Trust and Plans
Anakin stood over Ahsoka's hospital bed, hoping she made a full recovery. Nick approached Obi-Wan and Marek, who stood outside if the room. "The doctors say she'll be fine. Apparently dimensional travel can lead to unconsciousness." The Director said. "That's great." Replied a relieved Obi-Wan. "Now we can get to proper introductions. I'm Marek, Jedi Knight. This is Obi-Wan Kenobi," he said gesturing to the Jedi beside him. "Anakin is the one you talked to about Ahsoka, his student. As you can tell we are not from here." He said using 'here' in a broader sense. Nick shook their hands. "I'm Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director."
"Good, to meet you, Director. I noticed things were a bit chaotic back there," Marek said referring to the events that took place soon after their arrival. "What exactly happened?"
"Marek," Obi-wan interrupted. "Can I have a word, in private." Marek nodded to Nick and approached Obi-wan. "What is it?"
"Your kindness is getting the better of you. We cannot get involved in their affairs. After all we just met them, whether or not their our friends or foes has yet to be established." Obi-wan answered. "That matters not, people are in danger, as Jedi we need to help them anyway we can." Marek said with a dark undertone in his voice. "Besides we don't know how long we'll be here, we might as well do something proactive. He finished. They grimaced at each other. "Very well," Obi-wan said. "But when you get us into a bad situation, you have yourself to blame."
"Trust me, I don't think the situation can deteriorate any more than it already has."
Back on Coruscant, the Senate Building and Jedi Temple were bustling. Three speeders, carrying several members of the Jedi Council, soared to the Chancellor's office. The speeders parked in front of the entrance hall and they disembarked to the room, which no doubt was full of politicians. "Ah, Master Windu, you've arrived. Now we can begin to unravel this unfortunate mystery." Chancellor Palpatine greeted the Jedi. "Dr. Boll has informed me of the events that took place. I assume the same can be said for you, Master Yoda." Palpatine inquired. "Informed we have been. Spoke to Dr. Boll myself, I did. A solution she may have." The old Grand Master stated. He turned on a hologram of the Doctor with a wave of his hand. "Chancellor," She said bowing before him and the senators. "Doctor, I hear you may have a solution to this dire situation." The Doctor spoke, "Yes, Your Excellency. Seeing as we still have the Cube, we have the ability to try to make her create another portal. And, perhaps, in doing so find Master Kenobi and the others." Murmurs started around the room. "But wouldn't that be extremely risky, given we don't even know where in our galaxy they are, if their even in our galaxy." Master Mundi pointed out. "I may be able to lock on to an energy remnant similar to the Cube, by using it to enhance our detectors," Boll explained," I would just need a team to be sent to those coordinates for the rescue."
"I volunteer." Announced Plo Koon. "I will too." Followed Kit Fisto. "And I." Sounded Marek's padawan, Jett. "Then it's settled. You three will rendezvous with the twins, Tiplar and Tiplee, and a small clone group when the coordinates have been found." Ordered Mace. The Jedi bowed to Palpatine and the other Senators and departed.
