Many Jedi were gathered up in the HALLS OF HEALING (yes I'm still calling it that) to see how bad of a condition their friends were in. No one said anything, they simply were calm.

When the healer arrived, almost everyone sat up straighter, eyes boring into her. She took a breath. "Master Plo and Skywalker are both relitively unscaved, a couple minor cuts and bruises, but nothing of concern. And there is no brain damage done to Aayla, she will only need a few days, as she'll be disorianted."

Mace Windu nodded. "And what about the others?"

She sighed. "Oi-Wan, I wouldn't expect him to be back in action for a week at least, with all that has happened, I feel it's best he have time to recover from it. I also found a microb that has planted itself inside him, just below his jaw. It could be the source of most of his insanity."

"Can you remove it?"

"Easily. I'll get to work on it."

"What of Kit Fisto?" He asked.

She shrugged. "Nothing that shouldn't heal with a couple days in a bacta tank. Should the lightsaber had peirced a little bit to the right, it would have killed him."

"And Shaak Ti?"

Her expression turned stoney, eyes unreadable. "There is so little I can do to help her at this point. The toxin has had time to spread all throughout her body, and I fear it could be an impossible fight to rid her of it. I couldn't find the antidote, and what I extracted wasn't reconized as anything on the scanners. It doesn't seem likely at this point."

Yoda looked down, ears slowly drooping a little. "Hm... Troubling this is. But give up we should not."

She nodded. "Though... there is something I found." She then looked to Mace and signalled for him to follow. Yoda as well kept up with the two as they walked into the medical bay, in one of the beds was the Togruta Jedi Master herself. Her skin looked dark purple, black lines branched all across her skin. "It was sort of an accident. I was examining a blood sample and I knocked a chemical vile off a shelf. The chemical got into the blood and I was worried that the sample was ruined when I saw that the black fluid was being eaten away. Now the sample is normal, no traces of toxin." She told him as she handed Mace the clear disk with a pool of crimson in it.

"Alright, so you do have a cure?"

"Not exactly." She sighed. "I looked at the vile and saw the exact chemical. It's extreamly dangerous to some species, my problem is that I'm not sure if Togruta is one of them."

"Well the blood looks normal." He noted. "That should be a good sign."

"Yes but I still must be a hundred precent sure that what I'm doing will work." She explained. "I also have a neutralizer for the chemical, but I think I must make a new version, one that I can be sure will not put her at risk."

Mace nodded. "I understand. But do hurry with it, I'd hate to see us loose her."

"I shall." With those wors said, Mace and Yoda both left in order for the medic to do her work.

Yoda noted calmly, "Worried Xestra is. Fear of failure I sense."

Mace casted him a glance. "And should it be a bad thing that she does feel this? It's common for this sort of emotion to set in, and with the situation, I would be surprised if she wasn't."

"But calm she must be, if to suceed."

"And you didn't tell her this, why?"

"Because, feel I do that telling her of something she already knows useless it will be. Work her own emotions out she will."


Xestra sighed when they left, then looked back to Shaak Ti. For a moment, she wanted wanted to punch a wall, scream to the world that she was not up to face this task. She was scared. What if she failed? If a Jedi Master dies because she couldn't help her?

Then she slapped a hand to her head, "Stupid! Why didn't I-?" She then started going through the information on her datapad. She remembered working with the chemical before, she even put down notes! There was something in certain species blood that acted with it that caused it to be dangerous. She recalled how it made blood clot at a rapid rate through out the entire body. Now if she could identify this thing in Shaak Ti's blood, she'd know not to use it and to look for a way to create a safer version.

With an unsteady breath, she grabbed a syringe and rolled up Shaak Ti's sleeve so she could get to the inside of the elbow, where an easy to reach vein was. She cleaned the area and carefully stuck the needle in, drawing some blood. The unsteading near black discoloration was unsettling. It made her shiver at the thought of her blood the same way.

Now that she could examine the sample, she started to look for any signs of the sort of enzine. She was bother relieved and excited to know there was none. With this, she got an appropiate amount of the chemical and prepared to inject it.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep beeeep beeeep beeeep

The sound of near heart failure on the screen made her work even faster. Simply pressing the needle into Shaak Ti's arm and letting the chemical do the rest. In this time she would monitor carefully, and possibly complete her notes on the chemical for later reference.
