*The bracelet worked to perfection Bail*
"How do you know that for sure, Sidious is good at hiding his true intentions"
*Trust me I just know*
"Fine. Are you going to do anything rash in regards to your former Padawan?"
*No I trust my fellow Jedi, even now I must remain hidden, it might have to be like this until the Clone Wars begin I don't know for sure though*
"Well I will trust both the Jedi and the Force that it knows what it's doing"
*Like your security chief said Senator get some sleep*
"Fine and Qui-Gon you do know you can call me Bail right?"
*Not yet, not until it's known I'm alive and likely we're friends*
"Not even in private?"
*I'll think about it after I reveal myself but not until then*
"Fine be your stubborn Jedi self I know how Jedi work in regards to friendship"
Bail goes to sleep and continues the meetings. A week later he was told that he could finally speak with Padawan Skywalker which he did before even going to Yoda for his sign language lessons
"You wished to speak with me and my Master Senator Organa?"
"Yes. I was actually wondering if you would with the Senate's and Council's permission help me protect my planet. You would be working with my planetary defense team and also my personal security team like John here who's actually my chief of security and as such I don't go any where's without him"
"Has the Senate decided to even allow Jedi to help with your current situation?"
"Yes they have because they don't want another Naboo if they can help it. The Council I am unsure of as of this morning, however I did suggest rotations when I made my proposal so that no one gets too comfortable in their assignment, not to mention the fact that depending on the mission a Jedi's skills will be needed else where's as well and I understand that"
"I would be willing as soon as my Master and I are cleared for duty, unless the Council decides I am to work under a temporary Master while Master Kenobi heals from any injuries he may have"
"That I will accept Padawan Skywalker"
Bail then is escorted to where Yoda was and they continue the sign language lessons
"Doing well in hand to hand combat are you?"
"Yes Yoda, my instructor Master Lenira says I am progressing well. I was wondering if I could actually have a spar with Master Plo Koon to see just how good I have gotten since starting Kor Soth Let lessons"
"Agree to that he will when come back he does"
"I understand"
"Senator Organa is also doing well in blaster training Master Yoda, though he won't mention it, he still isn't one hundred percent accurate with the tiny moving objects but he's getting there. Any other enemies he's good to go except one he's mentioned we'll have to deal with in the future but since I don't fully understand what that enemy is we can't train him for that yet"
"Good to hear it is that able to protect yourself better you are"
"Indeed it is. Fortunately we haven't been forced to test my training yet but if we must I should be able to protect myself fairly well"
Several hours later Bail's lessons were done for the day so he went back to the Senate building to continue his job as Senator when suddenly he was interrupted during a meeting with Senator Mon Mothma by a member of Mon Mothma's security team
"Jared you know better than to interrupt meetings like this"
"Sorry Senator's but it's an emergency"
"What's wrong?"
"Chandrila, it's been attacked Senator, something about poison in the water system combined with sleeper agents"
"Senator Organa I'm sorry but..."
"Go your planet needs you more right now, we'll continue the discussions later"
As soon as Mon Mothma leaves Bail contacts his own people to check up on the current situation in regards to the threat of his planet
"There's been an open attack Senator but we managed to push it back"
"If necessary can we send supplies to Chandrila?"
"Not sure at the moment Senator we won't know until the situation we're currently in is resolved"
"Understood, for now make sure if something happens to the fields we can still feed the people"
"Got it"
Communication ends and then knowing the room was secure John asked a question he felt was vital
"Do you remember this from last time?"
"Actually yes I do and it's really a simple problem. The only difference is that last time Alderaan wasn't facing a potential invasion"
"Well that was your last appointment Senator and honestly it's getting late, time for some sleep. I saw both you and Senator Mon Mothma trying to hide how tired you were"
"Understood John"
That night though instead of getting the sleep he needed Bail was remembering a very bad situation he had been in doing his diplomatic duties during the Clone Wars. When an accident caused an explosion Bail was instantly up and ready with a blaster in his hands. John knowing the Senator's past ordered everyone to stay out of the Senator's rooms unless specifically called for and then entered at great risk to himself hoping that the shadow Jedi was also there and helping keep Bail from moving from his current location even if he couldn't fully keep him from using the weapon
"Senator it's John, you're not on the front lines of the war you mentioned. You're on Coruscant in your rooms, you have a Kor Soth Let lesson tomorrow after finishing the meeting with Senator Mon Mothma. You also just had sign language lessons with Master Yoda. It was just a car accident that unfortunately also involved an explosion"
John simply talked for several minutes in a calm soothing voice. Finally Bail came out of whatever state he was and recognized when and where he was too and immediately put the blaster down
"John, what happened?"
"There was an accident outside. Somehow the explosion caused by that accident caused your war reflexes to trigger. You never moved from that one spot though I don't know if it's because of your shadow protector or if it was due to memories"
"A bit of both actually. For the most part I stayed put as ordered but there were a few times when I was remembering having to move for my safety but whenever I tried I couldn't. That and your voice brought me back to the present"
"That's good to hear Senator. Should I delay the meeting with Senator Mon Mothma until after your hand to hand lessons?"
"Please do, actually cancel all my morning appointments except the one with the Senator from Corellia because we do have urgent business to discuss that unfortunately can't be delayed any longer than it already has been"
"Good thing he's later in the day then"
"Indeed, the meeting isn't until an hour before lunch and honestly shouldn't take too long...we hope"
"Try and get some more sleep Senator. And if you want we can sound proof your rooms so that another incident like this doesn't happen"
"Agreed because I have discovered that if I wake up suddenly on my own I come out of it much quicker and even if I remember moving in my memories I don't move in real life except to get my blaster...or well I grabbed air originally"
"How has your wife taken it?"
"Until I am able to explain things to her I told her that whenever I am on Alderaan I will be sleeping in one of the guest rooms so as to not disturb her in case I get sudden messages in regards to work in the middle of the night. Fortunately I've done that enough times before that she doesn't question it, especially because I do try and sleep with her at least one night a visit and when I do I make sure to take special sedatives Yoda gave me"
"Why don't you take them every night?"
"Simple the sedatives I use while not addictive do still have nasty side affects if taken on a regular basis for too long. Not to mention remembering the past during my dreams sometimes gives me perspective once I'm awake"
"Fine, but I will force the sedatives on you if I feel they're necessary now that I know about them"
"No problems. I actually know when I need to take them myself, if this pattern continues for another few days then I will take the sedatives. If there's an important meeting with the Chancellor I will take the sedatives. Like I already mentioned if I want time with my wife I take the sedatives. I know how these sedatives work and my own schedule well enough to know when to take them"
"If you know your schedule so well why do you honestly ask me?"
"In case of last minute changes I was unaware of"
"Is this a habit from your war years?"
"Mostly, though shortly before the war started there were a few sudden changes I had to be informed of. You joined my security team the same period as last time but my schedule wasn't quite as hectic originally. I started the habit due to that but I wasn't consistent with it until the war started and I had to know about sudden changes every hour on the hour depending on multiple things"
"And as such whenever you were here you were constantly asking about meetings and anything else that had to do with your job as a Senator"
"Exactly, I also wasn't as vocal in my support of the Jedi for many reasons. Though in the end when the Republic became an Empire I wish I and many others had been more vocal then maybe..."
"What Senator?"
"Not something I can talk about right now. If Yoda gives me permission to expand on what I've already told you then I will explain things further but for now some things must remain secret"
"Fine, now then are you going to be taking your sedatives tonight?"
"No like I said I'll wait a few days to see if the pattern continues. I normally don't have to go through this more than once a night and even then I normally don't react physically unless there's outside influence but it does happen on occasion. Remember to wake me for the meeting with the Senator of Corellia though"
"Will do"
The next day Bail was going through some messages before leaving for his Kor Soth Let lessons and saw a message from Anakin about his reaction to the explosion the other night. He explained that both he and Yoda had both gone instantly alert and once they calmed down they headed towards the other's room to see how they had fared and met some where's in the middle deciding on a late night spar to help calm them down. The reason Anakin was saying this was because he was with permission speaking for both himself and Yoda and both were wondering about his reaction so Bail replied about how he had gotten his blaster and with John's help and the shadow Jedi he calmed down mentioning that his reaction was a bit more intense considering the dream he had been having right before the explosion. Just as he finished his reply and sent it off John came into the office
