Luke hoped that Mon Mothma would have some info on the Jedi for him, but it turned out she needed him to do a mission for her. "I wouldn't ask you this unless I truly needed you Commander Skywalker, but everyone I have sent to this particular place has never reported back. I don't want to risk any more men then I have to, and I figure with your Jedi senses, maybe you can keep whatever danger has befallen them from happening to you. So I ask, will you please go and check, for me?"
Luke paused, lost in thought. He didn't want to give up on looking for the Jedi, or even take a break from it, but who knows maybe he could find out some information while doing this favor for Mon Mothma. "Sure I will take it. I will leave as soon as I can arrange to do so." He told her. "Thank you Skywalker." She replied before signing off.
He headed back into the main room to tell Ahsoka and Kanan that he needed to go, when Ahsoka came rushing in and said "One of my contacts thinks that they may have a lead for us! We should jump on this while the trail is hot!" Kanan came in just then and said "I'm all for that. My contacts still have nothing, you in Luke?"
How he wished Ahsoka had gotten to him sooner, he wanted to go, but he had given his word. So he shook his head and said "I wish I could guys, but the Rebellion needs me to do a mission. They have lost too many men on it already, so they called in me, haha. But I will keep my eyes open while I am on it."
Ahsoka hesitated and said "We could wait for you Luke." But Luke held up his hand and said "Thanks for the offer Ahsoka, but splitting up would be best. Your lead might disappear if we wait and my mission might cost more lives if I wait, so it's best this way. Besides who knows what we might uncover if we split up." Kanan looked back and forth between the two, before asking "Do you need some help Luke?"
Luke smiled to himself, knowing that Kanan was really just offering to get away from Ahsoka, before replying, "Thanks Kanan, but all I need is your help convincing Hera to let me take the Phantom, since I don't have access to my X-Wing." Kanan put his hand on his chin as he said "Hmm, easier said than done. You know how touchy she is about that starfighter and The Ghost."
Luke nodded and said with a wink "And that's why I put you in charge of securing it for me." Him and Ahsoka laughed as Kanan groaned at the thought of asking Hera for Luke. But in the end he grinned and bared it and asked Hera. "I don't know Kanan. I mean I trust Luke and all, but I hate to have the Phantom gone for who knows how long on a mission he may or may not survive." She replied.
"Come on Hera, please? Maybe he can stop at a Rebel base on the way and grab an X-Wing or something instead." "We both know that he doesn't really have time for that." Hera shot back. Then she sighed and said "He may take it, but he must activate the tracker so that if something does happen to him, we can find the Phantom and hopefully him." "Thank you Hera, I will go tell him." Kanan said before planting a kiss on her cheek and running off to tell Luke he had gotten the permission he required.
Luke soon came along with R2 and said "Thank you Hera. I will take good care of her." "You better, or you better not come back." Hera replied, only half kidding. Luke saluted smartly and said "Don't worry, my friend Hans has instilled in me the fear of the owner of any spacecraft I may borrow." Before climbing aboard the Phantom with R2, leaving Hera chuckling to herself.
