Master Maru listened as the blue figure of Master Tasiel hologram spoke. Though young of face, Maru was old in the ways of the Force, and his eyes gleamed with wisdom gained through many years.

"The Council requests your aid," said Tasiel. "Master Sotth and his apprentice Lira traveled to Aridax. They sought an ancient temple rumoured to hold artifacts auctioned by Leader of mining corporation, but now three days have passed since auction was cancelled and we have had no word."

Maru's brow furrowed in concern . "Say no more, Master Tasiel. I shall fly with all haste to Aridax and rouse whoever plotting againts jedi there."

Tasiel sighed. "This is no joking matter, Master Maru."

"You're right, i am sorry" said Maru looking apologetic "But from what you said i think they tried to get to the temple without auction and were thrown into prison"

"Its possibilty"said Tasiel "lets hope they are alright"

"I think they are, we will contact council when we learn something more" replied Maru and moved his finger to end transmission. He made his way through the corridor towards the cockpit when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation of the ship exiting hyperspace. As the door parted, he jokingly yelled

"Keth, why are we out of hyperspace already?"

"Why? So I can plot a new course for Aridax, of course." said Kethan Joral, a young padawan with neatly trimmed hair,who possessed a natural handsomeness. Though rarely looking up from his datapad, enthralled by its vast knowledge.

Maru inquired, "How did you come to know about our new assignment?"

Keth replied cheerfully, "Well, I was browsing the Holonet when I noticed you had received an incoming call from the Council, and I accidentally overheard part of it."

Maru remarked, "What? How were you able to see when I received a call from the Council? And what if it had been sensitive information? You should not snoop on me."

Keth explained, "Don't worry, Master, it was under normal Council security codes. If it had been sensitive information, they would have used different encryption."

Ket continued earnestly, "And the reason I was able to see your transmission is that while we were on Coruscant waiting for a mission, I wanted to know immediately when we received a new assignment. So I may have given myself permissions to access your datapad and personal hologram."

Maru suggested, smiling, "If it was only a mistake, then I forgive you. Now plot us a course for Aridax, and then show me how to revoke the permissions you gave yourself."
