	I read your viggy over on Saga and just had to check this out. SO glad I did! What a wonderfully original and complex scenerio you have set up here. I can't even imagine how complicated things can become as this unfolds. Great set up! -----signature----- Headstrong : http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/27188681/p1/?5 Xanatos/Quinlan/Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan/Dooku Updated December 17th! In Memoriam: Itachi Uchiha

	Valairy_Scot - The fun is just beginning. Fifilla - Thanks for reading. aliceandjasper - There is so much fun with time travel, and so much potential for things to go all wrong. VaderLVR64 - It should be fun. diane - Anakin will be thoroughly confused before long. Poor guy. azizah - It is definitely be interesting with two Obi-Wans running around. Gkilkenny - Shock is probably an understatement. Qui-GonJinn1 - Thanks for dropping in to read. Healer_Leona - Two Obi-Wans, Qui-Gon, and Anakin all together is very fun. xxxkbunnies - Thanks for reading. Ganki - I can guarantee that things will get more uncomfortable and "weird" for Obi-Wan. Unfortunately, Anakin's confusion won't be getting any better soon. jedidas3 - Thanks. I hope I can rise to everyone's expectations. REALbluelightsaber - Thanks - more headed your way. ClaudiaR - All I will say is that Obi-Wan and Anakin won't necessarily see eye-to-eye on what to do in their current circumstance, and both are going to learn a lot. Itachi-Ichiha - Time travel always tends to complicate things. Qui-Gina-Jinn - Glad I got your attention. Next post up shortly. -----signature----- No Legacy So Rich : Xan,OC, Obi, Qui (12/19) Seekers, Not Saints: SW/TB crossover (8/12)

	Chapter 2 A bewildered Jedi master and his padawan sat eating their evening meal in the galley space of their transport. The small ship had been their only lodging on their previous mission. Both would have preferred any sort of local meal to the field rations they had existed on for far too long, but Obi-Wan felt they needed to retreat to a less public spot until they could sort out what was happening. Though he wouldn’t readily admit it to his padawan, he was shaken. He had not been prepared to see his former master approach, and had certainly not been equipped to feel Qui-Gon’s presence again. It had released a flood of memories and emotions within, and he hoped that after they ate, he would have the time he needed to bring peace to his inner turmoil. “Master, I need you to tell me exactly what happened during this mission to Bandomeer.” Obi-Wan looked up; realizing, he probably hadn’t eaten a bite in the last five minutes. Anakin’s eyes narrowed, reflecting concern over his mentor. Offering a weak smile, and making sure his features were composed, Obi-Wan began to speak. “There isn’t much to say that I haven’t already told you before, Padawan.” Anakin’s face scrunched up, and he slouched down in his seat. “Yeah … umh … maybe you should review the main points again.” Obi-Wan let out a sigh. It was probably for the best as Anakin had likely not been paying careful attention when he had told the story the first time. “Qui-Gon and I came to Bandomeer on separate missions. I was to observe the Agricorps projects that were being conducted in the Eastern Enrichment Zone because that was where I was to be assigned if a master did not choose me as an apprentice. Qui-Gon was to serve as a mediator between the two companies that mined Bandomeer, an assignment that turned out to be a trap set by his former apprentice, Xanatos.” “The one that turned to the Darkside,” Anakin said, the previous relayed information coming back to him. “Yes, Anakin.” “And … Xanatos … tried to kill both of you.” “He set a series of bombs, intending to blow up most the planet.” “Great,” Anakin huffed sarcastically. “You mean we’re sitting on one big bomb right now?” “We have time, and I know where the master control is located, and how to stop it if that becomes necessary,” Obi-Wan assured him. “If it becomes necessary?” Anakin asked in disbelief. Amused by his apprentice’s concerned, Obi-Wan explained. “Qui-Gon and I eventually crossed paths on our missions. Events surrounding disarming the bomb are directly responsible for my becoming his apprentice. I intend to leave Qui-Gon and my counterpart alone and let history take its natural course.” Obi-Wan pushed away his poor excuse for a meal and leaned back in his chair. “Our priority needs to be repairing this ship and finding our way back to our time before we interfere with these events.” Though Anakin said nothing, Obi-Wan could see that his words had troubled his apprentice. Bright blue eyes were brimming over with heavy emotion, and the boy’s nostrils flared as they often did right before he challenged an order. “This is our chance, Master,” he said emphatically. “Don’t you see it?” “See what, Anakin?” “We can warn Qui-Gon about Naboo, the Sith, and …” Anakin trailed off as his mentor failed to jump with enthusiasm. “And save his life?” Obi-Wan suggested. He had suspected this was where the conversation would lead. “It would be dishonest for me to say the thought had not crossed my mind.” Anakin looked hopeful, a smile forming on his lips. “But we cannot.” “What?!” Anakin stood up abruptly, slamming his hands down. Plates and utensils clattered, the force of the blow nearly pushing the table back. “Don’t tell me this is about not messing up your chances to become a knight.” Obi-Wan pushed aside the sting of the accusation and frustration over yet another impudent outburst. “Sit down, Padawan,” he said sternly, in a tone that would remind the youth of his place. Anakin flopped back down in the chair, the eyes meeting Obi-Wan’s with smoldering with anger. “I would hope that in twenty years of training and life experience I have come to learn that the universe does not revolve around the hopes and dreams of my thirteen year old self,” Obi-Wan replied calmly. “It also doesn’t revolve around our personal feelings of not wanting Qui-Gon to die.” Anakin flinched as though slapped before looking down. “We have absolutely no understanding of how we got here, Anakin. If we are in fact in the past, changing events in the timeline could be dangerous. It changes our history.” “And what if that history is better?” “What if it is worse?” Obi-Wan challenged. “What if by altering one single event in the past, you are never found, or worse, the Sith find you first? What if you are never born? What if the Order tries to seek out the Sith early and it ends with horrible repercussions for the galaxy?” Anakin looked back up, resolve burning in his eyes. “You said that we don’t know how we got here. What if the Force brought us here for a purpose? Maybe we are here so that we can talk to Qui-Gon. Who knows … if we are here, maybe the Sith are here also trying to mess with this precious timeline.” He shrugged his shoulder in an insubordinate gesture. “If we stay tucked away on this transport, we will never know.” Obi-Wan rubbed the sides of his head with his fingers. The arguments Anakin made were valid … if only they hadn’t come as yet another challenge to authority. “ Point taken, Anakin. We will need to follow Qui-Gon and my younger counterpart to see if a threat exists.” At the delighted grin that broke out over Anakin’s face, he issued a stern warning. “We should only follow, not interact or interfere with events here. Do you understand?” “Yes, Master.” Folding his arms across his chest, Obi-Wan thought for a moment. “It will be easier for you to follow Qui-Gon and for me to follow … well … myself.” “Why is that easier?” “I already know where I will be,” Obi-Wan said, smiling. “Easier for you, you mean,” Anakin grumbled as he got up from the table. “Padawan,” Obi-Wan said softly, more seriously. “It has nothing to do with ease. If some unknown threat exists, it does not make sense to pair up two Jedi masters, and then pair up a padawan and a twelve year old initiate. My younger self has very little training.” “I understand, Master,” Anakin said, offering a lop-sided smile as he nodded. “I’m going to get started on repairing the ship.” “You should get your rest,” Obi-Wan suggested. “There is no rush on the transport. The Council isn’t expecting us for twenty years.” “Master …” Even still full of conflicting emotion, he couldn’t help but laugh at his mentor’s humor. “There is no way I can sleep right now. I am too restless. I need to fix something, and making sure we have a way off this bomb seems a valuable use of time.” Obi-Wan nodded at his padawan. “Very well.” A project as big as repairing the ship would help Anakin focus, and that was exactly what the youth needed at the moment. *** K-7, Core 8. Core 7. Core 6. Core 5. Narrow. Pressure. Trapped. “Yes, Qui-Gon. I can do it. I will do it.” Qui-Gon continued to turn the words and images from his dream over in his mind. What did they mean? The image of the broken circle was familiar, reminding him of his former apprentice, Xanatos. But why did the dream leave him feeling so helpless … so frustrated? He had never been gifted with foresight in his dreams, and usually would not dwell on one. But the dreams, in combination with the note he received upon arriving on Bandomeer -- the one from his former apprentice, Xanatos, had set him on edge. Letting out a deep sigh, he decided to be honest with himself. It was more than Xanatos. It was the boy. Glancing over to the small form on sleepcouch next to his, Qui-Gon thought of all that had happened since he and Obi-Wan had left Coruscant days ago. The boy had faced trials worthy of a padawan and had handled himself well. He was painfully aware that Obi-Wan still held onto hope of being chosen, but it was a commitment Qui-Gon was hesitant to make. It would make him vulnerable to be connected once again, especially to someone who still struggled with anger and ambitions. And that was why he was so troubled by what he had sensed on the landing ramp the day they had arrived. For just a brief moment, it was as though the Force had opened a window into the future and had shown him what the boy could be. He had sensed a magnificent, composed presence that was without doubt, Obi-Wan. It had touched his mind in the way he remembered a padawan would, and he had sensed great fondness and undying devotion. It had saddened him when that window was abruptly slammed shut, and he remembered turning to a downcast Obi-Wan. Deep down, when Qui-Gon pushed past his own fear, he realized that a part of him wanted to be connected to that warm brilliance, and to see the eager boy that trailed him and hung on his every word become that man. This time on Bandomeer would be good. They would go their separate ways in the morning. Obi-Wan’s mission would test him. Qui-Gon would be there to observe. He sensed this time on Bandomeer would tell him what he needed to know. -----signature----- No Legacy So Rich : Xan,OC, Obi, Qui (12/19) Seekers, Not Saints: SW/TB crossover (8/12)

	I loved that Obi-Wan would follow his younger self and Anakin would follow Qui-Gon. However, Anakin isn't known for following the rules. Great job.

	What a great setup, I can tell this is going to get interesting. I can hardly wait. You did such a great job on both Anakin and Obi-Wan in this last exchange, Anakin’s eagerness to rush in and Obi-Wan’s caution. So many people take Obi-Wan to the extreme and make him either a helpless pile of emotion or a piece of petrified wood. I think you got him just right. azizah

	Interesting, i get the feeeling that Anakin won't obey the noninterefence rule... makes me wonder how he will react to seeing his future master take a plunge from the mining platform, hell maybe he will be able to connect to the younger Obi and understand his master more... he needs to get some sense pounded into him some time! Good to see Qui softening towards Obi... he should have done it earlier! even if Obi isn't willing to warn them about the coming events maybe he would try to caution his previous self to avoid the Melida/Daan debacle (all very subtly of course) -----signature----- LURK&STALK It takes a specialist to do it right " Getting to stalk around importantly was quickly becoming the best part of pretending to be a Sith.

	I just know somehow, sometime, Anakin will either interfere - accidentally on purpose, or possibly, Obi-Wan totally accidentally. Anakin does make some good points, as Obi-Wan recognizes, but - the reverse is also true. sits back and waits for the story to develop.... -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/fan_fiction_resource/b10304/25405090/p3/?52 Prolific Author thread: list & links there.

	I also think that Anakin will interfere - and that he will probably do it on purpose. But I guess we have to be patient and wait for the next update... For just a brief moment, it was as though the Force had opened a window into the future and had shown him what the boy could be. He had sensed a magnificent, composed presence that was without doubt, Obi-Wan. It had touched his mind in the way he remembered a padawan would, and he had sensed great fondness and undying devotion. It had saddened him when that window was abruptly slammed shut, and he remembered turning to a downcast Obi-Wan. Deep down, when Qui-Gon pushed past his own fear, he realized that a part of him wanted to be connected to that warm brilliance, and to see the eager boy that trailed him and hung on his every word become that man. This time on Bandomeer would be good. They would go their separate ways in the morning. Obi-Wan’s mission would test him. Qui-Gon would be there to observe. He sensed this time on Bandomeer would tell him what he needed to know. So, Obi-Wan and Anakin have already change the past, haven't they? Qui-Gon has sensed Obi-Wan's presence and he has realized that Obi-Wan is meant to be his Padawan. -----signature----- "There's always a bigger fish."

So much for not changing thr past, Obi-Wan... even your presence has already changed it. Why is it that in every timetravel story they think they can just not change things. It´s virtually impossible... This chapter was very interesting and I agree with Anakin, that they are meant (by yourself or the Force, I don´t know) to change something. I just have no idea what that is exactly and how this would influence the real timeline and the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin... I guess I will have to wait

He had not been prepared to see his former master approach, and had certainly not been equipped to feel Qui-Gon’s presence again No doubt, no doubt at all! "I intend to leave Qui-Gon and my counterpart alone and let history take its natural course.” Oh!! Yes, of course. You have to, if only to not change anything that has already happened. “What?!” Anakin stood up abruptly, slamming his hands down. Plates and utensils clattered, the force of the blow nearly pushing the table back. “Don’t tell me this is about not messing up your chances to become a knight.” For shame Anakin, you should know better!!

	Great chapter! Obi-Wan is right about not intefering. You just know that something is going to happen to make them intefere, though. I would love to see Obi-Wan's interaction with his younger self. And, of course, we wonder whether or not Anakin will listen to his Master I'm glad Qui-Gon seems to be having good thoughts about young Obi-Wan.
