	TITLE: Who brings the dark DISCLAIMER: Starwars does not belong to me, im just playing in the galaxy far far away. SUMMARY: A simple investigation to boost the image of the Jedi order soon turns into somthing far more complex for a lone Jedi Knight. AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is my first starwars fic, any comets of criticism is welcome. This fic came about as I tried to think what a jedi would be doing between galaxy ending threats. Set after the dark nest but before the legacy of the force series Bethany slowly dragged herself to consciousness, the incessant beeping from the com-unit finally getting loud enough to pull her from sleep. She stumbled from bed and in to her main room and reached for the holo-unit, intending to mute it before returning to sleep. The blinking ID header stopped her. It was from the Jedi temple. No chance to sleep now. ‘Master Horn what can I do for you?’ asked Bethany as Corran Horn’s image swirled in to focus. ‘My apologies for waking you, I forgot you her on the night side just now.’ ‘Its okay I was getting up in five or six hours anyway. I’m good for a mission’ ‘You would have been a great rebel pilot. The council needs you on Seranna five. There has been a robbery at a gem exchange.’ ‘That’s near bpfassh, there not the Jedi’s greatest fans, why is the order getting involved on a minor matter with people who won’t want me there?’ ‘The early report we have gotten say it was a Jedi that was responsible. So we need to show we can police our own and if it is a trained force user the security services will need your help in stopping them.’ ‘And I’m being sent because I’m closest, and the Jedi need a good image now, showing the holonet news we are helping.’ Corran smiled, ‘exactly. We have the standard packages set up for you. You can get the details at the alliance reps office.’ ‘Okay, Master Horn I’ll check in when I get there.’ ‘Good. May the force be with you.’ ‘and with you.’ Bethany took a calming breath as the dark reclaimed the room. She took a second deep breath pulling the force into her body, blowing away the fog in her mind, then punched in the com code for the star port. ~ ~ ~ Bethany dropped the x-wing gently into its berth at the Seranna spaceport. She popped the cockpit open, reveling in the site, sounds and smells of they busy docking bay. It didn’t matter if she was on a planet or a ship this was her favorite place to be. She vaulted out of her battered old ship before the scurrying techs could bring a ladder for her to use. She heard a few mutterings about stupid and arrogant pilots, she hide a small smile. “Jedi Clouder?” A man in a cheap, ill fitting suit stood looking at her, disbelieve filled his face and the force. She couldn’t blame him, she was in a black flight suit covered with new republic and galactic alliance battletabs and squadron patches, there was even an old rebel patch her brother had given her, and there was no lightsaber in sight. “Yes I am, How can I help you?” “I’m investigator Laars. I’ve been assigned as your liaison while you’re on Seranna.” His voice was flat but a little disgust, fear and mistrust leaked into his tone. ‘I’m honored, I would like to see the evidence you have once I have dropped off my gear and been to the alliance representative’s office.” Bethany walked around her x-wing while she talked and removed a bag from the cargo compartment and slung it over her shoulder. “Of course I have an air speeder waiting.” The speeder climbed smoothly into the near empty air, Seranna’s main industry was tourism so most of its heavy industry was kept off world. It made for a world of contrasts, wide-open spaces and small dots of dense urban areas. One of those small dots was rapidly growing larger as they neared the planetary capitol. Laars slid the speeder into the traffic pattern with precision, despite his nerves and constant watching of her. Mis-trust of the Jedi ran strong here. The speeder dropped in front of a low building that had the look of a converted warehouse with a small fence running around it. “ The GA consulate. I’ll wait for you. I hope you won’t be too long.” His tone made it clear a Jedi would be capable of anything. Bethany walked into the building, a Bith at the front desk hid a yawn behind a professional smile, “Welcome gentle being, how may I help today?” “I'm Jedi Knight Clouder I was told to see the alliance representative once I landed.” “Of course this way, we have been expecting you.” Bethany could see the Bith's surprise, but ignored it, she knew she didn't look like the classic Jedi image, not in a creased flight suit and dirty hair. The bith lead her to a small office on the second floor. “Jedi Clouder, welcome to Seranna.” The alliance rep was a Gotal, he quickly stood and shook her hand before offering her a seat. “I'll try to be brief, Seranna is a firm supporter of the GA but their dislike of the Jedi runs deep so I wont be ale to help you much during your stay here.” “I understand your position, I'll try not to make your job any harder.” “Thank you Jedi Clouder. We have a room set aside for you in the barracks as we could not find anything else on such short notice.” “That will be fine tank you.” “Good I wish u luck on your investigation. Anna will show you the way.” Bethany stood and left following the bith woman to the small room that had been set aside for her, she changed in to a fresh flight suit hiding her lightsaber in one of the pockets, wishing she had time for a shower but knowing every minute she wasted would make Laars even more irritated. She walked back out of the compound the setting sun gave everything a golden hue, it was a peaceful moment. she savored it knowing not many would come. "Still don't look much like a Jedi," said laars referring to dark red flight suit she now wore. "Your people don't like Jedi no point rubbing it in there faces." "A Jedi thats not arrogant, what ever next. " Laars snorted with disgust before he climbed back into the speeder. Bethany quickly followed him, "Okay lets go to teh security station of the gem dealer, I want to see the holocam footage."

	Hey errant. Really good idea for a fic, and it's off to a solid start. It's nice to see the Star Wars universe in everyday types of situationns, instead of the big, galaxy spaning type threats. What I would reccomend, if you haven't already, is pay a visit to the Resource board. It's a good way to get to know other writers here, and you may want to think about finding someone to act as a Beta reader, who basically proof reads the story before it's posted. Welcome aboard, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter already. -----signature----- Legacy of Love - http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=28575337&brd=10477 Second Kiss - http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=28530257&brd=10476
