********************************************************************************
The people of Trella IV were well known for their hospitality, which was as warm as the sunny clime. Artisans and musicians, mostly, the Trellans had an open culture where few topics were taboo and nearly any being could find a niche. Therefore, it was somewhat of a surprise when the Jedi Council had accepted their request for help and sent Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice to the beautiful planet.
“Master, not to complain or anything,” Obi-Wan began, quick to preface his comments with the statement lest his Master think he wanted to return to Hoth, “but why exactly are we here?”
Hoisting his travel pack over his shoulder, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn led his apprentice down the ramp of the small interstellar transporter. “The Council did not see fit to share that detail with me, my Apprentice,” Qui-Gon stated as he took a deep breath of the warm, slightly moist air. “However, they did provide the name of our contact, so I am sure we shall soon find out. Dr. Sar Je’hall is known throughout the galaxy as one of the most powerful Force researchers.”
Nodding his head, Obi-Wan couldn’t help but look around at the unusual buildings as he followed his Master into the small space-port city. The original settlers of Trellan IV had been a diverse group of beings with one common goal. All had come from planets ravaged by the encroachment of technology and construction, and had chosen to settle a previously uninhabited planet in such a manner that their presence would not detract from the natural beauty. To achieve this goal, all construction on the planet was strictly controlled and managed so as to make certain that no damage was done to the overall beauty of the planet.
Even the storage buildings surrounding the landing strip were designed to be aesthetically pleasing- the fuel dispensers were landscaped and arranged in such a way as to appear as a part of the natural background, rather than standing out as something foreign to the land. Obi-Wan, although not as deeply entrenched in the Living Force as his Master, could feel the strong currents of it running throughout the city.
“It’s a beautiful planet, Master,” Obi-Wan couldn’t help but comment as they passed a small rounded building that was covered in Jarnina flowers.
“The Trellans have worked hard to keep it that way,” Qui-Gon commented, as he continued to scan the buildings for the small plaques that identified them. Finally reading one which stated “Administration,” he led his apprentice up the graveled walkway. “Many other planets have had similar goals to the Trellans, but have found that technology and nature do not always coexist peacefully. The demands that manufacturing and even extensive trade have on the environment prevents many societies from reaching this goal.”
“How do the Trellans manage?” Obi-Wan questioned as he and his Master walked up to what appeared to be an information desk and awaited the attendant.
“Through ‘perseverance, persistence and perspiration’ my grandmother always used to say.” Smiling brightly a young woman approached the two Jedi from where she had been standing near a filing system on the wall. “Welcome to Trellan,” she greeted the two Jedi.
“Thank you,” Qui-Gon answered for both as he and his apprentice offered bows to the woman. “Perhaps you can direct us to where we might find Doctor Sar Je’hall,” Qui-Gon questioned as the young woman took the seat behind the information desk.
Taking a moment to input information into the computer system in front of her, the woman answered “Dr. Je’hall can be found in Sector B. If you continue further down this hall,” the woman stated, gesturing to an open doorway to the right of both Jedi, “you’ll find her office on the third floor.”
“Thank you,” Qui-Gon stated again offering a small bow before he and Obi-Wan passed through the doorway into the hallway. After walking a short distance they found the stairwell and continued up to the third floor. Dr. Je’hall’s office was easy to find, as it took up the entire floor.
Upon exiting the stairway, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan found themselves in an airy, open area with glass walls partitioning off two separate areas. The first area was arranged in a typical office layout, with a large desk surrounded by book cases, filing cabinets and a table covered in parchment. The other area appeared to be a meditation room, with only a few mats on the floor and a low table with two candles on it. Sitting comfortably on one of the mats was an elderly woman. She wore a light blue robe that appeared to almost float around her and her white hair was pulled up in a loose bun on top of her head. The blue of the robe seemed as if it would clash with her green skin tone, but overall the image she presented was one of comfort and harmony.
As the two Jedi entered the outer office, Dr. Je’hall’s eyes opened and she turned so that she faced the two of them. “Please, join me,” she said in a voice that seemed almost too deep for such a small woman.
Following his Master’s lead, Obi-Wan sat lotus-style on one of the meditation mats facing Dr. Je’hall. Taking several deep breaths, Obi-Wan dropped into a light meditation, one which allowed him to still monitor everything that happened around him. He was uncertain as to what exactly he was supposed to be doing, even if he had been meditating as a Jedi for nearly sixteen years, and so he kept a close “eye” on his Master to determine what was expected of him. After a few moments had passed, Master Jinn released a deep breath and opened his eyes. Obi-Wan copied his actions.
“Dr. Je’hall, I am Qui-Gon Jinn, and this is my apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi. We have been sent to assist you,” the Jedi Master stated as he turned slightly to face the woman.
“Thank you, Master Jinn,” Dr. Je’hall answered, “but it is actually your apprentice that we need assistance from.”
A rapid eye blink the only evidence of his shock, Qui-Gon nodded. “I am uncertain what exactly you require from us, but my apprentice and I are more than willing to assist in any way necessary.”
“Excellent,” Dr. Je’hall stated as she climbed easily to her feet. Motioning for the two Jedi to remain in place, she went around the glass partition into her office. After opening a drawer or two of the desk, she returned holding a small metal disk in her right hand. “Our planet has long been known for its convergence of nature’s energy,” she said as she resumed her seat on the floor, “I believe you know it as the Living Force.”
“Yes, we could feel it as we exited our ship,” Qui-Gon acknowledged.
“What isn’t known,” Dr. Je’hall continued, “is that our planet has also lately become a focal point for another type of energy.”
Closing his eyes, Qui-Gon reached out with the Force. Although he could feel a slight tingle of “other” energy, the Living Force nearly overwhelmed his senses. Copying his Master, Obi-Wan also attempted to reach out. After a brief moment, he was nearly flooded with the power of the Unifying Force.
“I can feel it Master” Obi-Wan answered, after he opened his eyes to find his Master looking at him questioningly. “The Unifying Force is also very strong here… almost as if it is trying to… say something.” Hesitating on his explanation, the apprentice tried as best he could to put his impressions into words.
“That’s what we have felt too,” Dr. Je’hall interrupted. “At first it was merely a trickle, but lately some of our Force adepts have stated it seems to be more of a ‘shout’ than anything else.”
“Yes,” Obi-Wan agreed still caught up in the flood tide of the Force, “it’s definitely as if it’s trying to pass on a message.”
“We have been working for weeks to try to ascertain what it is trying to tell us, but it wasn’t until a few days ago that one of our adepts was given a vision. While we are still not certain of the entire message, it was clear that we were to pass this,” Dr. Je’hall said, holding up the silver disk, “onto the Jedi apprentice who was sent to our planet.”
“What is it?” Qui-Gon asked as both he and Obi-Wan leaned forward to get a better look at the small, flat disk in her hand.
“It’s a Marla disk. It came to our planet with one of the original settlers from that region,” she declared. “It has remained in the artifacts section of our library for nearly two hundred years.”
“A Marla disk,” Qui-Gon murmured as if trying to recall where he had heard the word before. After a brief pause, he continued. “A disk used to store a specific memory engram, or perhaps to serve as some sort of communication device, the exact usage of such was never entirely discovered. The Marlan society was hunted to extinction following one of the last great wars with the Sith.”
“We were never able to discover what exactly the purpose of the disk was,” she agreed. “Our best researchers guessed that it might hold some sort of data, but were unable to access it. Honestly, it was basically gathering dust in the library until the visions began.”
“Visions?” Qui-Gon asked.
“Yes,” Dr. Je’hall nodded, as she again stood up. “The Force adept who received the first vision continued to receive them, with more and more… insistence… until we finally reached out to the Jedi council.”
“Well, then,” Qui-Gon stated as he rose to his feet, “it appears that my Apprentice and I have our work cut out for us. Obi-Wan and I will take the disk and attempt to ascertain what knowledge is available on it.” As he reached out for the disk, Dr. Je’hall shook her head.
“It was clear from the visions that only the Jedi Apprentice should touch the disk.”
Nodding and taking a step back, Qui-Gon motioned to his Apprentice. Rising to his feet as well, Obi-Wan bowed respectfully before reaching out for the small disk.
“Thank you,” Dr. Je’hall said with a smile. “The Force was becoming very adamant.” Placing the disk in the Jedi Apprentice’s hand, she hesitated for a moment, closing her own hand over Obi-Wan’s. “Good luck, Jedi Kenobi,” she whispered softly as she quickly released his hand and the disk.
Taking a step back from the Doctor, Obi-Wan turned to his Master. Before he could complete his turn, a wave of vertigo washed over him, causing him to stumble. A second wave hit just after the first and Obi-Wan found himself completely disoriented as he was buffeted by waves of the Force. Bright lights began to swirl in front of him until Obi-Wan could no longer see his Master, Dr. Je’hall or even the room they had been standing in. Finally, he had to close his eyes as the vertigo worsened. Just before he felt consciousness leave him, the Jedi Apprentice heard his Master call out his name in an anguished voice.
***
Even before he opened his eyes, Obi-Wan knew that he was no longer in the same place. Instead of the light smell of sandalwood from the candle on the meditation table in Dr. Je’hall’s office, he could smell the acrid stench of blaster fire. His ears were also assaulted with the sounds of battle, and he almost thought he could hear the sounds of several lightsabers. Opening eyes that felt as if they were encrusted with sleep, Obi-Wan found himself laying in the center of a sandy lot surrounded by stadium seating. Directly in front of him, he could see the backs of what looked like several Jedi dressed in standard battle gear. The group appeared to be a mix of Masters and Padawans, but all had their sabers drawn and raised against the blaster fire coming from an approaching swarm of droids. Even as he watched, one of the Masters took a hit and fell, leaving an opening in the circle.
Stumbling to his feet, Obi-Wan quickly drew his own saber and hurried to fill the open slot. Although he didn’t understand where he was, or why he was there, he could see his help was needed. As he ignited his azure blade, he quickly tucked the metal disk he still held into one of the pouches on his belt. Taking the place of the fallen Master, he began to reflect as many of the blaster bolts back toward the droids as he could. Behind him, he heard another Jedi cry out and felt the slight shudder as a body hit the sand. Although he couldn’t take the time to look, he felt as the Jedi entered into the Force.
/What is going on here?!/ He wondered, as he fought to continue returning the bolts. He couldn’t even dodge, lest one of the bolts hit one of the Jedi standing behind him in the circle. /The Jedi are not soldiers, why does it feel like we’re fighting a battle?/
Suddenly the droids in front of him went into a stand-down position and stopped firing. The silence was nearly startling. Before Obi-Wan could even risk glancing around to see if he could find his Master, a voice rang out. “Master Windu, you have fought gallantly.”
Looking up, Obi-Wan could see an elderly man in a black cloak standing on a balcony. Although he looked somewhat familiar, Obi-Wan couldn’t place where he might have seen him before. Instead, the apprentice took advantage of the pause in hostile fire to see if he could find Master Jinn. Although there appeared to be several familiar Jedi, Master Windu among them, Obi-Wan did not see his Master anywhere. /Perhaps he’s elsewhere?/
The sound of the droid army snapping back into a ready position brought Obi-Wan back from his thoughts and he again raised his saber to prepare for battle. Although he hadn’t quite understood the entire conversation between Master Windu and the other man, it appeared that this might be his last stand. /If I’m going to die here, I wish I could at least remember where ‘here’ is or how I got here!/
Before the battle could recommence, however, a young woman in the circle cried out and he looked up to see what appeared to be several of some kind of a battle ship preparing to land. Almost as if this was a sign, the battle began again and he was quickly caught up in defending against blaster bolts once more. This time, however, he had to defend on all sides, as the circle he’d joined had broken up as the Jedi scattered, trying to reach the landing ships.
Running toward one of the ships himself, Obi-Wan nearly tripped over the headless body of some kind of armored being. His stumble saved his life, however, as the blaster bolt that would have taken off his head, instead merely winged him. The shock was enough, though, that his vision began to waver. As he felt darkness overcoming him yet again, he saw one of the Jedi turn back for him. Just as the darkness swelled to fill his vision, he thought he heard Master Windu’s voice.

RE: Star Wars: REDACTION (Anakin, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon)
“Obi-Wan!” Qui-Gon yelled as his Apprentice disappeared in a sparkle of lights. He’d tried to reach out to his Padawan, both mentally and physically, when the incident had begun, but it had been like trying to grab a handful of air- it was as if Obi-Wan was no longer present in the room even before he completely disappeared.
“Master Jinn!” Dr. Je’hall called, trying to gain the distraught Jedi’s attention. Once she felt the focus of those piercing blue eyes on her, the Force researcher continued. “Your Apprentice has been sent on the mission your Force requested him for. Your Council did not forward you the message we sent?”
“No, obviously not,” Qui-Gon stated as he quickly used the Force to try to calm his beating heart and racing thoughts. “Perhaps you would be so good as to fill me in.”
Nodding to the mats once more, Dr. Je’hall reclaimed her seat and waited for Qui-Gon to again settle before she spoke. “The visions received showed a somewhat confusing array of images. At first, we were not certain what we were being shown. It was only as time passed and the visions continued that it became clear what we were being asked. I contacted the Jedi Council, and spoke to a Master Yoda, sharing everything we had learned with him. That was the last I heard until you and your Apprentice appeared this morning.”
“You are the one who received the visions?” the Jedi asked, as it became clear that Dr. Je’hall had more than a passing familiarity with what the Force had intended.
“Yes,” she nodded. “Although I have never before shown any sign of affinity with anything but the Living Force, I began to receive visions a few cycles ago. At first they were nothing more than scenes of a desert planet- hot, arid and sandy. As time passed, I also began to see visions of battles and bloodshed.” Pausing to regain her composure as the visions flashed once more before her eyes, Dr. Je’hall took a deep breath. “While I cannot begin to explain everything that I saw, it became clear that one figure was present in every scene I witnessed. At first, I saw him as an old man, tired and filled with sorrow. Then the visions showed me him as a warrior, fighting in battles across the stars. But the most important images came only recently—the images of a young Jedi Apprentice – your Apprentice.”
“But this doesn’t explain where Obi-Wan has gone, or what has happened,” Qui-Gon declared. “I understand that you believe you received visions that included him, but what have you done with him?”
“I cannot answer that question,” Dr. Je’hall began, raising a hand to stop the Jedi Master before he could interrupt, “I cannot answer because I do not know. All I was given to understand from the visions was that he would come here, and that I would give him the Marla disk. Beyond that, I only know that he has an important role to play if there is to be any hope for the future.”
****
“…adawan.”
Opening his eyes slowly, lest he find himself in yet another new place, Obi-Wan found it took a few moments for his eyes to focus and for the muffler over his hearing to dissipate. /Another concussion/ he surmised. With the life he and his Master led, he was all too familiar with the side effects.
“Padawan, can you hear me?”
Focusing on the source of the voice, Obi-Wan found himself looking into the chocolate brown eyes of Master Mace Windu. “Master Windu,” Obi-Wan acknowledged, although his voice sounded somewhat strangled.
“Padawan, it is imperative that you get back on your feet,” Master Windu stated, putting action to his words as he pulled Obi-Wan to his feet, “we are still in the middle of a battle and there is no where safe to leave you.”
“Yes, Master,” Obi-Wan answered thickly as his head swum from the sudden change in position. Using one of the cargo straps hanging from the ceiling for balance, he closed his eyes and attempted to use a wave of the Force to heal as much of his concussion as he could. Although he was not nearly as good at healing as his Master, necessity had made Obi-Wan a much better self-healer than most Jedi.
After only a few moments, Obi-Wan felt well enough to cease his efforts. Seeing that Obi-Wan was once again with him, Master Windu spoke. “Where is your Master, Padawan?”
“I don’t know,” Obi-Wan answered honestly. It was true, he not only didn’t know where his Master was, he also wasn’t certain where he was.
Nodding as if he had expected such an answer, Mace sighed. “Remain with this ship then. Although no where is safe, this is probably the best location.” With that, Mace and several other Jedi jumped off of the cargo platform as the ship lowered itself to the sand below.
Looking around, Obi-Wan realized that Master Yoda was still on the ship. Using the cargo straps, he began to make his way forward in the ship toward the small green Master. Before he had reached him, however, Master Yoda also exited the ship onto a platform that protruded from what appeared to be the command center. Once the venerable Jedi Master was safely on the platform, the ship took to the air again.
/Great, just great/ Obi-Wan sighed as he realized he was alone on a ship with only a few other beings in armor.
“Where do you want us, sir Jedi?” One of the armored men asked, causing Obi-Wan to look up, startled.
“Umm,” he hedged as he reached out to the Force trying to ascertain its recommendation. As he did, he felt a faint tingle that almost felt like a bond of some sort. /Master!/ Looking in the direction the feeling was coming from, he noticed another ship. “Follow that ship,” he commanded.

RE: Star Wars: REDACTION (Anakin, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon) - Updated 9/23 with Part 2
The ship Obi-Wan was following halted alongside a platform long enough for two figures to jump off. Although the Padawan was too far away to identify either of the figures, the strange sense of a bond followed them. "Drop me off there," Obi-Wan commanded pointing out the platform to the armored figure beside him. Nodding his head, the figure utilized the radio built into his suit to pass the orders to the pilot of the ship.
The platform opened up into a cavernous space where the sounds of a lightsaber battle echoed all around. Drawing his own saber from where he had secured it to his belt, Obi-Wan crept cautiously forward. As he neared where he could begin to see the flashes of light from the sabers meeting, Obi-Wan felt the bond grow stronger. However, he also began to realize that it was not the bond that he shared with his Master.
Advancing further, Obi-Wan was surprised to see what looked like a Jedi Padawan utilizing two sabers to engage a highly skilled opponent. A Jedi Knight lay on the ground beside the two combatants, nursing a serious burn on his leg. Igniting his own saber, Obi-Wan rushed toward the downed Knight, planning on standing guard and attempting to render aide if possible.
As he closed the distance between them, however, the unfamiliar bond became so strong that a buzzing sound echoed in Obi-Wan's ears. Apparently, the other two Jedi felt the same sensation, as the Knight raised a bloodied hand to his head, and the Padawan faltered in one of his blocks. The black robed opponent, seeing an opportunity, swept out with a powerful wave of the Force, sending the Padawan tumbling into a wall where he appeared to lose consciousness.
"Join me," the dark opponent stated as he turned to face the downed Knight, seeming to be hardly out of breath for the exertions he had just taken part in.
"Never," the Knight answered, feebly reaching out to the Force in an attempt to call his lightsaber back to him from the downed apprentice.
Recognizing the attempt immediately, the other blocked the lightsaber from reaching the Knight's outstretched hand by simply batting it away with his own use of the Force. Still unnoticed by the dark figure, Obi-Wan tried to gain the Knight's attention. When it appeared that the other Jedi had at last noticed him, Obi-Wan pantomimed throwing his own saber. The Knight nodded slightly, barely moving his chin.
"If you won't join me, you must die," the dark opponent swore, raising his own saber up into a striking position.
Enhancing his throw with the Force, Obi-Wan quickly tossed his own saber across the cavern toward the prone Knight. Although he hated to give up his only weapon, the apprentice could see that the Knight would clearly die if he didn't offer it. The saber hilt sailed quickly through the air, end over end, before landing perfectly balanced in the Jedi Knight's hand. Igniting it and raising it swiftly, the Jedi was able to block the downward stroke of his opponent just before it would have been too late.
"Attack the defenseless you should not, Count Dooku," came an unexpected voice from behind and to the left of Obi-Wan, "Expected better of you, I did, even after all this time. Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you.”
"Master Yoda," Count Dooku hissed, turning and stepping away from the downed Knight to face the oncoming threat. “I am now more powerful than any Jedi,” Dooku claimed as he took a step toward the diminutive Master, “more powerful than even you.”
Blocking the first of Dooku’s strikes easily, Yoda proved that his status as the most powerful of the Jedi Order was not earned in vain. “Much to learn, you still have,” Master Yoda answered as the battle began in earnest.
While keeping a close eye on the combat between Master Yoda and his opponent, Obi-Wan began to move closer to the still-unconscious Padawan. The Jedi Knight also appeared to be dragging himself slowly across the cavern floor toward the apprentice.
As he got nearer the two, the buzzing sound in his head grew stronger and stronger until it sounded like a swarm of bees were echoing in the space between his ears. The two other Jedi were clearly having the same problem, as even the unconscious apprentice was beginning to show signs of feeling the pain.
“Wa---wait,” the Jedi Knight stuttered through the pain. “Sss-tay over there, and keep w-watch.”
Nodding his head in understanding, and not even trying to speak through the pain, Obi-Wan backed carefully away from the other two, each step reducing the buzzing until it was back to a manageable level. Still cautiously watching the battle between Yoda and Dooku, Obi-Wan made his way back to the entrance area of the cavern to keep a look-out.
Just as he reached the better lit area of the opening, the battle between Master Yoda and his opponent ended with a draw as Count Dooku brought a section of the cavern down, nearly crushing the Knight and apprentice still lying on the floor. Yoda had to pull his attention away from Dooku in order to prevent the ceiling from collapsing completely. While Yoda was distracted, and Obi-Wan was too far away to do anything, Count Dooku boarded a ship and took off immediately.
Heaving only a slight sigh as he forced the collapsed sections of the ceiling to shift to an area where no one would be hurt by their collapse, Master Yoda turned his attention to the Jedi Padawan slowly approaching him from the entryway of the cavern. Twitching his ears in a sign that Obi-Wan had come to know meant that Yoda was surprised; the small green Master raised a gnarled green claw to gesture at him. “Obi-Wan Kenobi, much explaining you have to do.”

This is a great beginning to your story and I can't wait to see more! I really enjoy reading time-travel stories, and this one certainly looks promising.
Thankyou for sharing it with us!
(also, as you might be interested to know, this fic is the reason I decided to join the forum, so I can keep an eye on it)

RE: Star Wars: REDACTION (Anakin, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon) - Updated 9/28 with Part 3
The trip back to Coruscant was spent with both the Jedi Knight and Padawan in bacta tanks and Obi-Wan and Master Yoda in deep conference in the Master’s private chambers aboard the Jedi-owned cruiser.
“So no memory you have prior to appearing in the arena?” Master Yoda clarified.
“The last thing I remember is going on a mission with Master Qui-Gon,” Obi-Wan confirmed. “I don’t really remember all that much from the mission, though” he added after a moment. “It seems almost like a dream… not entirely clear or coherent in my mind.”
“How far in your training were you?” Yoda questioned, leaning forward toward the younger Jedi. Both were sitting on meditation mats on the floor of the cruiser- a position Obi-Wan had become quite familiar with during his training sessions with the venerable Master.
“I am six cycles away from my 16th birthday, and the 4th year apprentice tests,” Obi-Wan answered. “I was hoping to convince my Master to allow me to test at the 5th year level in the saber competition though.”
“Interesting,” Master Yoda hummed, leaning his chin on his ever present gimmer stick. “Interesting, indeed.”
“Where is my Master?” the apprentice asked after it seemed that Master Yoda was going to make no further comment. “Is he back on Coruscant?”
“Not on Coruscant is your Master,” Yoda answered after a moment.
When no further information was forthcoming, Obi-Wan decided that Master Yoda was not going to tell him anything else regarding his Master. Recognizing the futility of continuing that line of questioning, the apprentice sighed.
*********************************************************************************************
Something about the Jedi Temple was different. Master Yoda had asked Obi-Wan to wear his hood up, which allowed the apprentice to look around more than he would have permitted himself if others could see his face. Although the building itself appeared the same, inside and out, there seemed to be a heavier, darker atmosphere. It was almost as if a blanket of shadows had settled on the Temple.
There also seemed to be fewer Jedi in the halls and great rooms that the young apprentice passed. Although there could be some event that was drawing all of the members in residence, Obi-Wan had a feeling that that wasn’t the case. There was no air of expectation that one would expect if some great event was taking place, nor was there even a hint of any happy emotion. If anything, there was a pending sense of doom, almost like the air before a great storm.
Glancing at the Jedi Master hobbling beside him, Obi-Wan was surprised to see Yoda take no notice of the strange atmosphere. Pushing the thought to the back of his mind to bring up later, the apprentice soon realized that they were heading toward the lifts that would take them to the central spire where the Council Chambers were located.
“Master, could we stop by the healing center?” the Jedi Padawan asked.
“Injured are you?” Yoda asked, stopping and studying the young man beside him.
“No, Master” Obi-Wan answered. “But I would like to visit the Knight and Padawan that were injured. I feel some sort of … connection to them.”
“Visit them later we will,” the small green Master agreed as he began moving toward the lifts again. “First, to the Council we must report.”
Obi-Wan nodded and followed behind as Yoda called the lift. When it arrived at their floor, there were already several Jedi within. With his hood up, the apprentice could only see directly in front of him, as the fabric blocked his peripheral vision. On his way into the lift, however, Obi-Wan found his attention caught by a Mon Calamarian standing near the back.
\She looks so familiar\ he thought as he tried to place where he might know her from. \She’s wearing Healer’s green, so maybe I’ve seen her there?\
Working the puzzle over in his mind, Obi-Wan almost missed exiting on their floor and it was only when Yoda made a slight noise that he realized the green Master was already outside and waiting for him. Stepping quickly out of the lift, the apprentice hurried to the Master’s side and fell into step slightly behind him as they neared the massive wooden doors that marked the entrance to the Council Chambers.
“Wait here you will,” Yoda instructed. “Call for you I will when ready we are.”
Taking a seat on one of the benches perched along the walls outside, Obi-Wan watched as Master Yoda passed through the doors into the inner sanctum.
