    This is really interesting .. I feel sorry for Mace, it must be so hard for him. Qui-Gon too of course, but at least he knows who he is.

    Going well - but I'm glad I couldn't get access for a couple of days and so avoided some of the cliffhangers!!

    Great to see An-Paj back as healer, next time me or one of my kids are sick I sure would like to be able to get a hold of him, he's got to be the best around!!!

    Excellent, fascinating post! Good idea with the different dimension, not just a different time! And I like the way that An-Paj bristles at being sent away just as things are getting interesting, and his hope that none of his wives ever get into his psyche in a Force-meld. Good details!

    But what happened to the Obi-Wan in this dimension? What happened to the Obi-Wan in the original dimension? What happens next? Who will help Qui-Gon find the machine and get back, then destroy it? Oh, I'm looking forward to your next post so much, HealerLeona! My name's not Obi-Wan, so don't torture ME by keeping it back!

    Thanks for all the wonderful replies, and to the most often asked question, yes. We will be seeing Obi-Wan, perhaps after this post.
    Again, thanks for joining me for the ride.

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

    Qui-Gon Jinn sat comfortably on the large pillow, sippping a cup of molta root tea prepared by his former master. No, that wasn't quite right, this really wasn't his master, and yet it was.

    A smile crossed his face in wonder at the apparent ease with which his mind accepted the idea of traveling to an alternate reality. One in which was identical in many ways to his own reality, but where decisions along the way had changed some circumstances quite dramatically.

    It seemed a much easier transition for him then those around him, but then he wasn't the one confronted by the appearance of someone he thought long dead.

    Everything to him seemed pretty much the same. Well, almost everything, a frown darkened his deep blue eyes.

    Obi-Wan, he thought.

    Yoda had related to him the narrative of Obi-Wan Kenobi, a promising yet headstrong initiate.

    "Quick to anger, impulsive was he" Yoda described, "yet great potential I saw in him. A powerful Jedi would he be if instructed by a suitable Master."

    "Chosen he was not." Yoda said mournfully, "and at required age reassigned to Bandomeer he was."

    "A farmer." Qui-Gon reflected sadly on what had almost not been, at least in his reality. "Even after countless refusals on my part the boy's self-less heart shone through. He was willing to sacrifice himself for me.." Qui-Gon paused, the memory taking hold, "it was on Bandomeer that I took him as my apprentice, though still I questioned." he hung head shamefully.

    "The will of the Force it was." Yoda replied, "but gone were you here and harsh was Bandomeer for a boy so uncertain of himself. After a standard year destroyed the Agri-corps facility was, industrial sabotage was suspected but proven not. Injured Obi-Wan was and returned to Coruscant. Reaasigned upon recovery, refused he did. Not meant to be a Jedi he told me, could not bear the humiliation of failure.

    "Told him I did, not failure this was, but listen he would not. Left the Jedi he did."

    Qui-Gon had found this harder to accept then alternate universes, Obi-Wan not his apprentice, not a Jedi.

    Explaining to the Council his need to find the young man, they had hesitated at allowing him to locate Obi-Wan, even knowing that without his assistance Qui-Gon would be trapped in their world.

    They had argued security issues in involving a non-Jedi with knowledge they preferred being kept within the Order.

    It was Mace Windu that spoke up in his defense. "We worry what consequence would result from the knowledge of one man, so we deny Qui-Gon the ability to return to his own world. We must remember the greater risks involved in his remaining in a world that no longer has a place for him."

    Before continuing their discussion, Master Yoda offered Qui-Gon the disposal of his quarters to rest in. He politely accepted, understanding the Council's desire to consider the matter without his presence.

    Escorted by the two security guards, now told he was a guest, he led them to Yoda's apartment.

    They watched in a rather bemused state as the guest keyed in the security code to open the door, thanked them for their assistance and shut the door behind him.

    Inside Qui-Gon found his former Master's dwellings to be the same as in his dimension. A strong touch of nostalgia gripped him and he found himself standing at the doorway of what had once been his bedroom , or at least his alternate's bedroom.

    Looking into the room, which now onlyhad a bed and workdesk beside the window, he remembered it once overflowing with plants of all types and the occasional animal he had managed to convince Yoda needed his care.

    Closing his eyes, he allowed his mind to go back to that time. Hadn't there been some special pet, a small animal kept since childhood? A grin spread on his face. A worm, that was it, a Force-sensitive worm.

    Heeding a sudden whim, he stratched out on the bed an

    Oops! I retract my earlier statement, I had no idea this was the direction you were taking. That part between Qui Gon and Mace almost brought a tear to my eye.

    Excellent post! I liked the phrases "age-betraying noises" and "hospital johnnies". I also liked the idea of Yoda's ears being able to communicate without words. Also, the interaction between Yoda and Qui-Gon, and Mace and Qui-Gon was simply great, so realistic and touching somehow. It's like they're being given a second chance to talk to "their" Qui-Gon, and even if it isn't the same man, it still makes them feel better.

    Now I am definitely looking forward to seeing this non-Jedi version of Obi-Wan. (By the way, the Jedi Intelligence is a fantastic idea!) What will he be like? What sort of person? And how can he help this Qui-Gon without his years of Jedi training behind him? Will he run into his other self--or stay in this dimension? I can hardly wait for the next post!

    Ok, I have word from my mother that Obi-Wan in this story will look as Ewan does on one of his biography books(which I own) called:

    Ewan McGregor, The Unauthorized Biography. By Billy Adams

    So if you guys run across that book, you can get an idea of his looks. She says that, that's where the description of Obi-Wan will be inspired from, black leather and all(very sexy). See ya! tongue.gif
