    Most hospitals had a room or area that the patients could socialize in outside of their rooms. Some even had gardens to stroll in. There were no gardens on Coruscant, but there was an artificial botanical. It was another day before Tag was allowed to leave his room. He was given a hoverchair to get around in. Allai stayed in the hospital, mainly because she had no where else to go and partially due to Tag?s grumbling need to be entertained. How she was entertaining him she still hadn?t discovered, but it didn?t bother her.

    They were presently strolling through one of the botanicals. Allai was trying not to yawn, knowing at the first sign of fatigue that Tag when send her back to the room to sleep on the cot. She never was able to sleep well in hospitals.

    ?What was it like working with the Jedi?? Tag asked, maneuvering his hoverchair around a stray branch.

    Allai shrugged. ?Like working with someone in the way. Qui-Gon was nice enough. He helped me without question, probably because I helped him. Now, Obi-Wan on the other hand. He was paranoid. Always afraid I was there to kill him.?

    Tag chuckled and grinned. ?Kill him, huh??

    ?Yeah,? Allai said. ?Even after I saved their butts a couple of times. And then when Kenobi stopped being so paranoid, I put them right back in danger. They must really have gotten sick of me if they told me to stay here.?

    ?I suppose watching over me is a real bore,? Tag said quietly. ?You?d probably be firing turbolasers down on Rwett if it wasn?t for me.?

    Allai stopped and put a hand on the hoverchair?s back to stop its forward motion. ?You think I view my orders at staying here as a chore??

    Tag shrugged and gazed at her steadily. ?I know you would rather be saving the galaxy than watching over a crippled man.?

    ?It all depends on who the crip is,? Allai said, teasing a little. ?No, Tag, you?re just about my only friend. I?m not going to leave you.? They began to walk?and hover?again. ?So, why were you asking about the Jedi??

    ?You know how the Jedi often have Republic pilots take them on their missions?? Allai nodded. ?Well, I can?t go on any missions anymore, but I can still fight for justice if I become one of their pilots.?

    ?Sounds reasonable,? Allai said, frowning a bit. ?But what am I to do? Get a desk job? You know as well as I do that your operation will be terminated by the Republic.?

    ?You can be my co-pilot,? Tag laughed. ?And my personal slave!?

    ?This is beginning to sound familiar. Aren?t you afraid I might assassinate you??

    /Heaves thread back to page one/

    Amidolee, they had pictures of a civil war re-enactment in Republic, MO. Is that where you were? I didn't see any women in the picture, so I know I didn't see you.

    MESA BACK!!!!!

    Yup, that's the one! It was a real mess there with all of the rain. A bunch of people packed up and left Saturday morning before they closed the reenactors' lots down. Tractors had to drag all of the cars out.

    In smaller battles, I usually get in the paper, but not in any of the Springfield ones. I hate it when you're trying to get your hair up in a bun after a storm and a reporter comes up and starts snapping pictures. The Reb parking was closed off, so we had to park two miles away from the site. We walked through a creek and mud to get to the field, and some lady came up to us, wanting our pics. We were carrying all of are supplies and stuck in mud.

    But it was a fun weekend anyway

    I don't have a post for you people yet, but I will try to have one up tomorrow. I'll be putting one up on the other thread in a few minutes.

    Ack, I have to catch up on USJS also eek.gif

    Back from Dr Ed! Okay, here's the post that must have gotten eaten.

    The next few days passed without word from the Jedi or any of the other investigators of the Republic. Allai spent her time with Tag, trying to help but there was no need. He constantly reprimanded her for her display of nerves and she tried to remember her focus training, but when she stopped her pacing and frantic flight her mind would contemplate about a thousand disastrous scenarios.

    ?Stop,? Tag spoke firmly but gently. ?You?re beginning to make me nervous.?

    ?How can you be so calm?? Allai asked, biting her lip and clasping her hands together. She never fidgeted, and yet here she was, looking as nervous as a womp rat with his tail curled under a rock slide.

    The man shrugged, a wry smile curling his lips. ?Who says I am? I didn?t.?

    She scowled at him and paced in front of the window overlooking Coruscant?s skyscrapers. She didn?t like having her ability to hide her emotions being criticized. She had worked hard to reach her status and respect. One of her strong points had always been able to focus on what needed to be done. The fact that she was unable to use her abilities was extremely irritating. ?Something?s happened. I know it. We haven?t heard any word from the Jedi??

    ?I?m sure they can take care of themselves,? Tag said logically. He cocked his head to the side. ?But then again, they had to have our brave Allai rescue them.?

    ?Don?t joke,? Allai growled. ?I was only using them to help me out. Resources. I?m not going soft.? She clenched her hands into fists for emphasis.

    Tag just raised and eyebrow at her, a clear taunt. She gave him a dirty look and continued her pacing.

    A moment later, the door hissed open and an importantly ranked clerk came in. ?Are you Miss Du?lin and Sir Tag??

    ?Yeah.?

    ?Your presence is requested,? the clerk said, his tone clipped and precise. He turned around, as if expecting them to follow without any explanation. Allai glanced at Tag and shrugged. Maybe they would find out what in the galaxy was going on.

    They were escorted into a Republic military office without preamble. A tall, well-built man in a gray uniform was speaking with a woman in a lieutenant?s uniform. Her brown hair was cut short and she had sharp green eyes. They both paused as Allai and Tag entered. The clerk bowed slightly and left.

    ?Ah,? the man said. ?Let me introduce myself. I am General Nbakk. This is Lieutenant Farr.? He paused, giving them a quick inspection. ?The situation in the Terrine sector is as serious as you?ve claimed.?

    Allai nodded, relieved someone seemed to think so.

    ?The Jedi are presently on their way back to Coruscant,? General Nbakk said. ?Along with Trustant Lishi Vindu. Rwett is currently under control by a Republic fleet. We believe most of the guilty party has been apprehended.?

    ?Most?? Allai inquired, an eyebrow raised.

    The General smiled. ?Yes, most. As you are a member of the Alderaan-Corellian agency, you must know how . . . perverse the Ketts can be. The Jedi are bringing some back for questioning. Along with the Rwette Lordship, Trekin.? Allai visibly winced and recoiled. ?You know Trekin, then?? Nbakk mused.

    ?I served as a gofer under him,? Allai said. ?Not the cleanest of sorts.?

    Nbakk smiled again, then gestured to Farr. ?The lieutenant, here, seems to agree with you. She had the assignment of scouting out the Rwette?s involvement a few days ago. Luckily, she did not run into the Ketts.?

    ?A small blessing,? Farr sighed. ?It would have been nice to gather more information.?

    ?The only information you would receive would be your date of death,? Allai said wryly.

    ?You survived,? Farr pointed out. ?As did he,? she nodded to Tag.

    ?We had help,? Allai said.

    Farr shrugged. ?Anyway, we will be needing both of you for information and interrogation. We still don?t know who is the mastermind and using the Rwettes as the front.?

    Tag cleared his throat. ?May I make a probable guess?? All nodded. ?What if this has been all controlled and conducted by the Ketts and the Al-Cors? We already know that even the most loyal of our agency have stooped to treason. What is their goal? What was their motivation??

    ?That,? Nbakk said. ?Is what we intend to find out.?

    And that's what I intend to find out, by reading the next post as soon as it comes up (I hope.) Keep going, Amidolee. Hey, any chance for any Obi-Torture coming up? Haven't heard from them for a while. They might have been captured or something in the meantime. You never know!

    Dressed in a smart cover-form of deep blue, Allai waited alongside Tag as the Republic military shuttle settled down onto the landing field. It was deep silver, glistening in the sun, battle scars evident on the lower hull. The running lights flickered and Allai caught the movement of Republic Senate guards and regular militia moving in place around the shuttle.

    ?A lot of fuss,? Tag commented quietly.

    ?It?s the military,? Allai shrugged, glancing to General Nbakk and Farr, whom where standing meters away. ?It?s all about show. Sometimes there will be a little strategy to it, but that?s only seldom.?

    Tag chuckled and then turned his eyes back to the shuttle. He was well aware of Allai?s apprehension, and the young woman was becoming dangerously close to fidgeting. What had happened to all of her training? Not that it really mattered, there would be nothing left of the Al-Cors anymore. Even if the agency wasn?t terminated, he didn?t think he wanted to remain alleged with them. His handicap was probably a good enough excuse, but he knew that even without it that he would never return.

    The ramp lowered and more guards filed out. Two cloaked figures strode out ahead, and Allai felt a smile tug on her lips. Some of her anxiety flowed out of her and her cheeks flushed in relief. Tag understood, but still mulled over her reaction.

    The General moved forward, Chancellor Valorum suddenly appearing with his contingent of guards. The Jedi came to a halt before them, bowing deep at the waist. They began speaking in low tones and Allai strained to hear. She couldn?t, so she contented herself with studying their faces and stance. She had noticed that Obi-Wan?s bow wasn?t quite as deep as Qui-Gon?s. The Padawan seemed to be carrying himself a little stiffly. Had he been injured? She found herself hoping not.

    Then the group turned to where she was waiting. Qui-Gon greeted her with a serious smile, and Obi-Wan nodded. ?Allai,? the Master greeted. ?I trust you haven?t been getting into trouble??

    ?No,? Allai said, a regretful tone in her voice. ?They won?t let me do anything.? She glanced at Tag. ?And neither will he.? Tag smiled at that and patted her hand. She turned her attention back to the Jedi and Chancellor. ?What happened??

    ?It is best to be discussed somewhere else,? Chancellor Valorum said, glancing back at the shuttle. Guards were no escorting about twenty humans and about ten Rwettes down. All were shackled and had a blaster pointed at them. An Umgal was also in the group. Allai gasped when she recognized Kindu. Then Lishi appeared, not shackled, but directing orders and overseeing the transaction.

    Now she was more curious than ever.
