24 Contac (2/2)
Having a network in place will greatly increase the influence that Jack would have in dealing with any schemes Palpatine might come up with. Jack's group which only consisted of himself and Sharia were heading to the jedi temple. Thos by far could be the most dangerous part of the mission.
If things go sideways Jack and Sharia could very well find themselves surrounded by enemies with no conceivable way out of that situation. Still this would be his best way to effect change in the greatest scale. If the jedi where made aware of the snake in the grass that the Senate was hiding. They might be able to stop the republic from falling into the hands of the sith.
Even through time was of the essence Jack, Trish, and Keith still share a moment to take a photo together. This would be the frist time in three years that they would be truly separated and on their own in a year, and for two of them it might be the last time they would see each other alive. Sharing one last hug they each broke off heading to their objectives, knowing that failure was not an option.
During the air tram ride to the jedi temple Jack and Sharia said nothing. For Jack he was running through all the possible ways this meeting in the next few minutes could go. Sharia on the other hand was concerned. She knew her people and the jedi do not get along well at all and in recent years the hostility between the two had been slowly rising.
She was concerned simply because her leader...her Mand'lor was about to willing walk into the nest of one of her people's greatest foes. With only two people...in her mind she was dead for sure her only thoughts were on how she could get Jack safely out, not if things went bad but when they did.
The flight wasn't long as the pair had been taken to the landing pad just at the bottom of the stairs leading to the temple. Jack was kicking himself for not bringing his JBL too play the 501st temple March song. Well he figure if he could convince the jedi to work together with him he could always come back and play it.
Taking his time the two made the walk to the top. By the time they reached it Jack was completely in the zone. The force had condensed its self around him, and in full Mandalorian combat armor it gave off a feeling of completely suppression. It was so great that even Sharia who was not force sensitive subconsciously move away from Jack.
It was not long before the force user inside the temple could feel the change in the atmosphere. Just before Jack could enter the temple a small figure stepped between him and the entrance. At first Jack didn't realize that there had been someone below him. Atlest until he spotted two horned montarls jetting up just below his field of vision.
Looking down Jack was at first surprised but then a small smile grew under his helmet though alot younger he still was able to recognize the toddler sized Ahsoka Tano. ”Ahm...exssuse mee masterss jedii I have lost my groups can you take me backs to thems.” It took ever cell in his being not to put her up and spin her around in circles.
Coughing sheepishly Jack knelt to her eye level and removed his helmet. ” Hello little Ahsoka I don't mind helping you find your friends let's head inside am sure some of the other masters saw them moving about.”
Ahsoka grinned then took him by the hand and led him inside. In Jack's mind he felt that things might go his way especially if he had been mistaken for a jedi master. The council should atlest be able to feel his good intentions. Atlest that is what he hoped for....
