The Arrival 34 The Plan

The meeting with the two Jedi Masters had been productive. It had taken some convincing but Yoda had gotten the Senate to start the process of recruiting a standing army, and not just a defense fleet. Windu in the other hand had been tasked to find a teacher that could teach military lessons to the jedi order.

He had at frist not wanted anything to do with the idea, but after explaining how it was a strong possibility that the Senate would want the jedi to lead the army of the republic. He slowly saw the consequences if jedi were made to be generals but had no knowledge of warfare. Though he was sure that many Master would pick up command he was not sure how many lives would be lost until they had learned.

So the jedi Master had come to Jack in the Hope's that he could send a teacher back to Coruscant to teach at the temple. Jack did not see it as a problem so he readily agreed. Jack had then informed the jedi of information that his spies had discovered. It had turned out that the Trade Federation, Banking Clan, Techno Union, Commerce Guild, and Corporate Alliance had all joined together and had been secretly building up arms against the republic. Though on the surface they had been playing at being good members of the Senate.

Jack suspected that they would announce their departure from the Republic some time in the near future. Though it had shocked the jedi at first they had long grown used to Jack's surprises. They discuss the steps they would need to take if the separates decided to leave on a violent note to kick off the war.

The last thing thing they talked about was the spilt that had started to develop in the jedi order. At first the master did not want to have a discussion over the topic, however Jack told them how if they did not broach the subject then the consequences that come with it would be on his generation of council members. That had caused both masters to sigh and tell Jack about the who of the situation.

"Some in the order believe that we are over stepping our bounds." Master Windu stated plainly. " The feel that the jedi have no business in policy or training for war, or any of the actions we have taken so far." The man added. Yoda spoke next saying,"Fear they have, of the darkside taking the jedi. Resist the change they will, force others to act."

Jack said nothing as the two said their piece. Once they finished he gave his opinion," Why try and stop the leave in the first place." Windu s.h.i.+fted uncomfortably in his chair,"What do you mean by that. We have never forced any person to stay in the jedi order. In fact we have allowe... "

Jack put his hand up to stop the Master before he had gotten to deep into his speech."One you take children for their families at such a young age then teach them your flawed views on how a jedi should act. Now take that into consideration when you talk about what amounts to a broken person leaving the only home they know. How often does that truly happen, and when had it ever happened on a happy cause or event."

Both Masters sharply inhaled, they had never thought about the situation like that before. They themselves had been molded in to the jedi they were today based on that exact same system. If they had been put into a position where they did not agree with the way the temple was going yes they could leave, but where would they go. No of the jedi who had thought about leaving had any real place to go.

It was no wonder when most jedi left it had been under tragic circ.u.mstances. Windu stared at Jack,"What should we do then...its not like we can make up for all the things done to them, and most of the ones that want to leave are the jedi that do not strictly ahear to the practice of suppressing their emotions. In truth for the jedi that want to stay we can't allow these jedi to remain in the temple's care."

Jack looked at Yoda,"Do you believe the same Master Yoda?" Yoda only nodded, as much as it pained him he knew that the two jedi groups couldn't stay together it would cause too many problems that they could not afford to have at the moment.

Jack sighed,"....I supposed you can bring them here then...weather they stay or not will be up to them, however atlest here they can have a chance to start a new life or join my order of force users." The two jedi eyes grew big,"You have an order of force users! You never mentioned any of that before! We need to.."

Jack cut off Windu,"No. The way we teach our order is completely different then how you teach your jedi, and frankly based on how you both have decided to push out the jedi that do not adhere to your ideas. I don't want you in involved with my order. Oh and the reason you know nothing about it was because it was a recent thing so no need to get upset about."

Jack could see they want to speak more about this topic, but he was having no of it. They had been talking a little over three hours and he had many other issues to deal with before he could rest. Sitting their a debating with his order of force users should exist had never been on his list of things to worry about. Yoda had asked Jack about how Shaak Ti was doing on his way out. This had caused Jack to think about how it had been the fault of these two and the rest of the council. That Had caused her to leave in the first place.

Having his mood so disrupted Jack stood up and told the jedi he had to get back to work as they had long over used the time he had allowed for the meeting. Reluctantly both Jedi eventually left, and quite return to Jack's offices. Jack could tell he had particularly hurt Yoda by not answering his question but if the old jedi wanted to find out how Shaak Ti was he could always call her himself.

Grabbing his holo com Jack called Shaak Ti and her firgure came to life moments later," So I think am coming to you sooner rather than later we have much to talk about." Shaak Ti smiled broadly she didn't care so much that business was forcing Jack to early. She had only said that we had to come to her early so that's all that matter to her. Jack could tell what that glint in her eye meant and visibly gulped. He knew exactly what he was in for the moment he reached Kamino.

A few days after the meeting with the jedi Jack found himself entering the atmosphere on Kamino. The planet defense had been greatly boosted in like the movies where the Republic had left the planet all but defenseless save for a s.p.a.ce station and small defense fleet. Jack and his military advisers were not so naive to think that just because few knew of the planet did not mean if war broke out that it would not be targeted.

So to prepare the planet in case the war was ever brought her the Mandalorians had constructed a planetary s.h.i.+eld that would deploy in an emergency situation. The s.h.i.+eld has enough power to last for four days. Which would be more than enough time for a ma.s.sive fleet from New Mandlor to arrive and beat back any invaders.

This was not the only defensive device that was built in the s.p.a.ce. Long range sensors which could detect s.h.i.+ps three star systems away as well as a mine field had been added to the s.p.a.ce. Making Kaminoan a death trap for anyone to enter if they were not welcome.

Jack's s.h.i.+p found it's way to a landing pad near the one of the main structures on the water plant. Shaak Ti had already been alerted to his presence the moments he entered the system. So it came as no surprise when he saw her waiting near the entrance of the building by the pad with a toothy grin across her face.

Jack had made it 10 feet from his craft before she launched her self full force at him. Jack had to use the force to stop the Shaak Ti shaped missile from impacting him to hard. Some how he managed to stay standing as Shaak ti let all of her weight bear on to Jack in their embrace.

It was in this moment that Jack had come to love Shaak Ti. She in the beginning ran from all forms of emotional attachment. It was not until she left the order that she had slow opened up to facing all of her emotions. To Jack Shaak Ti acting on how she felt at the moment was the best version of herself, and the version he had come to love. Even if it was a bit childish at times.

On que as if she he was thinking something rude. As she was hugging Jack she pinched his side causing the hardened Mandalorian to yelp like a school girl. "What did I do to deserve that you bully." Shaak Ti narrow her eyes like a predator cat on earth. "You were thinking something rude, and do try and lie and say you weren't."

Jack sighed deeply before he simply picked her up princess carry and kissed her deeply. "You know you only get away the this things because you are cute. You do know that right?" This cause the girl to laugh at out loud as she quickly snuggled in Jack's embrace as he entered the building.

Though Jack knew he had things that need to be taken care of. They could wait the three or four hours it would take for him to pa.s.sive his lover. They had been away from each other for longer than either would have liked, but do to Sidious trying to plant spies on the planet they had no choice but to station a Master on the planet as well as a constant fleet in s.p.a.ce.

Shaak Ti volunteer for the first rotation as it would show that even the non Mandalorian jedi would do c.r.a.p jobs just like the rest. The gesture did not go un notice and it would help win over some sort now that the plant would be getting an influx of jedi that's to a decision of a few old jedi masters, but all of that could waiting until he was finished satisfying his lovers needs.
