The Call

Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.

« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »

When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.

Here goes nothing.

"Not as much as you'd think," Luke said, chuckling a little at her horrified expression. "He's a smart kid." The Master's expression became a little distant. "Pretty soon he'll be pulling me out of trouble rather than the other way around."

He laughed, passing off the worry he'd felt leading up to Jacen's fall. Ben had been his nephew's unofficial apprentice, and when it became apparent that Jacen was delving into darkness... well, that had been what led to Mara getting killed in the first place. But in the end it had been Ben who put it all together the right way. Fatherly pride welled up in him; Ben would be a great man one day. Hopefully Luke was home to see it happen.

"Planning on retiring?"

Mara was content to leave things light, skimming along the surface of this new information while she worked on being actually comfortable with it. It was helping her assimilate it. So long as they didn't dig into the details or concentrate on the parts that were painful.

"Not anytime soon, the Order still needs me. Someday though, I'll hand it off to someone else." Luke quieted, thinking about that future. Stability and peace--would he hand the Order off then? Or would it always be a constant struggle between the government the Jedi had sworn to protect and their own independence? What kind of legacy would they leave?
