Summary: Months after the Rako Hardeen incident, the Council sends two of their best generals together on a mission meant to repair their damaged friendship.

As Plo Koon strides toward the Council chambers, Ahsoka jumps up from her seat to approach. Her commlink is clasped between her hands, and a fierce determination tightens her brow.  Plo Koon must resist the urge to slow his pace. This is not the first time the young Togruta has ambushed him before a Council meeting, but it is the first time she’s dared to step foot upon the lobby’s larmalstone floor. Her anxiety is escalating—and it seems that his previous indulgences have made things worse. “Master Plo,” she calls, “I really need to talk to you.” Though he opens his stance to her in a fond acknowledgment, Plo Koon continues toward the chamber doors. “We’ve discussed this before, Ahsoka. Master Kenobi and Knight Skywalker were sent on a covert operation. It is not unexpected for them to cease communications.” Ahsoka’s mouth presses into a frustrated line as she hurries to keep up. “But it’s been two weeks!” “That does not change my opinion. Two weeks is not an unusual amount of time.” “But Master Skywalker has never gone without talking to me for that long,” Ahsoka says. “Even in the middle of a campaign, he always makes sure to message me once a day—and Captain Rex, too! But he hasn’t messaged either of us. For two weeks!” Plo Koon stops. The thin, wavering note in Ahsoka’s voice has summoned a curl of anxiety to his chest. But Plo Koon is a practiced enough Jedi to recognize the difference between a worry of his mind and a warning in the Force. This is certainly the former; he has yet to sense evidence of the latter. It may, however, be an opportunity to teach Ahsoka the difference. In his silence, Ahsoka’s lower lip has started wobbling, and tears have sprung to her eyes. “Something’s just not right, Master,” she says. “You have to believe me.”
