Obi-Wan picked up no fear or anxiety in the many beings they passed on the way to their sleeping quarters. There were beings from across the galaxy, some wearing the same pale blue garments, some in tunics, some sporting a headdress or leggings from their home worlds. They appeared busy andcalm, and he could discern no evidence of thought control. Their gazes were clear and focused as they regarded Obi-Wan and Anakin with lively curiosity.

The Jedi’s quarters were small and spare, but with a shared small library, a cubicle for showering, and even a small cooler with fresh juices and snacks.

“Meals will be brought to you,” Deleta said. “Do not wander the ship alone.

If you wish a tour, one will be arranged for you shortly.”

“How can I contact Uni?” Obi-Wan asked.

“He will contact you shortly,” Deleta answered serenely, and left.

“So what do you think “shortly” means here on the cruiser?” Anakin grumbled. He lay back on his sleep-couch on his elbows, his expression sulky.“A year? More?”

“It’s been two days,” Obi-Wan said. “Each mission takes its own time.” He repeated the words automatically. Like Anakin, he, too, felt frustrated. Any additional requests he had made to speak to Uni or even to get a tour of the ship had met with the same “You will be contacted shortly.” When he and Anakin had ventured out on their own, they had been politely and firmly escorted back to their quarters and told they would be contacted …

“shortly.”

At first Obi-Wan had been reluctant to press the issue. They were guests of the BioCruiser, and he never liked to start out a mission by being insistent. But he had his limits, and he had reached them. Obi-Wan pressed the button on the built-in message console. As always, he was addressed by a pleasant, neutral voice.
