Giba who gives us the orders. And he deceived us."

Qui-Gon had to talk to Obi-Wan. Giba had to be stopped. If he was willing to destroy the hill people to kill Elan, he was no doubt engineering some sort of takeover of the government. Once again, Obi-Wan did not answer his call. Now Qui-Gon was truly worried. Something was wrong. His Padawan knew the importance of keeping in touch.

Suddenly, Qui-Gon felt a disturbance in the Force, a ripple of distress. It could only be from Obi-Wan. He must return to Galu immediately.

He searched for Elan, finally locating her as she was leaving the children's dome. He quickly told her that Giba had been behind the attack.

“What is it to me?” she asked, avoiding his gaze.

“This attack was planned in order to destroy you,” Qui-Gon said. "If he had to destroy your people, he would do it. Doesn't that

tell you how desperate he is? You will not be safe until Gala elects a

governor. And that governor will no doubt be under his control, so you

will not be safe even then. Giba will go to any lengths to get what he wants. We think he is poisoning Queen Veda."

Elan paled. Qui-Gon's belief in her surged again. She looked shaken. “I told you, the Queen is nothing to me,” she murmured.

“I know you lied about your mother,” Qui-Gon said quietly. “She worked at the palace. Can't you admit the possibility that the Queen is telling the truth? I fear she is being punished because she shared that truth with me, and with you.” Elan turned her face away. She stared at the trees.

“Gala will fall without you,” he said. “I must return. Come with me. Take a stand.”

Elan's eyes were stormy as she turned back to face him. “I will not be a princess,” she warned.

“Nor should you be,” Qui-Gon replied. “Elan is enough.”

He couldn't feel his feet. Obi-Wan slipped off his boots and rubbed them to restore circulation. He had been locked inside the freezer for hours now. He had kept walking continuously in order to keep warm. He had called on the Force and visualized it as heat as well as light.

He slipped his boots back on. He reached into the inner pocket of his tunic for the river stone Qui-Gon had given him on his thirteenth birthday, when he had officially become his Padawan.

The stone felt warm and he rubbed it between his palms.

He knew he was growing exhausted. He could not keep walking forever. He closed his eyes, sending a Force-amplified message to Qui- Gon. I am in trouble, Master. Come back.

What was Deca Brun planning? Did he realize that he was in league with a corrupt corporation that would plunder his planet? Did he know how evil Xanatos truly was?

Obi-Wan's biggest worry was that Deca would contact Xanatos and tell him he had a Jedi locked in his freezer. Once Xanatos heard Obi- Wan's name, he would know that Qui-Gon was near.
