Obi-Wan’s comlink was activated when he woke the next day. Qui-Gon had contacted him at last. Afraid to use it in his room - he was still wary of surveillance - he took it to a corner of the gardens that was planted with wild tropical species. Under cover of the thick leaves of overhanging trees, he opened the communication line.

“Hello, Obi-Wan.” Qui-Gon’s voice sounded strained. Obi-Wan sensed something…

“You’re wounded, Master,” he said in concern.

“I’m healing now. I ran into some bandits,” Qui-Gon explained.

“But I found the hill people as well.”

“And Elan?”

“I found her,” Qui-Gon said. “My masked rescuer turned out to be the one I sought. But I haven’t had much success. She thinks the Queen is lying to further some plan of her own.”

“That could be true,” Obi-Wan said.

“And you?” Qui-Gon asked. “Have you discovered anything?”

“I think the Queen is being poisoned,” Obi-Wan said. Hurriedly, he explained his suspicions and his visit to the substance analysis lab.

Qui-Gon’s face grew grave. “This is very bad news,” he said.

“Who could it be?” Obi-Wan asked.

“Ask yourself who would benefit from her death,” Qui-Gon said. “If she dies, the elections could be suspended by her successor.”

“Beju!” Obi-Wan cried. “But would he poison his own mother?”
