EXT. SPACE ? KHARAM

The Quantum Pixie approaches the planet.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE ? COCKPIT

Drekka, Thenna, Kane and Ben are seated in the cockpit.

DREKKA
They do know we?re coming right?

The face of the Jedi Comm Officer appears on Drekka?s holopad.

JEDI COMM OFFICER
Welcome Quantum Pixie. We are transmitting the course through the ice belt now.

The holo fizzles and Drekka looks at one of his screens.

DREKKA
This better be right.

EXT. SPACE ? KHARAM ICE BELT

The Pixie darts and weaves through the beautifully complex ice belt.

EXT. KHARAM ? JEDI TEMPLE

The Pixie flies past the Temple and lowers itself down into the canyon below it.

EXT. KHARAM ? CANYON

The Pixie flies underneath one of the canyon waterfalls.

INT. KHARAM ? DOCKING BAY

Mara and Talja stand in the docking bay as the Pixie lands. The ramps hisses and lowers, and Kane and Ben appear with Artoo. As soon as they see Mara then run to her and embrace.

MARA
Thank goodness you?re all right.

Master Talja walks to Kane and touches his shoulder.

MASTER TALJA
It is good to see you, apprentice.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE ? LOUNGE

Drekka, Thenna and Minch begin to disembark, when Drekka sees Talja standing outside. He stops and turns, preventing Thenna from leaving,

DREKKA
I want you to stay here.

THENNA
What? Why?

DREKKA
Keep an eye on Minch.

MINCH
[What? I did nothing.]

THENNA
But dad, I?ve wanted to see -

DREKKA
Stay on the ship.

INT. KHARAM ? DOCKING BAY

Drekka leaves the ship and sees Talja standing there staring at him. Mara walks to him with Ben and Kane in tow.

MARA
I can?t thank you enough for bringing my sons back. Any thing we can do for you, just ask.

DREKKA
Just some fuel.

Drekka looks at Talja.

DREKKA (con?d)
I just want to get out of here as soon as possible.

MARA
Master Talja will be able to help you with whatever you wish.

Mara and the boys leave with Artoo. Drekka and Talja stare at each other for a moment.

MASTER TALJA
I never expected to see you again.

DREKKA
I?m only here to return some unwanted cargo.

MASTER TALJA
I sense my daughter is here. May I speak with her?

DREKKA
No.

MASTER TALJA
It?s the will of the Force that she?s here.

DREKKA
I don?t want to hear about the Force.

MASTER TALJA
At least tell her I miss her.

DREKKA
Do you?

MASTER TALJA
Don?t worry, I?ll get you off planet as soon as I can.

DREKKA
Good.

Drekka turns and begins to walk back to his ship.

MASTER TALJA
I?m sorry I had to leave you.

Talja walks up to Drekka and takes his hand.

DREKKA
You didn?t have to do anything.

MASTER TALJA
I had to do this for me.

DREKKA
Tell that to your daughter.

Drekka lets go of her hand and disappears inside the ship.

INT. KHARAM ? T-WING DOCKING BAY

In a second docking bay, Dal-Kon stands with a large amount of Jedi. Behind them are T-Wings ? long-range snubfighters.

MASTER DAL-KON
Finding Master Skywalker will be no easy task. With so little to go on, we will have to split up to cover the most ground. Master Skywalker is counting on all of us. May the Force be with you.

The Jedi?s run to their ships.

EXT. SPACE ? KHARAM

The fleet of T-Wings exits Kharam and enters hyperspace.

INT. JEDI TEMPLE ? CONTROL CENTER

Mara stands with her sons in the Jedi Control Center. Several Jedi monitor readouts. They watch the T-Wings enter hyperspace.
