Although Anakin wasn't having any strange dreams, someone back home was.

Boba shifted around in his sleep, tossing and turning as he saw things beyond what he could have imagined on his own.

In his dream, Boba could see what looked like a lab on Kamino. Boba recognized this one in particular, having seen it at least once or twice when he was younger.

The girl from Bruno's vision was thrashing around as a couple of medical droids held her and seemed to be pulling her somewhere against her will.

"Please! Let me go!" the girl screamed, trying to escape. "Don't make me do this again!"

In this dream, the girl was wearing what looked like a hospital gown and was forced onto a table of some sort in a room with a bunch of machines with needles and wires.

An oxygen mask was placed on the girl's face as she was held down on the table.

"Now, Omega. Be a good girl so we can proceed." said a Kaminoan.

But the poor girl kept struggling and screamed in terror as a needle was brought out and the droids prepared to hook her up to the machines.

Boba sat up with a gasp.

"Omega?" Boba said with confusion. Judging by his dream, that girl was named Omega, but he didn't know for sure.

Boba didn't know why or how, but somehow he knew that girl was important and she needed help. The only problem was he didn't know how he would find her or how he would get to Kamino. The horses had been given strict orders not to teleport anywhere unless it was an emergency, and the kids were not to go anywhere without a grownup. And with Carmine at the Temple, Caroline party planning, Padme pregnant, and Qui-Gon protecting the family, there was no way he was going to get there, or find out who Omega was or how he could help her.

But what Boba didn't know then was that something much scarier was happening elsewhere.

Utapau...

Obi-Wan and Peppermint soon arrived on Utapau, where they met some of the locals and gave a polite bow.

"Greetings, young Jedi." said a local. A Pau'an "What brings you to our remote sanctuary?"

"Unfortunately, the war." said Obi-Wan.

"There's no war here, unless you brought it with you."

"Rest assured, we have no intent on bringing our war here." Peppermint said. "We're just searching for General Grievous."

"With your kind permission, we should like some fuel... and to use your city as a base as we search nearby systems for General Grievous."

The local spoke to some other beings in another language, and they went to Obi-Wan's ship, which had been modified so Peppermint could ride with him.

"They are here." said the Pau'an. "We are being held hostage."

Peppermint's ears shot up. "They?"

"They are watching us."

"What did you mean by 'they'? Is Grievous with an accomplice?" Peppermint then took out Lady Morpha's mugshot. "Someone who resembles her?"

"That is her. She is a monster."

"I understand." said Obi-Wan.

"Don't worry. We know of both these enemies. We'll help you." Peppermint added.

"Tenth level, thousands of battle droids." the Pau'an said.

"Tell your people to take shelter." said Obi-Wan.
