Season 2 Episode 7

"The padawans are secured and heading back to the Venator." Drake informed Master Unduli as he stepped off one of the LAAT's. She was standing at the edge of a cliff, overlooking the camp below.

"You must think of me differently now, with what happened with the padawans." Master Unduli didn't turn to look at him.

"Not at all." Drake stood next to her and folded his hands behind his back. "You always have been a wise Jedi. Wiser than me."

"I won't argue with you on that one." Master Unduli smiled. Drake smiled back. "I suppose you didn't come up here for a chat. I assume no sign of Poggle then?"

He chuckled. "No. We have clone squadrons spread out all over the area but no hits yet."

"I'll go out and find some clue as to where he went." Master Unduli started walking forward.

Drake held a hand out to her. "Luminara I must protest-"

"Keep protesting then." She turned to him. She stopped in front of a speeder. "Poggle has too much information about the Separatists to let him get away."

"As wise as you are, you are just as stubborn." Drake commented.

Master Unduli looked at him and smiled. "A trait I seemed to have picked up from you, Drake." She sped off and Drake turned around, he was shaking his head but chuckling to himself.

Drake climbed on board one of the landed Venator's. There was a familiar presence on board and he walked into the bridge. A Cerean man was looking at a holomap.

"Master Mundi, I didn't expect to see you up and about so soon." Drake said. "Kenobi told me about the taxing efforts it took to take back the planet."

"After enough time in the bacta tank, one longs for the mundane comfort of star charts." Master Mundi said.

"I won't disagree with you there." Drake bowed his head. The two of them turned to the window. "But you have to admit they work though. Your wound looks almost healed."

"I wish I could say the same for most of my men." He said.

"Then let's finally crush these bugs so that way we don't have to come back here for a third time." Drake stated. "Being here twice is enough for me." They turned away from the window, a map appeared in front of them. "Poggle's forces seem to have come from the Northern Hemisphere."

"And where was Master Unduli's last contact made from?" Master Mundi asked.

Drake pointed. "This region farther to the west, but there is nothing out there according to our latest intel." There was a beeping and the Jedi Masters looked over. "Speaking of her." They walked over and the master appeared in front of them. "What did you find?"

"It appears to be a munitions container of some kind." She told them.

"It could just be debris." Master Mundi said.

"I don't think so." Master Unduli said. "There was no battle in this area."

"It looks like Poggle was on a direct course, 11 marks 72, that way." They heard the clone, Buzz inform her.

"Headed directly for the Progate Temple." She stated.

"That makes no sense." Master Mundi said. "Nothing in the temple could have survived the munitions we used in the first wave of our attack. Why would he risk exposure to go there?"

"I'm not yet sure." Master Unduli said. "Perhaps he doesn't realize the extent to which we cleared that area."

"Master Luminara." Skywalker said as he strolled over to them. "I'm tracking a sandstorm that's heading your way."
