Upon hearing about the strange events that had occurred on Kashmir, the Jedi Council postponed the meeting with the Kashmiris indefinitely. They wanted to find out as much about this rogue Jedi as soon as possible.
Having arrived on Coruscant, the prisoner was first sent to the med bay. Obi-Wan and Anakin were in Yoda's office informing the latter as well as Mace Windu about the bizarre happenings that had transpired hours ago.
"Strange it is." Yoda muttered with a thoughtful expression on his wizened face. "Never seen this young fellow before, I have."
"Neither have I." Windu said with his arms crossed and a serious look on his clean-shaved face which always seemed to be there regardless of the situation.
"Upon entering the Jedi Temple," Obi-Wan informed his fellow Council members, "we had the assailant scanned and there was no match found in our database."
The four fell silent for a few minutes until Anakin broke the quiet. "But why would a Jedi attack a fellow Jedi?"
As if answering the young man's question, a hologram of a medical droid appeared on Mace's wristpad."The patient is stable and in healthy condition. We also found no trace of intoxicants that could have led to him involuntarily attacking General Skywalker."
Mace nodded and cut off the live transmission. "I think it's best we visit the patient in person."
The four walked out of Yoda's quarters.
"You can move along, General Skywalker." Mace told him as soon as the door automatically closed behind them. "It's best that matters like these are only attended by members of the Council."
Anakin opened his mouth to protest but closed it as soon as he saw Senator Padme Amidala hiding in a corner and motioning the Jedi Knight towards her.
He waited until the rest of the Jedi were gone and then walked towards his beloved.
"What are you doing here all by yourself?" Anakin said with a surprised but pleased look on his face. "And better yet, how are you here, alone?"
Padme grinned mischievously. "I have a few tricks up my sleeve. But I'm afraid they (her associates) will catch up to me soon."
"I'm guessing you're not here to just say hello?" Anakin was painfully resisting the urge to embrace Padme in his arms.
"Sadly, no." Padme's grin spread wider and wider. "Listen. I got a pass to vacation on Luther."
Anakin raised an eyebrow. "Wow. They don't just let anyone in there."
"Exactly. I have an old friend who invited me to enjoy the restaurants, spas, you name it." She came closer to her husband and lowered her voice. "The people there mind their own business. No politics. And the Senate has requested I take a bodyguard." She winked.
"So I guess this'll be our second honeymoon." Anakin whispered while keeping an eye on the influx and outflux of people in the hallway to see if anyone was spying on their conversation. "It will be fun to spend a whole day together."
"Three days." The Senator from Naboo corrected him.

The unidentified assailant was locked behind an electric field and had his back against the wall of an otherwise unoccupied room. Due to the electric field being emitted a bit upwards, his feet were many inches above ground level. If the wall wasn't present it would look as if he were dangling in mid-air.
The three Jedi Council members informed the stranger of what had occurred hours ago. They told him that the second red dot was an escape pod (white colored with the screen-door having been tinted purple). They also told him that as a parachute was found near his body, it was most likely he had been ejected from that same pod.
