Meditation became the key to finding other Jedi lost in the galaxy. Those that were more experienced and wise were able to conceal themselves from the Empire, which made it more difficult for Jupiter to locate them through the Force, however eventually she began to find traces of those once believed long lost. It gave her hope. The training of the younger generation continued on Typhon in secret, where the Jedi Masters and Knights guarded over the infants diligently as they continued to learn the ways of the Order.

Meanwhile, it was Jupiter's responsibility to bring others such as themselves to sanctuary and ensure that the Sith did not find them. It was difficult and sometimes took too long, but eventually, Jupiter would find them. "Stay with me Roo, we are entering dangerous territory from here on in." Jupiter warned as she guided her shuttle towards a planet under heavy Empire control, listening to Roo beep back at her nervously. "It will be alright, just stay alert. Hopefully, they will not even notice us." This was Jupiter being optimistic, however there was little other choice.

She could sense that there was someone hidden here, a Jedi of considerable strength, however Jupiter could not tell exactly who it was. Beginning her landing sequence, Jupiter landed in the heavily guarded space port where she immediately began to determined where the lookout points were located as well as the guard rotations, weapon status and the likelihood that a quick escape would be manageable. "Stay with the ship Roo, prepare for a quick take off." She warned before exiting, drawing up her hood.

Jupiter wore a completely new set of clothes to better blend in, no longer staying with her Jedi attire. Having abandoned her usual theme of grey, Jupiter wore earthy tones of browns and greens, simply dressed in a plain shirt with an upturned collar and larger sleeves that billowed softly as she walked along with the sweep of her cloak, the hood pulled over her face with a holster belt attached to her upper thigh where she carried a single blaster gun. Under her sleeves were a pair of specially designed bracers where she concealed her two lightsabers, the sleeves allowing her to easily draw them if necessary.

Leaving the space port after flashing a permit at the warden, Jupiter entered the city, following her senses. Clone troopers patrolled every street and she suspected that they were also searching for the Jedi that had drawn her here. There was a certain static energy to the air, a tenseness that would not shift and as she looked, the people whispered to one another, anxious and afraid. They knew that the occupation was because of something other than simply seizing control over their resources, they had heard the rumours.

Determined to find the Jedi before the troopers, Jupiter continued to sweep forwards. She could envision a warehouse, run down and abandoned yet she was certain that that was where she needed to begin her search, so she followed her instincts. As two troopers approached, Jupiter carefully slid out of their way, not making to hide as it would only draw attention to herself. In order to blend perfectly, she must conceal all intentions away from those observing her, keeping her emotions and thoughts to herself. Once the troopers had passed, however, Jupiter pressed forwards, heading towards the more industrial side of the city where she walked the streets and did not stop until she had found the warehouse. This was the place, she could sense a strong aura of the Force inside.

Waiting a moment to be certain that she had not been followed or was being watched, Jupiter entered the old warehouse, immediately seeing that it was a dangerous place that threatened to collapse at any moment. It was a good place to hide, however not for very long. Even as Jupiter walked inside one of the boards creaked, causing an echo which then made the very foundations shiver, dust becoming unsettled from where it collected above. Movement caught her eye and Jupiter instantly relaxed.

"It is alright, I am not here to hurt you." Jupiter spoke softly, lifting her hands up to signal that she did not intend to be a threat. "I am here to save you, little ones." She could sense them both clearly now, a youngling and a padawan, both fearful and very much exhausted from the long fight they had battled through these past few months just to simply survive. Pulling back her hood Jupiter revealed her features, hearing movement from above and she lifted her eyes, seeing a shape shifting among the shadows, trying to get a better look at the intruder. "I promise. My name is Master Tan-Jinn, I can take you to a place where you will be safe."

"We do not know anyone of that name and we do not know what you're talking about." A male voice called out defensively, earning a placatory smile from Jupiter who continued to hold her gloved hands up in surrender. "We're just orphans."

"I understand you are afraid, young ones, but I can sense your fears as clearly as I can sense where you are." She revealed before carefully lowering one hand down to point to a specific spot where the boy had spoken from. "Kale Jacinto, padawan learner and apprentice to Master Yimunoosa." Jupiter said, her eyes closed as she meditated, the image of the boy appearing in her mind. Broad shouldered, independent, very bold and questioning, yet protective of those weaker than him. Stern brown eyes and black hair braided down to his shoulders with his padawan braid longer than the rest and dyed blue. "And Erin Jacinto, your younger sister and youngling." Her other hand pointed upwards into the rafters, however in answer the younger girl gasped and stumbled backwards, immediately upsetting the balance of the fragile supports.

The floorboards cracked and broke underneath her, a sudden crashing sound rushing outward with a plume of dust as Erin gave a louder cry of fear, falling downwards through the floor on the upper level as her brother cried out her name. "Erin!" Without needing to think Jupiter lifted her hand and instantly Erin floated, the debris also slowing its descent around her and moving aside as Jupiter guided everything, maintaining control over the situation before finally she settled the youngling in front of her. No wonder the Force had led her here, there was not just one but two that desperately needed her protection.

Erin was thin and lanky, much unlike her brother though she had the same eyes and style hair, copper-caramel skin greasy and dirt stricken from their long days on the run. "Hello there." Jupiter greeted warmly, lowering herself down to her knees before Erin to meet her gaze. "There is no reason to be afraid, I am like you."

"Who are you? This is a trap, it must be, we aren't anybody! Leave my sister alone!" Kale declared as he inched out of his hiding space, however Jupiter made a calming motion with her hand and the weapon that he carried, his lightsaber, immediately flew from where he concealed it behind him to rush into Jupiter's awaiting hand.

"Simple scavengers do not carry such weapons." She reasoned however to further prove her honesty, Jupiter drew out her own lightsaber and showed it to them, revealing the orange blade. "Surely now you know who I am? I am quite famous for this blade, though I should not really reveal it here." Their faces grew lax in astonishment, staring at the lightsaber in wonder. Jupiter felt her heart go out to these poor young Jedi. They were starving and their clothes filthy, ripped and torn from where they had no doubt fought to escape the temple and then flee from Coruscant, ending up here. "Now do you believe me, younglings?"

"You're Master Jupiter, Jedi General of the one hundredth and twelfth battalion!" Kale immediately recognised, his jaw dropping before he hastily bowed, glancing across to his sister before giving her a quick tap to signal she should do the same. "Forgive us master, we have been running for several months now and we were beginning to lose all hope that anyone else had survived."

"Hush, you must remain quiet of such things, for you never know who might be listening." Jupiter murmured to them both, reaching out and drawing them to her. "Now I shall take you both away from here and bring you to a place of safety. But we cannot talk here, come with me. I shall protect you now." Standing up to her full height, Jupiter held out her hand and the children paused, glancing to one another. Kale, although the older and protective older brother, looked to his sister for her lead, not wanting to take her anywhere she did not want to go, however Erin could not take her eyes away from Jupiter.

She seemed to glow in the light of the pale sunbeams that entered the dark and dusky warehouse, which began to shudder around them. Prompted by the deep growling and rumbling of the warehouse, Erin hurriedly grabbed Jupiter's hand and allowed the Jedi Master to lead them forwards. The entrance was clear so Jupiter led them outside, however to remain as out of sight from the imperial troops as possible, Jupiter tucked them both close to her and drew her cloak around them, keeping them from sight. "Stay close to me, first we will find you food and a proper change of clothes."

"Yes master."

"And do not call me master out here, you must call me René so that I will not be so recognisable." Understanding the predicament, the children went silent. Erin gulped nervously, trying to feel brave however her tiny heart continued to hammer against her chest so she gripped onto Jupiter's hands more tightly for security. She was pleasantly surprised when Jupiter reassured her with a more secure grip, her hand seemingly engulfing Erin's as her entire hand could wrap around just one of Jupiter's fingers.

Knowing that her shuttle would be being watched closely, Jupiter instead took the children to a minor hotel where they could freshen up. "Here, I have spare clothes for you to change into. Use the facilities as you wish, we will be staying here for a little while." Jupiter instructed as she pulled out the supplies she had brought with her, laying them on the bed however Erin continued to attach herself to Jupiter, unwilling to move away from her. "It is alright little one, I am right here. Do you want help washing in the bath or are you able to manage on my own?" Jupiter's large and kind eyes drew Erin in as the woman smiled, reaching out and brushing a hand against her cheek.

"My sister hasn't talked since the attack. She saw a lot of her friends being cut down before my master and I rescued her." Kale informed her darkly, gripping his fists tightly as the anger and rage began to settle deep into his bones. "My master then sacrificed himself to save us, allowing us to escape through the warrens where we became lost in the underground before eventually managing to board a cargo ship in secret. We have been running ever since." Nodding her head, Jupiter looked back down to Erin before she placed a hand against the child's back and pulled her closer, tucking her in close to embrace her.

"You have both been very brave, little ones, however the nightmare is over now. Before long you will be away from harm and in a place where you will not be found again." Jupiter assured them both, rubbing calming circles into Erin's back as the girl remembered seeing her friends being shot down by the clone troopers who had been playing with them only moments beforehand. Tears swept to the surface and Erin began to cry softly before all at once letting go, weeping into Jupiter's shoulder as the older woman held her close. "I shall protect you."

Jupiter bathed Erin and washed her hair before then helping her to dry and change into the fresh civilian clothing that she had brought with her. "There, now you two look more like ordinary children." She teased them gently before rising to her feet and gestured to the bed. "Rest a while. There is food here for you already so help yourselves. Whilst I am gone, you must not leave this room. We will leave late tonight at the changing of the patrols to optimise our chances of escape."

"Why can't we just fly out of here?" Kale demanded to know, brow furrowing deeply. "If we're posing as civilians then the imperials will have no reason to stop us, will they?"

"They know that you are here, Kale." Jupiter explained as Erin hungrily began to devour food rations, cramming them into her mouth so Jupiter gently guided her to slow down and chew properly before swallowing. "They will be searching every single ship that leaves this planet to ensure that you are not attempting to escape. Although your connection to the Force is not strong enough to be noticeable because of your lack of training, the both of you together cause enough of a disturbance that has been noted by the Jedi hunters. Also, by ransacking the temple, the Empire have managed to attain a record of all possible live Jedi, from younglings all the way up to the Master rank. Your information will be stored there also as there was no proof of demise upon the attempt to purge the Jedi from the galaxy."

"Oh, right." Kale said, rubbing his head a little guiltily so Jupiter reached out and placed a hand upon his shoulder.

"Do not be concerned, Kale, I have already planned for this. We must simply bide our time and trust in the Force. I have an idea that will hopefully work, however we must be patient and wait for the opportune time." Jupiter could immediately sense that Kale did not like the thought of having to wait as he started to pace whilst Erin lounged happily upon the bed, curling up and tucking herself in to nap like a sleeping kitten. Satisfied that both were well taken care of and safe for the time being, Jupiter rose to her feet and quietly exited the room, glancing around before stealing away to make the preparations necessary and contact Roo to make certain that he was prepared to leave.
