The Hidden Bloodline

Gala Pt 2

A/N: There are references in this chapter and Mera Bipressed is named in honor of the one who caused me to continue my own one-shot request and turn it into the book you are reading today.

Revana was currently going over her notes on the wreckage site, several Mandalorian historians had headed out that way to run further research on the ship without the supervision of the Separatists, they didn't want an incident with Mandalore by the way they were acting which was a good thing in a way. Revana had spent much of her time reviewing what she had seen and the others who made up her team. She had sent a section of her notes to Tarkin and had called her within an hour of sending a section "Ah, Captian what do I owe this pleasure?" she asked

"I find it remarkable that your notes are consistent with what you told the Senate, at first I had my doubts, but this section of your research paper is filling me with nostalgia; truly my dear you are a historian," Tarkin replied

"Thank you for your kind words Captian," she said, "I am waiting to hear back from the research teams,"

"I cannot wait to hear of what they have uncovered, you are truly a gift to the galaxy my dear," Tarkin said.

After the call ended Revana paused in her work to get dinner, Vaner was curled up on the couch when there was a knock on the door "It's open," she said.

It was Obi-Wan "Ah, Ori'vod, I didn't know you were coming," she said

"I should have called first, but the council sent me to come and get you about HK," he said.

Revana looked at Obi-Wan, "What did the ole terror do now?" she asked

"Attacked Jedi Master Pong Krell," Obi-Wan said.

Revana wouldn't lie, but something about Krell rubbed her the wrong way and she absolutely hated it. Revana also knew HK wouldn't attack anyone unless provoked "What did Krell do to set him off?" she asked finishing her food

"Krell claims he did nothing," Obi-Wan said.

Revana snorted "Obi, there isn't something right with Krell, and I don't trust him, he has tried to pick fights with even me," she pointed out, "HK won't attack unless provoked that is in his programming, in addition, he cannot attack someone without my orders to do so unless he felt as if a life other than his own was in danger,"

Obi-wan nodded at this "If you say so,"

Revana rolled her eyes and left the room with Obi-Wan taking her food with her and Vaner padding along behind them.

**********

Anakin couldn't believe that HK attacked Krell, but HK may have had a perfect reason too, Revana had updated all of HK's combat protocols with details about who was friendly and who wasn't HK also had something that could track a Sith if in close enough range which was scary considering HK semi-sentient. When Revana arrived she reported directly to the council chamber as well as him. Pong Krell's arm was currently in a bacta sling "Explained HK has," Yoda said

"If I may ask what happened?" Revana asked

"Your droid mistook a sparing session with my Padawan as hostile," Krell said

"Is this true HK?" Revana asked

"Explanation: Master, a padawan was injured, and their Meatbag of a master continued the spar, I merely intervened to prevent further injury to the padawan, as it is in my programming to do so," HK stated.

Revana pinched the bridge of her nose "Master Krell, I apologize for what has happened,"

"No need Lady Vizsla, HK merely protected my padawan learner, I didn't catch that she had been injured, she tends running from the med-bay," Krell said.
