Meeting on the space road of life

Flynn let loose a sigh of relief as he saw that they had exited hyper a fair distance away from the Hutt ship they had been following from Tatooine, while the access to the fast lane was nice, doing so by following so close to a Hutt ship was not without a bit of stress. The young kid from Tatooine, Kitster, was watching him work with fascination, and the kid also let loose a held breath as the Hutt ship ignored the cargo ship as they both were slotted into the Coruscant space traffic lanes. Flynn was starting to like the kid, as during the trip he had enjoyed asking the kids questions about the galaxy and things he had seen. One thing that he had shared that not only the kid was interested in, but the Captain as well was his stories of Jedi and force users, The kid was fascinated with them, the Captain though, he was nursing a real grudge against the one with the red blade that humiliated him on the desert planet. Flynn did not know much about the Jedi in the main part of the galaxy worked, but he did remember a bit of the Correlian Jedi, so he talked to them of that particular branch of force users.

Captain Aphab grinned as he took in the sight of the planet city, the gasps of awe from the passengers was music to his ears, the busy space around them as they slotted into the traffic lanes were such that the closest ships were easily identifiable by eye. This was fortunate as one of the passengers seemed to recognize one, Aphab looked down to see one of the kids point off and say that one of the ships was the one that the pilot of the lucky pod in his cargo hold took off of the desert world. Aphab called out for the passenger he was most familiar with, a moment later Kitster showed up to see what the Gammorian wanted. After confirming that the ship looked exactly the same, the Captain got the comms online and sent a hail to the shiny ship.

Obi-Wan was in the cockpit in one of the co-pilot seats as he was preparing to contact the Jedi temple on Coruscant when the ship received a hail from a nearby cargo ship. The young Jedi felt something in the force that answering the call could be important, so he called for his master to join him in the cockpit, and once both Jedi were there he answered the hail. The Gammorian on the screen as not familiar with ether of them, but when a kid popped into view speaking at a parsec a minute, the older Jedi was surprisingly shocked at recognizing the face as one of the ones that helped them on Tatooine. After talking back and forth the story of how the ex-slaves escaped the planet and had managed to catch up the the Jedis. Qui-Gon felt that getting the ex-slaves looked after, but in a way that would not make the news right away would be needed in their mission. They discussed this between themselves, when they hit on the idea of having the Ex-slaves be treated and processed at the temple, as they had medical facilities that would be easily able to handle them. The real problem they had though was who to get to escort young Anikin at the temple while they were escorting the Naboo Queen to the senate.

"Master, with the pilots going to be fixing that ship, and the queen and handmaidens going to the senate under our escort, who will help the ones on that cargo ship go to the temple and get medical help to make sure they are not sick?" Obi-Wan asked of the older Jedi.

"Well the only ones left are the Skywalkers and Binks, and of the Skywalkers Anikin is too young to be in charge of such a group." Qui-Gon mused in a teaching tone of voice, as if waiting for the student to figure out the obvious solution. At this point Jar Jar came into view in the hallway of the ship with a bucket on his head, banging into the walls trying to dislodge it, the clanging sounds echoing though the ship.

"Shmi?" Obi-Wan asked sheepishly asked as the answer became obvious.

"Shmi." Qui-Gon nodded solemnly as the obvious lesson seemed to sink in to his apprentice, that if you needed a responsible adult to take care of a group of people, then the tried and true responsible adult was the obvious choice.

Due to the delay in contacting the Jedi temple, they had time to land and drop off the Skywalkers and the Gungan, as the Senatorial landing pad they would have used was scheduled for some repair, seemed like the safety shield array was acting up and could possibly be disrupted by an ionizing pulse. The maintenance crew had been after the servicing for months it seemed, as they had to drop off people at the temple anyways it was no big deal and a detail easily forgotten.
