When Konah left Lt Takayashi entered George's office. He stayed inside for 2 minutes and then he left.
-----------------------------------
Mat was in his quarters cleaning his lightsaber. He was the best lightsaber duelist in She'en Khalar. Except for the 3 Knights of course. But he never dueled with them... He then stood up and placed his lightsaber on his belt. He went up to the mirror to look at his face. A liitle longer blonde hair. Someone once said to him that he looks slmost like Anakin Skywalker. But that was long time ago. He remembered something and left his room...
...............................
Mat was walking down the corridor with two Silver Guards. The most elite fighters in She'en Khalar. They had lightsabers on their belts indicating that they were force users. Mat thought to himself: "Soon the battle will start. Master's orders were clear. He wanted to fight the Sith Lord himself. I must not let him fall." Mat then arrived at the Konahs' doors. He knocked and waited for her to open.
..................................
Meanwhile, Admiral Riker was on the bridge, positioning the fleet. He hoped that the gravity well generator from the cruiser "Kellon" would do the trick. They had to stop the Sith ship from escaping. "Wouldn't it be easier for them to just destroy that ship. Why must Master George fight that Sith Lord himself. But orders are orders. Just as he thought to go and sit on the captains chair pilot Adama called him
"Sir? I have a problem with a port stabilizer. It is not responding well."
"Dammit." Riker sounded angry, why must everything go bad just before the battle... "Lieutenant Takyashi! Tell Commander Riko to send an engineering team there ASAP."
Takayashi just nodded, and was all over comm already.
Riker then finally sat on his chair. Riko had just few minutes to repair that thing or they will fly into battle like drunk. He smiled a little at that thought, but then one female officer brought him a datapad. He took it saying thanks, and started to read it. It was about food delivery? WTF? He put that datapad away so he could read it later. Now he had more pressing matters to attend. He looked around the bridge, his eyes stopped at Georges office. He must not fall. We must stop these Sith without falling to the darkside. And he felt it sometimes whispering in George. But he was still holding it.
.......................................................
Riko in engine room was frowning while listening to orders from Lieutenant Takayashi. Damn port stabilizer. Now!? When Takayashi finished. He called up one of his officers.
"Ensign Kowalsky!" Kowalsky, a small bold guy jumped at those words and run towards Riko.
"Yes, Commander!" he saluted. But Riko was nervous, he didn't had time for saluting.
"I need you and your team to go and fix the port stabilizer. You have 10 minutes! Double time!" Riko wasn't harsh, but Kowalsky seemed to be afraid of Riko, which Riko didn't seem to mind. After all, everyone under his command were afraid of him. Kowalsky then run of to pick up the tools and his team, before he went out.
A young mechanic carrying a hydrospanner in his hand, aprroached Commander Riko saluting.
"The EPS conduit in sectio B-14 is repaired sir. It will hold out for a few days. But we will have to replace it after that." Man was dusty probably because repairing EPS was a messy work. Anyway Riko tapped the man on the shoulder and said: "Good work, John. We will make a fine officer out of you."
John seemed happy. But then he surprised Riko by asking: "Is there anything else I could do?"
Riko blinked "Well, you could go up and help Kowalsky repair the port stabilizer." It was enough for John. He didn't waste any second and he left the engine room.

(Master Kwei's Office)
George was looking through the window into space. He liked stars. Flashback...
He was on Ender with his wife Leina. She was pregnant. They were in their beautiful home deciding what name to give to their first child. Sonya if it was a girl and Boris if it was a boy. She smiled, and George kissed her on the cheek. Happier times.
George opened his eyes. he washed off a tear from his face and looked to his office desk. He kept a picture of Leina on it. She was dead. And the Sith must pay for it. He will kill them, one by one. He turned back and continued looking at the stars.
