The whole ship was asleep, until 6:30, when Elana woke from some very disturbing dreams, she got up, and felt as if she needed to clear her head. She got showered and dressed and left the ship. Such was her mental anguish that for a while she just wandered aimlessly, not even looking at her surroundings, unable to clear the dreams from her mind, once she had forced herself to think about something else she started to try and get herself orientated, she was already lost, after a couple of turns she started to get the feelings of familiarity, but nothing she could place. When she turned a corner she stopped dead, she recognised the street from her dream, and whats more she knew she’d been here before, before she lost her memory. She staggered down the street, and came to a garage, which was also in the dreams she had had that night. Gingerly she entered, instantly recalling how the garage was when she was there, her memory flashing with past scenes, she was nearly overwhelmed by the feelings and memories, but on she went as she felt she must, through the door from the dusty garage bay, to the living area. Suddenly she saw a woman, blond and of a similar age to her.
This woman once she sees her, points at her, in disbelief, she asks why she has come back, how she could come back after what she did. Of course Elana doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and certainly doesn’t know who the woman is. The woman continues to question her, and Elana protests that she doesn’t know, shortly the woman realises that Elana has lost her memory, and starts to explain what happened,

She, Elana Fancia (pronounced fan-chi-ah), was 3 years ago, involved in a tragic occurance. She was engaged to the womans brother, one Marcus G’karr, they had met two years previously (a total of 5 years), Dating for one and a half years. When Elana found out that Markus was breaking the laws by helping corrupt senators smuggle spice into the capital, by organising ships and pilots. Elana having always been an upright and lawful citizen, also hated the fact that the republic was crumbling. When she found out, she was shocked, and she argued for hours with him about it. When she threatend to report him, if he didn’t stop, his anger turned to rage and he lashed out at her, Elana meanwhile was just as angered by his attacking her that she retaliated. In one moment of rage, they fought, and then just as suddenly Elana was standing unbelieving over his limp body, she broke down and wept.
At this point Elanas memory was filling in the gaps, and she was seeing herself standing there above her fiance’s body, and then kneeling weeping over him. She remembered that that didn’t last, and that she had quickly left realising that she was a murderer, and this time as the sister, Kathree G’karr again asked her why she came back, she was to overcome with emotion, and tried to leave, Kathree tried to stop her but realised that it would not produce anything and let her go, and once again Elana Fancia was on the run, she saw police guards, and ran away from them, believing them to be after her. Shortly she ran into a dead end and broke down again to weep. Of the others John was first to wake, and he woke the others up, and noticed that Elana wasn’t there, both Ged and Galen got up, but Jarad stayed in bed a little while longer. John decided that he needed to do some upgrades, and replace some parts on the ship, but to do so he needed money to buy the parts. So he would have to get a job, Jarad once he had slept a bit more decided that he would go too. Ged was concerned that Elana might have forgotten about her appointment and decided that he would go and check that she was there and take her place if necessary. Galen whilst wanting to join them decided that he would stay in the ship to wait for Elana to come back there, and to protect the ship (from her if necessary if she’s gotten herself arrested or something). The three of them (John, Jarad and Galen) went to the administration building, Galen asking to see the Councillor, and John asking for employment. John was asked to wait before someone was free to talk to him, and Galen waited whilst the receptionist checked with the councillors secretary, who informed Galen that the appoinment wasn’t until 10am and he was an hour early. John and Jarad, went up to see the personnel officer, who was brisk and asked them what each wanted and could do, in turn, John having his interview first. After that they both had jobs which started on Monday, and were paid at the standard casual rate of 10 credits per hour. They then went back to the ship, by which time Elana had turned up, and gone straight into her room, and had refused to come out until Galen persuaded her to tell him what was wrong, and then he told her that it wasn’t that bad, and that they would look after her. Ged went into the meeting with the councilor, who looked as if he’d seen better days. Before the meeting started, they both watched the news bulletin announcement, which was a speech from Senator Palpatine, that basically said that he was going to become the Chairman of the Senate, with limited veto powers, that this was agreed by all of the Senate, and that as part of this, he would gradually phase out the influence and authority of the Jedis, and that he was forming a fast reation force to assist throughout the galaxy at trouble spots, and exercise the law. The meeting proceeded with the Councillor telling Ged his story of political collapse, which was basically that he met Palpatine, and asked him for assistance with a bill he was trying to pass, Palpatine offered his help, and invited him to a party, he went to the party, took advantage of the Organ Women, which were there for that purpose, and later back in his office, the Councillor Saimorr, received the equivalent of blackmail, where the payment was political help. Jailon Saimorr, was forced to become one of Palpatine’s councillors. There was little else he could tell Ged.
Ged returned with this information and John quickly went off and sent the information off to the academy via another internet café.

John was in the internet café just finishing off, and about to leave when a message came in, from the Mahler guild, which said that the jedis had felt Elana’s pain, and suggested that she shouldn’t feel bad, but that there was no way to avoid it, also she should try and help the others with her knowledge of Coruscant. They also suggested that John should check the records to find the outcome of the trial, whether there is a warrant for her arrest, her status on Coruscant and any other information on her. So John stayed a bit longer and found out that the case was closed and had been attributed to the local mass-murderer, who had roamed the coruscant streets for several months, and who had 11 deaths on his hands before his dead body was found with one of his late victims, killed by an assasin droid. He didn’t find any warrants or bounties on her head, and had to assume there were none. Elana’s status was that she was required for enquiries, which may well have been out of date since the case was closed. The other information he found was that she had an account with the Coruscant National Bank. He then tried to access her file in the Admin Central database, albeit an illegal action, but usually nothing happens, this time however he got a message saying that the file was inaccesible and his session on the system was thrown off, and his branching session was also spiked so that it shutdown.
John then tried to remember what he should do next, but he was so shocked at being cut off, he just sat there, for a while, when he did act, he sent another message to the Guild with this information as they had requested. Before remembering that he had to get out of there, fast! He left the café, and completely forgot about looking natural and started running. As a result he got lost, and had to get Elana to tell him which way to go, using the force. When he eventually returned it was late, and once he told everyone the information they all went to sleep. The next day (Friday) John and Elana went to the bank, whilst Ged, Galen and Jarad went to a bar to find out some information. When John and Elana got to the bank it was just opening, and they had to wait inside whilst someone was fetched to deal with them.
Just when the others were just about to enter a bar, Jarad caught sight of a blond haired woman that made him think that it was Illyana his old girlfriend, he ran to catch her up, and by some fluke it was her, when she eventually recognised him, there was however no hugging and great reunion, once they had got past the "What are you doing here?" bit, Jarad quickly asked her where her locket was, this again drew a blank. When she did remember it she didn’t have it on, and wasn’t certain of its wherabouts. Then she said that she had to dash as she was late for work, John asked to call her, and she told her where she worked.
Meanwhile Elana was seen by one of the bank’s staff, and was told her balance, a sum which was more than she had had to her name since the Jedi Academy, and before on Carida (which wasn’t difficult) She decided she would leave it there, for the time being, and was just about to leave when she was informed that she also had a safety deposit box, she couldn’t remember, she accepted the offer of checking its contents. Here she found some more cash, a datapad, a blaster, her ID card and a key card for a railway locker attached to a piece of paper, with a coded list, and a number written on it.
At the bar, Jarad was getting increasingly drunk, after having found the number for Illyana’s work, he was trying not to think what he was thinking: that Illyana just didn’t love him anymore, also he was trying to build the courage to phone her. Galen looked unsuccessfully for gambling, but found none, he made a few offers to start games but got no positive responses, he had given up and was chatting to a spacer who he had asked to start a game, when he mentioned that he was employed by a smuggling boss who was doing well and might need new smugglers with their own ships. The man said he would go and ask his boss if he would see Galen to give him a job, the news was positive and Galen went off to meet with the guy.
Elana decided she would leave straight for the railway station, however she had been some time, and by the time she had got down to the foyer, John was asleep. Elana wasn’t paying attention to this and expected him to follow if he wanted, she got straight on a monorail, to the railway station, on arrival she asked a guard to tell her where the lockers were, he pointed, and she went and found them, it took her only a few minutes to find the locker, guessing that it was the number on the piece of paper. She inserted the card and the door opened. The locker contained a change of clothes and various other useful equipment. The datapad had mentioned that she should contact someone who claimed to be a friend, but there was less space on the datapad than there should have been, there must be a secret file.
John woke up, and wondered where Elana had got to, he decided to try his comlink, when he got through to her, she asked him to come to the station, to have a look at something.
Back in the bar, Ged was bored with looking after the now very drunk Jarad, and started talking to some of the spacers instead, which left Jarad, with a clear view of the comphone, by some feat Jarad managed to cross the distance, lean against the bar, and hold the phone, and slot some credits in the slot, even more surprisingly he managed to type in all the right numbers for Gemtech (where Illyana said she worked). However when he got through to the receptionist, he could no longer think normally, he just bawled out Illyana’s full name, and went in to a pleading, nonsensical rant, about how she didn’t understand, he loved her, and had it all worked out, they were engaged, they were to be farmers. Of course he wasn’t that fluid, but that was the point he was trying to put across.
Galen meanwhile had gone to the smugglers headquarters, in the lower parts of Coruscant, he got in relatively smoothly, and handled the conversation cooly, he was to report back on Tuesday to take a cargo to Carida (a core world planet).
When John found Elana, she showed him 2 things, a datapad, with a hidden file which he found, but couldn’t open, and a large rifle type blaster, which she wanted him to dismantle for transit.
Elana then fiddled with the file and managed to open it, she then had to go off, to meet with someone out in the suburbs.
