Marcus gripped his Minbari fighting pike tightly as he strode hurriedly through the resort. Somewhere in this place Tonks was a prisoner, and Marcus was willing to bet she wasn't happy about it. As he raced to find her, he wondered to himself why he was in such a hurry, since it always seemed as though her magic made her more capable than he. Something about the way she had screamed, though, had sunk deep into Marcus. He knew that she would not have screamed that way if she had had any confidence in her own ability to repel her attackers.

That morning, the Ranger had been meditating on a bluff overlooking the resort. In the early light the ruddy earth had smelled good, and his mind had been quite clear when the shriek of his abducted friend had come up to him on the morning breeze. His calm state shattered, Marcus had leapt to his feet and raced down through the vineyard. The voice had sounded like it was coming from the vicinity of the dorms, so he ran there first. Finding no trace of either the witch or a struggle, he had wracked his brain attempting to deduce whither she might have been taken. Not coming up with anything obvious, he had realized that all his guesses came to the same end. He couldn't figure out where she was unless he figured out who had taken her. Since he had had no clues to the solution of either mystery, Marcus had decided the only thing to do was to search the entire resort. If nothing else, he was likely to find both Tonks and her abductor in the same place.

So it was that the Ranger found himself rushing about madly, desperately opening doors and crossing rooms. He considered it unlikely that the kidnapper's hideout would be in the wilderness beyond the resort's environs; therefore, the first place to look was in the resort buildings themselves. He had already been to the dining hall and the pool with no luck.

Troubling dreams had interrupted his sleep until Anakin finally just gave in to the inevitable and got out of bed. There was a disturbance in the Force…he felt it all around him…as a Jedi Knight, he needed to be out there identifying and fixing the problem. First he would have a hot shower and a mug of this beverage they call ‘coffee’.

As he was in the shower, enjoying the feel of the heated water cascading over his body, Anakin sensed…felt a great evil…with ties to several lesser evils…he knit his brow in concentration, trying to make sense of it…he felt the anguish of victims....nothing specific enough to be identifiable though and this frustrated him…and it was gone. “DAMN!”, he growled, banging the shower wall. The young Jedi was angry that he had such little control over this power of his…it only served to prove that Master Obi Wan was right. He did need more training before calling himself a master…then again, how many of the others had the gift of prophesy?

Drying, dressing and grabbing his light saber, Anakin left his room and headed out into the hall. He would try to open himself to the Force to see if he could detect anything.

This was when he caught sight of a man in some sort of uniform, rushing about the halls…he carried a fighting staff and had a noble look about him. Anakin surmised he must be some form of law enforcement officer…Good, there are others on the job!. Hurrying towards the man Anakin called, “Excuse me, sir! Excuse me! If you are a Law Officer, I, too, have sensed some great evil going on here. I am Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, and you can count on me for assistance”.
