Nick looks at Cait and laughs. "That's funny Cousin. Really funny. Don't worry, it'll be visible soon once you get it done." He raises an eyebrow. "Lots of trees and water huh? Sounds like Bakura and Endor." He grins.
He then laughs. "I thought you'd like that one." He chuckles quietly. "Yep, that would be interesting to see, Colin scrambling about trying to find the real you."
He looks at Claire and punches her playfully on the left shoulder. "Oh you're really funny dear sister. Real funny." He then crosses his arms across his chest. "Yes, I do think you're ready. You've been ready for a while now."

Well I'm glad to hear that. Cait says with a smile.
Cait glances down at the mountain of paperwork. I'm thinking of naming it and then planting a flag on top of it when I climb to the top of it. She says joking.
She chuckles when she sees Claire glance at her brother when she says someone could take it off of Cait's hands. Now that's an idea. Maybe if I gave everyone a paper to do I would have no more paperwork. Then I could relax a minute.
Naw, I wouldn't have any takers. At least a bantha would be useful for something.
I do. And your master seems to agree. Cait looks at Nick. She then chuckles when he playfully punches his sister in arm.
I think we are in agreement then.
Nick do you want go through the padawan list and help Claire choose one? She hands him the list of padawans who still need a master.
To Nick before Claire comes in.
Cait chuckles. I thought so. I don't know Nick I think it might be eons before the desk appears again.
When he mentions the Clones driving Colin crazy and him chasing them. She starts laughing so hard she starts crying. I can just see it. Him running everywhere chasing Caits. She has another attack of the giggles.

++++ OFFICAL TRANSMISSION ++++
++++The Office of the Chief of State ++++ Greetings to the Jedi Council,
It is with deep sorrow I contact you, for a crisis is unfolding on Coruscant.
As you may be aware, the Senate has been deadlocked for weeks over passing the necessary resolutions for the budgets for the coming year, and the Federation is running at break-neck speed to a collapse if an agreement cannot be reached.
A solution was in sight in the leadership of the Castillan Senator Jaekaan Draavo. However that brings me to the point of this message. Senator Draavo is dead, he died early in the morning form an unknown disease that is rapidly spreading upon this planet. A number of deaths among the Senators or their staff are coming in. The Senate is in a panic, and it hit the news before it could be curtailed.
Even if a cure is found to this tragic disease before the numbers become significant, the damage it has done already is severe.
Aside from alerting the Jedi to this crisis, it is also my request that a senior member of the order could be sent to look into this. We have no evidence yet that this is an attack, but it seems too perfect of timing to be mere coincidence.
I and the Federation await your reply.++++ END OFFICIAL TRANSMISSION ++++ |

When Cait receives the message from the Chief of State on Courscant. She looks grim.
She is horrified at the amount of casualities.
She looks at Nick and says.
This is awful. We need to do something. Who should go? But it seems a little odd that this suddenly sprung up like that out of nowhere.

He is about to reply to Cait and take the Padawan list to give to Claire when he sees the transmission from the Galactic Alliance on Coruscant. His eyes widen slightly upon hearing it. "By the Force. Thousands could be dead within days." He says quietly.
He looks at Claire and then at Cait. "They want a senior member of the Council to go? I could do it if you think that is okay Cait. This must be stopped. If this is a virus and it gets off-world..." He sighs and shakes his head. "I don't even want to think what would happen to the rest of the Galaxy if this gets loose. Hopefully, the GA has quarantined Coruscant and has limited all traffic."

Cait nods in agreement.
Yes, they could.
I think that is a good idea. You are good at this sort of thing, Nick. You are better at doing that kind of research than most of the healers in the Order including me. She shudders at the thought of it getting off world.
A disaster is what it would be. Be very careful Nick. I want you make sure your immuninzations are up to date. No sense in taking any chances.
Take what equipment and personel you think would be able to help you in this.
I hope they have. In fact I will remind them to do that if they haven't already.
She then sends a message to the Chief of State advising him of this. And telling him that Master Nick Cousland will be coming to investigate the situation as soon as possible.

Nick smiles at the compliment Cait gives him. "Thanks Cait. I always try to do my best in the field of research." He sighs and shakes his head. "Cait, that's not true. I learned what I know from you. You were the best teacher anyone being a healer can have and you know it."
He nods his head. "Don't worry. I'll know what I'm doing, and I do believe my immunizations are good right now." He then glances sideways at Claire and grins slightly. "Hope you're ready for a mission sister. I'm taking you with me, and your new Padawan as well."
He then looks back at Cait. "I'll swing by the Infirmary and gather the necessary equipment and have it loaded onto my ship." He then nods his head. "Very good idea. We can't risk the chance of it getting off-world." He sighs. "We just started rebuilding after the Yuuzhan Vong and then this virus hits. I hope we can stop it before a major galaxy-wide outbreak occurs."
He then pauses a minute and looks directly at Cait. "I hate to say this, but I'd recommend putting Yavin IV on a lock-down until this is finished. Only Masters above may leave the planet. Limit the space-traffic. Just as a precautionary."

All the while Claire listens to Nick and Cait and watches the transmission, horrified at what she's hearing. She then looks at Nick and raises an eyebrow when he tells her that she's going with him. "Are you sure Nick? I mean, do you think I'm ready to handle a situation like this? Especially with a new Padawan learner?"
When she sees how serious he is, she nods her head. "Understood Nick. Now we just need to pick who my new Padawan is and then inform them first as well as time to prepare."

You're welcome Nick. And that you do.
Thank you Cousin, but I know my strengths and weaknesses. That type of lab work I'm not as good at as you are. I'm a healer that is what I'm good at. *blushes slightly at his compliement to her teaching* That's not hard when one has good students to teach. It makes one look good.
I know you do Nick. I'm just being a worry wart don't mind me.
Good. Let Jade know where you are going. Tell her she is in charge of the Infirmary until you get back. Also keep her and me updated on the situtation there. Let us know if you need anything while you are gone and we will send it to you.
I don't even want to think of that happening. We really didn't need this right now.
Cait sighs and rubs the back of her neck.
Then looks back up when he suggests the lock-down.
Yes, you are right we should. Will you arrange that before you leave? You might want to contact your parents and warn them as well.
To Claire. I want you to listen to your brother while you are on this mission. You are not to go off on your own unless he tells you to do so. Is that understood? You are to keep an eye on your padawan at all times. You are both there as support to your brother. He is in charge. Is that clear?

Nick nods his head. "Yes, I'll be sure to inform Jade of the situation and let her know about the Infirmary." He grins. "And I was planning on keeping you both informed of our progress anyways Cait. You know I always do...most of the time."
When she mentions him taking care of the lock-down he nods his head. "I'll just do that right now." He walks over to the intercom system on the wall and activates it.
Everywhere thoughout the Temple and surrounding grounds, Nick's voice is heard as he speaks. "Attention everyone. This is Master Nick Cousland speaking. Under the orders and authority of Grand Master Windancer, I am implementing a planet-wide lock-down. On Coruscant, a deadly virus has been unleashed and the planet is now under quarantine. To prevent risk of contamination, all ships are to be grounded with the exception of Masters. All incoming traffic will be deterred to another system until further notice and travel off-world will be limited until the situation has been handled. That is all."
He turns off the intercom and pulls out his datapad which is linked into the security network. He inputs several commands and the planet-wide shield is activated. He looks at Cait and nods his head. "All done. Lock-down is in effect as of now."
He then sends a personal message to Bakura warning them of the infection on Coruscant and informs them to be careful.

Cait then gets out her personal comm and contacts the padawan Kiimi Sollia to come to her office she is being assigned a master.
A few moments later Kiimi knocks on the door.
Come in Kiimi. Cait says.
Kiimi walks in. You wanted to see me Master Windancer?
Yes, Kiimi I did. I've assigned Jedi Claire Cousland to be your master. She will explain what she wants you to do next.
Claire?

She looks at Cait and nods her head. "Don't worry Grand Master. I'll support him with everything I've got. And yes, I know he'll be in charge. That's why he's the older brother." She grins slightly.
She then watches as Nick implements the planet-wide lock-down and nods her head. "That'll help. Hopefully we can beat this thing before it gets any worse than it already is."
She then looks towards the door when her new padawan arrives. "Kiimi huh? Nice to meet you. You will be coming with us to investigate the viurs on Coruscant."

Nick looks up when he sees Jade walk into the office. "Ah, there you are. We just received a transmission from the Chief of State of the Republic. Seems that a highly deadly virus has been set loose on Coruscant. Thousands are dead already and they've quarantined the planet. They're requesting aid from the Order to help assist them fight it. Cait is sending me and my sister and her padawan to help the Republic."
He sighs and crosses his arms. "So, I've put Yavin IV on lock-down to prevent anything from entering the planet and to keep us safe."

~She leans her hip against the table and taps the hilt to her saber as she listens.~
Want lots of people dead set a virus on Coruscant. What a nightmare.
~She takes a calming breath and runs a hand trough her deep red hair. Her green eyes are sad and worried.~
I felt the death but was not sure to as where.
~She looks back at Nick.~
Your going there?
~She looks at her pad.~
You have your bio suits packed I am sure. Send me what you can of the virus when you get there and I'll load into the med main frame and do my best to work on it. It is days like this I wish I was not a expert on Viruses. That and any day we tangle with the YV.
~Her smile is quick and then gone.~
Is there anything else you need from me?

Nick nods his head. "Yes, we've got our biosuits packed and on the ship already. I'll send you a sample of the virus once we get situated there."
He then looks at her. "Also, Cait told me to tell you that you're in charge of the Infirmary while I'm gone. I'll send word to you once we've arrived at Coruscant."
He then pauses a minute. "I wonder if this virus was Vong engineered. Well, we'll find out once we get there."
He shakes his head. "Nope, that's all for right now. I'll contact you if we need anything else."

~She listens and shudders~
Dear Verse Nick don't say that YV viruses are nasty.
~She leans back from the door and nods sadly.~
May the force be with you Nick.
~She touches his shoulder and heads out the office not sure what to do now.~

Hello Jade. We were just discussing that. I will let Nick explain.
Cait to Claire. Good. *She laughs* That is not why he is in charge. He's in charge because he is the senior Jedi and outranks you.
Kiimi to Claire. Nice to meet you too Master Cousland. Yes, ma'am. I'll go pack right now. Where shall I meet you?
Cait sits back and listens to Nick and Jade talk. When Jade leaves.
Goodbye Jade.
To Nick
Now that is settled. When are you leaving? And what can I help you with? If you want you can take one of the medical shuttles they are fully equipped for emergencies such as this.

Nick nods his head. "Don't worry Jade. We'll be safe. Trust me, I know what I'm doing."
He watches as she quietly leaves the office and then looks back at Cait. "Well, we'll leave as soon as we're ready, which won't be long." He nods his head. "Yeah, sounds good. We'll take one of the Order's medical ships. If you could get the equipment sent to the ship in the hangar bay, Claie and I will go pack and make our way there."
He looks at Claire and nods at the approval of her new padawan learner.

She nods her head. "Yes, of course Grand Master Windancer." She then looks at Kiimi. "Yes, go ahead and go pack and then meet us in the hangar bay. We'll depart after everything is loaded onto the medical ship."
She looks at Nick and waits for his orders.
