When the invisible hand attacked coruscant they had no idea jocasta nu known vampire and psycho protector of the archives would hitch a ride in a trooper's fighter and kill the chancellor who reveals he's the Sith Lord on live holo vision, kill general grievous as well, and drag a befuddled vampiric former Jedi from the ship bound and gagged back to the archives. The Jedi council gets a migraine and vampire dooku is scared of his mate and what she plans to do to him.

“Again, I would very much like to apologize,” Obi-Wan’s was apologetic and he looked highly uncomfortable. Nobody could blame him, not even the highly irritated Council. Meanwhile, Anakin stood silent next to his former Master, knowing that it was better to remain silent in this matter.
“Blame you, we do not,” Yoda said, though he looked tired and much older than usual.
“Nobody could have known that Jocasta Nu would commit such a reckless and thoughtless act,” added Mace Windu, whose eyes were tightly shut and who was rubbing his temple. It was no wonder. It was not an everyday occasion that a well known and respected Jedi just hid herself on a transport - namely Obi-Wan’s and Anakin’s - to infiltrate the enemies’ ship.
Obi-Wan cleared his throat, looking at each of the other Council members. They all had a painful expression on their features. “Well, at least Anakin and I had been there to… we would have been there, had anything gone wrong.”
“You mean beside the obvious?” Anakin said aloud, before he could stop himself.
“Indeed,” Obi-Wan agreed and therefore covered the little slit up.
“Still,” Mace Windu groaned and he leaned back in his chair, “and to think that Chancellor Palpatine was the Sith Master all along.”
“The dark side blinded and deceived us all,” Plo Koon spoke wisely, it earned him approving nods and even some mumbling.
“It was… scary,” Anakin stated, he was part of the Council too after all. “Personally, I am glad she came along, otherwise I am not sure if Obi-Wan and I would not have fallen under the Sith Lord’s curse… especially me, since he had been influencing me for a long time now. Since his death… I have been able to see clearer and at this point I would like to apologize to everyone, but especially Obi-Wan, for my often disobedient and disrespectful behavior.” He stood straight, head held high, though his eyes were not looking at anything or anyone in particular.
“All is forgiven my old Padawan,” he laid a comforting hand on the taller man’s shoulder, squeezing lightly.
“Actually,” there was an evil glint in Mace Windu’s brown eyes. “I just thought of the perfect punishment for Knight Skywalker.”
Obi-Wan interrupted the dark skinned Jedi. “You are NOT making him do the paperwork.” His usually blue-green eyes were lightly turning orange, a clear sign that his vampire nature was showing and that it was not pleased with the way Mace’s thoughts were going.
“I agree, if anybody wants to know,” Anakin briefly cut in. It earned him a couple of amused looks.
“Now that we made it clear that Master Windu will NOT load his work on my former Padawan’s shoulders,” he leveled a warning glare to the Korun Master, “I would like to discuss what we do about Yan Dooku.”
He finally moved towards his seat, with Anakin quickly following his example. Now that they had given their report, they could sit.
“Secured, my former Padawan, is.”
“Indeed,” Shaak Ti spoke up, “I saw how Jocasta dragged a tied up and gagged Yan into her archives. I do not think she is going to release him anytime soon.”
“He IS her mate after all,” offered Obi-Wan.
“I do not think we have to do anything.” Ki-Adi-Mundi revealed his opinion.
“So… are you suggesting that we simply wait and see what will happen? And hope that Dooku’s fear of his angered mate will keep him in check?” Anakin just wanted to be sure.
the Council members exchanged a few glances, before Obi-Wan answered for all of them. “Yes.”
“Alright then,” he exclaimed and let himself fall back into comfortable cushions. He may be not one for patience, but he also had no desire of running into his own death. He would just leave the head archivist and her Sith prisoner to himself. It might be the best thing he could do. Besides, who was he to deny the Council?
