It should have lifted Shaak’s spirits to detect so many different Force user signatures across the webbed network of the Force as it stretched across the galaxy. Granted not all of them belong to Jedi but there was enough out there to prove that the Jedi’s legacy hadn’t perished during the Purge. But there was no logical way of grouping the signatures together; not like she had been able to before the Purge, when the Jedi Council still existed. And it troubled Shaak that so many of the signatures she was now picking up belonged to those who were supposed to be dead, just like she was supposed to be too.
The Force obviously had a plan but it wasn’t interested in sharing any useful details with Shaak just yet. This led Shaak to the decision to finally leave the ruined remains of the Jedi Temple and search out one of the Force signatures that stood out the most to her. This particular signature was new to her but Shaak’s instincts told her this one was important to the fate of the galaxy.
Shaak did not have to travel far to find the one the signature belonged to. Reaching out through the Force did not tell Shaak any more than she already knew: this young one had a role to play if she decided to accept it. “Excuse me,” Shaak said as she approached the young woman. “I am looking for someone and I was wondering if you may be able to assist me.”
