RC, the Council quickly explains the situation to you.
This presents you with a difficult choice. You can either go to Jaglon Beta, where you may find out more about any threat that Derin may be facing but will be unable to protect him, or go to Damagran where you can protect him but will know nothing!
Both options have their ups and downs. You may NEED knowledge to protect him, but on the other hand he may need someone very soon!
Ah, hard is the life of a Jedi...
On the way to the Jedi Temple Lance sees Trorn outside the Jedi Council's room, meaning that the Council must be meeting with another Jedi Knight at the time.
"Trorn, do you know how long this is going to take till I can get in there to see my Uncle and the other Jedi?"

"Master Windu, I feel it would be best to accompany Master Gundark to Jaglon Beta at this time. I can not protect Derin from a threat we do not understand. If we find nothing then I can move on to Damagran with Oasis."
"It should not take us too much time to assess whether the threat is there or on Damagran."
Windu agrees with you, RC. He nods, indicating that you should proceed at your lesiure.
Trorn smiles benignly at you, Lance.
"I am sure Master Windu will make time to see you as soon as is appropriate, young Lance!
"And Phinney... from what I understand you will all be leaving the moment that Oasis' ship is prepared and he is ready to go! Time is very much of the essence..."
Windu looks ever so slightly disapproving of you, Lance...
"Young Lance," says Ki-Adi Mundi, "by now you must be aware of the catastrophe that has occurred in the Damagran Confederacy. We were sening a small diplomatic mission to the area, but after due consultation the Council has agreed that a show of strength by the Jedi would be an apt move at this time..."
"Go and speak to the Knight Oasis, Lance," said Windu. "Accompany him on his mission. You may decide in which way you will best serve the Council; you may accompany Oasis on his diplomatic function, Master Gundark as she investigates a vision she has had, or Cree as he provides protection for a threatened politician on Damagran itself.
"Go now! Time is against us... my Nephew...
And may the Force be with you."
Mod note
With all the players ready, we can finally get off Coruscant! Once everyone has got to Oasis' ship we will move the action to a plent far, far away...
"Yes Masters. I believe I will join Cree to serve as protection."
Young Lance nods to his elders then leaves the council room. He swiftly returns to his quarters to pack for the journey with Oasis and the other Jedi.
Lance reaches the hanger bay in no time at all.
"Hello, Oasis."
"It looks like I will be accompaning you and the other Knights to Damagran."

Saying goodvye to the likes of Trorn and Argentis, you finally leave the surface of the planet.
Clearing Coruscant space is always a humbling experience, as you wonder quite how the traffic controllers keep on top of such an enormous amount of space vehicles.
Soon enough, however, you are cleared to your hyperspace route. Before long the course calculations are finished. With a quick flash, your ship enters hyperspace, and the familiar blue swirl surrounds you.
(Oasis, it's your ship, so feel free to describe it)
