Now Bie-Jo will return to the temple and warn the others.

Back at the temple, the Jedi immediately could tell something was wrong that you were thinking. Itoetiw looks at you 2 (3 if Jira revealed she was there) and says "What's wrong now?".
Bie-Jo explains it to the group of Jedi, and some of them laugh and make comments such as, "Only HALF of a MOON? That's not even as powerful as the puny Death Star was!" and, "10 hours to fire... I can wait." Obviously not all of them believe it to be much of a threat.
"We must go," Itoetiw tells you.

"Well then we shall do so."

All (including Jira) of you go onto the ship, and start flying away from Yavin 4. When you get off the planet, you see no advanced technology ship, but you see a fleet of Star Destroyers heading this way. Looks like they bluffed, and tried to make you run. Itoetiw starts retreating from the ships as they start using tractor beams at the ship. None of them hit, but many of the other ships aren't as lucky. You arrive back on Coruscant where Bie-Jo and Deb were trained as Jedi. "Boss, the academy on Yavin 4 may not be doing good anymore," Itoetiw says.
200 XP each for surviving that mission. 350 each total.
"It's a shame... Why do they want that moon anyway?"
"How can you give such little consideration for the Jedi?"
"It's not that, it's just that we are losing so much power that it doesn't make much of a difference. Speaking of which, how are you doing in persuading Tatooine to get out of anarchy?"
"I'm working on it."
"Well, we need as many supporters as we can get as fast as we can... How about you get your... Padawans... to help you."
"Alright." You 3 and Itoetiw leave. "Now, I sort of promised that I would make Tatooine believe in Republic laws... and that's not working so well. Feel like helping?"

"Sounds great." Bie-Jo replied, smiling.

You go in the ship and fly to Tatooine. You follow Itoetiw to some rediulously tall building. "This is the building that controls the planet's people... except the few wild tuskens that still exist. If we manage to make them trust the Republic, we will be winning this war in no time. There is no elevator, so be ready to climb a lot of stairs... there are 894 stories... the tallest building that still stands in the known galaxy. We only need to go up 890, though." You start walking up the stairs.

Bie-Jo continues to walk up the stairs.

looks up as far as her eyes can go and climbs up too.

After about 300 stories up, you all are tired of walking up. Itoetiw says, "Well, it seemed like a lot less steps last time I started climbing... Maybe that's because there were hand rails. We can rest for a little bit and then continue. After about 5 minutes you start walking again. Eventually through several stops, you are at 890th floor. You continue following Itoetiw untill you get to a room decorated with what looks like paper and dirt, maybe a tusken head on a wall. There does not seem to be anyone in there.
"STATE YOUR BUSINESS," a voice that sounds like a poorly made droid talking through poorly made speakers says. Itoetiw looks confused.

"We are here to help make you believe in Republic laws."

"Oh, not you again! Didn't we teach you that we're happy enough without your laws! Will we have talk for a few hours and then drop you in the pit again, or will you just go?" the voice says.
"That won't work because I won't stand on that door again," Itoetiw says, and points at an obvious trap door.
"Okay, fine, we'll "reason" with you... again... just let me out of this crappy excuse for a chair." He continues to mutter as you wait.
"That's odd, I thought that there would be turrets mounted on the wall... oh well."
A short, slightly fat human man walks out of a curtain, and into the room. "Alright, tell us the crap again."
"Well, you see, you need..." Itoetiw continues talking as though he had practiced these lines many times before. The short man continuously says rude things about the "crap".
"If we agree and we don't like it, what will you do for us?"
"We will willingly leave."
"If you earn my trust, maybe I will. Go on, try to say something that might make me agree."

"If you accept our laws, we will provide you protection from the Empire and the Black Sun Pirates."

"Hah! Most of the people on this planet are loyal to the Pirates!... Although the Empire is getting rather annoying... But still, my reasoning is the same: Laws will turn to revolution. I'm mostly alright with the Republic, but I REALLY don't want the same fate as the last man to run this planet... Poisoned, beaten, shot in every extremity, drowned, hung, cremated, and finally put in a jar attached to a rope tied to an autopiloted ship going high speed into a sandcrawler. Accepting your laws is absolute suicide!" the man said, sounding like he practiced those words.
"Exactly what he said last time," Itoetiw commented. "I told him that overall only 12% of everyone on this planet supports the Black Sun Pirates, but he plugged his ears being very childish about it..."

"You will have the same fate of the last man to run this planet if you do not accept our laws. He didn't and look at him. Anyway, you cannot deny the Empire would overrun this planet if they decided to attack."

"If that comment of fate was a threat, go jump off the stairs right now. The Empire has tried to overrun the planet before, and they barely defeated the tuskens, but I do see your point. Blaster, arrow, lead for it? I'll get your ship and all your possessions if you lose," The man says.
"He cheats," Itoetiw says. "Some kind of drug."

"Plus, it's not even a real game... he made it up and bends the rules," Itoetiw said.

"Ah, I see. Do you know of any game that we can make our own rules too?"

Itoetiw thinks for a moment. "I suppose so... but it has to have nothing to do with the thoughts of your opponent."
"Are you guys plotting something over there?" the man asked. "I wonder how long it would take security to get here... I'll find out," The man walks over to the desk in the room and presses a button. "Don't worry, the guards are unarmed, and I can send them away."

"Alright," said Bie-Jo, ignoring the call for security, "how 'bout we play a game where you ask me five questions about an object I'm thinking of, I'll answer the questions to the best of my ability, and, if you guess what it is, the Republic will leave you alone. If you are wrong, you will agree to follow Republic laws."

"I doubt he'll let you off the hook that easy..." Jira murmured.
