quot;And what of Luke? Is Vader aware as to his true parentage?"

"Master Kenobi, it is good to hear from you again." The Senator greeted with a slight bow. "But I must admit that I am more than slightly surprised. I had not expected to hear from you again so soon."

"Apologies, Senator Organa." Kenobi greeted back with a nod of his head. "I understand that this call is more than unexpected, but unfortunately the situation has changed and I was forced to flee Tatooine with Luke and his Aunt and Uncle."

Bail composure faltered slightly. "What happened?"

"Vader came to Tatooine in an effort to remove any and all lingering ties that Anakin Skywalker had with the galaxy." Obi-Wan said with a shake of his head. He should've predicted such a move, but part of him still yearned for the possibility that his former friend wasn't lost completely. "We managed to prevent that, for the most part. But we were forced to flee Tatooine."

"No, thank the Force." Obi-Wan sighed. "But unfortunately, we can't rule out the possibility that he will eventually put it all together. Luke is strong. So strong that it's impossible that Vader hadn't noticed him. And with my presence so close to the child's, Vader will eventually put it together. And because of that, and I'm sorry to ask this of you, but I feel that it would be for the best that Leia comes with us as well."

On the holo, Bail stared at him blankly for a moment before sighing and shaking his head. "I'm sorry Master Kenobi. But that is impossible now." Bail said before holding up his hand to stop Obi-Wan from responding. "That isn't to say that I don't agree with you. In fact, if I could I would put my wife and daughter on a shuttle and send them to your location within the hour. But that is no longer an option. The Emperor, is his infinite 'wisdom', has expressed concerns about my well-being.He feels that since my family has had such long ties with the Order, that my family and I could be the main targets in a retribution strike. To that end, he has assigned personal guards to look after every member of my family. Even my extended family. And should any of us turn up missing, he's promised me that they will stop at nothing to make sure that I am reunited with my family." The senator looked at Obi-Wan trying to stress the hypocrisy of Palpatine's order.

Leaning back, Obi-Wan scratched at his beard. 'Thankfully Leia isn't particularly strong in the Force.' "I understand Senator Organa. And I apologize for backing you into such an awkward situation."

"Pay it no heed, Master Kenobi." Bail said, waving off his concern. "My wife and I both knew what we agreed to the moment we took young Leia into our home. But if I may ask, where will you be going now that Tatooine is no longer an option?"

Looking across the tent, Obi-Wan met Remus's eyes. The man stared back at him for a moment before shaking his head. "I'm afraid that for both of our sakes, Senator Organa, that that particular piece of information is better left unknown."
