The forest was thick with vegetation as Jeff Fellog made his way closer to the Jedi base. Garith followed in his footsteps, careful to minimize any traces of the trail they were leaving in their wake. The Jedi bas had been in place for only a few months and the team had taken extreme measures to keep its location a secret.
Jeff and Garith made one final turn just past the mossy redwood. "Do you think we were followed?" Garith asked, unsure of his own ability to conceal his tracks.
"Only time will tell," Jeff replied. He was the older of the two travelers and an experienced Jedi Master. Jeff had trained along with Garith's father, Yoda back in the days when the Jedi base had been located in the dark swampy region of Garador. The reason they were in the forest was to collect the black dust of the bad troopers. One of the other team members, Jedi Master Carathorn, had discovered a small scouting team of bad troopers on the edge of the forest less than 24 hours ago. Jeff and Garith had secretly attacked the team of troopers and taken some of their black dust. Now the two Jedis were on their way back, being extremely careful not to give away the location of their base.
"Do you think Carathorn will be able to use the black dust to learn their secrets?" young Garith asked.
"That's his plan," Jeff Fellog replied ducking under a small branch. The ultimate goal of their mission had been to retrieve the black dust from the bad troopers so that their leader could analyze it and determine what they were made from. This would allow them to develop a weapon that could easily wipe out their entire enemy army.
