his language.
A woman with really, really short hair appeared beside him. "All

Rayna was confused and didn't know what to say. She looked over the

with mousy hair and glasses.
"Qui-Gon!" she cried. She ran to him.
"Hello," he said to her. He made some kind of gesture.
"Daniel."
"Qui-Gon?" she asked.
He understood. "No." He pointed at himself.
"Daniel."
Rayna was disappointed but repeated, "Daniel." She pointed
at herself. "Rayna."
"Rayna," Daniel repeated.
The older guy said, "Recognize the lingo yet, Doc?"
"Sounds familiar. I think it's close to Arabic or something.
Rayna's just her name, I think it means something like 'chosen
one.'"
Rayna was only half listening to him right now. She saw a wonderous
site ahead of them. It was a sculture of a huge circle with amazing
carvings. What was it?
Someone touched her forehead. She looked up and saw a man, dark as

strange presence inside him. The Force inside her told her he had
some kind of slug in his stomach which that presence was coming from.
