The room where the machine had been just minutes ago was now nearly empty. There were a few things still scattered across the floor near the large window. Both men tried to pry the window open until they were out of breath. Knowing it wouldn't budge, but having no other option but to try.
“She's dead,” Obi-Wan said softly, resigning himself to the inevitable.
“She's already dead! That's the problem!” Rendain pulled at his thick black hair, which was getting thinner by the hour.
“No... Meleana, she's dead. That machine was our only chance of fixing what happened to her on Korriban.”
“It's not gone, it's just outside. We just have to get outside. We just have to kill that... re-kill that undead Sith, and get outside.”
Obi-Wan nodded, and tried to pull his thoughts away from the worst case scenario. “We should get back to the others.”
“I doubt Mel will be there. She doesn't seem to keen on group activities right now.”
“Right, well you should keep her company.”
Rendain chuckled and shook his head, “I'm the only one here with any real world skills. I hardly think two Jedi are better than one in this debate. You watch her. There's nothing you'll think up that Windu won't.”
Obi-Wan wasn't too pleased with being dismissed, or the hive mentality Rendain was projecting on him. “You don't think much of the Jedi.”
“The feeling is mutual. Trust me,” Rendain walked out of the room, “You're going downstairs,” he called back.

Meleana was in the kitchen staring at the reflection of the woman behind her in a half empty bottle of wine.
“You having fun watching me?” She asked taking another swig from the bottle. “This a big deal for you? Watching the Mistresses new body?” Meleana turned around, angry that the spirit hadn't answered her. “You're first chance to talk in how long, and you ignore me?” Meleana chugged the rest of the bottle and threw it at the spirit. It smashed to pieces on the wall behind the figure. “Screw you! You ethereal pain in the ass! Screw all of you! And tell your Mistress her new liver is shot, would you? You... I'm out of insults!”
Meleana stood up and went back to the liquor cabinet. She never did make any sandwiches. She pulled out the first bottle she could find and immediately started in on it.
Obi-Wan stopped at the foot of the stairs and took in the sight of broken glass and the bottoms-up bottle in Meleana's hands.
She swore when she was done drinking, “Even the good stuff is awful... you look like you know whats going on.”
Obi-Wan stitched his brow, unsure of what Meleana was getting at. “What?”
“Like,” she began a poor imitation of his accent, “Oh force, seems I've lost that damned machine... guess we're all going to die. I had a bad feeling about this!” She dropped her accent, “Now you'll probably cut someone's hand off because you're upset! Just all the time, with you and the hands! What do you have against hands? Not everyone can afford a replacement you know!” As she finished her rant Obi-Wan came up to her and pulled the bottle from her slack grasp.
“Did you eat anything?” He asked placing the bottle on the counter.
“The machines gone. Isn't it?”
He nodded.
She looked down at the floor and tried to keep her breathing steady. It was grasping at straws to hope they'd figure out how to reverse engineer an ancient machine none of them knew a thing about. Now she was completely out of options.
“Why me? I'm not the strongest, or the fastest, or the best at anything.”
“Have you spoken to her? The Sith?” He asked after a moment of silence.
Meleana nodded, “She'll kill everyone if I don't give myself over willingly by tomorrow night.”
“She'll have to. No one here will let you die, or let a Sith loose on the galaxy without a fight.”
“I won't let her.”
“You think she'll just let us all go? No. We will figure something out. We will find a way out of here. The machine may still be working, she pushed it out the window-”
“Its the fourth floor,” Meleana shook her head, “The one on Korriban is destroyed.”
“There must be a record of how she made them, somewhere in here. We'll build a new one.”
“This is so stupid. How did I get mixed up in this! This sort of thing doesn't happen!” Meleana snatched the bottle back up and took another drink before Obi-Wan took it away again.
“Anyway,” He pulled her into his chest and hugged her, “We have until tomorrow night to worry about all of that. There are four people who care very much for you upstairs working on this right now. And that leaves you and I to enjoy the evening however we'd like. And I won't have you passing out early on me.”
“I can't have sex with her watching.”
Meleana stared at the ghost a few feet from them. Obi-Wan's eyes followed hers, but he saw nothing. Meleana started thinking, about her wounds that wouldn't heal, and the fact that she could now see the dead, and an idea popped into her head. She advanced towards the woman, who didn't even flinch at her approach and swung at her with all her might. To her delight her fist collided with something solid. The ghost staggered back stunned by Meleana's attack. Before she could react Meleana kicked up into her gut. Before she could feel her body collide with the spirit again she was out cold.
“What are you doing?” The Sith's cold voice demanded.
“Exactly what it looks like, trying to beat the undead back to death.”
The Sith rolled her eyes. “It won't work.”
“Well it makes me feel better. And if it won't work why the sudden alarm? Why drag me back here? I'm sure you have more than enough lackeys to last you until tomorrow night.
“That isn't the point! You've already disrupted things enough here! I won't have you bludgeoning the help!”
Meleana sized the Sith up. There was something she didn't want her to know. She had to gain power from the souls she had trapped here somehow. If Meleana was dead enough to hurt them, she was willing to bet she was dead enough to draw that same power.
“It won't happen again,” She said with a smile.
“See that it doesn't.”

Meleana came to in Obi-Wan's arms. The spirit gave her a snotty smile and continued to stare. Meleana looked from her back to Obi-Wan and nodded that she was alright. She remembered how good touching him made her feel when she'd first come to on her ship. It had only happened with him, but he was the only one who was always open to her.
“We need to meditate, and I need to do something. It might feel a little strange.”
Obi-Wan looked a bit taken aback, but finally nodded and sat up. They sat cross legged facing each other and Meleana took his hands in hers.
“If you start to feel something, try closing yourself off to me.”
“Alright.”
Meleana focused on the other life force in the room. She still couldn't sense the spirit. She'd need to work on that if this worked. She focused herself on Obi-Wan's energy until she felt one with it. It didn't take long with him. Then she tried pulling it to her, calling it the way she would an object with the force, but mentally. She let out an airy gasp when she felt warmth start to flood from his hands to hers. It stopped as quickly as it had started. So she tried harder. She let her mind go completely from the physical world. Finally, when she was no longer aware of her own heartbeat or breath she sensed the other spirits. Then she heard Obi-Wan screaming.
Meleana snapped back to reality and pulled away from him. She leapt to her feet and stumbled back towards the spirit as if she was unaware of her presence. She stood in arms distance of the woman while she focused herself, back to the energy she had felt before. When she could feel the woman with the force she snapped her arm back, grabbed her, and pulled with all the force energy she could muster. The woman was gone in seconds. A cry of victory echoed across the kitchen before Meleana fell to the floor again.
“Do you think you can win! I've been doing this for ages, you've done it once to a house maid!” The Sith was seething pacing in circles around Meleana.
“Are you afraid?” Meleana asked calmly.
“Afraid? No, but don't think your tricks will work.”
“What do you intend to do? Keep me here? I'll grow old and die, and you'll lose your vessel. You can't act here and on the physical plain. If you could I'd be dead already. You shouldn't be so quick to anger,” Meleana smirked, “I know I can hurt you now. You may kill me, and everyone here I love, but I swear on my Master's grave it will hurt like hell. By the time I'm done there will be so little of you left you'll be sucking the souls out of vermin trying to claw your way out of your gaudy castle.”
The Sith snarled at her and Meleana was hurled back to reality.
Obi-Wan was still on the floor when she came to again. He was pale and sweating, but otherwise looked unharmed.
“What just happened?”
“I may have... eaten part of your soul... and then I ate a maid, and the Sith got a little perturbed at me.”
“You ate my soul? I love you darling, but I do draw the line at consuming my soul.”
“Well I didn't know I would take such a big bite!” Meleana shrugged. “I'm sorry, I'm new at the whole Force-vampire thing. I think its a largely unexplored concept. I should write a book.”
“Well at least you're thinking about the future now,” Obi-Wan lifted himself into a sitting position.
“I think I can kill her. If I can get good enough at this... She needs to touch me, maybe if I can figure out how to do it without touching,” Meleana was looking excitedly at Obi-Wan.
“I'm sorry love, but if you are sucking anything else out of me this evening it won't be my soul.”
Meleana felt better than she'd ever felt. Her whole body felt like it was humming. She pulled the bandage off her arm and excitedly showed her unmarked skin to Obi-Wan.
“It healed!” She exclaimed giddily,“Come on, lets go find more ghosts!”
Obi-Wan stitched his brow. Even having felt her pull his own soul out, he wasn't sure he believed the drunk woman who suddenly pictured herself as a soul sucking force vampire. He grabbed her arm to keep her from skipping out of the room. Her mood swings were beginning to try his patients.
“Meleana, darling, I am so glad to see you are,” he was having trouble finding the right words to describe exactly what she was doing, “We need to talk.”
Meleana looked like a frustrated teen who'd just been told to change, “I can't... she'll stop me.”
“Alright,” Obi-Wan held his hands out to her, “like this then.”
Just as they were beginning to connect through the force Meleana cried out and their connection was severed, “She doesn't want us to communicate.”
“Well she should really enjoy our relationship then,” Obi-Wan quipped.
“Come on,” Meleana said heading for the stairs.
Obi-Wan followed without an argument. At the first lading he held Meleana's arms and pressed her against the wall. With her arms over her head he wrapped his hands around hers while his lips devoured hers. He hopped the hand holding would clue her in to what he was trying to do. Although making out in the stairway would be a fine consolation prize if they didn't manage telepathic communication.
“Well hello there,” Obi-Wan said when he felt Meleana connect to him.
“This is interesting,” while they could hear each heat the others voice their mouths were very busy with one another.
“It's a first for me. Now, please explain exactly what is going on.”
Meleana moaned.
“You aren't getting out of this. I literally have you cornered, and I'm in your head.”
“Alright, but stop grinding against me like that. It's incredibly distracting.”
“Sorry... my body has a mind of its own.”
“Right. Where to start. I'm not even sure what is relevant. I guess the visions came first. For months now I've felt myself dying in the gardens here. Then this guy showed up and said I was going to die. That a friend had hired him to help. When we got here I realized this was the place from my visions.”
“Go back to the guy who told you you were going to die. That is really not enough of an explanation.”
“That's all I have. He was just a guy. A human. I told him to leave me alone. He showed up the night you made me go to the medcenter and did something. I don't know what.”
“Well great I feel much better now.”
“This is why I didn't want to tell you!”
“Alright, alright, back on topic.”
“I've been seeing and hearing things since we got here. The Sith came to me on my ship before we even arrived to taunt me. She keeps pulling me out of myself to talk to me. She said I have until sunset tomorrow to surrender myself and let her use my body for herself or she'd kill everyone.”
“Well you aren't doing that.”
“I don't want to do that. We only have the day though, to figure out some alternative or she'll kill everyone and take me anyway. I don't see what good any of this information is, since we already know we've got nothing.”
“She seemed more then a little upset that you'd figured out how to absorb life forces.”
“True. So we have that.”

“What if we-”
“What in the galaxy are you two doing!” Master Windu broke their connection with his stern voice.
Obi-Wan pulled his lips off of Meleana. He wasn't sure taking a step back and revealing his erection would help anything.
“Master. I assure you there is a perfectly good explanation for this,” Obi-Wan said in his best Jedi tone.
Master Windu was standing with his arms crossed making a face that conveyed a number of different things “how stupid do you think I am?”, “How stupid are you?”, and “This had better be good.”
“We were communicating through the force without alerting the Sith,” Obi-Wan said as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
“And your explanation for your continued embrace of Jedi Ariadne?”
“I was feeling very vulnerable,” Meleana chimed in.
Obi-Wan stepped away from Meleana, “Have you had any luck working out our current dilemma?”
“No, I was coming to find you to make sure you two were alright. Clearly not soon enough. There are only so many things I can over look on one mission.”
“Understood Master. I would be happy to go over what I just explained to Jedi Kenobi. If you're interested.”
The way she said the last part made both Obi-Wan and Mace do a double take.
“Do you think that is necessary?” Mace sounded intrigued.
“I do not think that is necessary,” Obi-Wan said a little too forcefully, “We are on a bit of a time crunch after all. There were some items in Darth Tormentia's office I thought might prove of some use. Perhaps you would be able to translate them Master. I was unable to make anything out on them.”
“So you would like me to go upstairs and leave the two of you alone?” Master Windu did not look amused.
“I need to hunt ghosts,” Meleana sounded as though she knew exactly how silly she sounded.
Master Windu shook his head, “Alright. Obi-Wan, I trust that you are not sending me on a fools errand because I highly doubt you would risk pushing me any more then you already have. I will look into the Sith's office. You two hunt ghosts, communicate through the force. Do whatever it is you need to do, but meet us back in the archives by sunrise. Understood?”
Both the Jedi bowed, “Yes, Master.”
