After seeing Aelius medical assessment results, specifically his mido-chorlian count Plo Koon knew he needed to contact the Jedi Council immediately and inform them of the results.
So with that in mind he began moving to do just that.
Leaving his room, his datapad in hand, Plo Koon moved through the corridors of the Republic cruiser with purpose.
Until he reached a conference room.
Entering it, and after making sure it was empty, he went over to the holotank in the middle of the room and began using its terminal to try and make contact with the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Using his personal Jedi communication codes.
A few moments after he began trying to connect to the temple Plo Koon attempt got through.
Where once it did two holographic figures appeared above the holotank.
The first was of grandmaster Yoda himself.

While the second was of Jedi Council master Mace Windu.

"Greetings Master's Yoda and Windu." Plo Koon spoke.
"Greetings master Plo Koon." Windu replied.
"Yes. Greetings to you." Yoda said. "Contacted us for what reason have you? A complication in your mission perhaps?"
To that Plo Koon shook his head. "No master Yoda. In fact I just completed my mission a few hours ago. The Republic Judicial Forces who have been assisting me in stopping the raiders in this system finally managed to track down their main vessel. Which we then raised and secured. Though in the process we were met with several captives. One of which was a boy whose presence in the Force was unlike anything I've ever felt. And I believe he is the case of a great shift in the Force I felt before the assault on the raider vessel truly began." The Kel Dor Jedi master explained.
Leading Yoda and Windu to share a brief look before focusing all their attention back on Plo Koon.
"We too felt this shift in the Force you speak of." Windu revealed.
"From the oldest masters to the youngest initiates here at the temple did the Force change. Though suggest this boy you encountered is the cause? Possess any proof do you?" Yoda said.
"I do in fact have several pieces of evidence." Plo Koon spoke. He then used his datapad to send Aelius' medical data to Windu and Yoda at the temple. "I have just sent you the young boys medical records. And from this you will see his mido-chorlian count is 22,000." He revealed.
Stunning both Yoda and Windu.
"22,000? Are you sure?" Windu asked.
"If true, powerful in the Force this boy could become." Yoda mused.
"I have re-run the test two more times just to be sure." Plo Koon spoke. "There is no mistaking the boys count. In addition the is another fact you should know. His full name is Aelius Sunrider."
Plo Koon words once more stunning both Yoda and Windu.
"Sunrider you say." Windu mused. "If what you are implying is true master Plo Koon then it good you encountered this boy when you did."
"Yes. Important he is. His actions, change the galaxy could they." Yoda spoke. "To Coruscant you will bring him. Where further the council will test him." He declared.
"Understood master Yoda." Plo Koon replied.
He then cut the connection to the temple on Coruscant.
Right after he decided it was time to have a chat with Aelius.
***
As Plo Koon cut the communication a silence descended in the communication center of the Jedi Temple between Yoda and Windu.
Until the latter decided to break it.
"A mido-chorlian count of 22,000. Not to mention being a possible descendant of the Sunrider family." He mused. "Could this boy be the one spoke of in the prophecy?"
"Uncertain of this I am. Meet the boy first and assess him we must. Determine his fate after the Jedi will." Yoda spoke.
Though what he didn't say out loud was that he too was wondering of Aelius was the Chosen One.
Would he bring balance to the Force?
'Time will tell.' Yoda thought.
"Come. Review the data and inform the rest of the council of these developments we must." Yoda said to Windu.
Who only gave a curt nod in response.
The two then began making their way out of the communication center.
So many new thoughts on their minds.

Sitting in the mess hall of the Republic cruiser Aelius held a datapad in his hands.
Provided to him by one of the crew members of the ship.
After he requested it.
Why?
Because he wanted to be able to access the holonet, and use whatever information he could determine not only exactly where he was in the Star Wars timeline but what veriojs he was in as well.
Because Aelius knew if he anywhere near the beginning of the Clone Wars he was fucked with a capital F.
Given his age, there would be no conceivable way he could train enough in the ways of the Force under the Jedi before old Palpy enacted his plan and executed them.
Then Aelius would likely find himself being tortured and brainwashed into Inquisitorous or one of the other Dark Side Sects Sidious created during his time as Emperor.
Which just thinking about sent a shiver across Aelius entire body.
Though after a few more minutes of searching the holonet he breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he found several articles detailing that Finis Valorum had just been elected Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.
Telling Aelius he currently in the year 40BBY.
Meaning of the timeline holds up he'll be 26 years old before the Clone Wars begin.
Which was plenty of time to prepare.
After seeing Valorum just became Chancellor Aelius looked up several other things.
Finding the fact the Lothal system existed.
Though when he looked up Jedi he saw several that only existed in the Legends/EU universe.
Telling Aelius he is in a mix of both.
Though he's hoping it's more Legends/EU.
Because he seriously doesn't want to deal with that First Order and Smoke bullshit.
Even if Legends/EU is thousands of times more dangerous than Disney Canon.
Truly.
But for Aelius that also what makes living in such a universe exciting.
Just thinking of what he could accomplish brought a smile to his face.
So much so he didn't even notice Plo Koon enter the mess hall and sir down at his table until he was looking right him.
This caused Aelius to look up from his datapad. "Oh, hell there." He said.
"The same to you young Aelius." Plo Koon replied. "And on that note I wonder if I could have a moment of your time?"
"Sure." Aelius replied. Since he knew what it was likely about.
"Thank you." Plo Koon replied. "So, I have spoken to some of the other captives and they told me that when one of the raiders was torturing you they suddenly flew through the air and died. Do you know why that was?"
"I don't." Aelius replied.
Lying through his teeth.
Since he couldn't exactly tell Plo Koon the truth.
In fact Aelius is never telling anyone about his second set of memories. Since that was risking opening a whole can of worms he didn't even want to think of touching.
"Well you see that is because you accessed a power known as the Force. A power in this universe present in all living things. But not many can access it. But you, like us Jedi can. Making you very special."
"So, your saying I get to become a Jedi?" Aelius asked.
"That remains to be seen." Plo Koon replied. "You see first you must come with me to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to determine that."
"Okay." Aelius replied. Acting a bit nervous to sell that he was a kid to Plo Koon.
At least for a little while.
"Good. And do not fear. I'm sure all will work itself out." Plo Koon replied.
"Sure." Aelius replied.
Once he did Plo Koon went on his way and Aelius went back to surfing the holonet using the datapad.
Feeling giddy he was about to head to Coruscant.

As the Republic cruiser came out of hyperspace Aelius looked out the transparesteel windows from the viewing deck he was standing on.
Marveling at the world known as Coruscant in front of him.
[Insert Image of Coruscant Here]
It had been a week since Plo Koon and the Judicial Forces had rescued him and the other captives from those raiders in the Outer Rim.
Since then Aelius hung out on the cruiser whlile the other former captors were dealt with.
Then once they were he found himself on the way to Coruscant.
Now here he was.
Right at what was said to be the planet that was the center of life in the Star Wars universe.
As well as the most notorious hive of scum and villainy in the galaxy.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Plo Koon asked.
Standing right next to Aelius.
"It is." He replied.
"Well if you love the view of it from outer space then you'll absolutely love the view from the surface." Plo Koon said.
"Eh, maybe." Aelius replied.
Leading Plo Koon to flash a smile.
After he did the two set off towards the shuttle bay and then took one down to the surface.
Right to the Jedi Temple.
[Insert Image of Coruscant Jedi Temple Here]
A sight Aelius found himself memorized by.
For it was one thing to see the Jedi Temple on a screen or read about it in a book, but it was another to see it with his own eyes.
And it was glorious.
Aelius kept thinking this even as the shuttle he and Plo Koon were soon landed in one of the temples shuttle bays.
Once it did the pair departed.
"Follow me." Plo Koon spoke.
Beginning to walk.
Aelius following right behind him as the Kel Dor Jedi master navigated the Jedi Temple.
Until the pair reached a set of doors.
"Whatever happens from here on out Aelius, don't fret." Plo Koon said.
"I'll try." Aelius replied.
Right after he did Plo Koon stepped forward, Aelius following behind him.
As they did the doors open and when it did Aelius found himself faced with none other than the Jedi High Council.

Making it quite the day.
