Synopsis

Anakin is now 14 and well into his Jedi training. Despite being the Chosen One and one of the most promising Jedi Padawans, he still has two major problems. He's emotional and hot headed and he has yet to make any friends at the Jedi Temple. Both problems are confronted when Obi-Wan and Anakin are sent on a mission to Radnor.

A virus outbreak has occurred on the planet causing the population to go into panic. Looting and riots take place as everyone tries to evacuate the planet. Four teams of Jedi are sent in: Anakin and Obi-Wan, Siri and Ferus Olin, Ry-Gaul and Tru Veld, and Soara Antana and Darra Thel-Tanis. Their mission is to calm the people there and escort them in an orderly evacuation of the planet. After arriving, the Jedi Masters split with their Padawans to tour the "hot zone". However, the end up being temporarily separated and it's up to Anakin and the Padawans to maintain order and discover the hidden truth behind the virus outbreak. But can Anakin find a way to work with these other Padawans as well as become their friends?
