For a while, it seemed like the Jedi Order had seen nothing but failure. A barely successful rescue mission at Sullust coincided with a devastating attack on the Jedi Temple on Ajan Kloss and the death of Grandmaster Oota Boan and one of the Councillors. The next big move of the Sith was the invasion of Denon, which led to the deaths of Councillor Max Tionson and Knight Talak Rand, who were both among the most prominent members of the Order. But then something changed. The invasion of Byblos was repelled by the joint forces of planetary defenses, the Jedi, and the Sector Rangers. For the first time in a while, the Jedi had a reason to rejoice.
Compared to the events of that magnitude, the misadventure of one Padawan and her friend on Ajan Kloss was nothing to write home about. For some reason, they had ventured to the sacked and abandoned Jedi Temple and were ambushed by the Sith. Both survived the ordeal and were taken back to the Jedi Temple. The Twi'lek recovered quickly—physically at least—whereas the Zeltron's injuries proved more permanent.
Although the body recovered, the Padawan remained comatose for reasons that even the Jedi healers couldn't fully explain. Out cold and in the bacta, Lani missed Denon and the grim fate of Max Tionson broadcast over the HoloNet. She also missed Byblos and the news of a repelled Sith attack. Weeks passed, months even. It seemed like the young Zeltron could end up forever asleep. It seemed like whatever happened on Ajan Kloss, it left the mark on Galania Tallis.
But then, one day, her vitals changed, surprising even the seasoned Jedi healers who checked up on her bacta tank from time to time. Taken into the medical ward, Galania would eventually wake up before any visitors were allowed. A week of observations, and the healers deemed the young Zeltron ready to get out of bed and walk around the ward. At the same time, visits were also allowed. Although it remained to be seen whether Padawan Galania Tallis would be getting any visitors.
