BB-00, known as "Boo," was struggling to optimize hyperspace efficiency aboard the Star Herald, which was located in the far reaches of Wild Space. CR-8R, nicknamed "Crater," cautioned Boo against continuing, fearing potential electric shocks. Emil Graf, the cartographer, inquired about the situation. Upon learning of Boo's dedication, he recalled a tale told by his Aunt Lina Graf.

The story took place in 21 BBY, when Jedi Padawan Barriss Offee was dispatched by her Jedi Master, Luminara Unduli, to a temple with instructions to find a specific chamber. Utilizing The Force, she gained entry. She used her lightsaber to illuminate her path until she encountered an obstacle.

Before her, massive doors moved vertically in sequence. She sprinted and slid beneath them before they could close. She then dodged moving blades before reaching a bridge. As the bridge began to collapse, voices in her mind predicted her failure. After she crossed the bridge, a ghostly version of herself attacked. The ghost swung its lightsaber, but Barriss blocked the blow with her own.

Subsequently, she entered a darkened room. Her lightsaber deactivated, but she reactivated it. Upon entering the chamber, she found a book in the center. Overjoyed at completing her mission, she grasped the book, only for it to disintegrate. She felt profound disappointment.

Shortly thereafter, she met with Master Unduli and apologized for the apparent failure. However, Unduli reassured her that she had not failed. Unduli had orchestrated the mission as a test for Offee: to locate the book, but not to retrieve it intact. Unduli expressed satisfaction that Offee had successfully completed the next stage of her Jedi training.

Returning to the Star Herald, Graf concluded his story, but Crater remained confused. Graf highlighted the various repairs Boo had made while attempting to adjust the hyperdrive. He emphasized that the journey itself held greater significance than the ultimate destination.
