*Delfedd bows to the masters* perhaps if we found who was trying to murder the viceroy and the jedi who passed into the pirates turf, we'd find a connection.

"The Viceroy's would-be assassins are dead," says Windu, speaking up. "As is the pirate leader near Anzat. The assailant on Neimodia was Jor Balek, a problem of old for us but now disappeared without a trace.
"All of these people were tools. It is in trying to uncover their organisers that we run into difficluties. Especially as the chief suspect you have presented to us is a Vice-President of the Techno-Union."
"Carlan Ryamore is not only a Vice-President," says Palpatine, not turning. "He is the Director of the Union's Outer Region sales. Probably the number three man in the entire organisation. Entire lobby groups of Senators are in the pocket of this man. I cannot stress strongly enough just how delicate this matter is."

"Excuse my intervention but 'Outer region' sounds more like black market if you ask me." Said Lorn Synically on the matter at hand, speaking up for the first time. "Do we know who he has been supplying to? Albeit Carlan has a wide net under which he could sell, if we find records of any dubious activities then surely that would give us a clue into anyone who might hold something against him."

"Judging by the way our foe has covered his tracks to date, I would say it's unlikely there are any records to find." states Clarion. "Perhaps we could send Someone inside their organization?"

"I for one am still wondering about Carlan his motives. I mean what does he have to gain from this whole situation?"

Well, Roan has has some samples of the chips analysed. They certainly COULD have come from the Union. Unfortunately that proves bugger all; the Techno Union supplies some 3/4s of companies that do anything with technology. The chips might have been simply assembled from purchased Union parts.
"Outer Region" means the area outside the central part of the Republic. The Techno Union has several sales directors, but the Outer Region is the single largest sales area. In fact, the Union has a virtual monopoly out there; worlds that far out tend to be much more backwards than the Core Worlds, and depend on technology imports to keep up. The Union meets that supply; the person in charge of that has a major job.
However Roan's problem demonstrated the main issue. The Viceroy's assassins are most likely Techno Union security- but it is not as if they were carrying id cards. Roan and Xeth's entire suspicions are based on a tip off- the source is trusted, but that's not proof. Marcus and Vlad- all they have is a photo that shows Carlan was interested in Trade Federation business.
All of you have cause to believe he's the man. All of you instinctively feel you are on to something. But none of you have proper evidence!
You have been offered one motive- Xeth's contacts in the Taloranians believe the Techno-Union is supplying new weapons technology- like the brain implants- to dubious soruces in order to test their effectiveness. They are certain that is why the battle droids were let slip to the Hutts two years ago, and think the pattern is repeating now. Successful tests could certainly boost Ryamore's sales margins. And he seems to be involved in political machinations on Neimodia that COULD involve him in the plot to kill the Viceroy... hard to say.
But you are certainly missing bits of this puzzle, Marcus- your Intuition is sure of that.
Nit a bad idea, Clarion- but you might want to talk to Xeth about what has happened to those who tired before you. Sadly, at this point, you have no time to set up an undercover operation, nor could you get authorisation without evidence. These contacts of Xeth interest you though, Clarion- they do not seem averse to action in the name of justice, even if it is of fuzzy legality. The Council, of course, is straight as an arrow.
"On the other hand," says Windu, "too much has happened, and we have had too many indications of malfeasans, for us to simply ignore it."
Palpatine finally tuens and sits. Normally, he is amiable and jolly and sociable, and whilst he still wears a smile, he is speaking in deadly earnest this time.
"If you launch an investigation into Ryamore with no direct evidence, his political allies will launch a legal challenge. You will be surprised how quick the Courts will suddenly become if they do, and the investigation will be shut down. I do not speak in praise of what will happen. I am merely pointing out the truth. Large parts of the Republican bureaucracy that took power over the ladt 100 years, I am yet to dislodge from their positions."

"So since we evidently can't go after Carlan without further evidence. I assume we will need to find more evidence, tho it won't be easy. Or do you have another idea in mind?"

Clarion agrees with Master Marcus. Perhaps we could find a way to talk to Xeth's associates?

Pretty shady guys. Still, Xeth has the contact, so he can make use of it.

To talk to them? Sure- but they won't supply more info than you already have, they did all that alrwady. They might offer Xeth some adivce, but the last thing they asked him to do was to make sure that the Jedi launch an investigation! Hence his presence.

Hmmmmm how do we launch an investigation, if we are being told that such an investigation would lead to legal difficulties?
