USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II, EPISODE I (LIGHT SIDE)- Conspiracy

"Because, Kellan, I think it is in your interests to know. I don't think the Council are in a position to do anything... but you are. Keep your senses open in the near future... I think you will find a remarkable number of coincidences, that all revolve around... you. And as we both know, there are no coincidences. This shows purpose- you are the player in this game, Kellan."

Only at this point do you notice that Ascar has been holding his hands towards the two guards, Kellan. He snaps his fingers suddenly, and the two of them blink, as if they have just come to.

"Kindly inform the Senator that I wish to speak with him again now," says Ascar. He turns bck to you. "As I say, the necklace is a gift. A reminder, of the stakes you are playing for. In return... you find out more about this mystery in the Force... I want to know it. Ignorance is something I cannot abide."

we take all the clues with us and we head back out back to the main city

Ok, well, your move.

trying to figure out when the image was made

Well, that will require a forensic investigation, which Vlad is best suited for- though Tidus, you really must sort out your character's skills.

That will take Vlad some time, so what do you plan to do, Marcus?

hmm I don't feel like splitting up the team at this moment so I'm gonna wait I think

Um...i figured I had 7 frames left so I could do 2x3 frames like.. 😕

Ah, ok, I thought you wanted to do it before he attacked you again. Gotcha.

Just waiting for the others...

"Your control is impressive," Kellan acknowledged. "You still haven't told me how you actually came into possession of this necklace."

"I used to make a career of that sort of thing, of course," says Ascar. "As it happens, it was plundered by the Sith, and I found it in the same place I found that Astrolabe that once was such a focus of your work."

"I see," she replied. "Thank you for passing it on to me, Kir. I don't quite know how you see these....coincidences revolving around me, but I appreciate you sharing your knowledge."

"Through the Force you will see many things, Master Gundark; things long gone, things yet to come, and those that will be again. Some of us simply have our eyes more open than others."

Riordan returns.

"So, what's the story?" he asks.

OK guys, sorry I did my stats 😄

Okidokey.

None of you hav Fix-it, so the investigation of the photograph will have to be done purely on Observation- who wants to try it?

Marcus should go, He has better intelegence and he has observation.

I suppose it's up to me then

*I take a good long look at it*

Reflect Strine's shot, then can I do what Sunda did?

Afraid not, as that is only the start of your worries.

Strine rolls +2, for a 16, which is a hit. Hopeless trying to Reflect him, Roan, he's way too good. That's eight damage to you, making it now a double impairment.

Xeth's Guard keeps him safe this time. Sunda dodges half his attackers... but take another hit for five damage from one of the doorway pirates.

That then leaves five pirates and another taskmaster firing at you, Roan. Your remaining Reflections kill one from the barricade, even with the armour it gave him. Other than that, you remain fortunate and not hit for now.

Up top, I'll have Densk continue his double attacks; hacking down two more. Rusky, you step forwards to engage the Taskmaster; he dodges, but your blade flashes out and hacks off a section of shoulder pad; an effective 24 damage.

The only person with leisure to act is Xeth...

... because, Roan, Strine fires at you again.

Rusky comes under fire from three pirates, a turret and a taskmaster; Densk from three pirates and two turrets.

I reflect the shots made at me and attack the TM again..

Ok, lacking the technical skills needed for a thorough analysis, Marcus, you can at least determine that the photo is not that old. So by a process of more logical deduction you take a different route- the photo was probably taken when the factory was opened, nearly three years ago.

But you also find a reference number embedded inside the electronics- this was an officially registered photograph, and a reference exists on the stellar network. The reference is just a caption about the two main figures shaking hands.

I. Nute Gunray, Viceroy, Trade Federation

II. Carlan Ryamore, Vice-President Acquisitions/Security, Techno Union

Reflecting again will leave them attacking first, Rusky, so I will have to wait on Densk before you go again. Though as ever, I am not waiting long.
