USH'S GAME EPISODE III- 'ARTIFACT'. Dark Side area

Yes, the armour he was wearing has been dropped off in here. Damn! he must have gone out front again already! Whoever he is, he's not a stroller.

You can dash back out front and try and find him before he disppears into the crowds in the streets. But... you are getting the feeling Takuan did earlier. A vibe from the future. Attention will soon be focussed on something unpleasant that has happened here, is the feeling you are getting.

Something doesn't feel right... thinks Galder. He shrugs it off and runs out to the front, tapping into the Force again. He calls to Rura on the comlink, "Rura, this is Galder. Hail and reserve a taxi for us, just in case."

Takuan, you have been idly flicking through some of the promotional literature for this place. Apparently the dojo is an exact replica of that to be found in the Jedi Temple itself.

And then, a small shock- apparently this place was made possible due to a huge donation it received to aid in its construction. The generous donor is identified as a certain Kir Ascar.

Darn it, Galder, you've lost him... you haven't a clue where to look now, Something dodgy about whatever that guy is, for sure. You suspect he knew he was being followed, somehow.

And darn it again, that other thing is bugging you... whatever it is is close but not within sight... maybe not in the building at all.

"Rura, cancel that..." Galder says when he reads what Takuan has found.

"This certainly is interesting..." says Galder, as he reads the section about Ascar's donation.

It's a very generous donation. Made on the grounds of shared cultural interest- Ascar, being such an expert on Jedi artifacts on the like apparently found the project of re-constructing part of the Temple in the capital rather interesting.

But that doesn't seem like the actions of the hard-edged businessman you met before.

"Certainly generous of him, isn't it? Doesn't sound at all like him..." Galder reads on a little more.

It doesn't say a whole lot more. He also provided some of the objects that are in here to give it a more genuine feel.

Maybe it IS just part of his generic interests; you certainly can't think of any other reason.

"Huh...that's odd," says Galder. He then looks to some of the objects, not searching for anything in particular.

"such generous of him still. MAybe that giy could've shared some more info...Let's find someone else...i'd go for teshan..."

There is always the way of the illusionist, Ush. One to show and one to give...

Still waiting for an answer.

Then go and see him, queeq, that's the only way you're going to talk to him!

-
Galder and Takuan, a small problem is now developing. A local policeman has just entered the dojo and asked to speak to Teshan. One of the fighters removes his helmet, to reveal an elderly man, and walks over to speak with the officer.

"so now we know what he looks like" he says moving closer enhacing his hearing towards them.

Unfortunately, Takuan, your senses are interrupted by a member of staff approaching you and asking if he can help you- you are non-members in the members area, see...

Galder, Rura is reporting that police are arriving in some number outside- but their investigations are focussed on the alleyway next to the dojo, not the dojo itself.

"Well..thank you, actually i guess you could help me a bit here" takuan says to the staff member. "this place is fabulous and i must say i'm a bit interested on how all of this started. Whoever built it must be very dedicated..."

Well now, the staff member cheerfully tells you all about how Teshan came here a few years ago and very quickly got this large and VERY generous donation from Mr. Ascar. The centre was only finished a year ago, but has done GREAT business since then. If Mr. Ascar expected anything in return he has not asked for it; he hasn't been here since the inauguration.

"i see. I read this is an exact replica as in the jedi temple. ANy reason for that?"

"I think Teshan wanted it that way. And it's good advertising, just like his position."

"yes...well thank you for your time" Takuan turns to leave but he remembers the guy in the suit. "oh, and another thing...i noticed a big guy in a weird brown suit. He seemed to leave in a hurry...is he a regular student around here?"

"One of the Mogarians? Oh yes, he's a regular. Joined two months back."

"ok..thank you again.....i might be interested about some classes. Meanwhile i'm gonna go read some more of your posters" saying that, takuan goes for Galder.
