JEDI
Ok, you are through to the Council on Coruscant. Mace Windu takes the report, snd nods at what you have to say.
"How satisifed are you with the situation?" he asks.

RENEGADES
Nostrum smiles.
"You and I, we are the same, you know," he says, "We don't like red tape. All this nonsense about laws and land... it's just a lot of smoke and mirrors made up by those in power. People like you and me... we prefer to get things done the direct way. The quick qay.
"All this? With the walkers and the teams? That was the quick way. Now we'll have to do it the slow way, through the courts. But all the judges and law here work for us. It will be slow... but the reault will be the same. The galaxy has no time for pathetic lifeofmrs like the ones here.
"But in slowing us down, you've made us angry. I'll give you now a warning that is the last for most. Beware the Coils of the Serpent. They surround you when you are not looking."
And with that, his men clear off.

DARK SIDE
None of you have a ship, so you have spent some considerable time riding back through the forest to your mountain!
It will be good to get to. The climb is not so bad, and the higher you get the more the atmospheric pressure eases, and you can act more freely. By the same logic, the Epireans don't like to go up there as they find it harder to draw in enough oxygen.
But that's odd- and worrying. Your shield is down. There should be a shield around the base that protects it from any orbital bombardment- though passable to you by pushing through it. But there's no resistance around the base of the mountain at all.
Well, to be fair, it's not your normal sort of mission, Jovan...
"Over the last few months, a group of 'techno pirates' known as the Cult of Charaeus have been launching attacks into Republican border space. The planet Charaeus itself is just outside the Republic and outside of Senatorial control. The cult is obsessed with technology and has often been known for its piratical and scavenging ways but recently its attacks have grown in number, regularity and technological sophistication. A recent attack on a civilian liner left all on board missing and assumed killed- including a Jedi."
