STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Runaway

Maybe something to remember for the Dark Side group 😖hifty:

But i assume there isn't anything else useful in there is there?

If not then Xavier will move unto Door B.

Some archaic weapons can be found in the pile- even an ancient Jedi lightsaber, complete with belt-worn battery pack, and projectile rifles- but nothing useful, no.

Cutting down the door to B, you find the quarters.

Xavier will begin looking around the waurters looking for anything unusual.

It reminds you of being on Svidrigailov's ship, the quarters area. It is a long narrow corridor with heavy hatch doors on either side of the hallway. All the doors are open and the rooms are mostly empty.

You find a few bodies strewn out in the hallway.

Xavier will examine the bodies.

The one you are looking at has been cut cleanly in two at the waist.

The next one along has a burn mark that pierces straight through its chest.

The last one has been decapitated, also very cleanly.

Xavier looks at the bodies and immediately sees that this was done by a lightsaber.

Are there any security cameras anywhere?

Indeed, only a Jedi weapon could have done this.

Yes, there is.

There are also larger quarters at the end of the corridor, if you wish to see them.

Xavier will go check them as well.

There are three rooms, each with a name etched into the metal.

The first is very plainly Svidrigailov's, judging by the lavish interior and immense four poster bed that one could have a small party on. Paintings of a younger Svidrigailov and various overpowered blasters adorn the walls.

The second belongs to commanding officer of Svidrigailov's base. It is not nearly as lavish as the Pirate Lord's, but decent enough. It looks as if personal belongings have been extracted from the room.

The third is very simple and spartan, mostly empty. It belongs to Friste Tem. If there was anything in here, he seems to have taken it.

Xavier will look through the room no matter how futile it is.

If he finds nothing then he will head back out and go into door C

Observation check... 14 is just a success! And so Xavier spots the burnt scrap of paper that has fallen under the desk.

What remains of the paper seems to be a copy of something. The original text is illegible as you do not understand the language in which it is written... but there are scribbled translations under some of the symbols. You think it might be Friste's writing. One phrase you manage to pick out- 'Key of Mortez.'

Aha.

Key of Mortez, huh?

"Yes indeed," Xavier says.

Does t hat name ring any bells with Xavier?

If you recall, the Key of Mortez was the Sith artifact that Xorn Elias stole from the Jedi Order.

Well if it is a Key then it must unlock something.

A safe assumption. But this burnt scrap of paper confirms that Friste wants something to do with whatever it is that need be unlocked.

There isn't anything else in the room is there?

If not then Xavier will head back out and try and see what is behind the other two doors.

No, Friste seems to have taken all of his belongings, if there were any.

Sabering into Room C... we have the armory. Unfortunately for you, you specialize purely in lightsaber combat and hand-to-hand if need be, so these toys aren't interesting to you.

D is... an alternative exit to the base! It seemed to have more of those cutting laser traps and energy walls, but all traps are off so it is a safe climb up a ladder to the surface.

Comlink is bleeping.

Xavier will answer the comlink.

It is Trax, making sure you are still alive.
