USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (JEDI)- Purity

In the end, Gallagher, you found nothing at the crime scenes, and later analysis of the body and of the room finds no traces of anything or anyone else at all; someone was very careful not to leave even the smallest oof traces for genetic sniffers to pick up. No droid was in the right place, no camera caught the incident (there were no cams inside the home itself; it's not that kind of planet).

"This one will have to come down to good old fashioned detective work, Gallagher," says Korth, "though a few good gusses wouldn;t go amiss. Logic and instinct in equal proportions, that's always the way. Balance between the two, never one without the other."

Before long you have a potential suspect profile in place. Most likely human or human like, else they would have stood out too much on this planet or at any starport, likely male- strong enough to have dragged Zolos uop those staiurs and thrown him over the building- and very likely with some kind of psychotic tendency, and the unnecessary method of Zolos' death dictates, having dragged him all the way up to throw him off. So it is from there that you first form the toery of some kind of mentally disturbed perpetrator. That left many questions, but at least something to look for.

And as soon as you think of him, your memories shift... running desperately towards the scene... coming in, and seeing that murder standing above your sister's body...

At this point the far door slides briskly open, Andro, revealing the cloaked form o Sienar.

"Forgive me, Jedi, for my delay... there is much I have to attend to. Ah, Andro... I thought we might meet again."

Andrew looks upon the Abbot, many emotions going through his mind. He does his best to keep his face a mask. He was glad he passed his saber to Roan. "Yes, I had thought so myself." He says carefully. "We understand you are busy with your work," Brainwashing a Jedi!!! Andro cannot help but add mentally, "so we will keep this brief. We have come for Mirani, to arrest him for his crimes on Spiridos. We also came to questions Kathya, but it seems she is beyond our reach now." He pauses, then speaks formally, "Abbot Seinar, do you have any information on the current activities or the last known whereabouts of one Dr. Mirani, formerly of the Tranquil Repose, Spiridos, as regards our investigation into the smuggling of Aspidrol and to those events that, by fraudulent claims and medical practices, led to the deaths of thousands on that planet?"

Jelena presses a comforting hand to Andro's shoulder in an attempt to calm him, but senses the frustration within the young swordsman.

However, she does not disagree with Andro's straight-to-the-point method for now, and awaits the Abbot's response.

What can Jelena sense about Sienar?

You sense... virtually nothing.

(Sienar has Iron Will)

"Much to my chagrin, I am afraid Doctor Mirani has not advised me of his location. I can only hope my tratements last me through this difficult period. My negotiations with the Senate are of utmost importance. You understand how many lives are at stake, yes?"

Gallagher, thinking back to that terrible event in his life, tries to focus as his mind slips and begins to speed onwards towards the murder of his sister, instead of concentrating and taking the memory one step at a time.

It's no good, Gallagher. The emotions welling up in you from that moment override everything else. When you saw what had happened, when you saw that scene... what did you do to him?

"I hear there are many you would save."

"Many indeed, Jedi. The breakdown of the transportation network coupled with many recent natural disasters renders an entire quadrant of the Galaxy on the verge of economic collapse. Mass starvation would follow. Some form of aid package is desperately needd but the Senate is deadlocked on the terms. Recent events in the Altamira Constellation have not helped matters; the faoilure of the Senatorial aid package there has made many nervous."

"Well, we certainly hope the Senate can reach an accord." He stares into the hideous face. "Now. Where's Gallagher?"

"Resting, for now. You have not introduced me to your companions, Andro..."

Without missing a beat, Andro says, "jedi Knight Roan Trilanger" and "Jedi Knight Jelena Bendu", indicating each in turn. "When can we see him?"

"When he wishes to see you."

Jelena gives a polite bow when Andro curtly introduces his companions to the Abbot.

"Charmed, Abbot," Jelena says. "I am afraid I know very little of your career with the Synod of Ferradyne, or about the Synod itself, but you must be a prestigious man indeed to be attempting to sway the Senate's views."

"Do not confuse prestige with power, Jelena." Andro wishes to say more, but holds his tounge. He knows it's a little too loose already, and there is no chance of settling the entire matter here and now.

"I do attempt to make whatever difference that one man can," says Sienar. "We feel in the Synod that the best any being cn do is to act as an example to others."

His cloak and robes look like that of a monks, Jelena, his voice quiet, level and measured. He always wears his hood, but ust for a moment you see inside it, and see the bright white of exposed bone and burnt flesh. He masks it well when he walks but every step is unsteady, made with rgeat effort.

"I see Andro is keen to discuss... many things. Why don't we come into my personal quarters to talk them over?"

Well," says the Abbot. "I see that Andro here is keen to discuss... many things

"Yes, I am." When Seinar turns to either open his door or enter ahead of them, Andro slips by Roan and takes his saber back, sliding it home in its holster. "I'm ok, really." he whispers and is ready to enter the office of his enemy.

The door behind Sienar opens as he turns and walks into his offices beyond.

Jelena follows, keeping her senses open despite her knowledge that some Dark Siders are able to cloud and confuse them. She watches Andro take his lightsaber back, hoping that he will do nothing unfortunate so early in the mission...

You don;t sense anything immediate... but you are very concerned for the future, much like gallagher was reporting on Spiridos.

Sienar walks straight through his Abbot's office- mostly filled with paperwork- and through another door at the rear of that, a small door, not easily noticed...

Jelena follows behind Andro, who is most likely purposefully walking right behind Sienar through this small door. She steps inside.
