Andro looks at her seriously for a moment, "Sorry, are you trying to be funny? If she doesn't answer my question, she will be in danger." The he grins a little, "Seriously, I don't think she'll feel safe with me in the room."
"I don't disagree," says Jelena, unsure just what Andro feels about the matter. Just to be safe, Jelena adds in her own two cents. "Andro, I have no doubt in your skills as a Jedi, but... I will tell you that I am worried about you. Whatever happens next, just remember to keep under control. I will stand by your side so long as you do that."
"I wouldn't either if I was in her position," Jelena says with a smirk.
(Also, before I forget, Jelena would like to send a copy of the Offatory fund's records back to Coruscant; we may not have much time, but having it analyzed for a potential bank trace is better than not having it analyzed at all!)
"They've seized the accounts!" Kathya is saying.
"I am surprised they did not do it earlier."
"You're the lawyer! Protect me!"
"I already said- there's no ndeed. Sienar is almost done."
"You won't tell me how that helps me! They are bound to come for me! Where is Sienar?"
"Well now- it would not do for him to be too closely associated with you at this point would it?"
"What?!"
"kathya, if you have incriminated yourself, yu have brought danger to the Abbot... I mean, Archimandrite. He won't take that very well. You know what happens to people that endanger him."
"No... I've served him well!"
"Then continue to. You know what to do. If you live, you earn your place back again."
"You said he was pleased with my work fotr him!"
"And so he is. That's why you get to use the little presents our alien friends left for him. Make the best of them. I really must be off, my dear."

Ok, Coruscant has it.
Ithrorn has been keeping you updated. He thinks he will have Mirani's files on Sienar decoded today. Resistance on Spiridos has been broken; all the criminals and those complicit are being taken in. But he still cannot work out quite why the secrecy in those files.
He also reports that an insensible Zaland is starting to talk (his operation has gone well; he will recover). The only words Ithron has been able to make out is "I have to kill him."
Gallagher realizes that Kathya is referring to the Jedi when she mentions the seized accounts. He takes Kathya's worry as evidence of what Tavers said earlier, about the Jedi being able to find proof against Kathya if they looked for it. He does not want to bungle their operation if they have got something now, but... his curiosity at this point is extreme, knowing that Tavers has the answers, and he is worried about whatever it is Kathya is being allowed to use.
He takes his lightsaber from his belt and waits for Tavers to open the door.
"Make sure he knows that Gallagher is alright," Jelena says, "even if that is a falsehood. Zaland needs his rest, not seek revenge. I wish I could tell you that we have uncovered more, but all we know so far is that Sienar's plan involves vast amounts of money. The files we have sent are from the Synod's Offatory fund for donations and missionary work. It was relatively untouched until recently, when one of Sienar's associates made a rather large transaction. We want to have a trace made on the bank transfer. Be sure to inform us the moment you have cracked those files. Time is running short, I feel."
Before Tavers realizes what is going on, Gallagher presses the nozzle of his lightsaber against the lawyer's throat and pushes, nudging him back into the room.
"Back into the room," Gallagher says. "Don't do anything rash, either of you."
Once back in the room, Gallagher will, without looking, use the Force to close the door behind him.
Tavers laughs. "Or what, Jedi? Going to kill me, are you? Somehow I don't think so."

These damn crowds are slowing you again, Jedi.
It is not helping that a large area of the centre- mostly parkland- is being roped off for Sienar's ainaugural speech latewr. Tradtionally this is made to the city and hence is not in the Basilica, but complicating still further is that this is going to double as his address to the Senate, so all the Senators, their entourages and guards will be there too. That's quite a lot of people, and a large area being so roped off.

Public information shows little new, Roan. He first started to become a notable figure in the Church some ten years ago, and his record since then has been as you have seen it in game. He is said to be a native of Mandragos and joined the Church there as a boy.
Gallagher strikes Tavers across the face with the hilt of his lightsaber to make him stop talking and obey. He feels slightly ill doing something like this, something he is not at all good at, but knows that he needs to find out what Sienar is planning.
"I have killed before," Gallagher says.
Does Gallagher see Tavers' suitcase anywhere?
