Annoying, isn't he? Which leaves you the terrible feeling that not only has he done something very significant, you actually have no darn idea what it is.
You have a cold feeling of dread, Jelana.
Sienar now leaves the stage as the applause goes on. And just for one tiny moment, jelena, you see him nearly stumble; he rights himself on a guard rail and does a good job of making it look natural to those with lesser senses.
Normally you feel nothing from Sienar but just for a tiny moment, you sense gneuine distress from him. Then he raises a hand and acknolwedges the crowd, and moves on.
Jelena frowns when she picks up the feeling of distress from Sienar. She feels that it is not an appropriate reaction to what he has just accomplished, the possible formation of a grand organization.
"Curious," she comments. "Come along, Andro. I want to speak with our friend the Archimandrite..."
Is there any way that Jelena can get to him?
Okay, we need to pick up the ball and score some points here.
Roan should figure out the significance of the hive-mind being, if there is any. It could be one of those 'distract you with something strange' thing, unless Roan felt that it was of importance to what is going on here.
Jelena wants to go back to Roan's starship. First thing she wants to do is contact Ithrorn and check the status of the files he found on Mirani's computer. Then she wants to speak with Zaland, now that he is able to reply. After that she has the bank traces in mind, and anything that talking with Zaland may bring up.
Gallagher glares at Sienar when the Archimandrite enters.
"I want my membership to your group revoked," Gallagher says. "I have remembered enough of my past to recall how you treat your allies. Betray them before they are useless, so that even then they can serve some purpose. I will not accept that fate for myself!"
"Once you are in, Gallagher, there is only one way to revoke it," says Sienar, with his horrible grin showing beneath his hood.
"Tavers, I have much to do. I wish to give you some instructions. One moment if you please, Gallagher," he says, gestruing towards the door.

Roan's instincts led him to that being, it seems, so make of that what you will.
Jelena, there are messages witing for you back on Roan's ship. The first is from Trorn on Coruscant. They've traced the locations and deposit boxes etc. used in those accounts isgned off by Kathya, painting a picture iof a massive network of cash secredted away for nefarious purposes (inclouding tax evasion, btw, which as ever seems innocuous but it always the best excuse to arrest everyone invovled with illegal money and then you can find out what the specific crimes are from there). More information is difficult- first of all, most of the money seems to have vanished. Secondly, most of the people invovled with hadling or koving it appear to be dead, killed recently. There seems to have been a mass criminal moivement that your investigation had not previouslty shown uo based around the distribution network.
Regardless, they have enough info to hold Kathya. The warrant has been issued.
The second message is from Ithrorn, asking you to talk to him on an extremely urgent matter that he dare not relay to yuor comms units in the field lest it be overheard.
Well, Jelena will be a little bit getting hold iof Ithrorn so that will be a clear separation if Andro moves in.

"It's nearly time," Sienar's voice comes through the doorway. "You are ready?"
"Yes, Master."
"Whatever else happens does not matter now. You just have to be around to do your part."
"Gallagher is asking about the briefcase, Master."
"The instinct of a Jedi. Well, it is no matter. If he destroys it it won't help him or anybody. So long as he does not look inside it. Listen to me carefully Tavers... do NOT let him do that. You are to do absolutely whatever you can to stop that."
"I understand, Master."
Actually, I am doubting the wisdom of my own suggestion. Sending Andro alone might be a recipe for disaster, either because he is caught out solo or because of something Sienar does...
Jelena observes Andro's excitement before trying to contact Ithrorn.
"Actually, wait," Jelena says. "Ithrorn may have more information for us. We should see what he has to contribute to our mission before acting against Kathya. Then we do this together."
