STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Liberator

"Then on Triskatan is where we will put an end to things, isn't it," the Senator says, as if speaking only of facts.

The Council is perturbed by the ferocity and the skill that you report as being displayed by the Assassin that you gave chase to.

"This is no ordinary hitman trying to get a bounty," Master Windu comments. "This is someone who has received dedicated training in the art of assassination and marksmanship. A typical bounty hunter would likely need some evidence of their success, whereas this assassin you confronted intended to kill the Senator and get away. No, this person was sent.

"Did you get anything notable about his appearance that he could be traced by?"

"Nothing, he was wearing a helmet, never caught a glimpse of his face. I could probably tell you the make and model of his speeder, but odds are he's ditched it by now," Wentar replies. "This latest attempt has convinced Senator Farl that he should return to Triskatan, he's asked that I accompany him."

"From its description, it is not a model I recognize," Master Saesee Tiin says, the Master who would be familiar with such things, "but you may have better luck."

"Regardless," Windu says, "the Assassin also has funding behind him. Hitmen are bound to get hold of quality equipment to assist their hunts... but this is extreme. Concussion sensor mines, stealth attack speeder, custom blaster rifle..."

Windu sinks into thought for a moment, looking to the other Jedi Masters. Yoda is not present.

"You will accompany the Senator to Triskatan. Whoever is behind these attacks is an apparent threat to the Republic, and you must apprehend them- their Assassin and his employers. Are you still certain of their motives for attempting to end the Senator's life?"

"I am beginning to believe that the Kylugo Srum are trying to silence Senator Farl, to stop him using the Sentient Rights Committee against them... He seems obsessed with them, for reasons I'm yet to discover."

"Discover those reasons, Wentar," Windu says. "Maybe more will be found on Triskatan. Expect more information to come from the analysis lab when you arrive there."

Windu ends his communication, and you have the Council's blessing to continue your investigation into Garys Farl and to protect him from harm.

Wentar will return to Farl. "The Council has agreed to let me accompany you to Triskatan, Senator."

"Excellent!" Senator Farl says. "We leave immediately, then."

As we are leaving Coruscant for the first time since Wentar's tale began... how do you want to travel to Triskatan? I am unsure if Wentar had the Free Flier at this point, but even so you may wish to consider what type of transportation you use to reach the Senator's homeworld.

I think, for convenience sake, we agreed Wentar already has the Free Flier at this point.

Considering recent events Wentar would feel more comfortable flying the Senator there personally, in his own ship. So long as Senator Farl has no issues with it.

Senator Farl thinks that would be a great plan. The Free Flier is a privately-owned vessel that is not listed as having any real importance other than its owner being a Jedi Knight. the other way, of course, would have been public transportation, but Farl feels that you would be more secure behind the helm of your own craft.

After you move the Free Flier onto the landing pad, Emso moves all of the luggage that Senator Farl needs into your cargo bay while the Senator talks with you.

"The Senatorial Guard cannot extend their jurisdiction beyond Coruscant," he tells you, "but the Triskatan secret service will be sufficient protection, and likely more dedicated to my cause than any of these blue-shelled decorative parade jockeys! I will simply inform the Director of my need and he will supply what I need."

"All packed," Emso says. You sense he is moody.

"Let us depart, Master Jedi," the Triskatan Senator says, patting your shoulder and handing one last bag to Emso as he walks down the landing pad to your ship.

Wentar still wants to be kept up to date on Walder and Nartholen's condition, possibly get Altar to speak to them to see if they saw anything in the basement.

"Indeed, hopefully the trip should be uneventful," Wentar says, before turning to Emso. "Looks like we'll be spending more time together Emso, lets try to make the most of it."

Wentar will follow Senator Farl onto his ship and prep it for take off.

They are unconscious but on the mend, having suffered severe blaster wounds. Only their light armor saved them from total annihilation. The doctors theorize that they will be awake by the time you reach Triskatan.

Emso wordlessly nods, likely not sure on your meaning or not wanting to be sure.

The Free Flier shortly after is ready for lift off and leaves Coruscant behind, giving you a moment to take a breather and contemplate what has been happening.

Wentar feels he's a little in over his head on this one. Senator Farl has ulterior motives, Emso seems to know them, but dislikes them at the same time... Someone wants Farl dead, possibly because of whatever it is Farl is up to and Wentar is fairly sure it has something to do with the Kylugo Srum...

Emso pulling a gun on Wentar has definitely shaken his trust in the Senators Aid though, but it also makes Wentar think what ever Farl is up to is fairly extreme... Perhaps Wentar should have let the Council know about Senator Farl spreading misinformation.

There is no tangible proof of it being misinformation. The Council would want you to have the facts to support it. And if these assassins have come from the Kylugo Srum... maybe there is more fact to what Farl says than what the other Senators think.

So you believe Emso knows what Senator Farl is up to, at least. How do you plan on getting him to divulge it?

That is a good point, only time can tell at this stage.

It'll be tricky, but if Wentar is good at anything it would be talking someone into telling him what he wants to know. Wentar will just have to chip at it bit by bit.

Cautious chipping will take time, and it's possible that Emso might have another collapse with whatever stress he is under. But really it is all you can do at this point.

Anything else for Wentar to consider?

Not really, Wentar has to get use to protecting the Senator at a different location but he'll have more people working with him, yes?

Wentar might also talk to Farl about the Kylugo Srum at some point, just have to find a way to bring it up.

Lastly I'll want to get an update on what Altar has uncovered, the info about the tapes and the Senatorial Guards story about what happened in the basement.

Senator Farl seems to have implied that you will have greater support, yes.

Getting Farl to talk about the Kylugo Srum may also help, but so far he has proven resistant to anything else you have talked to him about. You may have to do a little more than chat with Farl to find out what his motives are.

Updates will come when you reach Triskatan.

You mean start going through his files? Perhaps follow him around?

It is a start. You would have to figure a means of doing so without alerting him.

With no intrusion and very little fix it, it'll be a tough nut to crack.
