STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION - Desecration

Galder pops out his blaster and aims it at Rianna's head.

"Let me see what you're writing or your brains go all over the comm unit," Galder snaps. "I'm in better shape than you are after that fight out there. Don't try me."

She winces and takes a step back.

"Rand wanted me to report on your actions...to spy on you," she replies, glaring at you. "That's why he wanted me to come along. I wanted no part of this."

Galder laughs and puts away the gun.

"Alright," Galder says. "You're going to be a good little Padawan and do as the Master says? Fine. Get out of the way, I'm writing the report."

She goes pale; you've obviously hit a sore spot there.

"Do you think I want to do anything he says?" she snaps back. She doesn't move at all.

"No," Galder says. "Now move over."

"No," Rianna states. "I don't want to do any of this, but I'm not going to just step aside because you say so. He's nearly killed me enough times, I'd rather not add another instance to the list."

"HAH! Listen, I don't fear the old squid. You shouldn't either. He's no much for me."

"I wish it were just that simple..."

She moves away, though, leaning against the wall in the tiny room.

Galder will send a report back to Rand that says, in essence, that Galder was killed by bounty hunters on Tatooine, so Rianna is going on alone.

Rianna raises an eyebrow.

"Do you really think he'll believe that?"

"No," Galder says before going off to the bunk to sleep as the ship takes off.

Rianna watches as Galder leaves, before sending a short message of her own.

--

It's a few days before the ship will arrive on Iragez, is there anything in particular that you want to do in that time?

Not really... Galder doesn't know anything about Iragez, right?

Galder doesn't. Someone else might have some information, though.

Taiza isn't going to talk, does Rianna know anything? Or Rura?

Taiza won't share the actual coordinates, but she may be willing to share what she does know about the planet itself, if you ask.

Galder will ask her what she knows about Iragez Prime, then.

She tells you that at one point - thousands of years before - the planet had been a lush jungle planet, dotted with many active volcanoes. There also had supposedly been some sort of Sith stronghold there. Obviously she doesn't know what they were up to there; no one knows, but rumor has it there were some pretty heavy-duty experiments going on. All life on the planet was wiped out when several of the volcanoes erupted at once.

No one really goes there, and the few people who know where it is tend to avoid it, because there are rumors it's haunted.

"Haunted? Any truth to those rumors that you know of? Any stories?"

"Well, like I said, most people avoid it. Every so often you might hear of some adventurous treasure hunter deciding to see what they can find, but they either vanish or go mad."
