STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- City in the Clouds

"If possible...yes, I would prefer that, thank you," Rianna says.

Zaltus gives you a datapad containing information on the crime scene and its location.

"If there's nothing else, I will get those searches started," Zaltus says. "Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. Even if you never knew your family, this still must be difficult to deal with."

"No, nothing else I can think of right now, thank you..." Rianna says, taking the datapad.

She'll read through the information on the datapad.

Zaltus shows you out of his office.

"It must be said," Zaltus says. "It is eerie how closely you resemble your sister. I didn't know if you knew."

The datapad outlines that your family lived in the upper city (the towers and such seated atop Cloud City) though in the lower levels, where apartments are cheaper. It also has profiles on each of them.

Your father- Jeric Xi- is a foreman on one of the more successful gas mining platforms. He is the sole breadwinner for your family and is doing decently enough to afford the apartment in the upper city.

Your mother- Melia Xi- is a stay-at-home mother.

Your brother- Dalen Xi- works as an engineer in your father's mining operation.

Your sister- Ailsa Xi- is your twin, and aspiring to join the Wing Guard as a pilot.

This is eerie, Rianna. You have a family.

"No, I didn't know..."

Eerie indeed. Rianna's always known, logically speaking, that she does have a family that she left when the Jedi took her to be trained, but actually being faced with that fact is just really strange for her.

Anyway, she's going to try and not get distracted with that and continue reading what info is there.

It states that the Xi family was taken from their home with no trace.

...

That is pretty much it.

Useful!

Well, Rianna's going to want to search there, then...she kind of has a feeling that if Rand and Vash are still here, one of them won't be too far from there.

You go to the apartment complex where the Xis stayed, then.

When you arrive, you notice there are two cloud cars parked out front- the Wing Guard is keeping tabs on the location, even if their initial investigation is at a stand-still.

Is there anyone in them?

Rianna will head into the complex, sensing around her.

No.

One of the guards is stationed at the entrance. When you approach, he escorts you inside. The apartment is on the twentieth floor of this high complex. Even though it is tall, it is still nestled between much taller buildings.

He brings you to the apartment, where two more guards are standing watch. The fourth is inside.

"You must be the Jedi," he says. "Mind your step. They used some sort of cutting tool to open the door. Hardly subtle."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. And it was most likely a lightsaber they used," she replies. She'll step inside and take a look around.

"No one saw them leave?" she asks the guards.

He confirms that; they have turned up no witnesses. The guard finds it odd.

Rianna would find it odd if it had been anyone else but Rand involved.

"I'm not terribly surprised, but it certainly doesn't make things easy..." she says. "Has anything been found in here?"

She's going to use her senses to see if there's anything odd or out of the ordinary here.

Aside from the door being hacked through, the apartment's living area shows no sign of a struggle. The kitchen is likewise undisturbed.

"We think they left in the night," the guard says. "Their beds are unmade, except one."

"Which one?" Rianna asks, wanting to inspect everything she can.

"Erm..."

He shows you to the hallway where the bedrooms branch off from. There are four rooms.

"Have a look."

Rianna will go take a look, then.

Each room betrays who it belongs to in some way.

Your parents' room has a larger bed, and their wedding picture is on the nightstand.

Your sister's room has posters of cloud cars and recruitment papers on the desk.

Your brother's room is untidy and boyish, clothes strewn about the place.

The fourth room is totally empty with the exception of a single bed and an empty closet...

And now Rianna is entirely weirded out by the fact that she's standing in what must have been her room...

"Can I be alone for a moment?" she asks.

She wants to look around and see if there's anything that may have been left in there...she's half-expecting Rand to have left something for her to find, since he's done that before.

"Of course," the guard says.

You step into the room, with its lavender-painted walls and a single window looking out onto the street below. The bed has not been slept in for a long time, if ever; the mattress is like new. The wardrobe is empty; there is nothing hidden underneath it or behind.

There is nothing in here for you, in the sense that you are thinking.
