USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE VI (LIGHT SIDE)- Missing Links

"You were unable to deduce a possible location from your own time there?" Aurel inquires, "Not even an educated guess?"

There was nothing useful there, Aurel- the rest of the team checked the place thoroughly.

Had a train of thought I was kind of following through the character, so I'll just move on to my next question, I suppose.

_______

Aurel hesitated after a moment, then added to his line of questioning in a matter-of-fact tone, "And what of your foresight? For all your alleged power, you could not glean something from the Force? Though," the young swordsman adds as he turns to look at Roan and Xeth, seeming to speak a thought aloud as if it had only just occurred to him, "if you could I suppose you would not have found yourself where you are now."

"Well, that just shows immense ignorance both of who you are tracking, and how I came to be here. Adelmo is completely shrouded from the Force. That is the power of the Dark Side. At least I knew she existed years ago; your entire Jedi Council was utterly ignorant until last month."

Aurel frowns for a moment, looking back to the zabrak and replying, "I will admit that I have been placed in this investigation with less than perfect understanding. It was deemed important that I become a part of this investigation post haste, and I will likely speak to my comrades in detail after we are done with you." He steps closer to the window as he continues, "Even were the Council 'ignorant' as you say so arrogantly, they clearly know that action is needed, else we would not be here."

"Which brings us to the current obstacle," he says, folding his arms as he regards Saar, " you."

"You depict it as me being an obstacle," says Saar. "My point of view is different. It is simply this- you need me.

"You should consider something. Look at the manner in which Adelmo killed Lennah. Brutal, evil, skilful... almost beautiful in a way. But most importantly, subtle. Quiet. Careful. Katai held that man down and Adelmo burnt out his brain, and not only did no-one know she did it, no-one of the Republic even knew she existed.

"Now, let's test your skills. Who can see where I am going with this?"

Aurel stares hard at Saar after his retort and challenge, then takes a step back from the window, averting his gaze as his brow furrowed in thought. He would hear what the others had to say before speaking again.

"For all her hatred and power, Adelmo is still very careful to cover her tracks?" Gallagher says.

"She'd be a fool not to have done. But if she was acting like that, how come you Jedi heard about her?"

"Katai was our first contact there," Gallagher says. "Though Katai won't speak, she were able to determine where she had come from, and by doing so we found out about Adelmo. Katai wasn't hiding her existence, just what she had stolen."

"That's just one link further along though. How did you find about about Katai?"

"Aside from confrontations with her? Ascar told us," Gallagher says. "He was familiar with a culture that exhibited the same talents that Katai did, her ability to manipulate gravity at will. And that world had come into contact with Adelmo's planet, and on Thalos we were told about the war that Adelmo started."

(I cannot remember the name of the planet where the wall-walking dancers lived... though the people were the Atri'i)

"No, you still are not going far enough back. How did you even know to ask Ascar who Katai was? Why was the Council aware of her in the first place?"

(Is the fact that Gallagher had foreseen Adelmo going too far back?)

You had no idea what that meant, so that's not what he is after. When did your current mission start?

It started in the last episode, after Katai turned up during the pirate attack on Agalania, though Ithrorn was looking into things after she turned up on Cassilis.

Indeed! Are you telling him that?

Yes.

"Katai was discovered in the vaults on Cassilis," Gallagher says. "One of our agents had been researching her movements after that, though our current mission to find her and her employer did not begin until she destroyed an ancient tomb on Agalania.

"I had... visions about Adelmo prior to that, though I did not understand the meaning. And I foresaw Katai's presence on Cassilis. I'm the only one."

"So, Katai started blowing up large chunks of Republican culture. Oh, she was trying to cover up what she wss stealing, but Adelmo would have to be insane to think that you would not get on her trail sooner or later, after those displays. And you tell me that she blew up the tomb on Agalnia right in front of an enormous Jedi strike force?"

Gallagher confirms that Jedi were present on both Cassilis and Agalania; in both cases, led by Roan.
