As Ryunosuke continued his flight to the Jedi Temple, his R7 unit, R7-F3, made a few curious blips and bleeps. Ryo looked down to his translator.
"Your trip was successful, I pressume?"
"Yes, in fact, it was very successful," said Ryo with a bit of pride in his voice. "I found some information that could really help the Jedi Council." As he was nearing the Jedi Temple, he activated his comlink again to the its hangar frequencies.
"This is aircraft 3379, requesting permission to land."
"Hey Ryo! How ya doing?" said a familiar voice over the com.
"Hi Reahn! I'm doing fine. How about you?"
"Oh same old, same old. We don't have any room in the hangar at the moment, but a transport is scheduled to leave in a few minutes."
"Gotcha. Call me when that happens." Ryo cirlced around the Jedi Temple, marveling the magnificent view. His comlink activated again.
"You're clear to land Ryo."
"Thanks." Ryo slowed down, opened the landing gear and set down.

Vin reached the temple after a few minutes and found Neb waiting nearby the entrance.
"Sorry I am a bit late. There were a few...commplications. We can talk about that later though. Any idea on what our new assignments will be?"
Vin was not happy with the way recent events had been going. Something was very wrong and he felt he may have to bring it up to the council.
"Why can't I shake the feeling something is verywrong here" Vin thought to himself.

THe Dark Lorc strode towards the enterance of the REpuplican Palace. He turned towards the enterance to the Senatorial Chambers, and a protocol droid stopped him.
"Hello sir, I am G35, please hold."
The Dark lord stood silently.
the droid replied, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Please tell Senator Nevara of Alderaan that an old friend is waiting."
One moment, I must retina scan you sir."
THe Lord subjected to the retina scan and the swivel doors opened. He walked into the chamber, here for the first time in 3 years.

"Well, Im stuck.... as usual... protecting the ambassador. Some new dude, from New Aldaron or something. You are the lucky b*****d. You get to go and basically relax, cause all you are doing is testing out the new starfighters for the jedi. So once again, I get the boys, and you get the toys," Neb responded, a little bit discerned. He handed a small com recording that played out a short, 2 minute response to vin. Not really worth anything to anybody else, it mere stated the job, before fizzling out.
"Seeing as how you have time, and I got an hour before reporting to the Senate, what are you planning to do? I'm going to a nice little place called Nook's Cranny. Good food, and a show. Wanna come?"

"Sure, why not. I need to tell you what took me so long anyway." Vin said.
Vin proceeded in telling Neb everything that went on before he got to the temple. He mentioned everything he felt, and everything he saw both with the five senses and the force.

Angel arrived at the palace, and was stopped at the enterance by a droid. Not being allowed to enter, she asked if the droid would take a message. After describing the Dark Lord without giving away who he is, gave the droid the message to give him as he leaves. " Dex's Cafe at 9. He'll know what it means. " Angel then left, hoping the Jedi would show up at the cafe as planned, and preferably alone. " If he's an apprentice, there's a good chance the Jedi he's under could be there too. But what does the Dark Lord want with him anyways? " Angel thought to herself, as she went sight-seeing for a little bit.

The Dark Lord was about to go through a second security clearance, when the guard droid who had performed the retina scan on him arrived.
"sir, I have a message for you sir."
"From whom?" Imperius asked.
"She left no name sir, I would descrie her as a young human female in her late teens, sir. Judging from the lust in the eyes of the passerbyers sir, I would assume that she is considered to be rather attractive, sir"
Imperius recognized her immediately. Angel. his soon to be apprentice.
"What was the message?"
"It was rather simple sir. The message was simply 'Dex's Cafe. 9:00'."
Imperius glanced at his wrist chronometer. The liquid crystal display blared the time in a vibrant shock blue. 6:30.
Imperius was amazed that it was so early in the morning. He realized that it must have been only hours before that he had stood aboard the shuttle, bombarded by the Diablo , meeting the girl, and now, meeting his good friend Senator Nevara of New Alderaan. The time difference was great considering that the last planet he had been on was Wentu, an ice planet that the sun never set upon, that had 3 hour days.

Several dozen levels below the struggles of the sith and jedi, in a very slummy and seedy area of Coruscant's underbelly, Cale was arguing with a scruffy looking human street merchant.
"Listen, I want to see some proof of your work before I do any buying." Cale said.
"you seek me out! not need to show proof of work! reputation alone proof! click click!"
this guy's accent is ticking me off.Cale thought. "ok pal, listen. prove to me you're Nici the Specialist, and maybe I'll reconsider walking away with this thick credstick of cash."
"Han Solo. got him into the academy! not even imps knew his back ground!clack clack!"
"prove it."
"don't have to. got in didn't he? long time criminal Solo was. they let him right in. no questions asked. no more talk about Solo. buy yes? Click click."
"I want proof"
No proof. do not disclose data on customer. run me out they would! Nici stabs no one in the back. Buisness has been bad enough!"
Cale sighed. "Fine. I want a Coruscant Weapons Permit. a damned good one. Last thing I need is to get busted by the CoruscaCops."
"Only Make good ones! No need retina change? Scar Removal?"
"no just the weapon permit. I don't plan on staying here long. like maybe a bounty hunter or plainclothes detective or-"
"Done. here." the man handed him an insanely well crafted weapon's liscence, giving him special dispensation to bear arms on coruscant. the little man had done this in less time than it took to blink. Cale scrutinized the card extensively, looking for any flaws that could catch him in the a** if he tried to pass the card off as real. he found none. "Sith spit! You are the Specialist!"
"Told You! No one litsens to Nici! Told you the first time i did! Now pay up Spacer!"
Cale handed over three quarters of the bounty he collected. he placed the ID Card in his pocket and bid farewell to the ID Forger. as he headed for a surface side lift tube, a devaronian motioned for his attention.
"Spacer! hey. C'mere, got some data for you."
"Not interested fella."Cale kept walking.
"Its about that thug you were after in Dex's place.seems you weren't alone in going for him. and the competition ain't happy."
Cale stopped. "how much?"
"one hundred credits."
"a PowerPak."
"done." The Devaronian snagged the ammo pack cale tosed him and divulged his info."A trandoshan with an R2 unit is looking for you. aparently he had been trailing your mark when you up and lifted him. the dosh isn't happy and is looking for you. thinks you're Black Sun. thats all he knows. that and you're human."
Sith! He thinks I'm Black Sun?" This worried Cale considerably. no way in hoth did he want to be tied up with the Black Sun Syndcate. that alone would earn him a death mark in a dozen sectors. on the plus side, there's no way the Dosh would find him. Coruscant was a human homeworld. it would be like finding the proverbial nano chip in the Star Destroyer. all he had to do was lay low and wait for a ticket off world. he hadn't commited any crimes yet, and aside from busting that rodian, he had deliberately been avoiding anybody that might draw attention. plus the law was technically on his side. thanks to his new licence he could legaly shoot the Dosh if he came after him. wait a minute, how many dosh were on this planet?"what else can you tell me about him?"
"dark scales and eyes, short. speaks a strained basic."
"thanks for the info, I'll keep my eyes open."
The devaronian gave a sharp toothed grin."Clear skies outlaw." he said as he disapeared in to the alley he came from.
"uh...thanks, I think."

Tssirk emerged from the crumbling building, Zorro folllowing faithfully behind him, whistling a comment.
He pulled out his datapad and scanned through the list the authorities had loaded onto it for him.
Zorro beeped, and one particular face lit up. With a heavy claw, Tssirk punched up the information.
Zorro whistled at him reproachfully and rocked back and forth on his legs.
Tssirk stared at him for a moment, then clicked off the datapad and reattached it to his belt.

TThe Dark Lord walked up to the door of Senator Nevara's chambers. He let the holo-cam scan him and beam his hologram up to Nevara.
Finally, a young senator with white-blonde hair opened the door. He hel a look of shock on his face and then,
"Phoenix! YOu're alive? I haven't heard from you in..forever!"
"Good to see you again, Para. How are you my friend?"
"I'm doing great. I was appointed Senator a few months back. It's reall fun."
"Well thats great Para," Imperius said
"Yeah, Listen Phoenix, i have to get back to work, but If you'll meet me for breakfast at say.. 9:00 at Nook's Cranny, we can talk this over."
"sounds good to me Para, I'lls ee you there."
The Dark Lord shut the door, and cursed in the hallway. 9:00. He was to meet the Jedi then.
He pulled out his comlink and paged Angel.
"ANgel, I cannot make it to Dex's Cafe. Finish your job, and go by yourself."

Neb walked into Nook's Cranny, accompianied by Vin.
"Sounds like you found yourself a date.... to get expelled from the Jedi. You know love clouds judgement, and anything that she does to seduce you sounds like someone is pulling the strings. I'm a consular, I play bodyguard. We don't play musketeers with the Sith, that is not our job. We are negotiators. And you have a chance to be what you can be. If you wish, I'll come with you to the cafe. The senator I do not have to meet with until tomorrow, really. And plus, what would they do? Give me an assignment to Hoth? But seriously, if you want some backup, i'll accompany you until you see fit..." He proposed.

Angel was both suprised, and yet not suprised by the message she received. She would have to bring the Jedi to the Dark Lord on her own. Using force wouldn't work, since he's a Jedi and most likely mean with the lightsaber, as opposed to Angel's level which is lacking quite a bit. " Confrontation won't work... What might...? " she wondered. " And if he's a Jedi, he might have the other one with him too if he thinks it's a trap. " She decided to get her mind of it for the time being and continued sight-seeing.

Vin looked to at his former master and nodded, "That may be a good idea. I am not expecting trouble but I still should not underestimate my enemy...If I can even call her that."
Vin thought for a while. She would undoubtedly notice the fact that he was young and that he was barely a knight. "She might even think I am an apprentice!!!" Vin continued along that thought and decided to have Neb in hiding as backup would not work, she would wonder where the other jedi was and would suspect a trap. That means if Neb were to go then he would have to be with Vin in the open.
"I think it would be best if you came with me." Vin said finally.

Neb nodded, and noticed the announcement on CNN.
"Well, this makes life much easier. The senator died, bless his heart, but now my schedule is quite open. Now, as the saying goes, Lighten up and look on the Bright Side of Life" He finished, cracking a wide smile.
