Nar Shaddaa

Returning from Makeb was never the easiest of things, but it would happen eventually. One thing most needed was to see Watcher-5 about a certain problem with a Darth. Armor giving her the proper image of a Sith she entered the Intelligence branch of the Imperial Compound and made her way to the room that Watcher-5 was always bound to be found within.

Watcher-5 was here staring at his feeds, “Sith, you have returned.”

"Noting my presence, or have I managed to surprise you Watcher?" she asked with an lighter tone as she entered the room properly. Crossing her arms behind her back in the military style most common among Imperial's without much of a thought to it.

Stepping forward she spoke directly, "Darth Baras. It is no surprise to me that this man is still alive but I require confirmation for Darth Marr. My own search seems to point me back to you, regrettably. Though I am certain you would be the sort of man to have the information I require. Our last meeting ended in a manner that does not give me faith you will be any more helpful. I do hope you will have a different tune when it comes to this matter."

“I provided you with the exact answer you required. As for Darth Baras, it seems obvious he is alive. What confirmation does Darth Marr require?” he replies.

"That his Champion find the truth of what has transpired, and at the very least I will not rest until I am standing in the room with him to witness the man's breath," she replied as a matter of fact. Kristal's voice held a slight anger low in her tone. Concealing it as best as she was able.

"Now, if you have any information that may be of use. Now would be the time to share it."

“I have no direct evidence but I would confer with his apprentice Layne. She seems the most logical person to guide you to Baras,” Watcher 5 says.

"Something I have already seen to, Watcher," she stepped further into the room. Walking up toward the monitors as she looked between them. Screens that meant little to her, or her purpose here.

"However, Layne has not been all that forthcoming with the information I require. So I have turned to my friends in intelligence," she looked back to him as she emphasized the word.

"Friends would a be gross over statement of our current relationship. I have another asset in the field. Fixer 71 on loan to Section IX, currently on medical leave due to injuries sustained in the field. Also ear-marked by me two years ago as a Baras agent, she does good work so it stands to reason she would be headhunted," he says calmly.

"Speak with her, do her no harm. I need reliable assets."

"I have no intention of doing the woman harm," she replied, looking back to the screens for a moment.

Stepping away she moved toward the exit, "For offering something of actual significance this time, you have my thanks. Though I would find it regrettable if I were to learn you are merely sending me away to be rid of me. Good day, Watcher."

Watcher 5 returns to the data.
