Am I Sith? [MM4]

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr slipped into the side-compound when she ensured she was not a subject of curiosity for other denizens of the Imperial space. Through subsequent clearances, she proceeded to the desk officer.

"Moyr Ahaya wishes to speak with Watcher-5."

[Watcher 5]

Watcher 5 is looking at a globe of Nar Shaddaa and trouble regions and looking at streams of data standing in silence. Moyr is ignored for the moment as the man stares at the data streams quietly calculating in his mind.

Finally after a long moment of silence he says, “Sith, what brings you hear?”

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Being brusque? And I had considered a small apology." She mused. "I have business, of course. Several issues. I expect you'll find some time for me." She observed the globe.

[Watcher 5]

“If I deem your questions and inquiries of interest we shall see. Twi’lek, lethan, Sith trained, questionable allies. Even more questionable Lord. Ties to Mandalorians and Intelligence, no true allegiance to either,” he says aloud.

“Typical.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

Moyr chose to play than to become incensed.

"You've just provoked one. I wonder what you find so questionable about my Lord."

[Watcher 5]

“He does not exist, so either he is dead or you have a patron that wishes to remain nameless. The animosity between you and Lord Zhorrid is obvious, which points to a connection given her rather abundant abandonment issues it leads to a single point you share the same… master,” Watcher 5 states.

“Rather obvious, to me anyways.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I am glad that this is obvious to you, Watcher-5. It spares me some beating around the bush. It is probably equally obvious to you that the emboldenment of Lord Zhorrid is related to the recent relative absence of that master. Who, if I am not mistaken, happens to be your superior. Unless you've also used that absence to seek greener fields for your loyalty. If such a shift is not the case, as I still operate at his pleasure and behest, I expect your cooperativeness. You can keep being an arrogant prick though, I find your defiant attitude refreshing."

[Watcher 5]

“It’s not arrogance simply knowledge. Imperial Intelligence operates in a vacuum, we answer the Minister though in truth all real business is handled by Keeper. Darth Jadus insulates himself from the day to day,” he replies.

“His vanishing act has not impeded our operation in truth I think this is the preferred methodology of our joint superior.”

“I don’t play games of loyalty Sith, sides shift endlessly. It is the work that matters. The data and understanding the data that matters; Lord Zhorrid would be a very different overseer, Imperial Intelligence would suffer for it. I will have to recalibrate my calculations to keep that possibility in mind,” he adds.

“Black Star was an unexpected move, curious.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

"The unexpected tends to attract undue attention, not just yours. I will have them deliver something onto my ship later today. Once it happens, I want you to double the monitoring of it both at Mezenti and at Jiguuna if I fly there, and prevent intrusion or sabotage. I am confident that security of this load is important to the Minister."

Moyr nodded. She was getting accustomed to this Watcher's manner.

"Darth Jadus' methodology notwithstanding, I have reasons to believe he might be in trouble. Lord Zhorrid has already assumed his death. I want to know if you have an emergency protocol that would help finding and contacting him, or at least can approximate his latest whereabouts and plans."

[Dapper Dog]

“I always have contingency protocols. I can’t help you though, not without you helping me first. Do not get upset, Sith. Your assistance in this matter is not compulsory but if you wish to find your master I have methods… or I did, but I cannot recall them,” Watcher 5 responds.

He taps a button on the console and white noise begins to fill the room, “Now we have privacy. If you wish to reach your Master, there is a way but it requires information that I cannot forcibly access within my mind. It is infuriating to know that your mind is not your own. Assist me with breaking down those blocks and you will have a means to find Jadus.”

“I require your specific skills and access to achieve optimal success,” Watcher 5 finishes.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Let's do it. Tell me what needs to be done." Moyr realised that jamming could only be temporary, so she didn't waste time on speeches. "I need to enter your mind and find it?"

[Dapper Dog]

Watcher 5 says, "Do be mindful of what you do in there. I am no good to anyone if my mind is... damaged."

[Moyr Ahaya]

She nodded, approaching.

"Don't worry, I like clockwork."

She focused and reached out with the power of the Dark Side. She encountered his composure and sense of duty, however, as obstacles. Before overcoming them, she tapped into the power ingrained in her awareness she had discovered on Yavin, tapping into the pathways through the Force that may have once been trailed by Naga Sadow the Artificer.

There is a boy in a white room and a single door. The room has a steel table and a single datapad on that table. The door is seamless with the room and only the outline of it barely makes it visible.

“Breaking down this door is impossible for me, but perhaps not for you. This is an unorthodox undertaking outside my realm of expertise. I suspect this was placed her at some point during my service, a conditioned mental block to deny me access to sectors of my own memory. Within those sectors is the knowledge I could use to aid you, Sith.”

The boy looks around and adds, “This is simply a mental construct to better convey the infinite expanses of my mind.”

OOC: Destiny used and acknowledged.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"I see. I am not surprised the operatives are conditioned like this. Probably someone holds the key, but we don't have it. Rather than barging through, I would like to pick them. But it requires finding the lock..." She approached the door and began to examine its surface in search for irregularities. "How do you know or guess what's behind them? Do you remember anything from the time before the door were installed?"

[Dapper Dog]

“It isn’t that I do not remember it is simply that I cannot conceive of what is beyond that door. I don’t even see a door, I only know that this room is finite but I assume there is a door. You are not conditioned so you see what my unconscious mind knows that I can’t perceive,” the boy replies.

“I can understand that a door exists, but that does not eliminate the fact that I can’t perceive the reality of that existence.”

OOC: Skullduggery or Coercion at Hard to break the lock, you can add Force dice.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"You cannot turn your senses toward your mind. There is only a conscious reason. But I indeed can project mine." Moyr's dark tendrils found the lock and insinuated themselves into it, the Force aligning into a makeshift key. It wasn't clicking at first, but Moyr focused harder, then shifted it.

MM4. Opening Mental Door. Skulduggery. +1 Dark Pip (Mask): 2eP+1eA+1eF+3eD 1 failure, 2 advantage, 1 Dark Side


[2 Dark Pips for 2 successes: 1 success, 2 advantages]

[Watcher 5]

The door rips open as she forces the dark side into his mind and shatters the locks put in place… there is darkness on the other side and then they are back in the Intelligence Chamber with the white noise.

Watcher 5 picks up a data pad and taps into the keys and says, “I need these chemicals, with this I can create a cocktail to hypercharge your mind so to speak. It should momentarily strengthen the processes that generate Force energy theoretically.”

“It is dangerous, but using the connection to your Master, it could work.”

He adds, “The survival rate was low, full disclosure.”

[Moyr Ahaya]

Once she adjusted to the quick ejection from the Watcher-5's mind, she leaned in and looked at the list, trying to assess how difficult they would be to procure. "You'll get them."

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: It varies but purchasing them would run 1500 credits or so, might be able to find cheaper but that takes a Streetwise check at a minimum.

[Moyr Ahaya]

OOC. Would it be possible to purchase them from Javagus? Price is acceptable, but I would like quality to improve the chances of success.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC. Would it be possible to purchase them from Javagus? Price is acceptable, but I would like quality to improve the chances of success.

OOC: Sure sounds thematic.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Time to call one of my questionable associates." She took the mask off, breathed several times and chose the comm number of Javagus Khan.

[Javagus Khan]

The comm beeps for a few moments before Javagus answers it.

"Mornin', miss Syndulla." He sounded a bit rougher-for-the-wear. "How can I help you this fine mornin'?"

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Good morning, Mr Khan. I hope you're having a fine day. There is a shortlist of specific high-value chemicals I would need for private purposes. If you have them at your disposal, we could make a quick deal. May I send you the list so you could check their immediate availability?" She sounded pretty much like before.
