Star Wars: Enemies of the Empire - The Call

[Kayda Vayawn]

Kayda was about to reply her mood of despondence filling her with self-pity and darkness when a part of her brain caught on what Brant was actually saying. She leans forward between the two spacers. "Did you say pirates? Your right that does seem odd, why would an inquisitor resort to hiring pirates?"

She turns away thinking furiously. "Abhora isn't... wasn't a part of the empire 0,at least not this empire. And imperial supplies do not always mean the empire." She talked out loud but was mainly talking to her self. Suddenly she turned back to the front of the cockpit. "How long till we get to Rhada Iota? And Gra, did you record that message about the pirates?"

[Noir]

Gra shrugged at Kayda's question.

"Huurar" he replied and reached out to manipulate the console in front of him.

"Maybe?" Brant said, semi-translating.

"Imperial supplies does not always mean Empire, but if this obscure system was in the navcomputer of an Imperial Inquisitor's ship..." Brant reminded, letting his voice trail off.

[Noir]

"Rrruaur." Gra finally said and Brant nodded.

"He didn't record the message, but we both heard it. The pirates hired to patrol the system were en route. Considering that the system was likely in the Inquisitor's Nav Computer, I think it safe to assume she is involved. So it sounds like pirates were hired for security because they didn't want the rest of the Empire or Inquisitors or some higher ups to know what they were up to." Brant explained.

"As far as our ETA..." he said as he looked over the plotted jump in the nav computer, "... looks like just a few days." Brant replied.

"Why? What's up? Is something the matter? And do you have any idea just what they were doing there?" he asked.
