Roth

[Hellcat]

Roth is escorted out of his cell to an interogation room. One of the officers comes in and immediately shows Roth a filmsi with the description of the Raptor and some of those aboard. He notes it is missing Ali, Reylan, Giric, Ailyn, the KAWD, and Cailum on it. In fact the only ones described on it are himself, Syllri, Daevon, and their former teammate Be'aal. It also lists them as having been identified with slicing into Possel's computer system on Exis Station. The bulletin lists himself and Syllri as two lesser Sith and Be'aal as a Krath agent. And Daevon as some sort of Sith warbeast. Looking at the date on the flimsi he realizes it was sent out around the time the team last left Exis Station. But why not mention Reylan, Giric, Cailum, or the KAWD as they were present then?

"So, you wanna explain what you're doing here on Taris?" The officer asks. "We recieved this months ago about your little foray to Exis Station. What are your Sith masters after?"

Roth sighs. "I do not have any Sith ANYTHING...'masters' or otherwise. I am Roth Skelnor, a Jedi from the Academy on Ossus. You may contact the faculty there to verify my identity and mission.

"My colleagues and I are in fact trailing a group of Sith. We have had several encounters with them so far, but each time they have managed to escape because they have their Krath allies to aid them. Wherever they go, they do as they have done here and deceive the local populace, who become unwitting dupes to aid the Sith in their plans."

[Hellcat]

"So you're here to decieve us? For what purpose?" the man asks, not believeing Roth's a Jedi.

Roth looks at the flimsi again It strikes him as odd that there's a description of the Raptor and the team that first went to Exis Station on that very first trip, but no mention of any of the new members from the second trip.

"Sir," Roth begins, patiently. "I know you are simply doing your job and trying to protect your people. However, you are not listening to a word I say; otherwise you would make the call to confirm what I have said. I am not here to deceive you. Speaking of, however, exactly where did you get your intelligence? And do you have any idea of the time stamp?"

[Hellcat]

The man points to the flimsi. Roth notes the time stamp is from when the team left Exis Station a few months ago. Which again raises the question as to why Giric, Reylan, Cailum, and the KAWD are not listed in the description of those serving aboard the Raptor.

"We recieved that some time ago as you can see, Sith. Sent out from Exis Station to all major law enforcement agency in the known galaxy. Looks like you and your Sith and Krath frieds weren't as sneaky as you thought. What, the Sith and Krath didn't have anyone better to send. Or were all their best agents already on assignment so they had to send the bottom of the bucket?"

Roth looks at the flimsi for a few minutes longer and something begins to disturb him. Obvioulsy the flimsi itself is a printout, but that's not the disturbing thing. It's something that happened the first time the team visited Exis Station. Something that got to Possel.

"And from whom did you get this flimsi? From where and whom did it actually originate?"

Roth ponders back to Possel's, to the events that transpired. He knows there were more people on the team than are on the flimsi, but for the moment he holds this piece of information back. His mind whirls as he thinks of how he might possibly use it to free himself and his team...

[Hellcat]

"As you can see, this was sent from Exis Station, as already said. Now, why are you really here?"

Roth thinks back to the first time the team was on Exis Station. He remembers the game of hibaac he played with Possel for information on the man who turned out to be a Krath but who was impersonating the senator's son. It suddenly dawns on him that Possel was agitated by the information confirming the Krath had been Yette. But that information had been sliced into Possel's systems to throw the team off from the man's true identity. And that there had been others hired to do it. Possel had found it out only after the team had left with the Krath.

Roth realizes that the flimsi may very well be for real and tat the Taris Civil Authority believes it. Which makes his situation all the more tricky because the interogator clearly doesn't believe a word he says in his defense.

"Yes sir, I can see WHERE it came from. However, you keep dodging telling me from whom it originated. Are you sure of the source? Of their integrity?" And why do you keep refusing to contact the Jedi Academy to authenticate our identities? You will notice I've refrained from offering the names of any Masters there so you won't think I have a mole there. Please, feel free to call them. Ask for any of the faculty. I am happy to wait while you do so.

"And by the way, if you actually know anything about the Sith, they are enslaved by their emotions. Were I actually a Sith, I would be stark raving mad right now because you refuse to believe me. I would be railing against my bonds, cursing you and your family, and plotting a way out of here involving the most damage I could cause. Instead, I am cooperating fully. I am patiently explaining to you who I am, and offering you the means to verify what I say. Is there a particular reason you are refusing to do so? Are you yourself in league with the Sith?"

[Hellcat]

"Why would I associate with you, Sith scum," the man says. "No one on Taris would associate with scum like you. But you'll soon learn that after you've had time to think about what you Sith did wrong coming to Taris pretending to be Jedi."

The man leaves the room. A minute later a pair of guards come in and escort Roth back to his cell. As he's being taken away Roth catches another couple of guards escorting Ali out of a seperate interogation room. Before he can say anything to her he's whisked off down a seperate corridor.
