Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi

[possum]

Ah, the life of a sci-fi fan who wants to be spoiler-free. It's almost like you have to go into exile a week or two before the product is released if you want to remain that way.

Try as he might, there isn't any official records of the pirate ships being spotted in the neighboring system in the past ten years. If they were refitted nearby, it was either by someone in cahoots with the pirates, or bribery plaid a part in removing the vessels from the paperwork.

 

[Ambrus]

Lorem takes a half step forward to signal that he has something further to say. Nodding to the ghostly woman standing before the group, the young neti rights himself to then speak in his deep baritone voice. "Grand Matriarch, I am Jedi padawan Lorem Rūt, Anariel's peer. If I may, it is my understanding that the pirates have had to disembark from their vessels during their raids to enter, search and empty various buildings in your system including several high-security banks. Although I'm aware that your population normally retreats into shelters before and during raids, hasn't it ever occurred that a stray individual, droid or security recorder on one of the system's six worlds has caught sight of the pirates once they've disembarked? Have the pirates left no clues in their wake that might indicate their race and numbers? Who are these pirates?"

 

[Dire Lemming]

Disapointed in his search, Yeshua returns to the others and listens silently so as not to disturb the surrect conversasion.

I'm really glad that you all are thinking of these things such as droid and holocam recordings, because they slipped my mind... I may be forced to scramble and pull the answers out of thin air after a couple hours of brainstorming, but it helps me to get the full details in place for later events. Thank you, I really mean it.

Grand Matriarch Lewernis nods at Lorem's reasoning. "For some reason, all of the security holocams completely go out when the robbers enter the buildings. We get a few image of three--sometimes as many as four or five--human or near human beings and then we just get static."

Make a Knowledge: Jedi Lore check, please

 

[Ambrus]

"What about exterior or long-range security recorders; are they likewise affected? Could we please see the recordings you do have of these individuals? Have any forensic investigations been conducted at the raid sites?"

OOC: Lucky roll. Knowledge (Jedi Lore) 28. Please put the results of the roll in a spoiler block.

[sblock]The method is Force-based in nature, and is relatively easy to do, your Master confirms. He has not taught the method to you personally, but you are very aware that the ability exists.[/sblock]

"It will take some time for me to acquire the images from my secretary and then forward them to you. The exterior cameras were targetted as well. I estimate that it will be about an hour before you recieve what images that we do have. They are human, that I can tell you.

As to the forensic evidence, the fingerprints that we do have don't match any criminal records that we have. We've contacted the authorities in the next system only to get the same results. Aside from this piracy raid, they're clean. The IDs we've been able to get on the pirates are those that were killed when we did fight them. The dead were from various planets in our system.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Yeshua frowns, in thought. "In that case Grand Matriach, were you not able to learn anything from the reletives of the deceased?"

 

[possum]

"Nothing that could help us in gaining more information about the pirates."

 

[Dire Lemming]

Yeshua nods, "I see..." he trails off as he thinks up another question "What about the individuals themselves? What were their past criminal histories? Were they all humans?"

OOC: By the way, what does the Grand Matriarch look like anyway? All we know is that se has dark hair. She could be a wookie!

 

[Ambrus]

"We will be thankful to receive the recordings as soon as you are able to make them available to us. We'd likewise welcome whatever forensic evidence your investigators have manage to collect over the years." The young neti pauses to consider the matter at hand. "So some of the pirates are human natives of your own system. That would appear to be a significant fact. May I ask why this information wasn't included in any of your official requests for aid?"
