Lorem remains standing in the clearing while he works on his datapad; seemingly content to remain in their sylvan surroundings rather than head back towards the library so soon. Using his long twig-like fingers the neti deftly traces the features of the two men as he remembers them, all while listening to his companions' exchange. When satisfied that the images are accurate, the padawan pulls his comlink from a pocket and attaches the device to the larger datapad. Punching in the Great Library's communication network frequency into the device, Lorem uploads the two images to the facility's powerful central computer to initiate a facial-feature recognition and identification search of all Republic databases. Leaving instructions to cross-reference the results with the Farnost system civic database, the neti sets his datapad aside to join in on the discussion.
"I believe you're correct Kestrel, without a destination in our sights we've nowhere to start. Unfortunately, as I mentioned, it seems my plan is somehow flawed. In our vision it appeared that, if we were to go directly to the raid site, that we'd be bound to fail to covertly stow aboard their vessels during the raid as we intended. Instead the vision seemed to indicate that we'd end up in an armed conflict with the pirates taking shots at us with their blasters. I'm uncertain how we might go about changing that outcome to something more desirable..." The neti bows his head, seemingly content to contemplate his own roots.
A soft chirping sound issuing from Lorem's datapad indicates that the Library's mainframe has completed its assigned search. Taking the device in hand, the neti quickly scans the readout before relating the results to his companions. "It seems our mysterious swordsman isn't listed in any Republic database; or possibly my rendering of him wasn't sufficient to make a match. Unfortunate...
The statue in our vision however would appear to be that of one Admiral Saul Lekine, an acclaimed hero of the Great Hyperspace War. One such statue is listed in the Farnost civic database as being located in a settlement named 'Fairworth' on Farost 3. Well, it would appear that we now know the site of the pirates' next raid. Now what to do with this information... Suggestions?"

Yeshua can't seem to think of a response to Kestrel so he instead turns to Lorem, "Hm... well, despite the content of the vision, I still think we had better go there even if it's for no other reason than to spy on the pirates. We can't just avoid going to the settlement because of the vision. Even if we do not attempt to sneak aboard one of the ships we'll at least be able to see a bit more about the pirates, and the way they woek."

Voda thinks for a moment: "May be coordinate eforts with the local militia we could be able to set an ambush and capture the leader... Without their captain the pirates may be willing to depart the system... Or we could negotiate with them with the release of the leader... Or we could set traps and mines in the local banks after evacuating the city, and terminate the problem with a big blast... Quite primitive, but simple and efficient."

I thought so too, but Yeshua has nothing else to say yet.

Yeshua stares at Voda incredulously, and has to consciously restrain himself from yelling at him, "I- I don't think using explosives is a good idea... There would be significant damage to the surounding area, and there's no guaranteeing their effectiveness. They would also only destroy anything that was already on the ground. The pirates that remained in orbit would likely deal harsh retribution to the Farnostians for such a blatant display of defiance. I think we should try to resolve this with as little loss of life as possible."

"May be you are right." She blinks his big eyes, like he didn't understand his peer "But there would be only the looses of the pirates who landed..." then he finally understand Yeshuas words "Oh you mean for the retribution! Well that's a problem..." She lift his shoulders a bit. "What should we do now?"
