The time had come to make good on his promise. After having three different prospectors assess some areas on Arda II, there were more than a few sites that seemed promising for his purposes. Nothing that the prospector would have been excited about, mind you, but locations that could work for establishing a hidden base. Feeling somewhat like a real estate agent, Zack had spent several weeks putting together a list of locations with different positives and negatives for each spot; some more defensible, hidden, serene, or expansive. He wasn't sure what the Jedi would want to establish in this system, but he hoped at least one location would be suitable to the Ishi Tib. Zack had yet to get a hold of the maps they were after, so he was somewhat hesitant to contact the Jedi without them. Some part of him hoped perhaps the Jedi would have some ideas for getting a hold of those maps, because his current idea was dangerous, more so even than his previous meeting with the Grandmaster. He might have been overthinking things as he occasionally did. Sometimes the simplest approach was the most effective.
He'd chosen Arda II specifically when searching for base locations. When he had helped take the Arda system for the Sith, Arda II seemed to be less willing to join the Empire based on their leader's body language. Perhaps the populace would be willing to help conceal Jedi presence on the world if they weren't so keen on joining the Empire. Zack had told the Jedi where to land: an abandoned docking station that was actually only a brief stroll away from the first location he had in mind: a large cave tucked into a rocky portion of the surrounding forest. Zack had arrived in a requisitioned Kaba-class Shuttle wearing a sleek, black suit with red belt and lapels, saber hilt nestle in a black holster hanging from his side - something fit to represent the Arda system while conducting 'Sith' business. Until the Jedi arrived, Zack would whistle some old Serennian tunes while pacing with his hands behind his back. The Jedi wasn't late by any means, but Zactar was generally anxious about the whole affair.
