A small shuttle burst from hyperspace above Thyferra. Alex held lightly onto the control. No pomp or circumstance, no big fancy ships. She was alone with the exception of a co-pilot astromech. Carrick would not meet on a world with a Temple, and it was had to blame him. The ISC Secretary of Defense had a spotted history with the Order. That was to say nothing of the government he served. Alex understood the ISC’s position, but times were slowly changing. She had managed to patchwork together a working alliance between the Order, the New Republic, and some worlds within the FWA. If she could manage to thaw relations with the ISC that might give the Sith pause. Her goals shifted rapidly. Removing the Sith seemed less and less possible but a temporary truce would by them time. She just needed a big stick.
Alex had taken the necessary privacy precautions to hopefully ensure the meeting remained private. She wore ordinary clothing in favor of typical robes. Synthweave black pants and lose blouse. The Morellian Jedi had set the shuttle down at on obscure space port and chosen a middle of the road restaurant to meet. She prayed the tabloids would be finally kept at bay. Out of extreme caution she wrapped the Force around her face until she was seated at the table.
Now, all she had to do was wait. Alex had meant it when she told Carrick she would help find President Throne without a favor in return. She did not intent to ask any favors now. What she wanted was just a conversation. A chance to show him, and the ISC, the Order learned from the mistakes of the past. Oren had done some truly foolish things but slowly others had repaired those mistakes. She just needed a chance.
