Impending the Divulgence of Resources

The reports were pouring in, it wasn't even a full twenty-four hours since the attack on the Empress Teta Temple that the long dead Jhon Cordatus made a debut appearance over the holonet. He had not even received clearance to proceed to Empress Teta in order to survey damages as well as his clearance was over-ruled after security found an explosive device disguised as a lightsaber. Experts reported to him the damage could have catastrophic.

The Grandmaster held his data pad as he shifted through information, larger holo projection panels floated before him, as security data poured in. The hacking of the Holo Net through the temple's computer techies on high alert; he already had a team who were working on the servers and they surely would have caught anything and isolated it if something fishy swam through.

Another reporter broke in with breaking news about the history of former Grandmaster Cordatus, bring forth his early reckless history with the incident at Ardos and Oro Prime. A muscle twitched under Sigur's eye, he wasn't quick to believe Jhon Cordatus was alive, especially knowing that it was Sith work behind the announcement. Anyone could alter images and pretend they were someone else, anyone half as smart as a holo-drama director. Nevertheless, Sigur wasn't one who came to conclusion with mere hearsay.

Two chimes rung at Sigur's desk. They were very distinct, a private comm line only very few knew, he closed down the windows that floated over the holo projector any previous information wiped from the comm system before Sigur answered.
Standing before the holo camera, he answered the call; the signal from him would not broadcast from the Tython temple, but instead the signal was binged across the galaxy. Anyone trying to trace it would end up retaining some backwater world.

The transmission was from someone familiar and Sigur felt a knot in his stomach, he wasn't expecting a response this soon. He pulled on the Force to calm him, he was certain he would need some 'unwinding' time after all these incidents die down.

"I hope things on your end are going better than on my end." he greeted.

Nora's holographic appeared on Sigur's screen. She sat in the pilot's chair of a different ship than before. Many things about her had changed, her countenance, her feel through the Force. It had all changed drastically. Through all of the changes, one phrase could possibly summarize all of them. Nora had grown up. Not physically, she had grown into her adult body long ago. Rather, it was emotionally. She finally resolved her inner conflicts, finally deciding who she was, and who she would become.*

Leaning forward, she answered with nearly no emotion.
"That's predictable, that you haven't had much fortune. You are the Jedi Grandmaster, a being subject to his many duties and the law. I, being a trained Force User and a mercenary, have no such restriction like duty and the law. But to answer your question, yes, I've had far more fortune than you. Give me a minute while I transfer the personal files of Geist Weiss to you on the STROST conspiracy. You'll find everything you need in there, who really killed the agents, and who really attempted to kill Mandalore. Everything, even things remotely connected to it are there for you. Is this sufficient?"

Nora then sent the files to Sigur over the secure line. She withheld a few extra details, like that of having every current file of Geist Weiss's. Not just things related to STROST. Nora withheld that for personal reasons, perhaps the Jedi would have need of her again. Then things like that could be released. However, if the Grandmaster directly asked for Nora to hand over all information she gathered rather than just what she already gave, she would.

A few beeps from the computer noted to Sigur there was incoming information. Though a secured line, he made sure the information itself was secured as it passed through the system. Any viruses or malicious software would be detected by the Temple’s firewall system. A holo-widow popped up and he began reading through the incoming material as Nora explained what she had. His heart nearly stopped, and he was silent for a few seconds too long to consider comfortable.

“Geist Weiss.” Sigur said the name that popped up; he recognized the illusionist all too well, having only visited the Council via hologram only a few months earlier, the man had made it to effect that he was in relation to the Sith. “Operation Aruetii.” Sigur repeated the name, if Geist had such connections; he was pretty high on the chain of command.

“Nora, you said you had transferred this from the personal files of Geist Weiss, did you happen to stumble upon anything else? Like alias? Did he have any other names he went under the identification of?” Sigur asked carefully, his fingers running over commands as he shipped off the information to GA intelligence.

Nora smiled slyly, beginning to send a secondary packet to Sigur, comprised of information from her ship and a datapad. As it arrived, she briefly outlined the information.
"Geist Weiss is thorough, but there are some things not even he keeps records of. But you'll find details on his many kills, including, but not limited to, a Darth, or two maybe, quite a few Imperial Knight higher ups. Apparently the whole fiasco with the Imperial Knights was partially orchestrated by Geist, though you could probably already guess that. Though it would seem there were many corrupt Knights as well in the process. Every lie carries a bit of truth, or so the saying goes I hear. The Chiss are mentioned once here, only in the Imperial Knights operation though, and only briefly. Perhaps they aren't as far in bed with the Sith as I first thought. Geist also handed over the bomb in your Teta temple, though it doesn't show here who detonated it or how it got there, and so many other things. Though it looks a little limited, as in, if he wasn't directly involved, the story doesn't exist in his files. Hopefully you'll do well with this information."

Nora paused for but a moment before adding with hesitation.
"I do have one question, does the Order allow mercenaries to temporarily visit a Jedi temple? There are a few people I want to see again there, and a few I want to apologize to."

The sly smile on the holographic Nora presented answered his question before receiving another incoming packet. The secured network still filtered through the information before it was presented on the screen before him to keep out unneeded bugs and corruptible software that could be hiding in Geist's files. The information came and kept pouring in, file after file, operations, individuals involved, the encryption codes, theories that left Jedi in suspicion, but now can lay to rest.

Sigur was surprised to how much this one Sith had involvement with, from the Chiss to the Mandalorians, it would certainly make anyone paranoid about how much he would know on the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi themselves. The thoughts were disconcerting, but he was certain to not let them overtake any healthy paranoia he may carry already.

“I hope we do do well with this information.” He said quietly before Nora continued, asking if she could still visit the temple. He could understand she still had friends here, “By appointment.” He stated, “You would be required to go through a strict security search, only allowed in certain areas, just like all other guests we may have.” The Grandmaster explained, his facial features and tone emotionless as he waited for the information to finish downloading.

Nora sat up and placed her Lightsaber down as Sigur's systems finished downloading her packet of information containing mostly raws of Geist's information. Nora hadn't bothered to check his files for viruses, since she would burn the datapads she used anyway. Keeping old items was a bad idea.
"Strict security, heh, I'd expect nothing less. At least I'm being allowed as a guest and not a prisoner. Well, thank you, perhaps we shall speak later."

She then cut the connection between them, and smiled softly.
