Kaisa had never realized just how much help the galaxy at large needed. It was easy to focus on the micro before she'd been promoted. Only worried about the issues in the places she happened to be, not having to consider every issue occurring the galaxy at once and how to prioritize them. Honestly, once she had gained access to the shared "Somebody Please Help Us" inbox, it sort of made her brain hurt trying to figure out a way to help.
So she'd sort of come up with a process. Keywords that would give certain things priority over others. Murder got pushed higher up on the list than lost pet, for instance. Kidnapping pushed hire than burglary. It was because of this system that Kaisa's eyes were drawn to a very recent aide request from the planet Lantilles.
There had been an a recent string of murders that were all carried out by droids. But not just any droids.. droids that were far beyond just metal men made of shiny durasteel. These droids had synthskin and to the naked eye looked entirely and utterly human. Even more strangely, it wasn't just random rogue AI committing these crimes. In most cases, it was people that the victims had known for years. Spouses friends and neighbors suddenly exposed as murderous synthetic beings.
The whole thing was just too strange to ignore. Deciding not to undergo this investigation alone, Kaisa had invited two padawans to join her: Gnost Rumaar and Maura Skywalk.
We need to remain inconspicuous during our investigation, Kaisa said to the two padawans as their ship landed. If we are too overt, whoever is perpetrating these crimes may bury the lead where we will never find it.
Kaisa would give Gnost and Maura little time to get themselves ready to depart before she slid from the pilot's seat and started walking to the loading ramp and headed outside. Their destination was a local police office, the place that had put in the distress call in the first place.
It is likely we will uncover some rather.. nefarious things during this investigation. Things some would say kids should be shielded from, but I think it is important to understand the realities of the galaxy we live in. I know you have seen combat, Maura, but Gnost is by far less experienced. Kaisa said as they walked before pausing for a moment.
Turning her gaze to them both, but hovering on Gnost a little bit longer than Maura, Kaisa sighed heavily.
If you don't think you can handle it, this will be your last time to let me know.
