Edwast had been spending days at a time in his room, pacing and considering his options. While he did his best not to bother himself with the burdens of others he didn't have a choice anymore. This was an opportune moment after all, a chance to get live subjects, something that had been eluding him since he joined the Eternal. Several pristine subjects lie in wait, all he would have to do is take them from under his nose.
Long had he been seeking to test some of his more experimental applications of the force on the mind. He knew one was able to temporarily trick the mind into thinking a simple command or thought, something like "These aren't the wookies you're looking for" or some such. But this was his chance to prove that you could go beyond that, you could perfect it and permanently alter someone's memories, even if it was just a minor detail. He had drafted out how he would test his method, but his notes on the subject had been collecting dust. He didn't have anyone to experiment on as he most certainly couldn't do it to another member of the Eternal without poisoning or knocking them out, and he didn't want to expend such effort with risk of getting ousted. He grinned to his contact, a young woman who had formely been an assistant of his.
"Give me a few days to prepare, and I'll gladly accept, though I might be bringing some help if that's alright."
Which leads us to now, he had begun pacing at the thought of having to offer his aid in return for someone else's, something he absolutely hated. He viewed the need for other's help as a weakness, especially when you only had a favor to offer in return. But he was past that now, he needed those subjects. He decided to meet a few of his potential helpers so that he knew they were capable of keeping up a charade for long periods of time. Once he concluded the meeting he knew who he wanted to involve in this mission. He made the call and asked them to do two simple tasks, or so he thought they were simple. Provide a fake name and a picture with which he can use to make their ID tags. He would naturally go under the name "Ricard Delone" An empty name to him but a name that held meaning to others. He gave them the meeting location on Nar Shadaa, a housing area near the clinic where they could go over the details of the mission and everyone's roles. He also told them to arrive at the location with their uniforms on along with the badges he printed. And he grabbed his light saber, not that he saw any use for it but wanted to keep it handy for whatever emergencies occur during this task.
Once he was set he entered a transport ship sent to pick up the involved scientist and prepared for the task ahead. Immediately he was greeted by his former assistant, who beamed at him from across the cruiser. She was a young Twi'lek who stood a few feet under him in height, she was also a brilliant Engineer. She had been working under him when his team was designing an Environmental suit that could be used in combat situations a few years ago, though they never got past the testing phase before funding was cut. The unfortunate curse of working at an under funded lab.
"Looks like you'll be working for me now doesn't is Mr. Delone?" She said, making her way over to where he went to sit as he breathed with a sigh. "I'll try to go easy on you when I start whipping you around like an old Ton ton."
Uppity little runt isn't she? He swallowed his anger and disgust, no easy task for him that nearly caused him to lose concentration on hiding his presence from any potential force users.
"Well, I wouldn't stand to work under anyone else in the project than the most brilliant." He said to her, with a warm smile as he spoke. While he was angered at her high and mighty attitude, he had cared for her some time ago as a pupil. He was pleased to see her grow so much after her departure from the labs. "And it's Doctor Delone, don't forget you were still just an assistant a few years ago." He laughed as he spoke, he wouldn't soon forget this slight but right now he needed to relax and focus on the mission. During the ride there all he could think about was planning ahead, doing the calculations in his head as the transport ship took off. It was going to go perfect, no matter what he had to do.
It wasn't long before they reached the outer rim and then shortly after Nar Shadaa, he waved off the scientists as they called for him. "I have to go arrange housing, I forgot to do it on the way." He then made his way to the rendezvous location and waited outside the housing area. He was the first to arrive, naturally, as he had told them to come an hour later than he planned to arrive. They may be on a mission but he still wished to observe them.
