*** Starfleet Command ***
(Weaver, just out of curiousity - and because my memory is bad - what is Weaver? As in, what species?)
"Understandable, seeing that this was your first time meeting a Jedi," the woman responded. She looked to Quinn, who handed her the pyramidal device. She shifted it in her palm, commenting, "Hnh... heavier than I thought." She looked to Weaver. "As the courier who brought this to me, you deserve to know the truth of this. Please come with me." She then departed Quinn's office, speaking to Weaver as she walked in the hallway, hoping Weaver was behind her, "I am Knight-Commander Mira Orlen, Jedi Crusader and the Dragon'taan Marauder Corps' liaison to Starfleet. Might I ask who you are?"

"Fine with... me... but mother... talk to dad. Talk to the others. Angel and Rochell... deserve a new home after... what they've been through. They... have nothing else," Keesha pleaded her mother. San smiled weakly.
"I will see what I can do," she responded. Turning her attention to Rae, she spoke, "I'll see you in two hours - alert me immediately if her condition changes, please."
*** Usperfield Park, New Cerinia ***
"Why, Celina! Did you become a Jedi Knight when I wasn't looking?" Gideon joked.
*** New Cerinia ***
"I see," Kex said. "I can direct you to the Coalition Detention Center, if you want to turn this... T'liss, in. The Coalition would see that you are properly compensated. We have accounts for this sort of mercenary work; name your price, and as long as it is not excessive, I will pass it along to the Mercenary Compensation Department."
*** Krystal's Mansion, Master bedroom, New Cerinia ***
Markus moved to support his wife, trying to bring her into his arms. He now recognized this barren landscape - he'd seen it before. Fortunately, Krystal was off-world when the Necromyans glassed Cerinia; Markus heard High General Kyle Indari was planetside when it happened, and saw the glassing firsthand - Markus, however, was not planetside when the world was glassed, as he was getting the refugees he managed to save with his hologram cohorts to safety. It still wasn't a pretty sight for him; he could feel the pain of what took place here.
*** Approaching Carnival Grounds, Earth ***
Amy and Jason, leading Mary, began approaching the carnival grounds. It was still rather early in the day, so the line to get in was still virtually nonexistent. "Wonder what the entry cost is?" Amy mused.
"One way to find out," Jason said, approaching one of the entry booths.
(Anna, I'll let you describe what Mary sees in the Carnival.)
*** Reach ***
"Now... we wait for the one in my vision. For that, I'd recommend we return to the original area we'd been in.
Fixel would find, now, that the search parties that had been sweeping Reach City were all vanishing. Ahkrinviingah would try to make himself heard in Fixel's head,
"Your objective is near a communications blister, sending a fake tip to the ship above; they have come here looking for him. Do not interfere; let them think the tip is real, and let them leave. Veer north, then follow the access way to find... Vhikarev, I believe his name is. He is a dragon, with a scar across his face."*** Sith Construction Site, Gorbis Mongdrigo ***
"I am alright," Malgus said. He offered a hand. "Let me show you what I saw - you might recognize it."
*** Starship
Craat, Deep Space ***
"From what I know in the Jedi Archives, Darth Malgus was a Sith Lord who lived around four thousand years ago," Ahsoka began, "He was radical among the Sith, too - especially toward the latter years of the Sith Empire of that era; built himself a powerful power base of aliens, force-sensitive and otherwise, seeing them as equals to human Sith. He even had a Twi'lek wife, though I do not recall her name." Ahsoka paused to shake her head. "She was killed during the Sacking of Coruscant. No one today knows who killed her or how. Regardless, toward the last years of the Sith Empire under Darth Vitiate, Malgus and his followers broke away from the Empire, declaring their own empire, free of the Sith Policies that Malgus viewed as narrow-minded and self-destructive. Another contributing factor was that he was tired of all the infighting in the Sith Dark Council. Malgus was defeated by a Jedi we still have among us today - one of the DMC's Command Generals, Draco Bellator. He fought him, once. From Draco's perspective, Malgus was a damn good fighter. Now, it's after Draco's defeat of Malgus and his followers - who scatter after, and no one knows where they went - that details get scarce. We know Malgus somehow survived his encounter with General Bellator, and that he was eventually imprisoned by the Eternal Empire of Zakuul; however, during a raid on the vault where General Bellator had himself been imprisoned, an unidentified party appeared and broke Malgus out, too - they were last seen going through an equally-unidentified portal, and Malgus and the party that rescued him were never seen again." Ahsoka again paused, and a frown appeared on her face, one that signified a thought came to her. "Which reminds me," she said, "How exactly
did Malgus come across your people?"
*** DMC Orbital Repair Dock, Dragon'taan Orbit ***
All systems were a-go. The Sith Terminus Frigate that Fox and his team had commandeered, which they'd renamed the
Vulpes Umbra, was fully-repaired. Fox ordered an immediate launch, and a course plotted for Corneria. Joining him were a fleet of mixed warships, lead by one Commander Travis Drake and his new girlfriend, Skye Hudson, in a new ship of their own:

"Right, let's get this show on the road - all ships, make ready for FTL Jump, target: Corneria!" Fox commanded.
