welp that's a lot of votes in like the past day holy shit
Still, going to call the vote now since Ciaran's perspective has twice as many votes as Thrawn's. For those of you who voted for the latter don't worry, we'll get to him in time. But for now, the trolling will continue until morale improves.

You are Ciaran, head of the Abyss Watchers, owner of the Karada Corporation, head of the Ciaran Foundation, and almost the de facto leader of the Council of Neutral Systems. And you are a very happy woman right now. It's so rare to meet people who have that same spark as you do and it's wonderful that Thrawn has it...and he's smart enough to know that he'd be better off working with you instead of against you.
But more importantly right now you're heading to a spaceport in Mandalore where you'll just "happen" to run into Obi-Wan as he arrives on the planet. All joking aside, it would help considerably if you were able to gain control of the situation by starting any conversation on your terms. You've talked with the Jedi enough that they likely wouldn't interfere with politics unless they had sufficient reasons, so odds were good that there was something else bringing them here aside from Satine getting worried about your influence. At any rate, with your brisk pace you should be arriving at the spaceport just a little bit after-
You stop dead in your tracks when you notice the people standing together and chatting about something you can't overhear from this distance. Obi-Wan, a much more mature-looking Anakin Skywalker...and Satine Kryze who had arrived earlier than you anticipated. You were pleased that an equally familiar Jedi had shown up with Obi-Wan, but you hadn't really talked with Satine personally that much what with you going behind her back all the time. What you do know is that she is a capable and strong-willed politician so it was practically guaranteed that she was here for the same reasons you were. That...might be a bit problematic, actually, but you've committed to this now and it's probably better that you don't back down lest you give Satine the advantage. Time to put on your game face. You resume your pace and walk up to the group.
"Obi! So good to see an old friend here! To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" you say, as you close in on the poor Jedi like a predator cornering her prey. The reactions from the three people standing there were instant; Anakin facepalmed and started shaking his head in frustration, Obi-Wan gave a long-suffering sigh while looking oddly nervous for some reason and Satine was trying to glare you into submission which seemed very uncharacteristic of her-Wait. Were they...?
This required experimentation.
"It is a pleasure to see you Lady Ciaran, though I'm...not really surprised you're here actually..." Obi-Wan said as his shoulders sagged slightly.
"For the record, milady," Anakin interjected, "we're here on official Jedi business."
You briefly even glance in his direction though you do note that he seemed like he was trying to distance himself and Obi-Wan from you-like that would ever work. You turn back to an increasingly nervous-looking Obi-Wan and continue as though nothing had happened. "Oh, are you here because of the attacks around the planet lately? They've truly been tragic disturbances to the peace, and I for one appreciate the Jedi sending someone to help, especially a friend like you~"
"Ah," Satine finally spoke for the first time in the conversation with an air of obviously forced calmness. "I was...unaware...that you and Lady Ciaran were already...familiar with each other."
The look of fear on Obi-Wan's face as his eyes constantly shifted between you and Satine confirmed your hypothesis, and it was beautiful. There was no way he'd be that nervous unless he valued Satine's view of him and her "claim" on him was incredibly obvious to you...and judging by the very amused look on Anakin's face he knew it too. To think that the two of them were so close to each other...how scandalous, especially for a Jedi of all people...
You were going to have so much fun with this.
"F-forgive me Lady Ciaran-" Oh, he's stuttering now, it's adorable to see him of all people so flustered-"but I have business with the Duchess that must remain private." You swear you can hear Anakin trying to stifle his laughter in the background. "If you don't mind?"
Hmm...do you? The fact of the matter is that he's clearly way off his game with Satine around, which might make it easier to get something out of him...assuming your presence doesn't cause Satine to abandon her ideals of pacifism so that she can try and kill you. And given her reactions, there's absolutely no chance that she'll let Obi-Wan out of her sight now that you've shown up. It's really quite romantic, even if it might make things more complicated for you.
On the other hand, Anakin doesn't really seem too interested in the situation at hand aside from being amused at Obi-Wan's romantic life, so odds were that it wouldn't take much to separate him from Obi-Wan and Satine. The Abyss Watchers did save his mother's life...maybe now's the time to cash in that good will. But at the same time he doesn't seem like he's that trusting of you at the moment. So the plan would be...
[] Tag along with Satine and Obi-Wan. Antagonizing Satine might be worth having Obi-Wan off his game enough for you to figure out if he's got other reasons for being here.
[] Hang back and talk with Anakin privately, and try and get information out of him. You have considerable leverage with the boy, and now is a good a time as ever to use it.
AN: I almost feel sorry for Obi-Wan. Almost. He has the best worst luck with women it seems like...or maybe it's the other way around

Given that it was my omake that started the whole, "Torment Obi-Wan with flirting," train, I feel guilty about leaving off...but damn it, somebody who's not Sidious needs hooks in this boy!

Sorry, guys/gals I'm planning on breaking the bandwagon. Why? It's too early to exploit Ani, let's keep this for a little while longer, now, let's "play" with our Obi and Satine

I'm kinda hoping that that Ciaran matchmakes Obi-wan and Satine a bit. Obi-Wan's style of suave, pragmatic idealism is the kind that could convince Satine a bit that Ciaran actually does have a good heart of sorts.
Meanwhile, for this option, step one of winning Obi-wan's opinion would be to win over Anakin first.
The main downside I see is that it may delay Ciaran having influence over Obi-wan and Satine's opinions of her possible criminality and military pursuits. But I think it's ok if she gets an outline of the situation from Anakin first.
