May The Invisible Hand Be With You - (Star Wars CK2-Style Quest)

Reader mode
Okay, I'm assuming some of you are more familiar than I am with the Temple Bombing arc (and/or rewatched it once it became apparent that this would be a thing).

Is there anything in Letta Tormund's house that we need for this investigation?

Is there any reason we need to be there, anyone we need to encounter there, anything? Otherwise, we should just keep our analysts running and let Anakin take the lead. (Alternately, if we're in it solely for the Troll points, we should consider breaking & entering so we could have a conversation with Anakin once he gets there).

Well, she was one of the bombers.

Letta Turmond
 
[X] Leave the house alone, you don't want to risk anyone picking up that you're unofficially investigating the matter as well.

The canon team handled this pretty well in canon. No need to rock the boat and potentially doom us all.

I knew that; I was more wondering if investigating her house would lead to any evidence. Per the wiki:
Skywalker and Tano proceeded to Turmond's house to see if they could find any traces of the nano-droids. None were found on Turmond, but they were present in the food, so Skywalker and Tano decided to take Turmond back to the Temple for more questioning.

So we should consider dropping by the home if only to satisfy our omake-dragon's appetite for funnies. @Panory?

Okay fine, now this can be canon. There, happy?

And the +10 as usual.

I really hope that Arla's presence doesn't implicate our Mandalorians or else we'll have trouble keeping people form loosing it about a Mandalorian Empire.

It's not like she's parading around the Senate building shouting "THE MANDALORIAN EMPIRE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES!" She's going to be in the Undercity seeing what kind of trouble she can find with Dani and Rip.

I'm not sure about what option to take, but we should leave some people keeping watch, just in case someone decides to go there and remove evidence. And give those people listening equipment, but nothing inside the apartment that could be found. Can we add that option?

That...seems legit, sure.

Jesus, I don't know how I missed Jackar being Abyssin. Please tell me we have a lot of them in our employ, just for the naming synergy.

Sadly I have a lot of projects and papers I need to get done over break. So starting tomorrow I can't really justify writing a whole lot. I might make time for the rest of Thrawn's legal adventures, but that's about it.

Very.
 
[X] Set up people around the apartment to watch and listen for any suspicious activity, but don't go any further than that.

I honestly don't have much opinion on this. I think, though, that breaking in would create signs which would be seen by any authorities which might accidentally lead them down a wrong path. Wild goose chases and all that. Even then, it's the home of a suspect. Never hurts to just keep aware.
 
Just in case it isn't obvious for the tally:

Don't forget that if there are possible signs of breaking and entering, any evidence there can be considered to have been planted and cast reasonable doubt.

I can get behind this. Plus we'd be in a position to intervene in case Dr. Snark throws <craziness> our way...

We don't want to make any mistakes; worst case, we can send someone in after the Jedi are done there, just in case they missed something.

If we catch something suspicious, than we can use that as evidence. Otherwise, let's avoid doing something that could be considered illegal.
 
I might have to see about putting together a "stake-out" omake.

Teaser:
Watching the Detectives said:
"I thought you were a medic by training!" I heard Miss Plenar insist.

I grinned. "The study of medical science consists of a number of scientific fields, including organic chemistry. Back when I was studying it, there was a NetJournal I used to read by a professional chemist about Things They Won't Work With. It was a raconteur's guide to some of the most unpleasant or scary chemicals around. There was an entry about a substance that would burn sand and at least half a dozen about particularly explosive chemicals. If there's any trace left I might be able to run chemical analysis and figure out what it was that blew up."

"You know how do that?" She asked.

"Mostly. I'd need to have the reference for what the different peaks and shapes on the spectrometer actually mean, and some different chemical references, but yeah, I could work it out. They didn't let you have the references in class, but class was years and years ago, so I'd call that a draw. I did get a 95 in the class." I didn't need to tell her that I only got a 60 in that section.

benefit: no potentially pissing people off.

downside: not able to respond to enemy black-ops teams on site if there are any.

we should get any info that anakin finds, and i think not pissing the jedi off here is important, especially since our operators are ourself, a wanted criminal, or a former (not that they know that) sith apprentice. the consequences of getting caught are potentially immense.

edit: this works better.

huh. In the Cannon time line, Were Anakin and Asoka off world when the bombing happened? because if they weren't, that's a huge change from cannon right there. and with some fairly interesting consequences should Asoka still get framed.

They still were, sorry if I didn't make that clear during the write-up.
