It's Been Awhile ...

Subject: It's been awhile

It’s been awhile, my lord Aurelius. Forgive me for never writing – and for my poor manners in getting immediately to the point. I’d like to make a trade. I have in my possession the battle recording from the Hutt fleet’s flagship. It was recovered at great personal risk and I am confident that the information found therein will prove instrumental in any serious attempt to fight the Archeri invaders. To my knowledge, no other ship or station before or since has escaped so close an encounter. Too bad I don’t have a massive fleet of warships in my back pocket, isn’t it? But you do. And I know that you will be on the way soon, if that news bulletin about a Prazhi summit isn’t just noise and smoke. If I am mistaken, well ... I must hope that I am not. In return, I want my research from the Vendaxa lab. All of it, as well as its sole product. I know that Renata can make no use of Ashardalon or else the beast would have been trotted out to some slaughter during the war. Since the living dragon must be delivered in person, and since my information is most useful to you before the fleet is deployed, I propose the following. Send the data I’ve requested along to this address. Then I shall transmit the files I recovered from The Basilisk. Additionally, the original hard copy may be provided by courier to your party on Prazhi if you wish it so. I do hope the Empress and yourself will see the beauty of this exchange, as it seems to me neither of these things do their current owners much good at all. I believe we took each other’s measure all that time ago in the catacombs beneath the temple. For that, I wont waste your time with threats of what I’ll do if you or her try to screw me on this. I would say give everyone my fond regards, but well … You know. Signed, N p.s. how's the dog?

You say it’s been a while, and so it has. Your offer is an intriguing one. The beast is still here, if you ever wonder about its wellbeing. Dromund Kaas has proven to be a suitable home to it. Few know how to properly care for it, so I doubt the Empire will miss it. That is, of course, a decision for the Empress, but I will pass your warmest greetings to her. Still, how did you come across that data, I wonder? I wouldn’t expect many Compeers to be so bold, but I guess the Exchange hasn’t seen many like you, have they? Regardless, we will deliver the data you seek. I will be on Prazhi personally for the coming talks. I will plan to meet your courier personally. I’m sure you need no warning about failing to live up to your side of this. Then again, you’ve never failed in that regard. As for the beast, well... I doubt Prazhi is an ideal venue to transfer him to your care, but I suspect we will have opportunities in the near future. The Tuk’ata is fine. Bull-strong and more deadly than some of the stragglers that wander into our temples. Oh, and by the way, I’ve heard from the horse’s mouth that by former student ran into some months ago. Pink. Tall and lanky — I’m sure you know the one. Will keep contact -Aurelius

Is it really that strange? I can only content myself with ridiculous piles of Huttese gold for so long. 😉 Nah, I may be out of the Order but I wouldn’t say I’ve lost my edge. Though, even were I inclined to get fat and lazy, this problem has not been one I could afford to ignore. My people are settling in now for a long siege. I’m glad you see it my way – and that the hound is doing well. My proxy, Hertz, will meet you at the Equinox Tea Room in Soldon at any time you care to name. He does not know our history. Yes, I did encounter the young man you speak of. Crass little insect – would have figured you for better taste in students. How’s that holocron he stole doing for you guys? As if I would have let a valuable relic slip through my hands like that! Anyway, he scampered off after my apprentice decked him in the face. I don’t expect to see him again. Signed, N

A tea room, eh? You really do know my preferences well, don’t you? That was a joke, by the way. I’m told my humor doesn’t carry well in text. I say other people should learn to read better, but whatever. I can’t take too much responsibility for Vuluha. He ran off into the ether for some years, away from my fine tutelage. Any bad habits he picked up out there are purely his own. But it may bring you some... comfort to know that “crass little insect” won’t be bothering you — or anyone — again. He drew the Empress’ fury in a foul way. Your apprentice got a lick in, though? Is it still that same one? The tall, hairy, broad boy that kicked the one Jedi in the balls on Alderaan? At least, that's how the rumor went. -Aurelius
