Drumond Kaas, glory of the Imperial Empire and home of the emperor himself. It was a rainy evening. The sun had just set and darkness spread slowly over the Imperial Intelligence office. In one of the offices, located on the 27th floor, a light blinked was still on. The blue dim light of a Holonet terminal did the finishing touch of the illumination process of that room. Behind the terminal, in a chair, sat a lone man. The man was dressed in typical Imperial uniform; a pair of firm plastoid boots, a dark gray pants and a dark gray jacket. His jacket was decorated with several medals.
The man had the Holonet terminal just launched and displayed a picture of an Imperial officer. In Aurabesh under the image was written "Arthos". His dossier contained several recommendations for bravery and heroism.
The door behind him slid open and an Imperial protocol droid, designated X-PR7, walked in. He stopped after the door closed and waited for the man to look up.
"Master, I have transferred the requested files to your Holonet!" the droid spoke in monotone voice, while he gestured statically with his arms towards the Holonet terminal. "I also contacted the two agents you requested, Sir. They are on your button six!"
The droid turned around and walked out of the room as the man gave the droid a nod. When the door closed automatically, he walked to the emitter on the far side of the room and turned it on. He took place in a chair, that was aimed at the camera that would make him a three-dimensional object on a holo-emitter. He pressed the button six, that was placed on a lone console placed in the arm of the chair.
"Accept!"
The field above the emitter materialized and two figures appeared in blue. On the left side stood a human male, on the right side a female Chiss. Both were dressed in official Imperial uniform, including a hat.
"Agent Tausret, Agent Dorvalla, a pleasure to finally meet you!" the man finally spoke after he made sure the connection was stable and secure.
"Sir!" the man going by Dorvalla said softly. On the right side the Chiss nodded towards the man.
"Allow me to introduce myself," the man started, "I am the minister of Intelligence. Your superior, Keeper, reports directly to me and I do report to the dark council, but I am sure you are both familiar with the chain of command within our little organization!"
It was a rhetorical question, and both the agents knew the answer to it. They both decided to wait for the minister to continue.
"I received a retrieval mission. This mission is about one of our operatives in the field. He is not, however aligned to our organization. The Dark Council however gave me the privilege to bring this man in for 'interrogation'."
"Am I out of line to ask what the man did?" Dorvalla asked.
"No you are not, agent." the minister replied, "the man is part of Omega, a group of elite soldiers and Siths that dedicate their time to preserve safety in the Empire. They are active throughout the galaxy at the moment, making sure new obtained planets are being secured."
"Rumor has it however," the minister continued when both agents nodded, "that this man has offended one of the Grand Moffs. At first, the dark council wouldn't interfere with these affairs, however one of the Lords of the Dark Council thought it would be wise to make an example out of this man. Defiance is good, but to a certain point!"
"We have to bring this man in, so he can be punished for offending a Moff?" Dorvalla asked, with a slight tone of disbelieve.
"Yes, and the Dark Council tasked me with this. I spoke to Keeper and he both recommend you for this job!" the minister responded, "I am sending the data now to you!"
Tausret nodded again, "I received your data, minister!"
"Excellent," was the responds, "This man you two are going to bring in is a well respected official within Imperial ranks. He has several recommendations for bravery and heroism. Also he was active for the Empire during the Battle of Korriban and is currently active on the planet Hoth. You will find him by his designation as 'Arthos'."
Dorvalla replied, "We will bring him back to Drumond Kaas for you!"
"Excellent..." the minister said, and went silent for a few seconds.
"Agents..." he suddenly added, "If this man refuses to join you, you are allowed to use all means necessary. However... do not kill him!"
" Understood sir!"
Dorvalla saluted and Tausret followed his example. The minister simply nodded and disconnected, allowing the three dimensional images of the two agents to dissolve from Human and Chiss from into nothing more than thin air...
