After spending many hours working he woke up from an eleven hour sleep and decided to call in some help to speed up the process. He got up and when he was ready headed into his main room. After pressing at holo buttons the holo of Watcher 5 appears and he immediately talks.
"Watcher 7, how is your investigation going?"
"Very well. I do need your help though."
"I doubt it, but if I can help speed things up then I'll head over."
An hour later Watcher 5 arrived at Watcher 7's Apartment and they began working.
"So what is it you need me to do?"
"Well, I have got information from a dozen different sources which implicate three companies. Sys-Tech, Bio-Helical and Cyclo. All those companies were set up a long time ago and were owned by a Caldon Okara. He also set up the Okara Droid factory on Balmorra but that doesn't seem to be implicated quite as obviously, if at all. It was set up before the others were acquired by him so I'm assuming it was just a business, not a front. What I'm looking for at the moment though is proof that the companies are still tied in with him. They have not changed hands as far as I can tell so I need to find out who runs them now. Then I will be able to look into what they have been doing and hopefully find a trail."
"Well, I can see you have put a lot of work into this. I'll start by digging into Caldon's financial records, but I doubt there will be much to find given the length of time that has passed."
"I have something that can help. A device that I got from the Tech Bureau."
Watcher 7 explained to him about the Wormhole device and about how it must be kept secret. Once he had done the two of them began working to find something suspicious that could lead them to the conspiracy. Several hours passed and they eventually found something.
"Look at this."
Watcher 7 goes over and starts looking at the information Watcher 5 had found. Lines of names and figures appear and he tries to look for something useful.
"What is it you see here?"
"It takes a while to see, but there is a pattern. Every few weeks this name, Cada Obliss, appears along with a transfer of just under two million credits. This starts just eight months after the end of the Great Hyperspace War and continues for another six years. His first transfer though was for sixty million credits. Two weeks after the first payment Caldon transfers twenty million credits to Jas'een Amurai, who is the owner of Bio-Helical at the time and another payment is made for nine million credits to Zeven Ithora."
"I know that name. He is one of the co-owners of the Okaro factory and Cyclo, isn't he?"
"Yes, so I did some digging through his records and traced the payment. He then went about to set up the Cyclo company with Caldon's funding over a two year period. Three months after that first payment Caldon begins transferring credits to Siv'va Ahiro and she sets up Sys-Tech. During those three months he is also paying to Jas'een until he finally buys over Bio-Helical. More payments are then made by them to increase its size and everything seems fine. The other payments continue and six years after that first payment by Cada it ends and the companies are large and profitable."
"So far there hasn't been anything we can really use. I assume there's more."
"Of course. I also looked into Cada's records and found those payments. I then looked for any other big transfers but came up with nothing. Looking at his total wealth however showed that he won the Shanax System lottery many years prior, before the Great Hyperspace War, and so had got an account with over three hundred million credits."
"So everything looks legitimate, and it probably is. But the thing we can see from this is that he is one of the founders. If we trace his movements leading up to the first payment then we might be able to identify the others and follow the trail across the years to now."
"That was my thinking as well. I was just about to start trying to find the others, I highly doubt it could be founded by just one person."
"So we have a solid lead it seems. We need to find out about everyone he spoke to in the weeks and months leading up to the first payment. We can dub the payment "Credit Zero"."
"Sounds good. I wonder if we could use the wormhole to watch him."
"Possible but when I had it open earlier after several hours there was a strong energy, and that was from a pin sized hole. Still, if we could narrow down a small timeframe we could see if it would work."
"Well for now I suppose we have other means to find the other founders."
The two of them continued working to find the names of everyone Cada had interacted with in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War.
