1 Chapter V: Revelations
Inside the Dinning Hall, the four Jedi, and five diplomats ate. All the majordomos of the Diplomats were feasting beside their employers, that is, except for one.
This particular majordomo was aide to Senator Farr, but unlike Farr, this Rodian was not a loyalist, and despised the Republic with a passion. Which was precisely the reason why he made a bargain with his other, more generous employer.
He stood in the shadows of the Capital City, in a back alleyway, and even though it was an alleyway, it was just as clean as any other street. The Rodian's antennae twitched nervously as he awaited his contact, his already slimy green skin becoming more lubricated as he sweat.
"Do you have it?" asked a voice from the shadows, catching the Rodian off gurad causing him to yelp and turn.
"Ye-yes, I have it."
"Then hand it over," replied the cloaked figure, taking a step forward, a white human-looking appendage reaching out.
"Not until I have my payment," stuttered the Rodian, hoping that he sounded brave.
"As you wish," sneered the cloaked figure, the white appendage falling back within the confines of the robe. "You shall get what you deserve," with that simple phrase, the cloaked figure unleashed a cylinder holding a crimson one meter blade. Before the Rodian could scream, the crimson blade sliced through his neck, immediately cauterizing the wound.
The head rolled over towards the cloaked figure's feet. To stop the roll, the figure placed a leather boot atop it, smiling cruelly at it. Kicking the head aside, the figure kneeled down beside the decapitated body, scrambling around for what the figure was looking for. Within a matter of seconds, the figure found the object of covenant. With a silent cheer, the figure stood, pushing back the hood that concealed the figure's face.
There, Aurra Sing smiled gruesomely at the data disk within her grip. Her master would be proud of her accomplishments. Turning on her heal, the Padawan-turned mercenary-turned bounty hunter-turned Dark Jedi went to relay her success on the first portion of her mission.
But what Aurra Sing failed to realize was that a certain Jedi Knight followed the Majordomo, and hid within the shadows atop the closest building the whole time.
