Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

Once again, Kat was back with the security forces to speak with the prisoners. This time for those taken into custody last night, and first to speak with the woman who had called herself a Jedi.

The woman looked up and then back down and played with her sleeves. Her hood pulled up over her hair and upper part of her face. She stayed silent for now.

"Good evening," she greeted, seeing no reason not to be somewhat polite. "How is your injury from last night?"

"I'll live, you going to throw me in prison or what?" she said bitterly.

"Well... that is not up to me to decide. But it is likely outcome, considering yesterday. You did the right thing, to stand down and stop last night. And I believe you are someone who can continue to do the right thing if given the chance."

Kat sat down outside her cell, looking at her as she kept a calm tone. "Where did you get the lightsaber? Not an easy weapon to stumble across."

"The movement got it to me, I was surprised it was real," she admitted. "We figured we could show the Jedi support us... well... you know the rest."

"Really?" she raised her eyebrows slightly. "You must've had it for a while then, no? You didn't seem to be completely unused to using such a weapon, considering the encounter with Count Serenno."

She shrugged and said, “It was not my first time, I guess. So what.”

"So the movement, just gave you a lightsaber, telling you to go pretend to be a Jedi?" she asked. "For what reason? Beyond just making people think that it meant the Jedi were on your side."

"We want to expose the tyranny and betrayal of House Panteer to the people, no one will helps us not even real Jedi," she countered. "So we help ourselves."

Kat looked at her with a sense of sadness, but her attention was on her.

"Could you tell me what this tyranny and betrayal is? And who told you of it? Was it... Julio Ulgo, or Hyta Jung?"

“Hyta? The little quite one? Julio knew the truth, but also BlackKat66 knew the core. The Panteers betrayed us by towing the Republic line of the treaty. The Sith kicked our teeth in and they just rolled over for them,” she spat back.

"The core? Could you elaborate?" There was stuff to unpack, but she focused on one thing at a time now.

"They did the planning, they arrange the stuff, Julio got weapons from a local friend some soldier, but the rest was arranged by BlackKat66, a real patriot," she responded.

Weapon supplier, that was something to look into.

"How did you join this group? Have you met this BlackKat66 in person, since you speak so highly of them?"

"No one meets them," she said confidently.

"Is that so?" she was a bit surprised. "No one? How did you come to know BlackKat66 then, if you've never met?"

"They are active online... duh," she said with a wave of her hand.

"Duh indeed," she gave a half self-deprecating smile. "So everyone, including Tuvi and Julio, just accepted the word of someone online named BlackKat66, without knowing their identity or affiliation? Do I have it right, miss?"

"They knew stuff, they provided the goods, they have proven themselves a true patriot," she said proudly.
