(D3, MA) The goose chase goes on.

[Zayne Rist]

Back in the Rist Noble suit and ligthsaber, Zayne walked up to the guard station of the fortress of House Ulgo. He took a minute to look around at the security. While he'd been on this planet are awhile now, it was still thought how silly the security is. Everything was a secret to hind in a vault, even dirt or air. But, this was once his home, years ago.

Finding a guard, he stated, "Hello, I am an Envoy of Duchess Rist, Jedi Zayne Rist. And, I need to speak with Baroness Bilyana Ulgo, thank you." He said in an even, cool tone. "Oh, and I have this as well." He pulled out his datapad and showed the letter of writ Kat got giving him.

The bearer of this writ, Jedi Zayne Rist, has been given it by Katarzyna Anastacie Ulgo, daughter of Colonel Alexei Petrov Ulgo and Lady Yelena Nataschia Ulgo, niece of Duke Bouris Ulgo, Knight of the Jedi Order under Master Syo Bakarn.

Jedi Zayne Rist represents the Jedi Order in investigating an accusation of a criminal act levied against one of its members, and is working with House Rist and the Jedi Order to uphold the honor of both parties and bring the truth to light. Jedi Knight Katarzyna Ulgo vouches personally for his honor and integrity, that Jedi Zayne Rist will not bring harm to House Ulgo and he in turn shall not bring harm to House Ulgo.

Please assist him in this noble quest if possible, for the honor of House Ulgo.

The soldier inspected it and then brought it to his commanding officer who inspected it and then they brought it to their commander who looked it over after about thirty minutes of this they bring him out to a snow covered field where military armored transports were engaging in an exercise shooting at distant targets.

Sitting on a box watching with a team of officers around her was a woman who was pointed out to the Baroness. Her uniform like the others was dirty from being in the field. She looked up as Zayne approached and said, “You must be the Jedi, House Rist Jedi.”

“Imagine that.”

[Zayne Rist]

Zayne bowed to Bilyana. "Yes, Jedi Zayne Rist, at your serve. I hope you, Baroness, are well today." He put his datapad back in his jacket pocket. He scanned the people in the immediate area. "The Duchess Rist wished me to give you her well wishes, as well."

[Dapper Dog]

"I am a busy woman, what do you want?" she said.

[Zayne Rist]

"Ah, yes. I was tasked to ask about the intelligence of the murder of Duchess's sister. And, how you came about this information. Also, when it was found." He said, and folding his hands behind back. He looked at her and then the others.

[Dapper Dog]

"Through my people, and recently. Wasn't even looking for it, but that is how things go at times. It's good intel, that Jedi has a history of murder," she replied giving him a dubious look.

[Zayne Rist]

"Yes, she has. She does not seem to show any remorse for what she has done. And, Layne has stated she assassinating Galen Rist." He shifting his weight to his left leg.

"So, why would she deny killing the sister, then?" Then shifting his weight to his right. "Why now? It seems odd that many would be speaking up after 8 years."

[Dapper Dog]

“My guess is politics, but I don’t play politics, I see information relevant to House Ulgo and our allies and I relay it. Simple as that. Intelligence is a complex game, I just try to do right by what I am given. I passed on that info to House Rist, surely they vetted it for themselves before they ran it up the chain,” she responded.

“It’s what I would do with any information that didn’t come from me or mine directly.”

[Zayne Rist]

"Ah, yes. That is what I expected, politics. The vetted is why I was sent here in the first place, to find out what your resources were. Layne does not enjoy politics either." He said.

"The question now is, who would benefit from framing Layne? Well, there is the killer or contractor. Who else would benefit the most off of political landscape?" Talking more to himself than anybody.

[Dapper Dog]

“Benefit, that’s a good question. If it was false then it could just prove a distraction, pull the Jedi’s focus away from another matter completely. My first guess, what about you, master Jedi?” she asked.

[Zayne Rist]

"My thoughts are the Blackguard want to choose the line of succession to pull Alderaan into the Empire. That would likely be House Thul. And, Thul would need a stronger alliance to do so. Rist leaving Organa and Ulgo to side with Thul, because of the Jedi Order backing." He said to she. "Or, that would be what I did, if I was pulling the strings."

[Dapper Dog]

“Well it sounds like something that House Thul would benefit from that, but you think that Blackguards are really pulling the strings in House Thul?” she said thoughtfully.

“I don’t disagree, sounds really solid.”

[Zayne Rist]

"Well, there wasn't the lady of house Thul, also a Sith or her son was?" He said in thought. "So, that is not much a leep to a conclusion."

[Dapper Dog]

"You don't have to do much to convince me that House Thul is trash."

[Zayne Rist]

"Alright. I will not take anymore of your time, Baroness. Thank you very much. Unless you wish something from me, I will be on my way." He said, with a bow.
