*** Presidential Office, New Romulus ***
"Well, you're fortunate, then - if you've had no contact with them, they won't expect you," D'Tan told them. "But they'll still consider you as prey; their entire society is set around hunting anything and anyone. Taking them out is optional, what matters is that you eliminate the Tal Shiar. As for how to get to them... I do not know. They have proven extremely alert to our surveillance. But they do tend to make a target of supply shipments coming to us from anywhere. Just hitch a ride with one and wait for the Tal Shiar, then do whatever you have to to infiltrate their base of operations in this sector and take them out. Clear?"

Radio chatter could be detected between the Warbird that had spoken to the Leviathans and the massive command ship. Before long, the command ship hailed the Leviathans.
*** UNSC
Allegiance, leaving Sangheilios Orbit ***
"I cannot say - but given what we saw... I fear this will be the largest conflict ever seen in Galactic Society - larger than the conflict with the Iconians ever was," Zuko replied. "We all will need to band together to face this storm."
*** DMC Military R&D Lab, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"Just this: The Tal Shiar have made it a top priority to find out what the DMC knows about a resurgent Sith threat - a faction calling themselves the Sith Covenant," the agent replied. "We don't know much more than the name; but they have made the mistake of openly attacking the Tal Shiar, and Darth Torrentus loathes to be challenged by lesser, blinded Sith."

"I see where you're going with that" Dawn stopped pacing "But the entire point of a cloaked ship is the cloaking no?"
*** Bellator Residence, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"Yes, but knowing Lana, she has a backdoor - an insurance policy in case she was unable to respond to hails and we needed to find her," Scourge replied. "Assuming she hasn't changed the prefix code..." he paused and looked at Dawn. "You still have that... ghost, AI-thing, whatever you call it, right? That little companion of yours?"
*** Armored Cruiser
Ardent, In-Transit to Reach ***
"And here we go," Ado sighed, sitting back in the command chair. "We should arrive at Reach in a couple standard days, provided there's no mishaps."
*** Tigress Armory, Dragon'taan ***
The Romulan chuckled, dropping his weapons and putting his hands up. "You got me..." he clicked something on his left glove. "... but this will not be the last time you hear from the Star Empire!" In an instant, he was transported away.
*** Coruscanti Steakhouse, Coruscant ***
"It was hidden in my old dorm... a secret compartment you wouldn't know was there unless you knew to look for it," Kyle said. "And I'm wondering if it's still there."
"Surprised Query: Master, are you referring to...?" Hector began.
"Yes, Hector - my Jedi lightsaber. The blue one I built during my time here," Kyle affirmed.
*** Geidi IV ***
The doctor went over Angel's body with a few devices, and in no time flat, she had Angel looking no different than she did when she was in that pod. A look of regret passed the representative's face. "Well, little one... here's to hoping someone with a good heart wins you." He motioned his head for her to follow as he started for the door. "Come on... the boss will want to see you before the tournament begins."
