Dareia felt the connection when she placed her hand in his and an energy passed to her. She closed her eyes, centering herself and focusing her mind as she would if she were meditating. She felt a strange sensation, a strange feeling as she watched the scene unfold before her. It initially felt as though she were watching things unfold from an outside perspective, almost like she were looking into another world. There was darkness and then a blinding whiteness before she began to see the things he had seen.<br/><br/>She then began to see everything he had seen, from Palpatine being a Sith named Sidious, to Darth Maul, the Naboo incident, Count Dooku, the Clone army. She saw how he manipulated himself into the position of Chancellor and how he set up the Clone Wars as a part of his scheme. It was infuriating. All of this death, all of this chaos was created as part of some plan for him to gain control of the galaxy? Despite how infuriating it was, she did not allow herself to feel the anger, she pushed it away, keeping herself calm and focused.<br/><br/>And then all of the sudden it changed again. This time it looked different, as though she were now seeing things in first-person. She could feel the pain he felt and see things as though through his eyes. This told her that what she now saw and felt was a memory of something he had actually experienced. It appeared as though he were being held by someone with a lightsaber. Not a Jedi, but a Dark Jedi. He was dropped, pulled the lightsaber from the man’s hand, cut his legs from his body, and then phased through the floor to escape the collapsing room.<br/><br/>That was when it ended and she felt both the absence of his presence and the warmth of his hand. Her vision shifted to darkness before she opened her eyes, her vision focusing on the sitting figure before her. Although she was looking at him, however, her mind was elsewhere, considering all she had just learned. It was a lot to take in, but she did not regret knowing it. The question now, though, was what to do with it, and what would Chancellor Palpatine—or was it Darth Sidious?—do next? She thought that Tiberian knew, yet he hadn’t shown her. Perhaps they ran out of time, given that they had landed as soon as they had finished, perhaps he did not yet wish to pass on this information just yet, or perhaps he intended to give these answers to her superior or to the council.<br/><br/>Either way, it didn’t matter for the moment. She knew enough for now. She had a pretty decent idea of the general things that would come next, even if she didn’t know specifics. She didn’t like it at all. But for now, she would get back to the matter at hand and do her job. Speaking of which, she could see the lead investigator outside, waiting. She smirked a little at his comment, “Yeah. He’s a real ray of sunshine, hmm?” she chuckled, “Unfortunately, not everyone can be as charming as me,” she winked, a light smile on her face as she turned and walked towards the back of the ship, towards the doors that would lead them out.<br/><br/>Once they reached the doors, she exited, walking somewhat briskly down the ramp and approached the other investigator, Master Jarvin Kals. “Master Kals,” she greeted the older Jedi. “I brought you a present,” she half-joked and he gave a long-suffering sigh, “You are an excellent investigator, Dareia, but I really wish you would take things more seriously,” he gently chided her. “I take my job very seriously,” she rebutted, “But life is so boring if you act so serious all the time,” she grinned and he sighed again, shaking his head slightly, but giving a small smile. “Who is this young man?” he asked, looking from her to Tiberian. “His name is Tiberian,” she introduced him, “And this is Master Kals. He’s the lead investigator,” she explained, introducing the two.<br/><br/>“It’s a long story, so we might as well start walking,” she gestured for them to follow and began leading them towards their office where they could sit. She gave Tiberian a few moments to speak and to explain who he was and what information he had to offer, if he wished. If he did not, she would begin explaining the general gist of things to the older Jedi and allow Tiberian to fill in the more specific details once they were seated.
