While on the mildly long swoop ride back to Fal's ship, he called Count Dooku on his personal frequency. Dooku appeared, in light blue as was custom for holograms, looking irritated. "Forgive me if I am short with you, Carani. Ventress has been... dissatisfactory, this day"<br/>"Sir," Fal said curtly. "I simply wished to know if you could offer me any insight on the Jedi Tali. She was on your personal list, and I've picked her up."<br/>Dooku slowly grinned widely. "Indeed. Her purpose will reveal itself in time, my friend. Please bring her back alive, and preferrably, in one piece."<br/>A noise came from the background. "Stop ignoring me, Count! I am your apprentice, not that rat Jedi!"<br/>"Silence!" Dooku roared, as the hologram cut off.<br/>Fal frowned. Dooku was being cryptic as ever.
