[ For once, the Jedi sits somewhere inside. There are mechanical parts and tools scattered all over the table before him. Currently he seems to be working what looks like some sort of cybernetic hand... With three fingers.

But he has stopped working and really just looks thoughtful, barely even focusing on the camera. ]

So... The future... It's not set in stone, is it? It's always in motion and regardless what anyone says, the paths we take are still our own. And if we know we're headed for a future that is bad... That path also can still be changed, right?

[ You might say he's been bothered... By thoughts. ]

[ Private to Cad Bane ]

I would like a word with you.

[cadbane]

About what?

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

You've worked for Dooku in the past, haven't you?

[Private]

[cadbane]

I've done jobs for him. He never pays me.

If he turns up here and you want him disposed of, consider it done.

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

I'd rather be interested to find out who he works with, to be honest. He's a Sith Lord, and where there is one, there are always two. Maybe you picked something up.

[ He has a bad feeling, but doesn't dare to speak it out loud. ]

[Private]

[cadbane]

What makes you think I would just tell you, even if I did know?

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

You wouldn't unless I paid you, I'm aware of that. Though I have to wonder if even the prospect of having entire planets being destroyed in the future doesn't shake you a little bit.

[ Because it's given him sleepless nights. ]

[Private]

[cadbane]

If that were even possible, I'd tell them to start with Duro.

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

They're going to destroy Alderaan.

[Private]

[cadbane]

They?

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

They. This... Empire that comes out of the war.

[Private]

[cadbane]

Whatever happens in the future, you can do nothing about it here, Skywalker.

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

Not here, no. But if I get back I will make sure to stop this from happening.

[Private]

[cadbane]

You can try.

Did you want something else or are we just idly chit-chatting about the possible future?

Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

Well, you could answer my question on whether or not Dooku affiliates himself with someone. If he has a new apprentice - Or even reports to a Master. I’m trying to find out more about what might happen, and Dooku doesn’t really strike me as the one behind a potential genocide on the entire Jedi Order.

[Private]

[cadbane]

When I've dealt with him, I've dealt with Dooku directly.

[He's also dealt with Sidious but the jobs weren't connected.]

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

I see... So he probably didn't even mention some Darth Sidious to you.

[ He's gotten some unlikely suggestions from someone here, but he's refusing to accept those. ]

Still. Thanks for responding.

[Private]

[cadbane]

The name sounds... familiar.

[He seems to tense slightly at that.]

But I did not hear it from Dooku.

[Private]

[actualhumandisaster]

It's the name of the second Sith Lord.But that's all we could figure out so far. He's probably more involved in everything than it seems. For a Sith it would make sense to plan the annihilation of all Jedi.
