The Union won't leave the defeated Mandalorians alone, and seeks vengeance. Can the Jedi move forward with the elimination of the Mandalorian threat?

[Mercury]

In their effort to create a regime change within the Mandalorian territories, the Jedi had already secured the support of the Xrim resistance, training and supplying them, while additionally eliminating a training camp used to educate saber-wielding troops. Having lost the war, and with trouble inside their borders, and significant support eliminated, the Mandalor was now in a precarious position. This meant for the Jedi that it was time to engage in the next phase of their plan: stirring up trouble. ((OOC: I am going to start in the next five minutes, regardless of who is here then.))

[Mercury]

The admiral in charge of the efforts had once again requested the Jedi join him, needing their aid for the next part of the plans. On one of the Union's star destroyers, a meeting room had been set up, each of the Jedi arriving in their own time and way to discuss the details. They had not been informed even of the general idea of the plan, as part of security, but all would be explained at this meeting ((OOC: Please post your entrances to the room and I'll cut in.))

[Shebi Ajava]

Jedi knight Shebi Ajava arrived a few minutes beforehand. Like last time she went to meet the general, she wore a Jedi robe over her normal outift, her lightsabers hidden underneath the robe. She had flown here in a small shuttle on loan from the Jedi temple and, not knowing what to expect, had loaded her normal equipment in the shuttle already, informing quartermaster Nishra that she might return to grab her space suit if needed.

[Ariana Danacia]

Ariana entered the room after a while. She was just in time for the meeting. She quickly greeted everybody in the room. She sat down and waited eagerly to find out what the plan was.

[Mercury]

The admiral nodded to those who had joined "Thank you for coming." he stated formally. "Everything that is discussed in this meeting is classified top secret."

With the formality out of the way, the admiral spoke somewhat more relaxed. "As you know, thanks to some extensive investment by the Ministry, we have an excellent network of spies amongst the Mandalorians." he began "One of these spies, going by the codename 'Black Swan', has managed to climb up very high within the ranks of one of the Mandalorian clans." he explained <more>

[Mercury]

"The operative has been guiding the clan to begin openly defying the Mandalore. If successful, the Mandalore will have no choice but to act. Without new lightsaber wielding warriors coming in, with fleets destroyed and ships engaged in an enduring and growing conflict with the Xrim, he will not be able to simply crush the clan, but he will be forced to take other measures instead. We are hoping to make the action and reaction spiral out of control, so as to provoke a conflict between the clans." he explained. "Any questions so far?"

[Shebi Ajava]

Ajava nodded her agreement with the plan so far and, not having any questions, remained silent.

[Ariana Danacia]

"No sir."

[Mercury]

"Black Swan has requested aid of the Jedi in dealing with some problems, specifically some problematic individuals. If you are willing, I would have you go in under cover, meet with Black Swan, and resolve those problems. Be aware that I strongly suspect this is not merely an assassination that is being requested - if it were, I'd have expected a request for explosives, or marksmen, not Jedi."

[Mercury]

((OOC: Do we have Elmer on this mission?))

[Elmer]

((OOC: I don trust my internet enough , I think I will drop out. At the other hand, I am willing to give it a try))

[Mercury]

((OOC: So far you seem to be doing okay. If you disconnect once an hour, I can survive that))

[Elmer]

((OOC: I will give it a try then))

[Ariana Danacia]

((OOC: What is the topic that is created in the hidden forum, this is handy if you want to read back (or in Elmer's case if you disconnect and loose the log)))

[Fecta Trigiel]

((OOC: Dammit, now I miss all the context indeed))

[Shebi Ajava]

((OOC: Try to use OOC, will you? :P))

[Fecta Trigiel]

Trigiel entered the room, with him, he had a datapad. "Sorry for being late, I just got a last minute conformation about a Teprogrenaian war ship project which might be useful if we are going up against the Mandalorians."

[Shebi Ajava]

"And that is whay you should be on time, padawan. If you were, you would see how going in undercover doesn't fit having a war ship with us.", Ajava replied.

[Fecta Trigiel]

"Master, what have I missed?"

[Mercury]

((OOC: NEVER!))"Thank you for joining us Fecta Trigiel (sic). Please have a set with Ariana Danacia and Ajava Shebi (sic). Now, you will be going deeply into enemy territory. You will be relying on your wits somewhat - I strongly suspect you cannot slice your way out of trouble with a lightsaber should the Mandalorians learn who and what you are." he explained "We have set up a cover identity for you as freelancing arms dealers. Which is an excellent excuse to have a fast, heavily armed vessel, so perhaps at least some of Fecta Trigiel's (sic) knowledge may come in useful after all. Regardless, it is imperative you leave as soon as possible so as to minimize the chance of problems and complications arising. Any questions?"

[Shebi Ajava]

"Which clan is Black Swan embedded in, and how can we contact and verify we are communicating with Black Swan once we are on site?"
