*Sac leaves a holo message*
Master Luke,
I have been investigating some of this stuff about Ire giving bad orders and such but I have one of the trooper's helmets that raises more questions. I think there is a coup going on here probably for the throne. The last time I saw this in the Empire It was me that pretty much put a stop to it. I'm not going to go into detail because I nearly loss my career. Anyways I'm going to have a contact get me some more information. If your wondering who. It's Zairon. I sense something and the force tells me to trust him on this matter for the moment. Once I what I need I'll head over to Yavin.

Luke checks his messages, and listens to Sac. He takes a few moments to mull the matter over, then decides that now it is even more important to met with Zairon.

Luke arrives at his office, freshly back from his meeting with Paymon. He begins to file his report, along with his recommendations. He works deep into the night, reviewing reports and intel that he has received. Evenually, he falls asleep at his desk.

Luke is wakened by the comm. It is an encrypted message from Sir Zairon.
"Good to hear from you Skywalker. What a strange coincidence. I needed to set a meeting with you at some time. I was hoping to leave and head to Yavin IV to meet you, however at the moment it seems Lord Ire has given me orders to be with the fleet. Until such time that I can slip off we may need to wait or settle for encrypted messages."
Luke thinks for a few moments, then begins to compose a return message.
"Understood. Do you have any proof of Ire's corruption. I only have heresay from citizens, but the majority of them believe that the incident on Carratos was either Ire's manipulation, or rogue stormtroopers acting on their own.
If you do have proof, then I suggest an alliance to remove Ire from power. I have entered into negotiations with Paymon and the Black Knights, and hope to have the council approve an alliance with them in the next few days.
Luke Skywalker"
Luke sends the message.

Luke composes a message to his second in command.
"Cait,
If for some reason I am unable to attend the meeting on Tuesday, here are the items to be covered:
1. Tookie Binks and Sacrifice Milla have both requested to be accepted into the Order. Have the Council discuss and vote on it.
2. Have the Council discuss the recent mission to Carratos and what our next step should be. I believe there is corruption there. I am just not sure where it lies. Sacrifice is undercover within the RGE, and is attempting to gather evidence of the corruption.
3. I have discussed entering into an alliance with Paymon. He is no longer a Sith, and I strongly believe we need his help in the upcoming RGE situation. Please convince the Council to vote in favor of this.
Those are the only things I have for an agenda thus far. If anything else comes up, I'll let you know.
Luke"
Luke sends the message, then goes and lies down on the couch in his office. It will soon be dawn.

Luke wakes up on the couch, sits up and stretches. He goes over and checks for messages, but nothing yet. He showers and dresses in his usual black jedi outfit. After pulling on his robe, he heads to the cafe.

An encrypted message is returned to Luke.
"As much as I dislike Sith and as much of his corruption as I've seen first hand, regardless of if this current issue is rogue stormtroopers or his orders, I'm afraid I'm a bit hesitant out of loyalty. Plus, overthrowing a ruler doesn't work unless we have somebody else to place on the throne."
"I do suspect that something is up with the current Ire. I'm not sure if he just snapped under pressure or it is an impostor. However, if I can find proof of either I can get High Command to peacefully remove him from power. If we aren't careful all we will cause is anarchy and I'm not willing to subject the people of Carratos to that. They've been through too much."

Luke checks his messages, and finds the message from Zairon. He carefully thinks about what Zairon said, and about the meeting with Lord Ire earlier. Something is definitely off. And it is time to get to the bottom of it.

Luke composes an encrypted message from his apartment and forwards a copy to his office:
Zairon,
I have had a vision in the Force. I need to know if Lord Ire is experiencing Paranoia and bouts of uncontrolled anger? It's possible that prolonged exposure to the Dark Side is having a detrimental effect on his mental abilities.
Luke
Luke sends the message.

Luke enters his office, and sits down behind his desk. He checks for messages, but finds none. He starts to go through the paperwork on his desk, but finds his mind wandering back to the situation on Carratos. He hopes that Ghent can provide some answers to this puzzle.
Luke is sure that the shirt Jade found is key, but doesn't know how. He is anxious for Zairon to reply to his message.

The comm buzzes and Luke checks it. It's a message from Mara, a report forwarded from Ghent, the slicer that works for Karrde.
"This is Mara," she answered. It was Ghent. "That was fast, Ghent! I only just got off the comm with Karrde.
"You did? I've been working for the last two hours." he informed her. Two hours? The vision must have lasted longer than she thought.
"What did you find?"
Ghent's holo rubbed the back of his neck. "You're not gonna like it. Every official report I sliced into reported that there was no body. People saw the woman go down during the riot, but a body wasn't recovered."
Mara frowned, considering. "You're right, Ghent, I don't like it. Thanks for the information, I'll pass it on to Luke."
"Right. Later, Mara."
He reviews transcript of the report. It has to do with the woman that went down during the riot. There is no autopsy report because there was no body recovered.
Luke sits back and thinks about this. Why would there be no body recovered? Instead of answers, this new information has just created more questions.

An encrypted message comes in from Zairon:
"I suspect the same, however without proof I can't do anything. I'm looking into leads, but I can't simply walk up to High Command and claim the Emperor is insane without proof. If they don't believe me that means he'll find out and I'll be removed from any position where I can save Carratos from his insanity."
As Luke is reviewing it, there comes a knock at the door.
"Come in," says Luke.

Ross walks in and bows, "Master Skywalker, I received an encrypted message from my master saying it is clear to trust you with the truth now." He says.
Ross looks up hesitantly, "I apologize for the deception and meant no ill-will. I hope that you won't hold it against me. Once I tell you why I hope you'll understand."
"My name is not Ross. My name is Naver. I am an Imperial Knight working for Lord Zairon." He says. "Once again I apologize for the deception. Zairon didn't give me full details, however he did tell me that because of some disagreements on Naboo he wasn't sure you'd help if he requested aid himself. He was worried that you might inform Lord Ire of his request."
"According to the message he sent me, you and him have been talking and he feels you can be trusted not to blow his cover. As such, first I will tell you the truth and why it was covered up."
Ross nods at a chair. "It's a rather long story, mind if I take a seat?"
