Running through, Grainne sees Kal and stops. "Stay here and keep and ear out! Com me if there is an issue!" Hugging him she heads to the Banshee's wail and gears up for the trip.

A message comes in originating on Carratos. It is addressed to Caitlin Windancer.
Lady Windancer this is Executor Zairon of the RGE. We really need to meet and talk at your earliest convenience. Contact me with a time and a neutral location. We have matters to discuss that are very important to the relationship between the Empire and the Jedi.

On their way back from Yavin Prime, Takeda checks with control to make sure the traffic pattern is clear.
It is a quick and uneventful return to the temple, as soon as they land Takeda hops up and heads to the ramp.
"Lets go get your box and take a peek."

Grainne's holo pops up and she bows, "Master Windancer, if you would come to the Old Temple. I think there is something going on, and I would like to speak to you about it." The holo closes.

Yes, Let's take a peek. I really am curious on what we found.
Cait unbuckles the her strap and gets up to walk back toward where the box is stored.
As she walks her comm beeps with two messages.
Now what? She sees one is from Grainne and the other is from Lord Zairon of the RGE.
Oh, great I just know this means trouble.
She listens to Grainne's first with a raised eyebrow when she hears what Grainne says.
Master Windancer, if you would come to the Old Temple. I think there is something going on, and I would like to speak to you about it
She reluctantly listens to Zairon's message not sure she wants to hear it.
Lady Windancer this is Executor Zairon of the RGE. We really need to meet and talk at your earliest convenience. Contact me with a time and a neutral location. We have matters to discuss that are very important to the relationship between the Empire and the Jedi.
She listens puzzled. Why is he contacting me? Luke is head of the Jedi Order. He is the one that makes the decisions for the Order not me. First I'll talk to Grainne then I will answer him. She thinks.
To Takeda. I think I need to go to Coruscant. Grainne wants to see me at the Old Temple there. I wonder what's up? But first let's look at that box before I die of curiosity.

Takeda retrieves the items from the compartment they were stowed in by the arm. With the way Cait said she needs to go to Courscant he immediately hands her the box. He then pulls out the gems, one of which is huge but not a perfect specimen.
"Dweezel, run a check on the ship to make sure we took no damage, and top us off on fuel, I have a sneaking suspicion we are heading right back out."
He then looks at Cait expectantly as she holds the box.
"Besides the obvious, any idea what it is?"

Cait takes the box from Takeda and turns it over gently to examine it from all sides. It is smooth and cool to the touch. She feels a throb of power from inside the box.
It's Sidhe of course. It's beautiful. There is a sense of power coming from the inside of the box. She checks the latch but it doesn't budge. Hmmm....interesting. This is more than it seems. I wonder.... She starts to hum a tune. The latch suddenly clicks open. She opens the lid and looks inside.
Oh.... look at this Takeda. She pulls out two necklaces.
The first one is a silvery chain from which hangs a tiny golden lantern, in which the center of which, on tiny post is a yellow sapphire. It starts to glow softly as she holds it. It grows brighter and brighter until it lights up the room. A Pendant of Light. Cait says in awe. I have heard of them but never expected to see one. The process to make them has been forgotten.
The second necklace is a small silvery amulet on a silver chain it is forged in the shape of two coiled serpents. Cait can sense the pulse of power from it. I wonder what this does. It is definitely a thing of power. Hmmm....this seems familiar I have read of it or seen it somewhere before. Something about poisons.

Takeda examines the box... noticing there is no noticeable conventional lock...
"Now that is impressive, if your brother does not know that one already he will probably be as interested in this as the necklaces."
Takeda looks at the necklaces in turn, studying them.; noting the outstanding craftsmanship.
"They are quite beautiful, Other than produce light what does an Amulet of Light do?"

Cait chuckles. Actually he does know. It is not an uncommon type of Sidhe lock. The key is music. But the trick is to find the music that opens it.
As far as I know it only produces light but you can control how much light it produces.

"That can come in very handy.
Is there anything we need to get before heading back out?"

Yes, very. You can control it with your mind.
She thinks a moment. I'm not sure. I would like to check my office and see if there is anything I need to take care of here.
I would like to eat something as well. Why don't we meet back here in about ....hmmm an hour or would two be better?
Cait then sends a holo-message to Grainne.
Grainne got your message. I will be leaving for Coruscant shortly. Takeda will be with me and possibly Hana as well.
I just got a strange message from an Executor of the RGE he wants to meet to discuss the relationship between the Jedi and the Empire. Why he contacted me instead of Luke I have no idea. Do you know anything about this?

After Cait talks to Grainne she then walks off of Takeda's ship to go to Luke's office to leave him a copy of the message she received from Lord Zairon and to let him know she was going to Coruscant for a while.

The Stalker lands at pad Gamma and he shuts the ship down. Gathering his things he heads down the ramp and sets the service personnel to the task of refueling her and fixing anything needing repairs. He heads to his office to take care of some Shadow business.

Between times checking that Dweezel was behaving himself. Takeda gets on the com and makes a few calls.
He sets up a short series of meetings with various banks on Courscant. Then goes into his room on his ship and pulls out a box from his locker and opens it reverently.
He pulls the ancient tungsten and iron mask from the case, its surface pock-marked, and gritty, the ancient carvings of decoration barely readable.
Even though it was his, looking upon its face still gave him an sense of unease, as apparently was it's design. Its features exaggerating the lines of a face, removing any element of charm. Not having the ability do ever do so before, he calms himself and follows the flow of the force; wondering if there is anything special about this mask or if it is just unnerving craftsmanship.
The strands of the force that pass near the mask twist as they follow its lines, they become sharp and hard, or fragment into disturbing shapes. As he moves it form side to side, the shapes become more pronounced and bring an increasing feeling of unease. Closing his eyes and shaking his head to rid himself of the feeling, he withdraws his senses of the force, and places the mask back in the box.
"Well that explains that."
Takeda goes back to the coms and makes several more calls, one of which is down to the Cafe ordering up some prepared and boxes meals and plenty of beverages.
