Mara listens carefully to his Basic trying to grasp everything Tookie is saying. "You seem to have taught yourself well, Tookie. Do you know anything about what Black Sun is up to?"

"My lookins into dis not longins after de first reporties comies in aboutin dem." Tookie says as he looks over at Mara. "Wesas tinkin dat dey are heres for una of duey reasonies, eeder forum de spice or forum plasmee but wesa nottens suries whichen.
Tookie mentions Spice, illegal and a big credit maker for groups like Black Sun, and Plasma, one of Naboo's most common export and used to make effective blasters and ship weapons. Both are possiblities in Tookie's mind as the reason Black Sun is on planet but its still unknown to him if these are the real reasons or not. "My will helpins you wit whateverins mesa can helpins yousa wit, mesa wantins dees scummybuggies off Naboo justies as muchin asa da Queen."

"That fits with the things we have found out. It appears they are wanting to move the Hutt's out and take over. But something seems out of place. I fear that they may want more power than that." Luke pauses a moment, "We offer our services to the Queen, and will assist in any way we can. Your help is greatly appreciated Tookie."
"Thank you Jedi. We will accept your offer of assistance," states the Queen. "I am sure you will be of immense help."

Mara smiles at the queen. "Anything we can do to help, Your Majesty." A thought occurs to her. "If you'll excuse me for a moment, I need to make a call to the Jedi Temple."
Mara walks over to a corner to make her call without disturbing the queen. She dials up the Kenobi Ranch and waits for a response.

A small blue holo appears on her chrono. The holo looks up and seems somewhat startled. There's a stylus shoved in her bun along with it's usual green pins.
"Mara?" She says, "Is everything all right? I didn't expect to hear from you."

"Yes, Gert, we're fine. Something is about to go down with the Black Sun. I was wondering if you could go to Coruscant and poke around a bit. Covertly."

The holo tilts it's head and clears a new page to make notes on her holo pad. "Covertly huh? How covertly are we talking about here and what am I going to be looking for?"

"Covertly, as in Gertude Yonsz-Kenobi was never on Coruscant." Mara smiles down at the holo of Gert. "We think the Black Sun is planning a coup, either amongst themselves, or here on Naboo."

"May the Force be with you Mara. Give your husband our love." The holo fades.

"That's great Tookie. Do you know where this place is? Can you lead us there?" asks Luke. "Your Highness, could we have a squad of your Royal Guard?"
"Certainly. Captain Tosi, please make arrangements for a squad to accompany the Jedi," says the Queen.
Captain Tosi comms Sargeant Mosk. "Please have a squad of guards put on stand-by. They will be accompaning the Jedi on an investigation."
Sargeant Mosk replies, "Yes Captain."

Finished with her call, Mara goes to rejoin Luke and the others. She catches the end of the conversation. "Thank you for the Royal Guards, Your Highness. That should be a great help." To Luke she says: "Gert will go to Coruscant, find out what's going on."
