Rey and Barrick, in unision, say "The Ca'rael Building," and then look at each other, seemingly stunned.

"YOU TOO?" Larsek says in Barrick's direction.

"Unit Aurek-Nen-Wesk. You?"

"Unit Esk-Cherek-Senth. We need to talk."

"I know."


Barrick speaks up. "The Ca'rael Building is a secure building on the far side of the planet. By day, it would seem to be one of the more prestigious Law Firms in the Republic...you may even recall some of their Partners worked on that shock-ball star's murder case a few years ago...got him off the hook, too, by noting four technicalities and providing the jury with a pair of pants that didn't fit."

Regardless, there are three floors in this building where the records are kept on some of the most secure mainframes in existence. They are connected to no network, besides their own, not even elsewhere in the tower. One of these mainframes, though, does not belong to the firm. It connects to their secure computer bank via a one-way access that pumps data in and 'archives' it...or so everyone is supposed to think. It doesn't do anything with the data, though...it just dumps it."

This seperate mainframe, unknown to most of the Firm, is a container for the Republic's most secret of secrets. It it housed in a seperate, secure room, encased in enough ferrocrete and durasteel as to survive a supernova. It has a fusion generator to provide power, and is housed in hard vacuum."

It is guarded by fifty, deep undercover cell-operatives, most of whom don't know of all of each other. They work various jobs in the tower, from janitorial duties to a couple of Partners in the Firm. I'm not sure which ones."

Regardless, if the deletion has been as thorough as Larsek says, then the one place no one could have touched yet would be that mainframe."

I believe, honestly, that Joneth can get our data---but we have to get him there to access it. Eciel, we need your expertise here, too...and Bakilas...and you, Terassk. Hell, we probably can't even do this without the Jedi...we need all three of you."

Oh, and one more thing. General Larsek? You are to be accompanied AT ALL TIMES by an armed guard, besides Rain here. Any volunteers for that?"

Barrick stands, waiting for a response. Clearly he will not move until someone volunteers.

OOC: Some bits from Larseks' data to be posted immediately in the discussion thread.
