[ Senate ] Security Investigation
-

Shebi Ajava - PC
Ajava contacted both padawan: "Ariana, can you send me which areas are covered by the public networks around the Senate Building? If there is a fourth device that is not on the videos, but still accessed the network, I should be able to figure out its approximate location while online. I'll look into that while you two track your leads."
Once she received the area information from Ariana, Shebi went back to the command centre of senate security to access the tapes again. She grabbed a map of the senate building's surroundings, and requested someone to make a map overlay of area covered by security camera's and other accessible camera's. Keeping in mind that the fourth person might very well be out of the camera's because they were in command of the whole operation and were somewhere they could visually track the progress of the drawing, she made sure to note locations that gave a good vantage point of the square.
((Check: 12 = 6 Force Level + 3 Reason + 1 Military Command + 2 Stealth -- Analysing possible locations for an operations commander to sit outside of video coverage, but inside of network range.))

((OOC: How embarrassing, I was sure I mentioned their races, but it appears I did not. Two of the three subjects appear human, though they could be Remunzian, Sundarian or Hiocan instead - near humans are hard to tell apart even for humans. The street artist is a Wookie.))
Arriving at the store, Trigiel quickly explained to the surprised storekeeper how he wasn't a droid, but a cyborg.
"If you are a cyborg... why are you naked?" the salesperson inquired, referring to Trigiel's lack of clothing.
Without waiting for an answer, the man got out a datapad.
"Let never a rumour start that I do not cooperate with the Jedi!" he prevented Trigiel from having to use form zero. "I believe I have the account number here... let me send it to your datapad."
From his sensing, Trigiel could tell the man was being truthful, wanting desperately to keep his reputation as an honest businessman and trustworthy trade partner.
The man transferred the transcript to Trigiel's datapad, who quickly got the information to Ariana, as the Praetorian Padawan needed it at the bank.
Using Trigiel's information, Ariana was able to get access to the records surrounding the account from a cooperative bank manager, whom she was easily able to convince with her check of 8.
The account was registered without a name, but it was linked to an address on Unity, in one of the back area's near the edge of the city. Whomever owner the account would likely be living there as it was the only place from which to validate fund transfers - a safety feature to prevent anyone from stealing the money.
Meanwhile, Ajava's analysis of the area around the Senate noted that it was unlikely that the fourth person had actually been on the square at all - the coverage of camera's was just too good. However, using her excellent skill as a commander, she realised the person would still have needed a spot to see the operation from.
As nearby buildings and deliberately somewhat distant for this exact reason, and they were generally pretty well secured, she realised there was one possibility she had not looked into yet: the person could have been in a hovercar in one of the nearby traffic lanes.
Inspecting footage from traffic camera's of the traffic lanes nearby, she was able to identify a vehicle which was suspiciously parked next to the traffic lane, in mid air and overlooking towards the square, during the deed. Most likely having pretended to have engine trouble, the enclosed vehicle offered no glimpse of the fourth man, but it was close enough for access to the network and it had thus likely been their base.
Though there were not enough traffic camera's to trace the vehicle back to its origin, Shebi was able to read the registration number. Tracing it back she was able to find the address of the owner - though no name had been registered in what was a very peculiar and suspicious clerical error.
The address was right next door to the one Ariana and Trigiel had found.
No doubt this location was the next place to go!
((OOC: If you wish to do any more investigation in the square and senate building, please do so now - you may not get another chance once we move to the address.
When you are ready to move on, please provide me with any equipment you bring and any other measures you take in your post stating you're ready.))

"I'll meet you two back at the temple. I'll arrange for a hovercar." Ajava told the others, and she informed them of her findings. She memorized the car's registration number and appearance, and went back to the Jedi temple to get a few choice pieces of equipment, and a fast hovercar.
She thought about taking a traditional jedi robe with her, but almost everyone in the Union knew to recognize the easily overlooked brown robes, so she might be better of with her normal armour.
((OOC: List of equipment:
Ready to go!))

((OOC: List of equipment:
- Her blue lightsaber (waterproofed by Darones)
- Her composite recurve bow
- A wireless communicator headset
- A translation matrix loaded with Ryl and the Wookie language.
Ready to go!))
Before they leave Ariana checks the public records for the public network coverage in the area they are going to. She checks for a location to upload her program close to the destination and modifies the program to give an estimation of the location of the spotted devices.
((Check: 11 = 5 Force Level + 5 Reason + 1 Programming -- Modifying the program to return estimates of the locations of the connected devices))
Ariana brings the information they gathered and the program she wrote on her datapad. She brings three stun grenades as an option to subdue their targets in case they might think of running or resisting.
((OOC: Equipment list:
Dagger blade and regular blade lightsabers with short handles
First Aid Kit
Engineers Kit
Communication pad (A very advanced touchscreen computer device for communication and interfacing with larger systems)
Backpack (containing the First Aid Kit, Engineers Kit and communication pad), worn
A wireless communicator headset, worn
three stun grenades, on belt))

"Let's go with two cars, that's more convenient when it comes down to a chase. I see you at the jedi temple ."
Trigiel went through some likely scenarios in his head:
Arrive, kick in the door, encounter some slave rebellion Twi-leks, rumble the humble, knock some down and chase the others.
Arrive, chase immediately as they fled.
Arrive, kick in the door, rumble the humble and many lasers
Arrive, kick in the door, find nothing
Arrive, kick in the door, look for trouble and loot the room.
No nothing they couldn't handle.
Should they take a protocol droid to translate? No, to vulnerable.
Maybe it was clever to pack a vibro-crowbar, if they needed to demolish a door instead of melt a door. Yes, that is a good idea.
((OOC: Build in
sensitive optics (infra red, ultra violet, night sight zoom function)
Hidden water proof arm pockets for lightsabers
comm link (So no direct speech is needed)
Hidden water proof compartments at the side of both upper legs, big enough for a small blaster each.
Hidden water proof compartments at the sides of his chest, convenient sized.
Carrying
Two tonfa handled lightsabers (in arm pockets)
A small blaster (in right hidden leg compartment)
A grappling hook 40 ft/ 14 m (as seen in episode 1, during the battle of Naboo) (Left leg compartment)
E-11 sniper rifle with 'stun' augmentation.
Vibro-crowbar
As in Star Wars everything has to be fancy, so is the crowbar :). As military guns have a 'stun' setting, I think a sniper can have one as well. Also: jeej, someone finally noticed that Trigiel is naked, depending on the definition of cours. :D))

Shebi easily arranged for a fast hover car to take them there from the Quartermaster.
Ariana meanwhile discovered that there was no public network in the area just commercial ones. She could not activate the program from here but if she managed to find a terminal in the area she'd be able to upload the program there. Physical access was the key: if she could get to the terminal it'd only take her a few seconds to upload and activate the program.
At Trigiel's request a second fast hover car was secured from the Quartermaster who grumbled something about "better bring it back, and watch the sniper rifle, it has a nasty recoil on the stun setting"
((OOC: The nasty recoil is purely a roleplay effect. It does not affect your use of it in any way.
Not everyone stated this explicitly but I am presuming you are all ready to go, so I am moving on. The wall-tile applies :P))

Now well equipped, the Jedi rode off in their hover cars towards their intended destination.
The street was simple and clean - indoors in a larger structure allowing the streets to be lit without causing light pollution. To the right was a Cantina, with a marker for a public data terminal, no doubt something Ariana would be able to use.
Across from here was a hallway lid with orange-red light, with the entry way to the two houses, the left one for the bank account registration and the right one for the car registration. The car itself was not visible, but it was likely parked outside the main structure as these hallways were not intended for vehicles.
Despite this place being clean, the Jedi got the feeling this was not regular housing - this was a seedy part of town with people who did not have the best intentions for others. Of course all cities had parts like this and Unity City was no exception.

"Ok. Ariana, do your thing with the network. Trigiel, go around back and find out if they have a back door. When Ariana is finished, she will join me and I will knock on their door and friendly inquire as to there whereabouts, and whether they would have a problem with us looking around for a bit.
If they run, arrest them. Questions?"
If they run, arrest them. Questions?"
"What if they run into different directions? Anyone in particular to arrest? I go for the one I do not recognize from the video footage as that would be the person in the car.
I will be able to stun them all of course but just checking the targets." Trigiel his lower headflaps extended a little, as he was smiling. Then he walked around the compound to see if there was a back door. He also looked around to check if he saw the car somewhere.

"Roger that, I will meet you at the front entrance."
Ariana went inside the Cantina looking for the public terminal and installed her tracker and transmitted the information to her datapad.
If anybody disturbed her she would flash one of her lightsabers and say: "Mind your own business."
If all went according to plan she returned to the front entrance but stayed out of sight. She opened a map of the area on her datapad that would display dots for the devices they were tracking on the estimated location.
((Check: 12 = 5 Force Level + 5 Reason + 2 Slicing -- Breaking into the terminal's software and installing her tracker program, sending the output to her datapad))

Ajava waited till Ariana was back. If she didn't hear from Trigiel that something was amiss, she walks up to the door of the bank registration house.
She rang, and waited for a reply. If someone opened the door, she would tell him or her that they were investigating a security incident, and would like to ask a few questions. If they wouldn't open the door, she would knock on it, and call out that they were senate security, in hopes of shocking the one inside into action.
((OOC: Apologies for the conditional, but I want to keep up the speed; and a dialogue is isn't as fast.))

Ariana moved in towards the terminal, easily breaking in with her slicing skills and installing the tracker program.
As the program uploaded, Trigiel moved around back - the car was nowhere to be seen, but the building did have an emergency exit in the back to allow residents to get out in case of a fire or other calamity. It also made a convenient escape route so it was good someone was covering it.
Meanwhile, Ajava rang the door and hearing no response she switched to knocking and calling about senate security.
Inside, she picked up on sounds, and though she could not make out what was going on, she was at least sure someone or something was in there.
Ariana's program blinked on, having finished the upload and installation. Upon her pad she could see three figures located on the ground floor in the left (bank account registration) building, a fourth being located in the right (car registration) building.
From the looks of it, they were inside, but the Jedi would have to go in to get them...

"I have located the three figures in the left building on the ground floor and the fourth is located in the right building. We are definitely at the right location."

Upon hearing where the suspects were from Ariana, Ajava quickly informed both Ariana and Trigiel of the new plan.
"I just knocked. They're not opening. I'll take the car registration house, you two take the other one. Ready?
Three.
Two.
One.
Go!"
And with that Ajava burst through the door of the right building, and rushed to the location of the suspect. She had already grabbed her lightsaber but did not expect she needed to turn it on.
((Check: 11 = 6 Force Level + 4 Strength + 1 Force Speed -- kicking in the door, and rushing the suspect.))

At the moment Ariana heard Ajava crashing into her door she immediately smashed through the front door of the left building. She rushed directly to the location of the suspects expecting Trigiel to flank them.

"Why do you claim the fun? Ah well, we get the wookie."
At the same time of Ajava, Trigiel kicked in the back door of the left building to cut of the escape of the three suspects.
((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 4 Strength + 1 Telekinesis -- kicking in the door and rushing the suspects.))

-KLABANG!-
With excessive force the three doors were kicked open, three Jedi rushing inside.
Ariana smashed her way into the living room where two humans and a Wookie were located, aiming rifles at her from behind an overturned couch. As soon as she entered they opened fire, forcing her to activate her lightsaber to deflect the blaster fire and slowing her advance so she was not able to reach them yet!
At the same time, Trigiel moved in from the back with at least as much loudness but despite of this apparently going unnoticed. Moving through the back hallway, he soon found himself on the other side behind the three men, flanking them with Ariana.
The Wookie did not hesitate for a second, charging at Trigiel with a loud cry of battle as only Wookies can make from the depths of their throats.
Meanwhile, Ajava crashed into the other building. Inside several junkies were laying about on furniture as well as the floor. They were so high that they did not even bother to react. Sensing something upstairs, the Veolian warrior rushed past the junks who wouldn't be going anywhere, rushing into the bedroom there and breaking through the door.
As splinters flew through the air, a Zabrak woman let out a loud and somewhat girlish scream as a large Falleen man with strong muscles aimed his rifle up to the Jedi's face, ready to shoot, though from his nakedness it was clear he had been expected to be firing something else at a different woman.
((OOC: In many circumstances I might call for a fight with checks, but as Jedi you are so complete superior in all regards that there is no point in it. I leave it to you to describe how you go about the combat and what marvellous and awesome skill you use to take them down!))

"Why again did we get the Wookie?" The padawan said out loud facing the Wookie. His headlight turned red and his head flaps extended naturally to make him look bigger. Not that it helped anything against the Wookie. Dodging the blaster shots from the large creature, Trigiel ran closer. At the last moment he made a backwards salto kicking the gun out of the hands of the Wookie. When the Wookie wanted to punch back, Trigiel ducked down so the Wookie only hit air or himself. Without hesitation Trigiel jumped up making a very powerful uppercut to the chin of the Wookie. The hand of the cyborg went emidiately down, grabbing the arm of his opponent. With a spin he brought the hairy beast out of balance what granted the padawan the opportunity to hurl the Wookie to the two humans.
At this point it was clear that Trigiel could handle the Wookie with ease and that he was just toying with him. There was some tension in the padawan and he saw this as an excellent opportunity to blow of some steam. "Oh, now I remember, because we get the fun."
Trigiel walked closer in to the Wookie, giving him an punch in the stomach followed by a side step to dodge the Wookie. Trigiel continued to punch and dodge the Wookie for some time till the latter one began to worn down. Trigiel finished by a sweep with his legs over the ground to tackle the Wookie, letting gravity do his work with the mass of the large creature.
Now it was time to help Ariana with her two humans.
If Ariana wasn't finished yet, Trigiel helped her by grabbing one of the humans by the arm and forced him down. Then up, then down, up again only to be hurled towards the other human or the Wookie, depending on the most logical target. Effectively finishing the fight.
"We're done, what's your status?" He said over holo only.

Ajava faced a bit of a problem: she didn't know which of the two was the leader of the outfit. The three padawan had found out that it was a wookie and a few near-humans. The one they presumed to be the leader of the operation was never seen. She presumed it was the man, but it might just as well be that he is just the muscle, while she is the actual leader.
Ajava stashed her train of though fot later. Regardless of who is the leader, there is only one person in the room aiming a gun at her.
Using force speed, Ajava quickly closes the distance and dodges the first shot. She grabs the barrel of the gun with her free left hand and holds on while she spins along the barrel. Before he can fire a second shot she plants her right elbow squarely on the side of the Falleen's head. As he goes slack his grip on the gun weakens, and Ajava easily disarms him.
Having removed the immediate threat in a fast and efficient manner, she tosses the rifle to the ground.
"Don't try anything. You'll go down just as fast.", she warns the woman.
When Trigiel's message comes in, Ajava makes sure she keeps an eye on the woman while answering. "Everything's peachy. A few junkies on the first floor, one suspect on the second floor is neutralized. Give me a few minutes to sort out the other one."
Ajava turns her full attention on the woman. She takes a moment to analyse her demeanour and body language, walking a little closer before speaking.
"I am a Jedi with senate security. One of you two", motioned to the Falleen, "is coming with me to explain a problematic painting. If you're not involved, and if I'm happy with your answers, you'll have no problems."
Ajava followed up with a few questions, she kept it friendly, but made sure the woman understood the seriousness of the situation: what's her name? Who is he? What is her relation to him? Does she own the car outside, if not does he? Does she own a datapad, and if not, is it his? What does she know of what's going on here? If the woman appears to be lying, or omitting things, Ajava will remind her of her situation by activating her lightsaber.
((OOC: My actions depend on whether the Zabrak woman is relevant or not. If the Zabrak woman is irrelevant, by all means fast-forward us to the important things.
If she is implicating herself (by lying, omitting info or trying to escape, etc.) as a suspect instead of 'the ladyfriend of', I would like the opportunity to react accordingly. Unless you think that will hold up the thread too much, in which case go ahead and fast-forward it anyway ^_^))

When Trigiel's message comes in, Ajava makes sure she keeps an eye on the woman while answering. "Everything's peachy. A few junkies on the first floor, one suspect on the second floor is neutralized. Give me a few minutes to sort out the other one."
Ajava turns her full attention on the woman. She takes a moment to analyse her demeanour and body language, walking a little closer before speaking.
"I am a Jedi with senate security. One of you two", motioned to the Falleen, "is coming with me to explain a problematic painting. If you're not involved, and if I'm happy with your answers, you'll have no problems."
Ajava followed up with a few questions, she kept it friendly, but made sure the woman understood the seriousness of the situation: what's her name? Who is he? What is her relation to him? Does she own the car outside, if not does he? Does she own a datapad, and if not, is it his? What does she know of what's going on here? If the woman appears to be lying, or omitting things, Ajava will remind her of her situation by activating her lightsaber.
((OOC: My actions depend on whether the Zabrak woman is relevant or not. If the Zabrak woman is irrelevant, by all means fast-forward us to the important things.
If she is implicating herself (by lying, omitting info or trying to escape, etc.) as a suspect instead of 'the ladyfriend of', I would like the opportunity to react accordingly. Unless you think that will hold up the thread too much, in which case go ahead and fast-forward it anyway ^_^))
While entering the room Ariana activates her regular bladed lightsaber to deflect the incoming rifle fire.
Instead of grabbing her other lightsaber she grabs a stun grenade from her belt. She throws the grenade over the couch where it bounces off the wall and lands between the human targets. After the grenade hits the ground the targets are disoriented and stunned from the grenade that produces a bright flash.
Directly after the impact Ariana rushes over the couch and disarms the two human suspects. "You are under arrest for public disturbance and attacking Jedi."
"Targets neutralized. The two humans will be down for a while. Do you require assistance?"

After hearing Ariana saying the 'you are under arrest' part, Trigiel remembered that he had totally forgot to say that: "The same goes for you, Wookie, everything you growl can and might be used against you if I can understand it. Or not understand for that matter." His head flaps and head light turned back to normal.

Ajava interrupted her questioning of the woman to respond to Ariana.
"Negative. Assistance will not be required. Give me a few more minutes, and I'll meet you at the car with the suspect."

Ariana and Trigiel quickly dispatched the Wookie and the two humans, and within minutes they were outside again, a Security Forces hoover-van moving in to take away the suspects to jail.
Ajava meanwhile secured the suspects on her end. Sensing something in the Force drawing her to a small cabinet, she opened the drawer to find a datapad inside - the very datapad that had been used earlier during the painting job. It was pink.

((OOC: Is the woman not reacting at all to my interrogation? I described what I wanted to do: I was asking some questions in my previous post. From your reply I get a nice hint, but no actual results of my actions...
In all honesty, it seems as if only my latest post was taken into account. And that post was only in reaction to the other two, while the post before that listed my actual actions. If the finding of the datpad was meant as something that interrupted my original actions and allows me to do somthing else, I would very much like for such an interrupt to me noted a bit more explicitly.
If it was not meant as such, I would like the results of my actions: right now I'm not sure whether this is fast forwarding, or whether you missed my earlier post.))

((OOC: Although I understand that the posts can become a little complicated when we post several posts in a row, I see how Ajava's player is a little disappointed/confused about the result. It has a feeling of:
'I want to roleplay the interrogation'
'Okay, here is a pink datapad.'
A little out of the blue.))

I am waiting for Mercury to continue the interrogation.))
