There is nothing exotic in this record and that is the point. A guest list, a boarding scan, and a flight track placed the subject on Gilaria and off it before any other instrument was consulted. Whatever the man did to hide himself, he did not hide from the door he walked through.

CID note: the match required no special access. The Border division handed us a name and an affiliation; the rest is record-keeping and the FOSB-era files this Directorate never stopped maintaining.
TIER 1 — CORROBORATION: FORCE-SIDE [x]
ORDER OF VIGILANCE // INCIDENT REPORT
FILED BY: Knight-Vigilant Jett H. Zaldaren, Guild Commander
I am filing this against my better judgment, because I have nothing a man could hold in his hand and call evidence. What I have is an absence, and absences do not photograph well.
I attended the Vaimana function in a private capacity, in plain clothes, as one does when the Grand Vizier opens a resort to half the galaxy's Force users and calls it diplomacy.
Sometime in the late morning, before the Grand Vizier's arrival, I felt a hole. That is the only honest word for it. The beach was loud in the Force, every guest a candle, some of them bonfires. And moving through all of it was a space where a man should have been and was not. Not a gap in the crowd. A gap in the light. Someone had wrapped themselves so thoroughly that the Force simply declined to mention them. I noticed because noticing is the whole of my discipline.
By the time I had turned the feeling into a thought, the hole was already drifting back toward the shuttle line. I did not pursue. I had no name, no face, nothing to put at the end of the chase. The presence reached the docks and went out like a snuffed wick.
What I can attest to is this: a trained Force user attended under deliberate concealment, made no contact, and departed the moment the cloak had served its purpose. This was not a frightened apostate. This was tradecraft. I could not give you a name. I felt the shape of a thing and could not fill it.

[NO HEADER. NO SEAL. THE PAGE CONTINUES.]
He is good — the Knight, we mean. He felt a thing ninety-nine in a hundred would have drowned in the noise, and was disciplined enough not to chase it. Note him.
But the name was never in question on our side. Before Reingard ever accepted the invitation, he paid for eyes on the Jedi attending — a watcher to tell him which of his own would be behind the Black Wall. He believed he ran his own quiet operation. He did not. The watcher he hired draws breath at our discretion and reports, eventually, to a desk he will never see. He paid, in good Republic credit, for the privilege of telling us his itinerary.
We let the cloak do its work. A Jedi who walks in, confirms his worst suspicions, and walks out unmolested is a Jedi who tells his Council the Commonwealth is exactly the trap he feared — and brings the rest to the next open door, where we will be counting.
From the shadows, the flame will burn.
TIER 3 — APEX: PREDICTIVE [x][x][x][x]
VIGIL-0 // THREAT FORECAST LEDGER — TREGESSAR SECTOR
The reports above are accurate. They are also late. The absence the Knight described had been a line in this ledger for six days. The hole had a name, a homeworld, a service record, and a four-percent chance of drawing a weapon, all filed before his shuttle left the Commonwealth. None of it required intervention. A threat score of 0.18 is not a problem to be solved; it is a number to be kept current.
— OMNIA, advisory: "The Knight did well. Let him keep the feeling; it makes him sharp. The Flame did well; let them keep the name, it makes them proud. Each watcher should be watched by something colder, and told it is the coldest thing there is. That is not cruelty. That is architecture."
