Caedyn Arenais stood within the conference room aboard the Vagabond Heavy Cruiser awaiting his new guest, his gaze staring out through the transparisteel view port, mind heavy in thought. Since the attack of Den Velmor, followed up by the skirmish with the Bryn'adul, the Order had been rife with high priority assignments and met with numerous questions and accusations from outside peoples looking for information into what they were doing regarding the current warring state of the Galaxy.
Today, Caedyn hoped that they would atleast be able to answer one of the questions posed to them; 'Where have the enslaved been taken, following the attack of Velmor. When will the people see their loved ones again'. It was difficult to deny the outcome of the investigation taken into the actions of Darth Thuyrn, and the likelihood that those the Sith had managed to take from Velmor, were out of their reach by now. Still, they had to try...
Which had brought Caedyn Arenais to the orbit of Amar, in which the Silver Assembly had organized for him to meet with a fellow Jedi colleague to undertake a mission into Sith Space. The assignment objective was straight forward, there no two ways to read their orders to follow up on the possible lead of a slave trading operation, and dismantle it. Easier said than realistically done, their mission was of a discrete nature and there would be little if any back-up were the two agents to be apprehended by the Sith.
What's more, this would be their first meeting. Caedyn and Rafiq knew little of one another, and as curious as this was, it seemed that would soon change over the coming assignment for which they'd find no other friendly company within sight once they hit their objective location.
