Darth Nox reached out with the Force and choked the Republic spy, "Now, before I take your life away, answer this. Where is Grand Master Satele Shan?" The Spy tries to catch his breath while being choked, "I…will…not…tell…you…Sith…scum…" "Ouch, I honestly thought that we were going to be friends but I guess not." Nox releases the Spy and gets eye level with him, "I will not ask you again. Where is Satele Shan? I need to find here immediately." He orders as the spy spits in his face, "Never. I swore to protect her location. Kill me now because I won't reveal her…." The Spy lets out a scream of pain as Nox reaches into his mind through the Force. "Give me the information that I WANT!" Nox said to himself, "I actually don't want to kill the Jedi. Not this time. I need her help and to give her information about something the Sith discovered a few days ago. Now, are you going to cooperate?" The Sith asked the Pub nicely. "I won't….I will comply with your….No! I won't…I swore…." The Spy goes into a debatable stance as he fights off Nox's intrusion. Nox sighed to himself and thought for a moment before standing up and leaving Pub on the ground to recover. "Andronikus, anything from my spy network?" "Afraid not Sith. However, the Dark Council have been trying to contact you. I told them you were busy with our guest." "Patch them into the Holoterminal."

A few moments later the Dark Council appears in front of Nox, "Do you have the whereabouts of Master Satele yet?" "No Marr. My Guest hasn't been that cooperative. Not yet at least." There was a moment of silence but Nox could sense the anger and impatience coming from the Council, except Marr, "Keep trying. We have reports coming in that there is something originating from the other side. And as much as we hate to admit it, we want the Jedi involved. Well, the Republic in general but the Jedi." Marr finished and Nox nods in approval, "I understand. I will find Satele Shan and being her to this anomaly. Hopefully, the Republic can help us." The Council nod at Nox and cut the transmission, "Andronikus, contact the Hand of the Emperor and get a progress report. Hopefully he has some whereabouts." "Already on it Sith." Andronikus says over the comms as Knox turns to the Spy, "Now, what do to about you. I could kill you but I also could let you go. I have no need for you. Just Satele Shan." Knox says hand on the hilt of his lightsaber waiting to the Spy to respond. "I'm impressed Darth Nox. I thought all Sith were killers on the spot but you? You are different from the rest of the Sith." He sits down on the bench behind him and focuses his breathing. "She was right you know. About you, about Marr, you two are the only two Sith among the Empire that can see reason. Tell you whatt Lord Knox, I will provide you the coordinates to her and let you speak to her in person." Knox raises an eyebrow in curiosity, "I didn't expect this to go this way." He said to himself, "Very well Republic. Go to the cockpit and put them in yourself BUT try and mislead me or my pilot, you will be killed by him." "I understand and will not try anything." The Republic Spy stood up and went toward the cockpit. "I just hope Satele can help us…" Knox said before going to his cabin and meditating.

A few moments later Nox is jerked out of his meditation by the sound of sirens. He opens his eyes and becomes agitated, "Andronikus, what in the name of the Dark Side is going on here?" He says through pure anger. "Well Sith, we are under attack by Republic fighters. I'm currently avoiding all of their fire but they keep saying to "Surrender under the order of Grand Master Satele Shan." Sith, I think your Grand Master is here." Andronikus says as the ship jolts, "Sith, CONTACT THAT SHIP." Knox lets out a snarl and then walks over to the holoterminal. "This is Darth Nox of the Dark Council. Master Satele, we are here under a flag of peace surprisingly. Order your fighters and gun batteries to stop firing upon us. The Dark Council has a proposition for you and the Republic. Well, mostly the Jedi." Knox says trying to keep the anger inside of him contained for this moment. Waiting a little bit Satele Shan appears on the Holoterminal. "What exactly does the Dark Council have to offer the Jedi other than death and stopping peace across the galaxy?" Satele says as calm as can be which disgusted Nox. "The Sith Fleet as encountered an anomaly of unknown origin. Since it is in neutral space, the Dark Council has authorized me to act on their behalf to conduct this business." Nox said with a calm collected anger in his voice. Satele stays on the holoterminal, pondering as to what the Dark Lord said. "Darth Nox, you seem to have piqued my interest and I am not sensing any deception from you. Which is quite a surprise honestly." She says still in her calm state. "I will allow you and those on your vessel access to our ship. Have your skillful pilot land in our aft shuttle bay. I will greet you myself Sith." Master Satele ended the channel and Nox let out his anger, letting a cloud of darkness appear around him. "Andronikus, go toward the Dreadnought's Aft shuttle bay. We have been welcomed aboard by the Grand Master herself." "Aye Sith. The Ship will be there in a few minutes." Andronikus says being careful with his words toward Darth Nox.
