Cain stood Infront of Josa as she sighed from hearing his request. While Josa sat crossed leg in her high chair. She began to spin around in it her two lekku's twirled in the air until Cain stopped her with his foot. Cain's face showed he wasn't amused and was starting to lose his patience.
Josa pouted. "Come on Sephi boy do I really have to do that? I can give you a discount for your next commission or make your other friends some cool stuff instead. So what do you say?"
Cain's golden eyes narrowed. "Josa. You charged me 50,000 credits each for both of my commissions. Speaking of which is Anakin's done?"
"Oh right...." Josa said sitting up her eyes wide with excitement. "I almost forgot."
Then Josa ran to the back of the store where she lived and started looking through a pile. After a few minutes of stuff being thrown out of the door way and almost hitting Cain, Josa appeared with another metal case.
She slid on top of it back to the front of the shop like it was a sled. She had a wide smile on her face that showed her excitement. "Here you go boss man." Josa opened the case and what Cain saw put a smile on his face.
"Glad to see you like my work. I don't understand why you had me make two different helmets though. But I think the mask works well. But just so you know you and Anakin will have to come back in the future for adjustments. I doubt you both will stay 5'11 (180.34 cm), forever. At most maybe 6 foot and some change."
Cain stood up closing the case . And looked slightly down at Josa , the deep blue Twi'lek stood at 5'3" (160 cm).
"There is a method to my madness Josa. But fine since you are done with my commissions can you just give me a holo frequency for Hera, I will do the introduction myself." Cain said
"Fine, fine. I can do it that. Let's say a fee of 500 credits." Josa said with a small smile.
Cain's eyes narrowed. "No can do. I'm broke."
"Hahahaha...." Josa laughed. "Your not serious are you mr big book writer and game maker."
Cain's expression didn't change.
"Oh shit... I didn't think it was that bad. What are your books not selling anymore?"
Cain shook his head. "No between the Dune and Conan the Barbarian books, and my D&D game, everything is doing very well. But my problem is I am spending credits quicker then I get them." Cain then sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose. "I'm paying for to many things but until I come across a big score I will be in debt by next month."
"Why not be a bounty hunter?" Josa asked.
"To small pay and unstable work. Unless the contract can pay 100,000 credits at minimum and wouldn't get me in trouble with the Hutts and other syndicates then sure. Plus some contractors don't like to pay."
"Okay what about going treasure hunting. I know the Jedi have forgotten temples all over the galaxy that are lost or forgotten. I'm sure those have plenty of treasures worth a good number of credits."
Cain chuckled "I'm not selling Jedi artifacts. Some of that stuff is very dangerous if in the wrong hands. And don't even think about suggesting Sith artifacts. Those will either be destroyed or studied."
"What about krayt dragon pearls, those are worth a fortune. So you and your group of Jedi can hunt 5 or 10 of them together. You could get yourself enough credits to not have to worry about anything."
She wasn't wrong but there are multiple problems with that plan. If it was just him and Anakin then he would say yes, but Cain didn't want to get his friends in Danger. Well more danger then they signed up for.
"So there is a problem with that plan. First Krayt dragons aren't your average sized lizard. Depending how old they are will determine how big they are. Not to mention their are different types from the regular krayt, Red Canyon Krayt and the Greater krayt. If your really unlucky the most formidable type is the Leviathan krayt dragon. These things will be the size of a decent space cruiser if not way bigger."
"So your saying it's impossible for you ?"
Cain shook his head. "That's not what I am saying. Look Jedi don't go out of their way to hunt creature for sport or greed. Even if I do need the credits." Unless I can get my hands on Plagueis's accounts he used or the clone army. Unfortunately Palpatine is in charge of it now.
I wonder if I can get him to be my sugar daddy or Anakin's? Oh God no, that sent a shiver down my spine, even if it was a joke.
Then Josa spoke.
"Why not go to the Krayt Graveyard?"
Cain's eyes widen from hearing that name. "Wait... the what?"
"Yeah I heard rumors that there is this Krayt Graveyard all krayts dragons go to when they get to old and are ready to die. I don't know where it is but if you don't want to fight them then go there. Think of all the Dragon pearls you can find there. There should be a good number of them plus their bones and venom sacks if you can find them are worth a lot of credits. You could make a few hundred thousand if not millions of credits."
"You could also go to Canto Bight on Cantonica, or the planet Kaal. Cantonica is A desert planet known for its casino city. Kaal a tropical resort world located in the Mid Rim with numerous casinos. Nar Shaddaa is another also another choice but if you don't want to die before leaving the planets or piss off the hutts I would avoid it. Don't even think about gambling here on Coruscant. Well dressed like a Jedi anyway. I don't think they do blood test here, but you can never be to sure."
Cain then went to pick up and hug and spin Josa around. She was happy kicking her feet while spinning in Cain's arms. "Calm down little Sephi boy. I know I am genius." Then Cain kissed her on her cheek.
"Awww little Sephi boy your so sweet. I'll also take credits as payments."
"Why do you keep calling me little sephi boy? Im 14 and taller then you?"
Josa then hopped back in her chair and began to get back to work after pressing some buttons on a holo communicator.
"I sent you Hera's frequency. And I call you little sephi boy because your a baby compared to me."
Cain lifted a eyebrow. "How old are you?"
"Oh little sephi boy, didn't the Jedi ever tell you not to ask a girl her age. But if you must know I am 24 years old."
Cain just narrowed his eyes looking at Josa then he sighed. It's hard to believe this girl is older then me.
"Thanks Josa. I am leaving Coruscant starting tomorrow so I don't know when I will be back." Josa just waved her hand as she put on her goggles and sparks began to fly as she began to work again.
Cain just smiled and got the metal cases and left the shop. He made his way back to his apartment and put his cases down. After showering and eating.
Then Cain went for a hidden holo communicator under his fridge. The communicator was round sleek and black design. Cain uses this device to make secure calls that cannot be traced. He can only communicate two way if the other person has the same device. Otherwise Cain can call others and send messages but others can't call him back.
Cain began to put on the robes and a mask that were in the metal case. The mask was black and gray. It was a sleek semi shiny imitation version of Revans mask. Cain place the mask on his face which fit like a glove. Then Cain pressed some buttons on the communicator and after closing the blinds to the apartment and placing the communicator on a sleek black platform with tiny lights on the side that were red. Then Cain waited and waited, one by one the red lights turned green.
Then Cain pressed a button and then the sleek black terminal activated. Multiple blue holo figure's appeared. They all wore masks with different designs and then Cain spoke.
"This is Noctis Security code 11122019. Do you read me."
"I read you Noctis this is Owl security code 06021980." Said a female voice who wore a blue owl mask that had golden eyes.
"Good, now the rest of you sign in and we will begin this meeting."
"This is Geisha security code 06191999." Said a female voice in a Geisha mask with a golden leaf crown.
"This is Princess security code 02122010." Said another female voice wearing a all white mask that had painted crack going through the middle of it. The crack was black but dripped gold blood as a design.
"This is Artist security code 06162002" Said a male voice with a round mask composed of multiple colors splashed on each other that continued to shift like it was alive into different colors.
"This is Gaia security code 06231983." Said a female voice that wore a mask that looked like green moss in the shape of a beautiful woman."
"This is... Frost security code... 01302009." A female voice said hesitantly. She wore a yellow round mask with blue eyes.
Then Princess spoke. "Aren't we missing one ? Where is Emerald?"
"Be at peace Princess, Emerald is in the middle of a assignment for me. He will be briefed on the details of this meeting at a later time. But I am sure you all wondered why I gathered you here."
Then Gaia spoke. "You said this has to do with this Confederacy of Independent Systems the outer rim formed. I take it you want to warn us of a ploy that might occur?"
Cain nodded. "Yes Gaia that is correct. What I am about to tell you is something not even the Jedi know and they will not know for the proceedable future. The CIS is being led by the former Jedi master Count Dooku. But he is nothing more then a pawn for the Sith."
Princess was the first to talk. "Your assistant told me this some time ago. Are you saying you will now tell us all who is this Sith and what position they hold in the republic Senate?"
"Yes Princess that is why we are here. Be aware we are not to make any direct moves against the Sith. We are to move discreetly until we are ready to fully announce ourselves. Is that understood"
"Yes," everyone said in unison.
The Sith lord true Identity is Sheev Palpatine and his Sith name is Darth Sidious." Cain then explained what Palpatine's plan was while leaving out the far future plans. Becoming senator. The clone army. The destruction of the Jedi Order. The birth of the Empire, and his immortality."
"That's impossible," Geisha said. "How did the Jedi not know this, there would have been signs?"
Cain spoke in response his voice clear and precise. "The Sith for thousands of years have been hiding in the shadows of the galaxy. They been building their power and influence waiting for the chance to exact their revenge. Palpatine is one of the finest Sith his order has produced who will bring their plan to fruition."
Then Frost spoke. "Why not tell the Jedi then. Surely they can arrest him and then we will be done with this Sith business and clean up the republic of it's corruption."
"I wish it was that easy Frost." Cain said. "Palpatine has a lot of political influence and power that can protect him from being arrested. Plus he is very powerful in the Force, enough to give the Grandmaster of the Jedi order a run for his money if not completely beat him. I'm not saying he can beat the whole Jedi council at once. But with his powers and influence he possibly could."
"So your saying their is nothing we can do?"
"Of course not. We build our power between the inner and outer rim. Make a new government and Jedi order. By doing this we cut his influence if we get the CIS to drop Dooku and follow us."
"But what about Dooku and the other Sith? Surely you don't expect us to ignore them?" Asked Princess.
"No leave that to the new Jedi order. They will take care of it but it won't be clean. The Sith are like a infection if you don't take care of it properly it will come back stronger then ever. But for right now I want you all to prepare. In one week you all will meet the CIS on a planet of my choosing to begin negotiations for a new Alliance. The new Jedi order's grandmasters will be there. Each group will work together to create a new government."
"What about Dooku and Palpatine?" Gaia asked.
"Palpatine wont move but Dooku will. Let me worry about him."
