The Dark Academy on Korriban

Zyn received the message and opened her datapad

''The images are not optimal but I might have an idea...''

She cross referenced what Zeno told him with what ahe could glean from Zash's notes and her own intuition

Old star map: 3eA+1eP+3eD+1eS+1eB 2 successes, 1 threat


''I believe this might refer to...''

It’s a star map of worlds visited by an unknown Sith the name is not in the records but the journey seems significant, like it was a pilgrimage to places strong in the dark side. Ziost, Yavin, a world called Rakata Prime… Taris is on there. You have to cross reference the star map with modern maps but after accounting for galactic rotations and drift it works out.

"Hmm. That might be Lord Hazzan's map," he says quietly over the comms. "That would make sense since the droids were here at some point then were moved to his apprentice's resting place."

Baesal explains this over the comm

''Is the place secure? I would like to come and see''

"Give us a moment," Zeno says as he does a quick look around the room seeing if there are any doorways or droids that might come to life. He gives a hand signal for Moyr to do the same.

Nothing has tried to kill anyone yet and no active defenses.

Moyr nodded and tried to discern something about security systems this place may have had.

[Skullduggery, with Zeno's assistance? Sith Lore Bonus?]

OOC: Average difficulty with a Boost die.

Her familiarity with 'it's a trap!' attitude may have yielded some possible effects.

Skulduggery: 2 successes, 1 advantage for additional insight into the nature of the opposition

"Find anything?" Zeno asks as he starts back towards the center of the room.

This place may have had security but it was probably just the droids, she does not see any obvious or so obvious traps in fact this tomb was probably for someone either not very important or without much resources.

"No. It looks safe. Too safe. Like a tomb of someone unimportant."

She frowned.

"Unfortunate," he says shaking his head. He then switches his goggles over to infrared to see if there's anything interesting present in that spectrum.

In that spectrum he can see lines connecting the various worlds, maybe it was the path. It does not imply a starting point, though one could assume Korriban... maybe. It begins and ends at Korriban using that as a marker.

"Oh shit," he says to himself. "There we go."

"Spectrums. Check infrared," he directs to Moyr.

"Let me use your googles for a moment."

Zeno passes them over to Moyr. "Makes me wonder if anyone other than the creator saw the same?"

"Maybe not."

She said after a pause.

"The trick is simple but ingenious. Brilliant catch, Lord Deathwright."

She gave him back the googles.

"Baesal has to see this... Do you still have the holocron of Lord Hazzan's apprentice?"

"No. That is in Lord Zash's possession. She is not likely to part with it until she gets access to Lord Hazzan's tomb, and maybe not even after if it is needed to access it each time."

''You still there?'' the commlink buzzed

"Yes." Zeno replies over his comms. "We're waiting for you. Found something interesting."

''Did you now?'' she replied before hopping off the speeder and heading into the tomb.

They could hear he light steps coming in the narrow passage

''So, what is it?''

"Something pictures don't show with the map. A path visible in infrared," he replies.

''Infrared?'' she mused as she got her own scanner goggles over her eyes. Seeing the trajectory, she wrote it down with great care before shifting through her scanner's frequency to see if something else would appear.

''I wonder what makes it glow like that...anyone of you got a rope, a stool a ladder or something?''

"Nope," is the simple reply. "Shoulders is the best I can do."
