Deschain pitched his voice to sound hopeful for a moment and seemed as if he was going to take a step forward. It was likely the Jedi Master wouldn't be fooled at all, but Deschain made the attempt anyway. It was all part of the game. When Ka-Dek spoke, Deschain felt the powerful compulsion of the Force; had even used such tricks before, but he was made of far sterner stuff than the average man. No weak-minded simpleton was he. It sloughed off him like water from the back of a duck.

"I'll loosed then right up... directly after you pass the Trials and submit to join the Inquisitorious." His voice turned cold. "What nonsense were you speaking about Volusian plots? Speak quickly, Ka-Dek. I don't have all day. Your mind tricks do not work on me. You should know this."

"It is required that I offer the chance to join the Inquisitorious. Payment is not a matter of discussion, especially for a sentient in your position. I give my word that I will not harm any of the people you name."

"I have ever been one who has been gifted by the force with the power of prophesy, in my dreams I see the future on occasion.. or sometimes.. futures that yet may become.. In my dream I was in deep space, in an escape pod, it was dark and the power was fading.. when I approached the world, it was a shining beacon. It was a beacon of the light side. As you likely know, there is little love for the Empire here.

In my dream there were three figures, the King, the Red Queen and the Ship. These are cards in a divining ritual I learned on Umbara during my training in the force. But I digress, in the dream.. I saw that the Red Queen, who I sensed was a powerful orator would found an order of knighthood, a new order, one dedicated to the downfall of the Empire. The King.. I sensed was a petulant and weak willed man, tied to objects, pointless objects of great size, palaces, ships.. and so on. I saw the Red Queen see to it that the ship was stolen, and this would be blamed upon the Empire.. Once this "betrayal" happened the weak king would ally himself with the Queen to found this order.. It ended with six humans, dressed in a military uniform, The Red Queen, the King, the Admiral, the crone, the sage and two Jedi, Master and Apprentice."

He laughed bitterly.

"And I knew, here already were the foundations on Volus, the seed of liberty.. They stood in a room, a large room, in a palace, vaulted and gilded. Each took from his side a light saber and activated it. Crossing the blades in the center.

Perspective then switched, for a second to the six figures approaching a prostrated Emperor. Unfortunately an alarm went off in our ship and there was a meeting.. they wanted volunteers for a raid on Volus.. on an "empty" battleship.. and I knew what my part in the prophesy was.. to steal the ship and prompt the founding of the order.. A small part, but a significant one.. And I have failed.. hope is lost" Ka Dek looked away, not being prone to displays of emotion, but obviously darkly depressed at his failiure.

Deschain nodded to the man, who of course, could not see his smile. This gift of prophecy was something Deschain was aware of, though had no talent for. Six beings, according to the Jedi Master. It was a good thing the Purifiers were coming to Volus. It would be good to have some additional help.

Within the Volusian system, five Sentinel-class landing craft emerged, heading in formation to Volus and transmitting the codes necessary to gain landing. If they were queried about their cargo, they would simply retransmit their security code, one marking them as quite high in the chain of command.

((Note: Any attempt at using some dream to use OOC knowledge will be contested vehemently.))

With all said and done and the Purifiers quartered in the Volusian palace, Deschain had some time on his hands; time he intended to spend investigating some of the accusations made by the Jedi Master. Just because he was the enemy did not mean he was not telling the truth, after all. What better way to ensure that the Empire was thrown into disarray than playing it against its own?

He sought out the King of Volus one sunny day and made his requests:

"Mr. Motour, I would like to look over your naval pride and joy, if you will. Also, the good Captain has a few inquiries into spending and finances of Volus. I know you won't mind, of course."

Of course, such changes and recommendations would require a vast report from Line Captain Lyons, although nothing was yet to come out from him on his first assignment to Volus. With the political posturing and seemingly conflicting nature of the Volus military and government at this point, Corvus, with mercy, would not assign Lyons here for some time. Perhaps he was too hard on the Volusian King and in his assessment of Volus. For a moment, this thought lingered, and then perished. Lack of efficiency, let alone refusal to report to Imperial Intelligence on this pirate information, he was ready to take aim at the Volusian palace, open fire, and declare martial law. However, Moff Assange would not appreciate such a intervention. Instead, he would have to meet with this Admiral, although Intel placed his correct rank at General, and Motour. He was unaware whether or not Line Captain Lyons was still on Volus, nor was he aware of High Inquisitor Deschain's arrival. Regardless, after some time, his vessel transmitted it's message to Volus.

"This is the Star Destroyer Singularity, carrying Fleet Admiral Tacitus Corvus, assuming a holding pattern above Volus. We are requesting immediate clearance for flight to either the Avenger or planetside," said his communications officer, rather tersely. Corvus would not linger around the bridge for much longer, after taking in what seemed to be forces returning from a skirmish, he made his way to the turbolifts and down to the hangar. There, his staff and a squad of Stormtroopers led by their Commander, awaited at his personal Lambda Shuttle, the Azure Nova. He would board along with them, and await clearance for their flight, as did two TIE Fighters.
