Eyes on the floor, Oola stands but remains silent. No swears, no cussing, no emotion at all. Dried tear stain down her face. She asks to the council.

"I'm kinda fuc.......... I am still feeling the effects of combat....... Might I request time to heal? Both body and mind."

Gaze looks over at Zoruku. "Wow, you have amazing hearing to pick up our whispered conversation. You should go into covert intelligence with reception like that."

Not waiting for a response from the mechanical Chiss, he turns at Oola's comments about her physical condition, as she addressed it to the Council at large. "I can see to her injuries if it pleases the Council."

Zoroku stares at Gaze for a while with his glowing red eyes, "He knows... Impossible. No, no simply a jest. Best not give too many hints of my training.' He would think and turn his gaze from Gaze.

Muu 's smile and wave were lost on Oola. She was deep in her mind going over the recent events. This was all madness and it could go **** itself. Wonder if this place had booze. No. It's a Jedi temple. And most if not all of the Masters weren't her former one, hiding a stash in a maintenance cupboard somewhere. She felt tired and weary. She wanted to feel angry and explode. But she didn't have the energy. There where people talking all round her but it seemed muffled and muted to her. She wasn't able to absorb the majority of the conversations. But she had picked up on a datapad being given to Kazzy. Something in the back of her head tried to poke through the numbness. A feeling. Curiosity. Maybe the only emotion she felt right now.

Gaze wanders over to Oola, taking out his handscanner and vibromender. He nods to her, the hood of his white robe left down to expose his close cropped, blonde hair. "If you are in pain, I can take a look at your injuries and see if I can help them a bit." He tilts his head to a nearby bench, offering her a chance to sit down.

With the meeting of the council adjourned, the padawans had a little time to regroup and collect their things before heading out for there mission. It had only been a day, but the time that the group had been separated felt a lot longer. It was nice to have everyone back together again.

When they were prepared the party of jedi would emerge out into the soothing morning sun that lit Corouscant. At the base of the temple steps were two large air speeders, both painted dull red. These must be the speeders they would be using to reach the admiralty building. They were surprisingly spacious, and had enough space for all of the party with a little room to spare.

The journey through the city traffic was long. Making your way through the traffic lanes of Coruscant can be difficulty and time consuming at the best of timers, and early in the morning like this is no different. Still it gives the padawans not flying the craft to do some research on the admirals that they were meeting today. Saul Karath, Zacrol Bric, Manrose Ovitom, Rachcar Stewth and Gregras Hindis. All decorated veterans of the Mandalorian wars, all seen as great heroes of the republic, all with access to the military access codes to Foerost. One of them is a traitor, but which?

Oola was still hurting and though the work Gaze did was high quality medical treatment, nothing beats a hard dose of bacta shoved in the right places. And she took full advantage of the treatment that the Republic had on offer nearby the Temple district. The speed ride was boring. Really boring. She did get a copy of that data pad. But the curiosity she felt for it before didn't live up to the actual thing. It was a dry retelling of military records and some personal information. Nothing about any sympathies to Revan or anything though. She put the pad down on and arm rest and decided to just stare out the window till she arrived at where ever it was they were supposed to meet these guys again. This was pointless. It wasn't the Republic that was corrupt. Well, not is this sense, there was corruption everywhere in the Republic. But it was the Jedi who should be answering to an investigation. She knew somewhere deep down the stuff Pyra had said must have been to help her. Somehow.

Zoroku studies the Datapad with help from Muu they scan the information of the military careers of each of the Admirals presented. " An interesting bunch we have here, The Warhawk, A general turned Admiral, A criminal, A rejected jedi and A socialite are our suspects." Zoroku explained as he looked to his comrades on the ride to the admiralty headquarters. " All served in the war but only the Warhawk was by Revan's side, but he does want to up the defense budget. The Criminal is said to have mended their ways and could likely be the suspect, however their crimes weren't treason." He turns to look at Muu, " Tell me what is your read on the other three."

Approaching the investigative research with an open mind, Muu carefully listened to Zoroku. " I've heard Admiral Saul Karath is very popular amongst his personnel. Moreover, it may be even worthy to note Karath's military tactics has been recorded as humoiditarian. He's demonstrated on the battle field a general holding of respect for the preservation of life. According to the recent holonet buzz, he's been pushing for further veterans of the war funding " he shares with enthusiasm. As Muu moves through the list, Admiral Zacrol Bric doesn't ring any bells. " Being unaware, I cannot comment on Admiral Bric. But, I have heard of Admiral Gregras Hindis. I believe she comes from a long lineage of Republic military heroes and known as a fantastic administrative military budgeter. Many attribute her fiscal management implementation practices to preventing the bankruptcy of the Republic during the war " he states. Unsure of what else to add, he simply allows others to share their input into the investigation.

Kai-wan listens with some consternation, at the remarks concerning Admiral Karath. "I remember Admiral Karath from the War, and I cannot process him being involved in this. I will check into his aides, see if there is anything suspect present amongst the Admiralty staff and advisors."

"Awwgggghhh aaahnruh huuguughghg uughguughhhghghghhhgh," Kataddik responds. "Uugggh uughghhhgh uughguughhhghghghhhgh aarrragghuuhw huuguughghg raaaaaahhgh.

Raithe carefully studied and analyzed the bios while the other padawans spoke amongst themselves. The more she read them, the more one particular suspect stood out among the rest.

"I don't know... I think that a disgruntled, force-sensitive Republican informant would be the most suspicious, wouldn't you all agree? Manrose Ovitom's requests of deep core exploration was rejected throughout the years and he was rejected by the Jedi due to his age. Plus, being an informant, smuggling information such as codes would be something more to his skill set," Raithe tells her fellow Jedi investigators, "However, I agree with the Wookiee. We should approach this case with open minds and not just assume solely from what we read about our suspects. We need theories to fit our facts, not facts to fit our theories. Let's hear what the admirals have to say."

Amused by Raithe's comment Ryff thought to himself, "Well, this is going to be interesting, hopefully we come to the right conclusion."

Ryff then speaks up saying, "Whoever it is... is everyone ready?"

After a while the two speeders are finally able to make it to their destination. The admiralty building is a large sandy coloured building with a great dome set on its top. Like most of the buildings on Coruscant it is staggeringly tall and imposing. As the airspeeders are brought to a halt near the front steps of the building, a middle aged man makes his way down the steps to meet them.

He is dressed in the dark blue uniform of a law enforcer for the planet, complete with badge and a blaster pistol holstered under his arm. His hair was an odd shade of black-blue, and his left eye had been replaced with a rather sophisticated prosthetic. He is flanked on either side enforcement droids, their emotionless faces watching the jedi as they arrive.

'You must be the investigators the jedi sent' the man would state as he scratches his chin. 'I'm officer Varn, I'll be helping you with the investigation. All the admirals are inside already so we can begin whenever you're ready. How do you want to go about this, and who do you want to start with?'

"Officer Varn. I am Inspector Kai-wan, designation K-1SO. Rather than immediately placing all of these veterans before a tribunal, I think we might split into smaller groups for the initial interviews ? See if we can't narrow our search a bit? Mistress Oola and myself will begin with Admiral Karath, if that is acceptable?"

The droid waits expectantly, interested in how the Officer wishes to proceed.

Raithe steps forward, "I will interrogate Manrose Ovitom. Anyone who wishes to join me may do so."

Ryff looks toward Raithe and says, "I'll help you, we made a good team last time."

Muu gives officer Varn a nod, " I am Padawan Muu Wusun. I look forward to collaborating with you and your men " he greets, standing beside Oola, Gaze, and Kai-wan. Looking around, " Considering the delicate topic at hand, what sort of security or resources might we have to work with? " Muu asks Varn directly.

"I will assist the both of you. However I would like to speak to each of the Admirals myself." Zoroku says coming up from behind the party. " I think my Military knowledge could bring insight to each conversation."

The officer would raise an eyebrow as Kai-wan makes his introduction. 'Inspector? I didn't know that they were giving out titles like that to service droids. Anyway, that was the plan for the start of the investigation. The admirals have agreed to meet you in their offices to answer any questions you may have. Admirals Karath and Ovitom will be happy enough to meet you jedi first'.

At Muu's question the officer would consider the question for a moment. 'Security? Well the Corouscant guard provide security for the building, and there's always members of the army coming or going. I figured jedi could look after themselves if it came down to that mind. As for resources, the senate had given you and the police access to relevant computer files and so forth. Of course access is limited, you don't have access to current military operations that aren't directly linked to the attack on Foerost. Other than that, my department is at your disposal for any work you need done'. This last comment is said with a little distaste in the mans voice.

'When you're ready' he would say as the jedi finish their plans. Leading them up the steps to the huge building. The lobby is a large stone affair, and is bustling with all manner of administrators, naval officers and civilians. The jedi are lead forward through the thronging crowd and straight into a large tubro lift at the end of the room.

After a few minutes quiet ride upwards the doors open to reveal a carpeted corridor, the noise of the entrance completely lost up here. As they step out onto the blue carpet they can see that the walls are lined with a number of doors, presumably offices, some which will belong to the admirals. 'Admiral Karath is at the end on the left. Admiral Ovitom is in there' he say waving towards a door near by on the right.

"The title of Inspector is earned. Not given." Well.. technically it may have been programmed, in my case.. or simply adopted..?

"Thank you, Officer. I appreciate the Republic making its service personnel available to us, should we require further assistance."

Kai-wan heads down the corridor, turning toward the office on the left. "Shall we, Mistress?"

"This is a waste of time......" Oola mutters under her breath and follows K1.

The door to the office of Admiral Karath's room slides open with a faint hiss. It reveals a long room with a glass table at the end. The wall were matte grey with a few holo projections of what looked like republic officers and ships. Other than a few chairs the room was empty of decoration. Sat behind the table was a tall imposing figured, clothed int he dress uniform of the admiralty. His chest is covered with a variety of medals and ribbons, and beneath his hat close cut grey hair is visible. This must be admiral Saul Karath, one of the heroes of the mandalorian wars.

As the jedi approach he has a number of datapads spread out over the desk, and he seems to be reading them in detail. When he sees the jedi he glances up and offers them a charming smile as he shuts the datapads off. 'Ah, you must be the investigators' he would say as gets to his feet, straightening out his tunic before offering a hand to the pair of them. 'I only wish we were meeting under better circumstances. Still, I hope that I can be of help to resolve this mess as quickly as possible'. With that he sits down, looking up at the pair as he gestures for them to also take a seat. 'So, shall we begin?'

As the other three padawans open the door to Admiral Ovitoms room, they are met by a very different view. The room is the same size, but it looks significantly smaller thanks to the sheer amount of clutter that fills it. The room looks less like an office and more like a storage locker. Several cheap looking tables are piled high with datapads, holo projectors and all manner of odds and ends. The walls are even pasted with what looks like ancient maps and star charts drawn on hides. There are ancient weapons and bits of armour lining another wall, and the jedi spot a number of relics and stone carvings that would be better suited in a museum. The equally cluttered table at the end of the room however has no one behind it, in fact the room seems to be deserted, no admiral to be seen on first glance.

"Hello is anyone here?" Ryff would ask.

Zoroku looks around the room interested with everything that was on display, waiting for the Admiral to appear. ' Interesting collection, if anything this tells me he likes to gather information, more likely he has troubles letting go of things he finds interesting.' He thinks to himself as he explores.
