Ziost - Crown of the Sith Empire

"...And then what did I do with my lekku?" Moyr couldn't hold tears of amusement. "I mean, I guess I could do that."

She looked at her analyst for a moment as Razzya was parsing through strings of code, but then shook her head to herself. "What have you got?"

"I think there's something..." The half-Chiss turned toward the Sith, big eyes looking up.

MM3. Decoding. Computers. Codebreaker. Moyr Helping.: 1eP+4eA+1eB+2eD 4 successes

She discovers a sound file that reads: Take to the streets, take your Empire back. The Dark Council is poisoning the Emperor!

"I find it hard to believe. But it leads me to thinking that the one behind all of this is one who doesn't want genuine revolt, but plays the game of council seats by another means. May be one of declared or undeclared aspirants, or even an insider disgruntled with his power being checked by other Darths. Would you come up with a way to circumscribe an area from which these blurts originate?" Moyr asked Razzya, hovering over her shoulder while looking at the screen. She had no big experience in parsing through this much data but she had some good idea of how covering traces works in general. "And it's a sound file. Can the voice be traced back to owner?"

OOC: Which are you doing tracking down the origins or the voice stuff? probably only time for one of them this time slot, either is a Computers or Skulduggery at Hard with two setback due to encryption.

Recognising that both things cannot be done at once, Moyr focused on the voice. She sat at the console and began hacking in herself.

MM3. Decryption the Who. Codebreaker. Skulduggery. Razzya Assists.: 2eP+1eA+1eB+2eD+1eS 3 successes, 2 advantage


[Codebreaker to lower difficulty and take off one Setback. Advantages for certifying authenticity in case identification is a deep fake.]

It was able to decrypt the voice file and then applying it to the database got a match.



Unda Nuwazi - imperial Citizen - Outer Regions - Wealthy - Nobility

"I might have seen her in one of the court sessions. I want a profile on her. And we can focus on the where of the signal after some snack."

OOC. Can spill into the next timeslot. I will try to get the where. I would also like to apply some of Razzya's braininess to get a more detailed profile of Ms. Nuwazi, including her connections.

She is well connected her father is Moff, and aligned with Darth Malgus and her family runs a sector that provides a great deal of food and agriculture for the Empire core worlds. She is in good standing, best education and all that nothing that would imply a dissident mindset.

"The darkest under the lamppost, well." Moyr remarked, then moved to get something to eat. Upon return, she decided to check whether the original transmission could be traced back to the source.

[LM]

LM3. Decryption the Where. Codebreaker. Skulduggery. Razzya Assists.: 2eP+1eA+1eB+2eD+1eS 4 successes, 1 threat

It came from Ziost, likely New Adasta but the where cannot be determined.

"Ok, Watcher-11, send this much to Col. Moraal. Even if she knows it she'll know that I know as well."

She does as directed.

Moyr gave her time to do this, enjoying her kaf, then moved on to the next issue, producing the broken peace of equipment the Massassi had found and smashed.

"Now, what do you think of this?"

"Broken communications jammer," she said.

"Ok, let's talk to the Massassi to get a fuller story. They seem to be very cogent after gene editing."
