- "Hey! What are you doing here?"
- Aida and Creighton spun around to see a Togruta Path member, a male, standing some distance away. He was carrying what appeared to be a pretty heavy bundle, but its contents were obscured in cloth.
- Creighton's hand had already gone to grasp his lightsaber hidden under his cloak.
- "Do I know you? What's your name and assignment?" the Path member asked, taking a slight step backward. Like Creighton, he had put his hand inside his cloak. He could be holding some sort of com-link.
- Creighton could sense the paranoia emanating from the Togruta, his heart beating a mite too fast. He relaxed and pressed his own thoughts toward the man, enveloping him inside another consideration altogether. One that felt irresistibly true.
- "We are your brethren in the Path. We are on your side. And you will help us," Creighton said, calmly.
- Aida stayed silent and Creighton leaned on the man's consciousness until, rather easily, he accepted the new thoughts as his own. The man's demeanor morphed into one of patience and almost chemically induced relaxation.
- "Where is everyone?" Aida asked.
- "In the caves," the Path member said.
- "Why?" Creighton said.
- "I do not know?"
- "How do we get into the caves?" Aida asked
- "Over there." The man tipped his head just behind him toward the mound they had seen so many others disappear over. "There's an entry code. And a sentry droid."
- "Take us with you. We are working together, after all, Creighton said, and the man nodded.
- Creighton and Aida followed the Path member, who walked ahead unsteadily, as if slightly lost. They followed him toward several rolling hills, past an octagonal building and some other structures, including one that looked like a simple cottage.
