Author's OOC Note: The following was transmitted from Zaracoda's Rodian slicer friend, Contrarian. It was an encrypted message sent from Nar Shaddaa to the Red Raptor during Episode I: Cult of Evil, shortly before the ship arrived near Korriban as depicted in the post, "Wardens of the Darkness".

>Zara I hope this digi-crumb finds you well -- lives depend on it
>You need to know that our safehouse -- remember the one behind Tonochi Road? -- has been compromised
>Not by the Hutts but by the Jedi
>One of them came here looking for you
>She's a Nautolan lady and blue like you too but not as pretty I think
>Beat us all up and stole copies of our files! (╬ Ò ‸ Ó)
>Millions of quads of data that could compromise years of our activism efforts
>The poor on Nar Shaddaa have it hard enough dealing with gangsters -- now Jedi??? ಠ▃ಠ
>She made us a deal and said that if we fail to get you to reply within 24hrs all that info will be released to the Hutts and we're all as good as dead
>She wants to know your current location (so do i)
>She claims to know some guys named Thane and Bomoor and wants to know if you're with them
>Sounds like a comedy duo amirite? haha
>Oh noes! You're not a magician's assistant now R-U??? (∩`-´)⊃━☆゚.*・。゚
>I mean you've got great legs and all for those outfits but I hear it's dangerous work--especially the throwing knives part! ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)
>I forgot to mention the Jedi is still here
>She has a lightsaber pointed at me ( '._.)
>Pretty blue colour
>Reminds me of you (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
>She wants to add something -- hold on

>Zaracoda, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you are not a lone wolf. You are not even a Wolph. Everything you knew throughout your childhood was a mask to cover and protect you from the truth of who you really are. I cannot say more, only that, for the moment, I am indeed a Jedi of the Reborn Order, but more importantly a woman who abides by her word of honour when it matters the most. I promise that I will not reveal your slicer friends to the Hutts, nor will I harm them in any way if you reply to me within twenty-four hours upon receipt of this transmission. I have sent this message to your HoloNet account, but no one knows to where it is being routed to. Please, I beg of you, give me your coordinates, or tell me which planet you are on, and I will come rescue you. Understand that the Order is not hunting you; this is a personal mission. You are important to me. You are important enough for me to betray my Jedi colleagues if necessary. I will do whatever it takes to shield you and guide you as the Force allows. If you are with the two men your Rodian friend just mentioned, relay to them that I am not their enemy, and that I wish to parley with them in person. Remember, Zaracoda, reply in twenty-four hours, or I cannot guarantee the safety of your Nar Shaddaa friends. Be warned that if you lie to me about your location, or I sense someone else is replying to this, I will spare the Hutts the trouble and personally dispatch these renegade slicers without hesitation.
