Star Wars : The New Sith Crisis

WHile everything is happening on Byss..........

Even with Sev'rannce Tann gone on a swift mission to Byssm the Imperial War Machine never slept. Deep in the Imperial Archives on Bastion, Grand Admiral Pellaeon sat, alone, reading through the next set of highly classified records. I wish We'd gotten Disra's access code, or that clundering courier hadn't lost Ghent's Kirkosh was out with a squadron hunting the courier who had dissappeared en route from Yaga Minor. The code had just sat there, lost in the aftermath of that first peace treaty, until someone had come accross it and sent it to Pellaeon. Except now the courier was missing. Well, if Kirkosh doesn't find him I can send Tann after him. She'll get him He thought as he read through yet another record of the 501st wiping out dissent. Palpatine had classified so many of these reports he was getting tired of reading them. Suddenly, he came across a file with a second encrypt on it. The encrypt intrigued him, it was so different from the rest. So mmuch more artistic. It was not only unintelligible, it was beautiful. It reminded him of his time under Thrawn. If that thrice-cursed sneak hadn't........ his thoughts trailed off into old anger and bitterness. If he was going to crack this encrypt he would need a clear mind. This was a project for himself and himself only. No slicer would be trusted with this.

Five hours, he worked feverishly on the encrypt. Calling up all his old training in slicing, he managed to get the first few words de-crypted. This is one tough nut to crack he thought. He worked for another five hours before an aide approached.
"Admiral Pellaeon, sir, you've been down here for hours. Are you hungry, sir?" The aide asked.
"No, I am working. Please do not disturb me from now on. I am very busy. Only tell me unless there is an emergency," Pellaeon answered. The aide departed and Pellaeon continued working on the file. It took two more hours, but he finally cracked it.

====================================================

Pellaeon gaped as he read the message. He knew Thrawn had come from the unknown regions, but the Imperial story had always been that he had been exiled. The mission success was not available, but that didn't mean it never finished. Knowing Thrawn, there was probably a strong Imperial presence in the unknown regions. Countless untapped resources out there, all Imperial. His mind was awed at the possibilities. He would have to get around to finding the these people. Carefully sealing the records chamber, Pellaeon left the building, bound for his shuttle. As soon as Tann and Kirkosh returned, there would be a major council of war.............
