Alat answered Xid’s question by gesturing calmly. “It would appear he has returned.” Alat continued to stare at the wall before finally folding his hands the talons tapping calmly as he stared. “The Trandoshan.” He turned the frightening gaze back on them “Is a piece on the board. We need to identify the other pieces and the player. I believe that we can safely assume that Darth Nyiss is moving these pieces but it’s the game we need to determine” Alat eyed Tolun again. “We need to know who the other pieces are. That way when we have to make our own moves, we know which pieces to remove from the board.” 

Alat continued to carefully tap his index fingers together. “We have a reprieve while we are in Hyperspace. They know we can’t escape, it’s like a hunter preparing to enter the den of an animal. You pause to prepare your strategy before you enter. The animal has no idea what is going on and as a result you have an advantage.” He stopped tapping his fingers. “This is where the metaphor falls apart because we do know what is going on. We can lay the traps we need, we can prepare. Gather information and be ready when they enter the cave.” He swept his sightless gaze over the lot of them. “Find the pieces, determine how the board is laid. Then, when we have the opportunity we shall make our own moves in return.” 

Alat bowed his head and stared at his hands as he opened them to inspect them calmly. “Although I should wonder at the futility. Pity really. I did have a penchant for Coruscant.”
