For a moment, he thought the figure was one of a blind human, before quickly recognizing him to be in fact a Miralukan. After all, he had seen only a hand full during his years in service, hence his initial thought. He would be escorted by what he would later describe as his padawan, a young togruta female. The former would respond to the kaleesh's assumption. [quote=Airus Vel Aath][color=LightSteelBlue][i]"Forgive for being blunt to our esteemed guest but, the best experts in the galaxy died in the temple twenty years ago. We are still learning but I like to think I'll match their knowledge soon."[/i][/color] [/quote] Fearing that he unintentionally offended the librarian, Dra'kal was quick to issue a respectful nod and explain himself. [b][color=f26522]"I was only repeating what they've claimed."[/color][/b] the Kaleesh replied in a softer, more humbler voice, [b][color=f26522]"I did not mean to be disrespectful."[/color][/b] He would pause for a minute before he looked back up to ask him his name, but the chief librarian, Airus Vel Aath had already beaten him. After their introduction, the blind librarian was quick to proceed in inspecting the holocron. The kaleesh made sure to leave him plenty of room to concentrate, while he listened to his comments. [quote=Airus Vel Aath][color=LightSteelBlue][i]"It's ancient... After the Second Sith War the design is more elegant than the Sith of that period... More likely from the period just after the Great Galactic War..."[/i][/color] [/quote] At the same time, Dra'kal made his own attempt to touch into the sith holocron's aura, trying to see if he could sense anything from within. He would find himself relatively unsuccessful to pierce the thick fog of darkness, let alone in hearing a voice that beckoned him to come as he heard in various legends. But, in his defense, he'd never actually attempted to open or listen into a sith holocron either, so even then he had little idea as to what he should be looking for. He was more situated for using the force in combat rather for situations like this. Solace would then ask her question. [quote=Solace][color=a187be][i]"You mean gaudy. It looks a bit like a Hutt paperweight to be honest, though I suppose the Sith weren't exactly known for their style were they?"[/i][/color][/quote] The kaleesh would make an attempt to answer her, [b][color=f26522]"From what I've seen and heard, such designs varied from sith to sith. Some were more elaborate and elegant then others, which is mostly in higher ranking sith lords or masters, for reasons only they could say. Or perhaps, it's unassuming, dull, nature is a measure to hide something more..."[/color][/b] It would be then when Airus claimed the possibility of a sith spirit residing within the holocron. The inquisitor's right eyebrow perked curiously as Solace tried to downplay the potentiality of it being a thing. She curiously mentioned what he assumed were three separate events that involved a sith spirit, however Dra'kal didn't bother to ask at this time. He watched closely as the diplomat reached her hand to touch the artifact, before a sudden prick from the holocron forced her to retract. Her reaction also caused him to stand up and assess the situation. [b][color=f26522]"Are you ok?"[/color][/b] he asked Solace, before looking back at the now pulsating holocron. The artifact would shoot a crimson beam from its top as it illuminated the ceiling, while a strong aura of dark side energy flowed through the entire room. The Kaleesh took another few steps back as his left hand was planted on his lightsaber, ready to draw it if need be. Solace asked both Dra'kal and Airus as if it was supposed to be doing what it was doing, but the Kaleesh said nothing. He simply shook his head, for he too had never seen something like this happen before. Then a feminine voice emanated from the artifact, determining Solace's bloodline before giving out a solid statement: [quote=Sith Holocron][i]"Legacy recognized, releasing authority to the Arkanian Verra Alleron."[/i][/quote] A curse spat from the diplomat's voice. The kaleesh would then glare at Solace - or in this case Verra Alleron - with a notion of pure confusion, before cocking his head to the Librarian, and then back to the diplomat once more. [b][color=f26522]"Solace..."[/color][/b] Dra'kal slowly asked again, this time with a bit more force behind it, [b][color=f26522]"Would you... care to explain just what is the meaning of this?"[/color][/b] A disturbance of the force rippled through his soul, already feeling as if something ominous was going to happen. He truly had no idea what to expect next from all this...
