Vader: so you say you’re qualified to find the person I’m looking for
Boba: *hands Vader his resume*
Vader: *glancing over it* “bounty hunting major at the Mandalore Ass-Kicking School”, “sickest armor design award”, “certified jedi hater”… and your recommendation letter is from a certain pirate named Honda Ohnaka, and all it says is “hire the kid, he’s pretty neat”
Fives, talking to Anakin and Rex: I was framed, because I know the truth about a plot, a massive deception (…) Organic chips build into our genetic code, to make us do whatever someone wants, even kill the Jedi! … [the Chancellor] is in on it, I don’t know to what extent, but I know he orchestrated much of this.
Plus, Shaak Ti had told all the council about this and even had the chips in her hand! The council had been investing this for a few days probably, and then they just forgot it! Because they believe the Chancellor when he said it was “a parasite”. The Jedi, who are supposed to be the wisest of all, couldn’t find out the truth even when they had in right in front of them.
And we have Kix, who only spoke with Fives for 1 minute and 18 seconds, the only words Fives told him about it were “All of us, even the Jedi are in great danger (…) the high levels are involved in the conspiracy”, and being a medic he probably noticed that Fives wasn’t acting like himself. And HE BELIEVED HIM, Kix kept investigating and discovered the chips, the orders, what would happen if triggered and that I all came from the Chancellor. But he “never had a chance to tell anyone else”
To sum up: Kix only needed a small hint to be able to uncover all the plot and who was behind it, ALL BY HIMSELF. While the Jedi, having a larger testimony AND the proof in their hands, never found out anything.
So, let me guess— you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…
You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.
I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.
((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))
