Coruscant:

Cad Bane was currently hiding out in an apartment on Coruscant. As a well known, Vicious bounty hunter, he was in the middle of speaking with a client of his. Someone who had a certain viciousness towards the Republic...and had become the new leader of the CIS...

Mordain: Excuse the interruption. As I was saying, Bane, I have need of your excellent services

Bane: I'm listening old friend

Mordain: I require information and an apprentice. One who can carry on mine and the Late, Count Dooku's legacy. Thus, I need a Jedi holo-cron, and a Sith holo-cron.

Bane: Apologies old friend, but to get a Jedi holo-cron, I'd need to break IN to the Jedi temple. It's impossible, not to mention, deadly. As for the Sith holo-cron, there are only a certain few left in the galaxy, and the last place to look is on Coruscant, let alone the Jedi temple.

Mordain: Under normal circumstances, you would be right my old friend. But in this instance, you are wrong. Long ago, there was a Sith holo-cron that told the secret to Sith Alchemy. This holo-cron was eventually lost and the knowledge of Sith alchemy eventually died out with the death of Darth Plagueis unfortunately. The Jedi at that battle, decided that the Sith Holo-cron would be stored in the Jedi temple with all the other holo-crons, which were under maximum security so that the Sith could no longer learn the secrets of Sith Alchemy. As for the Jedi Holo-cron, that is needed to read the data on a Kyber crystal that has a list of all force sensitive younglings in the galaxy, the future Jedi knights, thus, you can see the need for them both to gain an apprentice. The Kyber crystal which has the information, and the Holo-cron to read the information.

Bane: And where am I supposed to get this Kyber crystal that has the information you need?

Mordain: A Rodian Jedi by the name of Bolla Ropal is the keeper of this Kyber crystal. First, get the Holo-crons, then go after him. And I for one, don't doubt your capability to complete this job, your reputation is one of legend, you know that my friend.

Bane: That I do old friend. Alright, if I am to do this, I have conditions. I want a rogue-class star fighter, with elite weapons, cloaking device, the works. Aaaaand triple my usual rate

Mordain: I expected nothing less. The price and ship is of no concern. I will also provide you with the means to get inside the temple, since I was there before, I still know the mapping of the temple.

Bane: Well then old friend, it seems we're back in business together. You have a deal...

Mordain grinned through his hologram as Bane disappeared. Ah, this was too easy. He was using Sidious' plans against him. Old fool shouldn't have trusted him with so much of his sensitive information. But now, it was time to wait, and unfortunately, waiting was never his strong point. Thankfully, he had already gone before both the CIS and Serenno, and thanks to his charismatic charm and speech skills, the CIS accepted him as their new leader, and Serreno accepted him as their new Count.

The ways he had done this, was by using Dooku's last message, in which he had named him heir and successor, thus, there was no real room for debate, but still, they both supported him thanks to his speaking skills and his charm.

Looking over to where Xen was stood next to the window, he addressed the Super Tactical droid.

Mordain: Xen, get me Grievous. I would like to see him.
