THE SUPER STAR DESTROYER, ENDEAVOR.
Maas stormed onto the bridge of his Star Destroyer with a fire in his gut. He wasted no time bringing the video chip out of the helm of one of his Shadow Troopers so it could be analyzed by Veranda.
"Commander!" he shouted.
He didn't wait to spot her. He was too furious to bolster any patience. Maas headed straight for one of the computer terminals.
"Aye, sir?" Commander Veranda rushed to his side as he slid the video chip into one of the terminals ports.
"Bring up the recording of this chip onto my nav screen."
"Yes, Admiral."
Veranda did as she was ordered and began typing in commands on the terminals keyboard. It's data file showed up on screen and she sent it directly to Maas's personal holo terminal on the bridge. Maas opened the file, and a video feed of the Shadow Trooper's engagement with the young man on Nar Shadaa was in first person view. Veranda walked over to the Admiral and watched the feed with him. Her eyes widened as she saw him wield a lightsaber.
"Sir, is...is that what I think it is?" she asked.
"It would seem," Mass bit the inside of his cheek.
Veranda watched the video feed in astonishment. "A Jedi?" She was almost afraid to say the word. "No...it can't be. Who is he?"
Maas enlarged the images of the culprit's face and enhanced it along with the face of his former student, Neema Kin, and captured their faces.
"I want a bounty placed on these individuals," he said. " A hundred and fifty thousand credits each for their capture – alive."
"Aye, sir." Veranda looked down to her datapad and began transferring the images.
"Contact bounty hunters only within our Syndicate guilds. I don't want news of this traveling too far. I want this kept close."
"Aye, sir."
"And Commander..." Maas faced Veranda, and made sure she met his gaze.
"Yes, Admiral?" she asked.
He leaned in, "Keep this betwixt us. I don't want the Supreme Leader to know of this just yet."
Veranda hesitated. "Sir, I..."
Maas interjected, "Commander...please." Maas gently placed his hand on her arm and stared into her eyes.
"Yes...Admiral. Understood."
"Thank you," he said, and exited the bridge.
