Sentinel-class shuttle, Defiant - Lounge
Atlantis had smiled when Crystal and Lily had taken along the two besties into the galley for some cooking, perhaps the CFO and the AG would fill them in, or perhaps they would talk about whatever, in any case, Atlantis wasn't worried and was certain that they'd just talk and have a nice moment. Plus he could hear some laughter coming from there, which was why he was just appeased. He figured that Saoirse would also know why the people here, at least from Umgul, the women in particular were often the ones that kept him sane too. Truthfully, he often thought of the three women as the heart of it all.
That might have been up for debate... Maybe.
Figuring he would go bug Elika this time around, Atlantis stood up from where he was sitting and walked over to her, on the other seat next to hers since the feline was occupying the other, and Andros seemed to have been sticking around to his corner, he supposed.
"Hey, you." Atlantis told her with a smile and even looked at the feline who seemed to have a keen interest on what Elika was doing. Actually so did Atlantis, "Please tell me you are not working?" Atlantis asked with a smile, he also actually wanted to just check up on her considering the hyperdrive incident with the Prothoe, but not really want to rattle that situation again, he focused on her datapad seeing some sketches. "Anything to do with the Metropole, or just a side project of yours?"
Grinning he looked at the feline with a peaceful smile, even a grateful one for keeping the architect company from what he had seen, this feline was Lindsay's, or even Nash's with how it had been somewhat waiting on them and just staying by their sides earlier, plus Lana also knew the feline. "Hey there, I am Atlantis, and it's nice to meet you." Atlantis told the cat who definitely seemed intuitive about everything, not that it surprised him honestly, since every beings still had feelings. Plus he was told in the past that if a pet did not like someone, that was an indication that they weren't trustworthy at all.

It honestly wasn't foreign to him at all, the people from Honoghr that were here, he had already met them a while back, in this case though, Brion Hunter, and Andrea Strange were the ones he had not met yet until now at least, but he did know about them. After all Atlantis was also, even often interested in whatever his girlfriend would tell him, share with him. He knew that to Crystal, the Strange sisters, there were three of them, and their cousins were very important, not just to her but also Ljiljana, since they all grew up together.
And then there was also that other thing that Stefanie and Crystal were once lovers, and even engaged, but even seeing them together now, Atlantis wasn't jealous nor was he worried since he had no reasons to be. There were other stories he had heard, even gossips, of course, but he would definitely keep everything to himself. Glancing over to where the lawyers, but also Crystal and even Lana had gathered after Nash had come back from the cockpit before the jump into hyperspace, Atlantis nodded just actually seeing them in their element too, and he was certain that they would also want to catch up in any case.
"Individually, I know they are all great at what they do, but together, well..." Atlantis smiled knowingly, there was nothing more to add about that, though concerning the pilots, Atlantis did nod. "The Kiffars, at least the male, with certainty I can definitely tell you he is the pilot, and one of the best ones I know of, his name is Forcias and the other one with him, Horsea, I think she is more of a copilot really, the other pilot who is catching on some sleep. Umgul Defense Force pilot, that would be Lucine." He informed Brion, Atlantis figured that at least the lawyer would know that they were still in good hands, plus he seemed to be concerned about his coworker.
Everyone here, at least all of them one way or another were here for the Hapan siblings, Saoirse and Mahela, the both who weren't ever aware of anything to begin with, Atlantis just took them both with him for reasons that had nothing to do with the Chume'doro.
Hearing Saoirse after she handed the datapad back to the lawyer, Atlantis laughed in amusement looking at Brion. "Well, there are some of the models," Atlantis playfully said as he nudged Saoirse towards where the lawyers seemed to be gathered. "If Lily heard you, you best believe that she will be laughing." Though he wouldn't be surprised also if Brion laughed honestly, for he did know his Senior partner and time and time again, he was told that Kassidy and Ljiljana could be twins separated at birth...

Just going with the assumptions that the couples were just going to be sharing a cabins, and friends would be together too, as for the rest, Atlantis knew they'd figure it out, as currently they had been ordered below to just board and get settled in. Atlantis had chuckled earlier to Saoirse since technically while of course he could have explained more details back at the Academy, he truly felt that it wasn't his place so to speak since he was not directly involved. He was here for support, and he also was just here to be there when he was needed, and with him bringing Saoirse and Mahela, he would have to explain later.
He already knew that the Kiffars present on this ship were aware of why, or at least got an idea, since they had been at the Academy too, as for the rest, he figured that when he got some alone time with Crystal, he'd let her know...
Not necessarily strapped in as honestly he was quite confident about the piloting skills of the people right now, Atlantis was just sitting contemplating and just watching his surroundings. One thing was for sure at least, currently he was sitting relatively close to Saoirse and Mahela, and he was glad that Elika was surrounded by people who loved her too.
Although, when Brion walked in their direction, Atlantis looked up at the man with a grateful smile and just picked whichever was available and thanked him. "Pleasure, Brion, I am Atlantis." Though he was certain that the lawyer was already aware of who he was definitely and even his name, since his lawfirm had already been in Umgul a while back, though he was not part of the people that came in. "You're Counselor Payne's Junior partner, right?" More of a rhetorical question, as he figured that at least from the talks he had heard from his girlfriend, that Stefanie and her sister were heading the defense side, Lindsay and Nash were on the family side of things, and Kassidy and also a guy were handling corporate. "Thanks for the water." He turned to look at the lawyers in general who seemed to have congregated together.
"Seems like a powerhouse here." He knew that the lawyers were all good, but together they always managed to do things, and he turned to look at Saoirse and Mahela, knowing that bonds between great friends were strong, he was certain that the two friends he had asked to accompany him would notice that, andd with the info Crystal had provided previously to Saoirse, he also figured that she would catch on quickly but like Mahela.

Umgul City Spaceport
The closer he got to the spaceport, the more he had started to sense that it was going to be a big party heading to Hapes...
And factually?
Atlantis chuckled under his breath, he could not help it, but any other situation, maybe he would have laughed wholeheartedly but it wasn't the time at all considering why they were making the trip to Hapes.
Finally parking the airspeeder in a designated spot, Atlantis opened the doors for the women and waited for them to step out before grabbing their bags to head towards where people seemed to have congregated.
Recognizing some of the lawyers, he inclined his head in their direction with a smile before noticing that one of the men seemed to be wearing an armor, that probably was Delaana's brother.
"Looks like we are waiting for the ladies." Atlantis said with an amused grin, not too bothersome to him, but he was glad that there were familiar faces indeed, and most certainly the ones from Honoghr where also going to Hapes for the same reason the people from Umgul were.
Figuring that the intro could come later, perhaps it was actually best to wait for the four women who were going to be here soon enough... Right?

Even if this wasn't a Jedi business, Atlantis never left without his lightsaber. Still he brought two of them, that he more often than not used. He had been waiting patiently by the airspeeder, and bummer, perhaps he should have said that potentially he could have gone and met them up at the University since that was where they had gone...
Ah well.
Just dressed casually, Atlantis one of his lightsabers on him which still hid his signature, although probably not necessary now, he supposed he'd put that in the box where his other hilt was.
"Great, glad to have you both." He did send a message to everyone that was now in that message, it went from Andros, Crystal, Lana, Lily, to Elika even Horsea it seemed since Andros had included her in there with Forcias, and Lucine that he was taking Saoirse with him and her friend too, so that the Zabrak could have a change of pace from what happened here today at the Academy.
That he would explain.
Gesturing to his airspeeder, and letting Mahela know to just leave hers here, it was no problem. Atlantis got into the driver's seat after the ladies stored their bags and went inside too, he piloted them towards the spaceport

Finishing his food, and probably what was going to be his dinner actually with things going on, and their impending departure to Hapes, Atlantis just looked at both Saoirse and Mahela with an amused grin. The whole convincing and just getting a friend to accept already, it was somewhat eerily familiar and he knew that he had made the right decision into roping Mahela in, at least.
Looking at the Togruta who started to thank him, Atlantis just shook his head to let her know that she did not need to thank him at all, although about what Saoirse had asked him, he wasn't sure at all, but he was pretty sure that it was going to be soon, at least.
"I'd just tell you to be ready already, could be in the next few hours to tomorrow, just waiting for our pick up coming in from Honoghr, actually." Atlantis informed her, and probably another can of worms and a series of question that would come thereafter, but he lifted his hand to let her know that he'd explain when he could, or at least it'll be explained to her later.
"Comfortable clothes, and casual ones also." Atlantis did have some dressy kind, but he did not even care about that, so it was just some shirt, pants and whatever necessities he needed in a duffle bag, which he would need to grab in his room here after putting some of his clothes and taking a shower.
Finishing his juice, and taking a deep breath, he finally stood up and inclined his head. "I'll send you a message when we have to go, and I'll meet you by then at the entrance."
Atlantis explained before gathering his plate and bowl along with his glass to take those to be washed, and he headed to his private quarters to actually pack but also write that report he had been wanting to for Niyol as he had mentioned to Nazani before just freshening up and getting some rest...
It was that evening, when apparently after a clearance check, Atlantis had been notified by his brother that Lana's brother had arrived and it was time to head out. And as expected, Atlantis sent a message to Saoirse that they'll be going to the spaceport now because they were leaving.

Chuckling, he truly wasn't surprised that a lot found Nickala adorable, and just plain cute, it was just easy to have a soft spot for the lil guy. About the AI situation though, Atlantis just chuckled and told Saoirse, "No one knew about the AI, well only five of us knew." Atlantis explained, and he knew she was smart and she could figure out who those potential people were. The four of them at the Academy, the ones that made the Councilors of the Academy, plus of course the Deputy Director of Intelligence who had helped out in setting it up a few years back... As for the other hidden part, well there was one, and that was also just a need to know, though the precise location at least only the Councilors know. "The MO does have a vault that is only accessible to us as for the location it is not known to anyone."
Munching on some of his chips, Atlantis tilted his head from side to side, he knew he was probably going to need to have a serious popping in some of his joints, but that will have to be revisited at a later time, for now the important reason on why he was going to Hapes, and also he was glad that Saoirse was coming along, he definitely would have to explain, but that was also a matter that did not concern him entirely and thus he would share what he believed he could share at least for now.
"We are not going for Jedi business at all." Atlantis told her truthfully with a grin, at least that sorted that fact out, but still he knew that it would surprise her on why he was heading there, and it had nothing to do about him, or the Mist Order whatsoever, but everything to do with a close friend of his, the Architect, well now Master Architect. "Several of us are going there for our friend, to show our support because it concerns her girlfriend." Atlantis explained, "It's more of a government matter I should say, and thus my brother will also be there, along with Crystal, her brother's significant other, but also the architect who designed the Academy, it's all about Elika's significant other." Atlantis knew that Saoirse had never met Elika, or even Lily, who was the girlfriend of his own girlfriend's brother. "I am there to show my support, and I figured I would take you with me for a change of pace from here, so you can also meet some of them." If anyone wondered how he often managed to keep it together or just always managed to have some sort of clarity, truthfully it was also thanks to his external relationship that had nothing to do with being a Jedi. They kept him sane often times, plus it was a good way to pull away from duties.
Atlantis looked at Mahela with an apologetic expression though. "The other Councilors will be here, and of course you will always be welcomed here whether Saoirse is here or not." Atlantis reassured her although a part of him wondered also if she wanted to come which was why he perhaps surprisingly extended the invitation too. "Did you want to come too, by the way?"

Back in Saoirse's room, Atlantis had nodded knowingly when the topic of Ayla had been brought up. Perhaps one day he'd tell Saoirse that while he had known Mace longer than her cousin, it wasn't until they were all in Umgul that not only he had found out that Ayla was Mace's cousin, but also Ayla, just like Forcias and the Aestrea siblings were attuned to the Force, and all of them held the rank of Master Jedi. The Kiffars as a whole had been known to be tight lipped, but they were also helpful in every sense of the way. Atlantis knew that there were still a lot of things also that he probably would end up discovering about the Kiffars, but he also knew that it was all part of the mystery too, and Atlantis was not in a rush to figuring things out.
Also indeed a Wall of Light couldn't and shouldn't be performed lest it was absolutely necessary, and even so, that wasn't something Atlantis could even perform, or guide anyone to doing it. Thus it made him wonder after the fact that it was done, how much more firepower they had individually...
The moment they got to the dining hall and seeing some of the students there just talking with one another in lively ways, and even laughing and be in a cheerful mood, Atlantis smiled warmly before grabbing a channelfish sandwich and come carni chip along with some juice, and then made his way to where Mahela and Saoirse settled themselves.
Nick who had seen Saoirse walking in with Mahela too, got off his seat and rushed in their direction hugging them sideways both though lingering onto Saoirse. "You are fine! Thank the Force and Ashla!" He smiled widely before glancing at the Grandmaster with another wide smile. "Master, the AI the Academy has is so awesome!" Giggling and knowing that maybe he should let them rest further because of the battle that occurred, Nick bowed respectfully to them all but also Saoirse, "Thank you for saving everyone." Hugging Saoirse again but also Atlantis and Mahela, Nick scrambled back to his seat where Rikki, Tach, Cih were and were all smiles in their direction.
Atlantis was silently eating his food when Nickala had come to express his happiness, and he even smiled widely when the AI had been mentioned, Nick was right about that, and that probably opened another can of worms for a lot here at the Academy, and Saoirse probably had some questions about it, but before getting to that part, after he had taken a sip of his juice, Atlantis placed his glass down on the table and looked at the Zabrak. "I probably should inform you already that something came up last night, that will require me to leave the planet for a few days soon." Atlantis told her thoughtfully, and since in the aftermath, maybe Saoirse would want to distance herself from here for a bit, at least until the Academy had been fully repaired. "I was thinking, would you like to accompany me to Hapes?" It would be a chance for the Zabrak to get away from here, and perhaps have a different vibe altogether, one that he was very familiar with, since it concerned the architect's girlfriend, and because his girlfriend was close to the architect who was also close to the attorney general of the planet, several would be heading to Hapes to support Elika, and Delaana.

Still crouched, he was not surprised that Lyov told her the same thing that he did, although on the flip side, he also understood why she had that sense of guilt. A reason why despite her rhetorical statement, he let her know. "It should, yes, but at the same time, I do understand why you feel it's your fault. Dragnea was a powerful Dark Sider, to imbue his spirit into a mask, that also should tell us enough." He could only assume that when Dragnea's spirit took possession of her body, and mind also, Saoirse had also been made aware on who was Dragnea so to speak and what he did or how he managed to do what he did. In comparison, Saoirse was new to all of this, the Force and everything related to it, and so she had nothing to feel guilty of. No one here at the Academy would hold it against her, plus he was pretty sure that the AI present here sheltered immediately the students altogether before they all could see who truly had breached the Academy.
Smiling and nodding about the Wall of Light, Atlantis had heard some rumors before around the Kiffars that Ayla was actually the best at performing that, and he also knew why the Kiffar as a whole especially the higher ranking ones in their chain of command were close. "It was epic, and want to know a secret? It's the first time I ever saw it being performed." He told her sincerely, as from what Saoirse had experienced no doubt, it needed a lot of Jedi to pull that much of Light Side energy, it was also one of the most devastating offensive ability that could also cause someone, if doing it alone, some unexpected and catastrophic results, ergo why no one, not even Ayla by herself ever demonstrated that application at the Academy.
Standing up when Mahela joined them, Atlantis looked at the Togruta, smiling before looking at Saoirse who had filled her in on what a Wall of Light was. "That's about right, yes." Since that ability had been applied in her mind, and wasn't seen outside so to speak, he supposed that it might be different when a Wall of Light was redirected to a factual foe in front of any Jedi. But that was potentially another story for another time, right now he supposed that they should get some chow for Saoirse and Mahela, "Let's go get some food, as for the caf, it wasn't damaged entirely, just a part next to one of the windows." He reassured her, and therefore probably whatever table or chairs that had been damaged could just be pushed aside for the time being while the other side could still be used. "Shall we? I am sure that plenty also will want to check up on you too." Waiting for a moment to see if they were both ready or maybe wanted to change, not that they needed to, Atlantis led the way to the dining hall...

Walking into her room after Saoirse invited him in, Atlantis kept a placid expression on his face but he could tell that she felt guilty for what happened, although to him, and to everyone else, she had nothing to be apologetic for. The Zabrak wasn't in control of her body, and the spirit of the Fox mask was strong, a powerful Dark Sider to be able to live on and to possess whomever wore that mask, that was a feat by itself. But that wasn't about Dragnea, at least not currently, right now it was about Saoirse truly.
"Hey..." Atlantis told her softly as he tilted his head on the side, hopefully it would get her to look at him, but actually instead, he crouched so that he would be at her line of sight since she seemed to be focused on the rock she was holding. He looked up at her with a warm reassuring smile. "You did nothing, Saoirse. The one who possessed you, did." Atlantis told her with certainty, even though he knew that it might be hard for her to accept so to speak. "Dragnea is really gone, for good, the mask has been destroyed after you performed a pretty epic Wall of Light with the help of everyone at the Academy." A Wall of Light was no easy feat at all either, and he knew that Ayla had guided her and even melded everyone at the Academy to make that Force power stronger.
"Nadira, and Gida are both fine, they got knock out by the knock out gas, the defense measures of the Academy was activated the moment the Force detectors read that their alignment shifted when they used their biometrics to open the door." Atlantis explained, it wasn't something that he made aware before to the students since it had never been necessary at all as the Academy had never been under attack since its construction. "As for Franz, he is good, although the DUM droids aren't too happy with him, he grew some tree and vines under the stairwell." At least that was the truth, and despite seeing Franz with a bacta patch on his arm, that was nothing for his cousin, at least it was definitely nothing to what had just been revealed to Franz, but that was a situation that Atlantis kept for himself right now and did not let that recent situation betray his emotions or even his facial expression.
"As for you thanking me for saving you, don't mention it. I'll always be there for you, no matter what." He told her sincerely with a knowing smile. It was that promise so to speak he had made too when he was in her mind with both Ayla and Lyov when the older version of her, the potential could have been mentioned he did not have her back. Though he also knew that Saoirse would have to come to terms with all of that happened, and it might be difficult, "Is there anything that I can do for you right now, do you need anything?" Atlantis did care, and that was just him and hopefully in a way he could lessen her guilt gradually, but he knew that it could not be forced, and that time was needed to put her mind fully at ease from what happened today.

Showing up in front of Saoirse's room, Atlantis knew that Mahela was in there, but he had no idea if Saoirse was actually awake, or not, without thinking too much about it, or sensing factually, Atlantis knocked on the door and waited patiently for someone to open the door.
He stood there and waited patiently wondering how Saoirse was doing, but he figured he'd be there for her, and thus potentially he'd tell her to accompany him to get a change of pace from here at least. At least hopefully she would be keen in doing so...
Hopefully.
He knew at least by now that a few things was being put into motion by the women that worked for the Government in prep of their absence due to that trip... Atlantis should also probably warn everyone that he had invited Saoirse for reasons that no doubt a lot would understand, particularly his girlfriend, as he was very certain that she had felt the currents of the Force, or at least had an inkling to what went down...

When Franz and Cleite joined them again after their talk, Atlantis inclined his head to both of the detectives as a thanks for coming over. Placing his hand on his cousin's shoulder, Atlantis looked at Franz knowingly that said he was aware. "I'll let you two talk." Atlantis told both Mace and Franz since when it came to potentially doing anything or finding the killers, Mace had the best ability out of them all.
"I'll go check up on Saoirse first then I'll be sending the report to the Commissioner about what happened here and those three darksiders..." Walking over towards the student quarters, Atlantis took a deep breath and knew that potentially him leaving in the following days for Hapes was not ideal, but maybe...

Getting dressed after his shower, Atlantis was dressed in his black leather chest armor, black cargo pants and he placed both of his lightsaber hilts to his forearms causing his signature to just disappear. Finally walking out of his girlfriend's room with his long red duster in hand, he found the three friends in the kitchen which caused his to smile.
"Will be leaving the B69 here, for you to use, and it'll be here for however long you need it." Atlantis replied to Lily's question before putting on his coat. "I am fine with walking to the Academy." He explained before walking towards Crystal and kissing her lips and then her forehead. Just reach out if you need me Pulling his head back and smiling before looked at both Lily and Elika, particularly Elika. "I'll make the prep on my side, and despite my brother volunteering me last night, it's with reassurances that I am telling you that I'll be standing by you and Delaana." Atlantis told her sincerely.
"I'll see you tonight, most certainly, for now may the Force be with you." He looked at Crystal again with a knowing smile, he knew she was very capable plus with her knowledge in the Force, honestly, she could have been a Jedi Knight by now, and probably a Master too but that was not in the cards for Crystal, that much he knew, and it was one that he'd never enforce on her, ever.
Buttoning his coat, Atlantis walked out of the kitchen and even waved to Lana who seemed to be walking out of Elika's room, and then just walked towards the Academy, a walk that always actually make him think about things...

It definitely had been a while since Ayodele had disappeared, and perhaps it was also around the same time frame that they had that situation with Lyov and Helaine, but it did not stop Franz from searching definitely. Now the search was over, Atlantis was wondering what his cousin would do, but like Mace had said previously, he did have that option to finding out.
Again like Mace said he wouldn't be here for a few days, not that it would be impeding the investigation at all since the set of powers that was probably needed, Mace had it, and it had been too long for him to actually go up and check the scene on where the body was discovered. The mists would not show him anything at all.
"That's right, you'll be in perfect hands with her." He told Nazani, since indeed he would be gone for a few days, or however long. But either way, even if Mace did despise using her ability on a corpse, and he understood the reasoning behind it all, the images, the emotions of someone's death was often tough to stomach it for anyone, although he never saw Mace shying away from those type of situations in any case.
Atlantis looked at Nazani with a knowing expression and just inclined his head. The rest was now all up to Franz indeed.

Focused on what Elika had been telling him especially after Crystal called him a dork, which he smiled and winked at her, he finally lifted both of his hands and just gestured to them both as Elika concluded that he did have a point. About those house rules though, he definitely paid attention to what Elika was saying, and those rules actually did make him laugh. "No, no, no, it's fine, definitely do not need to go on." He waved his hand in one gesture looking at them smiling, it totally seemed like a house rules but also friends rules from the sound of it, which got him to look at Lana and nodding in agreement with her.
"Yep, and further than that, whatever one says there is that big chance that either your girlfriend, or my girlfriend will agree no matter what." Atlantis was truly glad that Elika was back after missing those three years, and further than that, it didn't seem that she was truly gone that long with how easily she also got back in it all. Further than that, he also could tell that she had changed, and it did suit her, especially when it became official with Lana. Hopefully their Hapes escapade too, and them showing up there would just show the support all of them had. Plus he had to admit, he loved seeing Elika this way, not that she wasn't with him previously but still there was something different about her too.
Grabbing his plate, and thanking Lana for passing that to him, he placed some eggs and bacon but also fruits and toast onto his plate and looked at Elika with a smile. "Nah, it's not hush hush, no worries, as you know the MO and UPD have an agreement, we give them the info about our dealings when it involves Dark Siders, like they give us info too about some cases, and considering that the Academy have some budding Investigators in the makings, we," And by we, Atlantis totally meant the Councilors of the MO as a whole, "Figured we'd offer our assistance to UPD, whether it's about petty thefts, or any other cases they deem appropriate for us to handle. And Aidan, Franz's padawan, was given that task, retrieval of a certain stolen mask, figure out where the perp is, or to whomever it was sold." Which again originally they thought nothing of it, it was just a mask one that Franz just handed the case to Aidan, although from last night's chatter, Atlantis already knew in what direction the Gupin would turn to.
It was innocent enough of course, but at the same time he figured that it might turn into something big, though again because they were all about choices and also reminding the students that they were all supported, as long as they remembered that actions did have consequences and so on, then it was all fine to him. Atlantis ate his breakkie and just listened to the interactions there silently, he did not need to say anything more, because well there was nothing left to say, further than that he figured that they would understand why he suggested what he suggested.
He did laugh though when that said footage came up, as he did see it last night when Crystal showed it to him. "I heard you were on the legal department's floor, and from what I have heard, that place is often where the rumors are also amplified." Atlantis smirked, remembering exactly certain rumors that had been shared to him about Lana here, also about Crystal. "Though I heard it could be a blast being a government employee." Chuckling before proceeding to eat more, and drinking his caf, Atlantis stood up and took his empty plate, and cup into the sink, while usually he'd do the dishes, or at least his own dishes here, he figured he would be told off, hence why he didn't do it and looked at Crystal, walking over to her and kissing her lips. "I should start getting ready, I'll see you in a bit and thank you for the breakfast ladies." Atlantis said sincerely, as he usually was one also who was the type to eat fast due to who he was. He knew that no longer shocked them anyways. Walking out of the kitchen to Crystal's room, Atlantis figured he'd shower and just get ready.

Front Entrance Hall
Atlantis understood Nazani's reasoning, and while he had never had any close encounter with any Anzat like Mace did in her past, he wasn't prejudiced in thinking that Ayodele might have harmed someone here planetside, to him, that just was not true, he couldn't see that coming from her. Though again he did not know her as much truthfully, so he wouldn't probably qualify in actually giving out a full impression about her character, plus she was 900 years old. Perhaps her past definitely came to haunt her again.
"Be as that may, indeed. Under Umgul's laws, whomever that or those bounty hunters were, they have broken the law, as I assumed that Ayodele had immigrated here to perhaps leave her past behind." Plus was Umgul even allowing that sports game so to speak? That would be definitely surprising if it was authorized. And perhaps those said bounty hunters knew how to avoid detection, and probably the reason why they had disposed of Ayodele's body in a remote place, but as a lot of things, it turned out that they were uncovered eventually.
Although he was truly at a loss for words too, for he just honestly did not have the full picture either, whatever Ayodele did in her past, there was a big chance that potentially she had come to Umgul for a fresh start, because why not?
Glancing at Mace with an arched eyebrow, and actually understood a fraction of a second later what she meant. Atlantis inclined his head understanding what she meant. Technically Ayodele's death wasn't in the MO's purview so to speak, especially with the way she was killed, but it did concern Franz, and thus they could also look into it, and get some answers. But it happened so long ago, that the culprits were probably also gone by now, and Umgul's reach around the galaxy wasn't that wide.
"Of course, it's all up to him, but also thank you." He told her, not that he knew he needed to say it, and probably she'd tell him that it was no bother honestly. He understood it all the same, this was about Franz, a friend, family, and yes they were known to bend some rules also. Plus with Mace's ability, it would settle the whole thing, most probably. "I cannot do what she can do, touching an object, or a dead body, to see the memory that surrounded it, it's a Kiffar thing." Atlantis explained, and even if Mace had no visible markings on her face, she was half Kiffar, that much everyone knew here.

Lakehouse
Blowing some air and seeing Elika's theatrical display of irritation, Atlantis put his hands up and looked at her with wide eyes before he scoffed playfully when she poked her tongue at him. "It is not silly. I refuse to hit back." Gesturing to Crystal, his girlfriend with an amused smile, and expression. "Why would I want punch her or kick her back, do not want to damage this gorgeous woman that is my woman." He might have sounded serious there, and probably maybe sounded vain, but none of it really, he knew that Crystal wouldn't care because that was the point, they were sparring, but at the same time, he just did not like injuring as a general rule people he cared about, moreso women. "Plus I have already agreed to a demo with Valaras in front of her and everyone else at the Academy."
"Fine, fine, fine." Atlantis moved over when Elika started to shoo him and he just quipped teasingly. "Feisty." Chuckling and just sitting down, since apparently he was a guest, which yes technically he was, for he did not officially lived here, but had often been here in the evenings anyways, Atlantis just relented, and he guessed that maybe he should definitely listen to the women in general since he was going to Hapes anyways.
He had greeted Lana, and of course he definitely got the whole gist about the recall from the Queen Mother, and that the Hapan was a Chume'-something, Hapan Royal Guard, and considering he wasn't too familiar with the customs, and all of that he wanted to ask some questions, but at the same time he did not want to sour the mood in general and let it be a reminder for everyone about the reason for that impending trip. "Wait, fifty-seven?" Atlantis asked with a dubious expression glancing at his girlfriend this time around. "What happened to the other fifty-six?" And there was a rule book? What rule book? "Well unfortunately Lana, you and I are both benched because apparently there is a Lakehouse rule book that is foreign to me..."
Grinning, and he knew that rule had just been made up on the fly, something that Lily would often do, but since the lawyer, the financial officer, and the architect were all besties, in the end, there was even no point in arguing against it. This was their house, and therefore their rules. Grabbing his cup of caf that this time he was just going to take sans creamer and sugar, Atlantis considered her question, with no expectations on what would happen today truly after getting in the Academy. "Academy, and probably check up on Franz's Padawan and see his progress about that investigation that his Master has given him, and I'll probably just go from there." Probably give some classes, or even whatever else that was needed, and. "Ah right, also catch the cousins, and my cousin too to update them me being absent from the planet for a few days..." Which wouldn't even be the first thing he'd inform them at all as it turned out.
"Probably best if you head there with Lucy, or whomever, not that I don't think that you cannot handle yourself." He told Lana raising both of his hands, after all she was a Major apparently and that entailed a rigorous training altogether. "But I do not see Andros being too trilled with you returning there with Elika without some others watching over you?" Atlantis knew his brother, that was a fact and just like Andros, he was very protective of the people they cared about, Elika even more honestly. Plus he was also very certain that Andros had ordered someone to look into that breach...

On duty at that moment when the Sentinel-class shuttle entered Umgul's airspace, Rocket was checking the scanner, and had already done a preliminary scan of the vessel, noticing that the armaments were deactivated, and thus no problem at all.
Though what followed next was that it originated from Honoghr, at least it was registered there (Honoghr and Umgul having a bilateral agreement and all) and it belonged to a certain Nash W. Leed.
Being hailed by the Defiant, Rocket activated the comm on his side, Standby Defiant, and please hold your position entering all of the data, Rocket worked quickly and efficiently and was given the flight path to follow for the spaceport in Umgul City. Defiant thank you for the wait please follow the flight path to your destination, and also please note that you will be subjected to custom check, you and your companions. Welcome to Umgul, Over.
