Aderon had been taking a walk just outside the 500 Republica building with one of the former senators in the building, when all of a sudden, the sky was filled with distinctive wail of TIE Fighters. The various wealthy residents of the Galactic City's heads were cast skyward as the sun was blacked out by a large, dagger shaped vessel in high orbit of the planet. Whatever remaining light was blacked out by the hundreds of ships entering atmosphere. Local security forces themselves seemed to be in awe of the demonstration of military power that was seen here. A demonstration that had not been repeated since the fall of the Galactic Republic. Some of the former senators began to slowly retreat back to their buildings, in order to burn any sort of incriminating evidence to connect them back to the New Republic, while many of the former Imperials stood in staunch salute to the arriving forces. The neutral parties, however, like Aderon, just stood in contemplation of where this occupation would take their world. Shortly thereafter, Aderon called the local security bureau, who offered protection to the nearby buildings if the force did attack, but they could do little else.
The First Order had finally arrived...
Summoning four Magnaguards from his shuttle, Aderon ordered the crewmen aboard his frigate to prepare it for immediate launch in the event of an attack, while also ordering his guards to keep ready to provide a diversion in the event of an assault. With all these preparations having been made, Aderon, leading a small cadre of the planet's elite, walked towards the senate building, intent to find out the meaning of this occupation.

As the glass turbolift continued its rapid ascent towards the office area, Aderon noticed the smile form on Ifrit’s lips out of the corner of his eye. Indeed, Aderon kee that Ifrit would, at the very least, somewhat appreciate the work that had been put into the surprise he had in store for him. It would be a great addition to the Dark Jedi Order’s power in this section of the galaxy, which could prove important, given the reports of increased First Order activity around the Core and Inner Rim.
Mentally, he hesitated briefly at the mention of Mariah’s praise of his achievements, though his command over the Force his this fact away very well, even from the senses of one as powerful as The Fallen. It was true that his interaction with Mariah had been, for the most part, a positive thing, as he was assigned the very task that resulted in his appointment as Cardinal. Indeed, a large part of his success was thanks to the relative amount of trust that had been put in him by the woman, and he would not soon forget it. Even so, though, impressment was certainly not what he expected, and as a result, it did cause some slight bit of hesitation. Even so, though, it was not as though this would be unaffected. A Midnight Cardinal, especially one like Dooku, could prove incredibly useful to one such as Mariah, especially considering her relative lack of the social skills that being an empress unfortunately required. Such decorum was the hallmark of one like Count Dooku, and as such, was rather useful. Even so, though, for her to specifically praise him out of earshot was quite interesting indeed, making a mental note of this fact, he answered the query placed before him.
“Is that so? I am flattered, in that case. Our last interaction proved to be quite productive, especially in isolating and.... taking a potential risk to the security of the Order off the playing field...”

Dooku, now standing in his suite, stood by the large, open veranda that dominated this particular large, circular chamber of his apartment, overlooking the city beneath him. Although Coruscant had fallen considerably since his last visit here, the 500 Republica building remained as civilized as ever, the small army of security staff used to protect the building doing a good job of keeping the gangsters that had taken over the rest of the planet away from the front doors. Sipping lightly on his glass of wine, the dimmed lamps that illuminated the circular space and, more specifically, the two slightly curved sofas in the room. Silently, both watching and thinking.
At length, he grew slightly tired of just standing in his flat, thinking to himself, so he decided he would take a walk through the building; perhaps go to one of the many atriums in the building to see if anyone was still awake. Perhaps he would find some interesting conversation among the residents of the tower; it wasn't unlikely that some would be out. Walking up the stairs and into the sitting room of the apartment, he briskly crossed the room's floor area, into the small lobby of the flat, before stepping into the glass elevator and punching in the skylobby this particular section of the skyscraper was serviced by. As the glass turbolift door sealed shut, he looked out onto the architecture of the galactic city. A peaceful view, if a little disingenuous. This sector of the planet seemed to be more or less at peace, thankfully. Nowhere near as great as it might have been even 20 years ago, but it had been a long time since then.
Stepping out onto the mostly deserted lobby floor, he walked across the marble floors, taking a brief moment to look at the architecture, before joining one of the late gatherings of people, still lingering in the lobby before heading up to their apartments.

Hmm, to what would draw the attention of such fury? After all, you’re not a Sith yet. Darksiders in general bear no quarrel with Blaze as she uses the Dark-side as well. Now upon finding out he allies himself with Sith and is seeking to become one...that may be enough to instigate a fight at some point during a conversation. Just needing a few more posts and details, maybe an encounter which I might have in mind to shift her attention to hunting Sith as with her vendetta against her old Sith masters done leaves her mostly just finished with the Sith. So she may have a great disgust with the Blackguard currently, she has no actual reason to fight them. But, a coming encounter I have planned may help set that in motion. Well I wouldn't want to spoil future events, but some interaction before certain events might be good.

Aderon considered for a few moments. It was very likely that her appraisal of the situation, if not completely true, did hold at least some truth to it. Younger recruits were much easier to sneak into fortresses like this, as one bad egg among a few dozen, or even hundred, would have a lesser likelihood of being subjected to scrutiny as, say, someone a recruit joining with some degree of talent. It was a fairly standard tactic as far as subversion went; but one that was no less effective no matter how much time went by. Indeed, as he reached out with the Force, he could certainly sense that something was afoot within the walls of the temple. Something that did not belong among the Force Users that continued to arrive even now. The entire temple was, to be fair, heavily saturated with the Dark Side of the Force. But this presence be felt was different. Normally, to him at least, the Force parted ways, allowing him to see into the motivations of all but the very strongest minds. Serving as a gateway to many things that may have remained unseen otherwise. But now... right now he felt something different. A section he could not see through.There was certainly a veil concealing this matter, shrouding it in the Force. He could even sense it in this passive state, standing in the throne room. By briefly concentrating, a hazy cloud was revealed around the presence of the new recruits. Breaking through such a veil would likely prove difficult even for Aderon.
However, difficult was not the same as impossible, and he was confident in his ability to unmask this bad seed. His abilities had developed far beyond what they had been during the foundation of the ill-fated Confederacy, and whoever the spy was was clearly not skilled enough to use Diminish to hide their presence entirely, instead focusing on hiding their identity over hiding their intentions. Thereby, it would likely not be as difficult for Dooku to unmask the traitor, and unmask the traitor he would. It would be a bad reflection on both himself and his House if he did not. While Dooku always had some degree of respect for his more skilled opponents, the unskilled novices were beneath notice, as far as he was concerned, and this was certainly an amateurish attempt at infiltration, if nothing else, and, as they were dealing with one who did not fully understand the subtleties the Dark aside afforded them, likely had the skills of an apprentice, or, at a push, of a low-level knight.
All of which made his life that much easier.
“I’m inclined to agree. Someone who attempted to infiltrate at a higher level would likely either be too obvious a target, or would prove far more elusive then our spy has been. And considering our spy has allowed themselves to be revealed this soon in their operations makes me inclined to believe the latter is the case. Whoever our spy is, they clearly have an... at best limited understanding of the power afforded to them, and more importantly, a lack of understanding on how to use that power for their own goals. That is something that leaves them... severely hampered in their efforts.”
Ultimately, despite their cooperation on this matter, the unseen, unheard duel of speaking continued, with Mariah now reining in her emotions, a stoic expression crossing her face. He turned away briefly from the presence of the mysterious infiltrator and back on Mariah, not wanting to let this conversation pass by without a final glimpse into, if nothing else, her general emotions. One could learn quite a bit from the way someone felt about a situation, and, as this was more or less their first impression, it would be prudent to establish some sort of standard for how behavior would be judged, especially if he planned to ascend in the ranks of the Dark Jedi Order, which, indeed, he did strive to do.
However, he did not attempt to feel her emotions as he would, say, during an interrogation. Rather then using some level of overwhelming force, attempting to annihilate the resistance that her mind had to offer, it was more of a passive, unseen hand, grasping at those small whiffs of emotion she let out into the Force. After all, short of cutting oneself off entirely, there was really no way to prevent these sort of passive emissions, and such passive emissions could prove useful.
Especially if the other person was unaware that you were looking for them.
“Very well, Empress. I accept your task.”

Trade federation ships tend to be very durable (see the Lucrehulk as an example of that, but I can always nerf if need be.

Captor-Class Heavy Munitions Cruiser (Modernization)Ship Class: Frigate Ship Role: Heavy Munitions Cruiser Ship Length: 400 meters Agility (A): 1 Defensive (D): 5 Offensive (O): 3 Speed (S): 3 Special Gear: 2 (Troop Space, Fighter Carrying) Extra Stats: Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Backup: 12 24 Turbolasers 12 Quad Laser Cannons Description: The Captor-class heavy munitions cruiser, also known as the Trade Federation heavy munitions cruiser, was a type of commercial freighter-warship used by the Trade Federation to transport bacta to buyers throughout the galaxy around 44 BBY. They shared similar designs with the LH-3010 capital freighter and Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 freighters also used by the Federation, and were at least several hundred meters long. Although built as dedicated warships for the corporation's Trade Defense arm, they were much smaller and less powerful than the Lucrehulk-class, which the Trade Federation later converted into battleships for their attack on Naboo and used during the Clone Wars. The heavy munitions cruiser had large hangars located at the center of its superstructure, where fighter squadrons could launch into battle in wartime. It was propelled by three large thrusters. Like many of the Trade Federation's ships, a heavy munitions cruiser depended heavily on automated systems. The ship could carry 48 fighters, as well as 200 troops.
