Dooku was surprised to see a message to him, what was stranger was it's unknown source. Opening it, it was a message in a rather... formal way of writing.
"To the Count of the world of Serenno.
I am an individual who is wishing to see the Imperium's current path to change. With this current path, it will not good for humanity. With your financial support, we will be able to cause a chain of events to dethrone the Emperor and have it so the Imperial Nobility, which you can join through a strategic marriage, can become the leaders and halt the expansion of the boarders, along with Halting the war effort.
Be you willing, Telos 4 is where we shall meet, it will become clear who we are once we meet, and we can cement the plan, to change the imperium for the better
From
A potential Acquaintance"
The possibility of someone who could change the course of the Imperium? Were there those who disagreed with the actions of Skywalker. This...could be advantageous to the CIS, either he has some power and could use the force to persuade those to aid him, or he could start an imperial Civil War, which would divert their forces at each other and away from them.
He would go to Telos 4 in his Solar Sailer, and was surprised to discover that there was an squadron of Imperial Vessels. Dooku was worried, but, they weren't moving, what was going on? As his ship moved into the atmosphere of the planet, he found his way to the city, and found that they were acting as if everything was normal.
As his ship landed, and he stepped out. To his surprise, a woman stepped forward, she was dressed....lightly to say the least. A loincloth and bandages around her chest. She had some scars across her body.
"Are you the Count named Dooku?" She asked, her accent strange.
"I am, and who are you?" Dooku asked, keeping his lightsaber hidden.
"You will follow me, my master is wanting to speak with you." she said, walking away.
Dooku, stood there, but as he noticed the person didn't stop to make sure he followed, he chose it would be better to follow her. As she lead him through the city, Dooku would see the government building under guard of Imperial forces, they looked....different however, they wore all black armor, and stood motionless.
Moving inside the building, a lift opened and Dooku stepped inside with the woman, before they went up the lift and stopped a large office with a window overlooking the city. Inside of the room was a desk a man with a robed figure next to him, and as Dooku stepped out he then noticed, the two astartes, black armor with a silver shoulder guard to one side, and one with an emblem on the other.
"Count. Sit." the figure said.
Dooku walked across the room and sat across from the man at the chair.
"I am at a disadvantage, not knowing the name of my host, as you know mine." Dooku said, looking at the figure, who had so much authority.
"I am Inquisitor Valcor. Let it be made clear, I am not....approving of your use of Abominable Intelligences, or your alliance with Xenos, in my opinion I would rather see them all enslaved and destroyed. But, I am willing to aid in the dethroning of this False Emperor on the Throne of this distant Galaxy." The Inquisitor explained.
"And what makes you think that the people will follow you?" Dooku asked, curious how he had so much influence.
"It is simple. I am the highest Ranking Member of the God Emperor's most Holy order, I am of the Inquisition, the only people who have more true athority than I would be the God Emperor himself, not this pretender." Valcor explained.
"And you wish to have Skywalker and his forces, removed?" Dooku asked.
"It is to save the will of the Imperium, the purity of the Emperor's words, and to strike down the true foe, the countless psychers who are being influenced by the powers of Chaos." Valcor said.
"And what are Psychers?" Dooku asked.
"It is those who have the power to call upon the warp. I have been rather fortunate to find some already, and I am ensuring their own, proper training." Valcor explained.
"I am aware of such an order. One is located on the world of Dathomir, a coven of women who could prove to be quite valuable. Though, there is also one on the Capital of the Republic, a temple full of young untrained psyckers, being tricked to follow false teachers." Dooku said.
The Inquisitor smiled a bit, he raised his hand, and motioned for his hooded and cloaked figure to remove their hood.
"I am aware of such an order. I have learned to break them, I simply just need to find the cracks." Valcor said, as Sholan removed her hood, showing the brand on her forehead of the Inquisition.
Dooku held back his reaction, through, it was still frightening to see such.....cruelty.
"As for my intentions to have you enter the Imperial High Born society, I have some information of an Imperial Noble, She is of the upper nobility, Lady Tremeir, unmarried, and one of the few Nobles who has been accepted into the good graces of the Republic, as a governor of a recently claimed imperial world. She has no real loyalty to the Emperor in an official capacity, but it is important to know, she is a collector of, foreign made artifacts. From my understanding, she is going to open a Gallery on the world she now claims Tatooine, I believe it is called." the Inquisitor explained.
Dooku now understood the goals of this person. He was wanting control of the Imperium, he believed his authority in the first....or was it the distant imperium would translate here.
-meanwhile-
On the world of Belkadan, a ship crashed, and the crew left it, swarming out, they were planning to build up their strength, but first, they needed to make sure, the ones in charge, were the biggest, meanest, and the Greenest of them all.
