Felix had been rumination on the dealing with the GA and the Ashlin Crusade for some time, their existence in the galaxy at large as well as their methods for dealing with the Dark Side of the Force he couldn't bring himself to commend. Though it was with a united front that they were able to disassemble the machinations of the Sith Empire, a feat that would normally be lauded. The methods they had to stoop to in order to complete their objectives were nothing short of repugnant.

Especially the Crusades.

Felix had been wearing his Knight Obsidian armour when they had turned that city to ash, in order to allow the force to decide on the fates of the civilians who had been among them. He had faced down a self proclaimed servant of the light, who, when he had seen who he was facing, fled the battlefield, proving that they themselves barely had any idea of the people they were fighting. Their warriors were faceless men and women populating the cogs of the engine of war, led from on high... or worse, were complacent in knowing the truth and reveling in the suffering and annihilation of the innocent and guilty alike.

It had taken some time on the holonet to research a group of people who loathed what they had turned into enough to deposit the recordings from his armour. He had visited buildings in his state of invisibility going door to door and rescuing anyone he could find... as well as making those he could reach pay for their crimes if they were too late. It was live action pure cassus belli in its purest form.

And so he found himself with the holodisk having infiltrated a mandalorian base. A woman by the name of Taozi was his target, there had been some mention of her in records, though they were little more than whispers even to the Solinaceae. As she would enter the office Felix would be standing in its corner, turning the holodisk in his hands as if unsure about its fate. He could have simply sent it, wired the information and it would have been fine. But information like this was a weapon from his own helmet cam combined with other found footage that he had acquired from holonet, uploaded by victims.

"Taozi..." He'd begin as she entered, likely regarding him with hostility... he wasn't meant to be here, though a grim look on the mans face contorted his eyes into the colour of burnished black steel. "I have something you might want, but I wanted to meet you in person before I gave it to you. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions..." His eyes would search her, unflinching short of her openly attacking, piercing her person beyond they physical as he would attempt to read her intent, to discern fact from fiction with her coming answers should they attempt to be hidden.

"How do you feel about those who deign to consider themselves servants of the Just, The Alliance, The Crusade and the Jedi in their current form?"

And so the Die was cast.

[Taozi Fuyuan]

For once, Taozi had time to work on organizing her office in the Tal stronghold. Between her time with Manu, staying on the Green Planet, and her field trip with the Eternal Empress, Taozi had seen quite a bit. Her connection to the Force had grown, and her heart felt lighter. Perhaps that was why, as she approached the door to her office, she could feel someone inside. Her hand hovered over the pink and silver Trayc'kad on her hip as she entered, and cold pink eyes met steely black.

The door closed behind her, and she narrowed her eyes as Felix Aquila began to speak. Her hand did not move from it's place above the hilt of her weapon, nor did she look away from the trespasser in her office, but what she did do was scoff at his question.

"You mean those hypocritical fools? I don't trust them further than I can throw them. The jetiise have proven unreliable and will turn blind eyes to crimes against the people that their allies commit. The Alliance was misguided in it's crusade against the former Sith Empire, for there are bigger threats in this galaxy than them. This... New Ashlan Crusade group is a bunch of fanatics who are more likely to hurt themselves than do any actual good in the galaxy."

A look of disgust washed over the Alor's features as she spoke. If this man had done any research into her, he'd know just how much she had hated the Sith Empire. It was a well known fact that the Alor of Clan Tal despised Sith more than anything, so to hear her say there were larger threats would come as a shock to most.

"If they do not bring true Mercy to the Galaxy, then they do not truly serve the Light."

"Good answer."

Felix would put plainly, before stepping forward and tossing the Holodisk on the desk making a move to walk past the woman, closing the distance with his stride, leaning close enough that she would be able to see the fissures of red which ran through his eyes like the cracks of a bracken desert. Felix had a hatred in his heart for these creatures which he couldn't seem to stem.

"Destroy them. . . and only them. Whats on that Disk could get you friends, there's also a donation of fifteen million credits in a secure file with details on how to access the account which have been scrubbed of anything that links back to me. But if you need my help." He would hold out a separate card, a physical thing made of plasteel with the insignia of House Aquila on it. It wasn't much, but it was well known across the Mara Corridor, it wouldn't take long to figure out the connection between himself and the organization. The equivalent of putting his money where his mouth was.

Unless he was stopped, he would move past Taozi and begin to make his way out of the facility, he had no issue with the Mandoa, but they were in his estimation too much of a blunt instrument. Thankfully in this case a blunt instrument was exactly what they needed. Sending an army of angry Mandalorians there way could be precisely what they needed.
