Rishi had proven ideal for what the young witch required. The planet was relatively new to the Confederacy, and as such there was not so much security as some of the more established or populated locations in the CIS’ sector of the galaxy, which would make what she needed to accomplish all the easier, she hoped. The only downside so far as she could figure was that the planet seemed to be in the throes of summer, which meant that she’d need to wrap herself in a cloak, despite the stifling heat and humidity.

Though, even with the discomfort brought on by the necessity of bundling up, Jenmae couldn’t help but feel pleased as she strode down the nearly deserted streets of the small town she’d chosen as her base of operations. She hadn’t bothered to learn the name of it, instead using the information she’d gathered on the holonet to determine which township would be both remote as well as nearly abandoned. From what she understood, the little town had been the home to a mine at one time, but when flooding inhibited their ability to work safely, the mine had closed - and with the business gone, and the credits dried up, many people left. Of course, this had been decades ago, and the only people who remained seemed to be those that were comfortable living the modest lives that came with the bust that had followed the boom.

There were a few small shops, most nestled along the southern edge of the town, closest to the river - which was the only mode of transport in or out of the little village that Jenmae had been able to suss out. Of course, they could use transport ships - but no one in the little town seemed to have the income required to enjoy the luxury that a ship like that could afford them, instead preferring to use what minute wealth they had to sustain their families and keep their homes in a state of moderate comfort. One such home also housed a small supplies shop - and that’s where the Dathomiri was headed now, an unimpressed looking wolf tagging along behind her.

[member="Seren"] had been tagging along with her for nearly a month at this point - like a scouring shadow that moved always a step or so behind the witch in all she chose to do. He'd actually been pivotal in her choice to come to Rishi. When she'd mused aloud about somewhere she could locate the quarry she was about to pursue, he'd quickly offered up Rishi as a possible location for their prey. She'd done a bit of research and had been pleasantly surprised with the outcome - it seemed the young wolf was full of useful little tidbits. As the two strode down the center of the street, Jenmae's eyes drifted upwards from the darkened pit that her hood provided her - squinting at the sky. It was nearly the time when the sun would dictate the move from morning to afternoon, and the heat would be all the worse. With a soft scoff, she lowered her gaze once more and hurried her pace, please as she heard the footfalls behind her speed up as well. They'd need to purchase what they'd come for a move out quickly if they had any hope of being clear of the jungle by nightfall.
 
Rishi. The planet made her so uncomfortable. It had been Madalena that had been kidnapped to the jungles of this place, a collar placed around her neck to sever her connection to the Force as she dealt with others on a fight for survival. It had turned into a mission and it had ended successfully – those in charge for the kidnaps were brutally executed, with nothing remaining of the citadel they had operated from. Madalena had even gone on a follow up mission with Cardinal to check on other strange happenings on the planet.

But Scherezade was not Madalena. Where Madalena's discomfort had been of the more personal nature, Scherezade knew there were deeper things at work. The Aeshma, a cult that had targeted the Confederacy several times, and had… Methods that were potentially deadly to her as well. Perhaps it was personal. Dream sequences, jacked memories, brain content download… None of it was comfortable. And Scherezade did not think the group was anywhere near done.

So here she was now, following an old lead. It was an old and desolate town, the sort of towns where everyone knew everyone because there were so few of them remaining. There was no doubt within the Sithling that not a single one of them would speak against anyone who could be part of the Aeshma. Potentially, they all were part of it. But she'd heard of some green skinned people taking refuge there, and if there was any information she could uncover, she would do so.

Standing outside of a shop, the Blood Hound had crossed her arms across her chest, and stared. She just needed to come up with a reason to go in and start asking questions that didn't totally set their alarms off.
