Magisto nodded, he was glad that the mage had a more keen eye that most and had caught multitudes of reasons that the ship could be doing out there. "I am of the opinion that this ship has something to do with Aeron. The Chiss are not the galactic secret they once were, the Emperor has kept great ties with them for many years so it's no secret to where they are." Magisto looked out at the viewport of the tunnel of hyperspace before looking back at Serratus. "This ship was not a lost traveler or some scout, it had purpose, and its jump wouldn't have lead it to Aeron, not based on our calculations. This ship was jumping else where, to where? I've no clue, but it jumped somewhere and I believe others are jumping from that point to that point as well. Would you reason the same?"

Serratus considered the information.

"It's perfectly plausible. It would explain why Fahr was set up on Aeron. His base had at least some function as a gateway planet on a hyperspace jump. The enemy's ships were equipped to detect whatever signal Fahr was broadcasting and from Aeron they could jump to another location."

The High Mage nodded.

"You think that they could be jumping to their headquarters?"

"Possibly, it could be anything but if many ships are going there then it means it's important," Magisto spoke as the bridge awoke with life, "Lord Magisto, we're exiting hyperspace now!" Magisto stood up and moved toward the center of the bridge, "Begin all scans as soon as we're able to, put the ship in stealth immediately before that. Check for hostiles, and prepare any fighters in case we're discovered."

Magisto turned back to Serratus, "Our job today is to discover if more than one ship are using this route, if it proves to be important then we'll begin planning for fighters to attempt to extract the coordinates of the jump before the ships can leave." The large ship left hyperspace, all that was before them was an endless surrounding of black dotted with the small existences in distances far away. The ship's life seemed to die down to few lights and the engines closed. The ship remained still as officers relayed information to one another regarding what they were scanning.

"If we were to locate Fahr, what would you do High mage?" Magisto questioned the Sith, he knew the man hungered for something and needed to be sure of his suspicion.

Serratus let out a heavy sigh, but one not of sadness or regret, but one of seething anger.

"I would squeeze every pain sensor on his body until he screamed to die and then I would refuse to let him. I would sear away his skin with my lightsaber until he screamed to die and then I would refuse to let him. I would torture him until he became completely numb and no longer screamed to die. And then I would let him. Because of Fahr's actions, many fine Mages perished. Fahr is a terrorist but I will not let him bring terror to the Empire. I will show him true terror."

Magisto smirked, "Such hunger, but be aware that these hungers can some times destroy us. Do not allow yourself to lose control Serratus, it could be a deciding factor in whether or not you win a fight or lose." Waving the man over to follow him to the end of the bridge for a closer view of space from the viewports, he stood still, hands clasped behind his back awaiting whether or not his suspicions might be true.

The ship had settled into a quiet state, people were still working but no one was talking, it was all a waiting game and Magisto had come to wait it out. "I hope you are not bored with this suspense Serratus, I don't expect immediate results yet."

Serratus shook his head.

"Don't worry Lord Magisto, I have patience. I spent five years inside a suit of armour, I'm able to wait."

( Going to slowly get this started again Serratus, sorry for it's hiatus. )

Magisto had been discussing things with Serratus when the force flickered, he wasn't sure if Serratus had felt it but he did. Like a blanket, he consumed the lives of the ship in a bubble, sucking the presence of each from being sensed or felt by anyone that might be looking. And then it happened, a large imperial ship appeared before them, it stopped unaware of their presence as the ship had gone into it's cloak and with Magisto working to shield the lives in the force it was blissfully unaware.

Everyone in the ship had grown silent, everyone watched carefully and finally the ship was gone. "Jumped" Magisto said as everyone let out their breaths and everything reverted to normal procedure. The strain on him to hide so many lives had begun to take a toll, so he released them and sat back in his chair. Taking a deep breath he turned to Serratus. "What did you feel?" Magisto had not been able to extend his senses outward, he was too busy shielding his own ship from having anyone probe it.

((I think the statement in my previous post oddly matches my response right now. Except I wasn't stuck in a suit of armour.))

Serratus had been preparing for the arrival of such a ship and had sent out a probing tendril of thought through the Force, which he had then expanded like a bubble around the other ship. He had sensed a great deal of people, but only two had seemed significant to him.

"Two Force-sensitives, both dark siders. One was on the bridge, the other was in an on-board dojo."

"Significant, but what do you think an Imperial ship is doing out here?" He was curious himself, holding a hand out to Serratus for a second he looked at the closest officer. "Did we get read on it?" He doubted it.

"No sir, they jumped before we could get a good read on their transponder code. It was jumbled so we couldn't get who the ship was registered too, or at least which officer." Just as Magisto anticipated, they would have to get closer and with better scanners.

The dark lord turned back to Serratus, "Go on, tell me what you think."

Serratus inhaled sharply before giving his answer.

"Rather than give you a whole spiel about all the possibilities and potentials of the situation, I'll be perfectly frank. I think that ship was full of traitors. Last time I checked, offical Imperial vessels all code their jumblers exactly the same, so that we can read each other's ships. The only ships that don't are stealth ships and the personal vessels of the High Council. That ship was too big to be a stealth ship and the two dark siders were no where near the scale of power of a High Council member. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I think it's highly possible given the recent climate."

Magisto nodded, "Force users... hm." The darkest knight pondered quietly to himself as he analyzed what was before them. "Commander, jump the ship away, we'll be back." Turning back to look at the mage Magisto stood up, stretching his legs. "I intend to continue watching this spot but not now, next time we'll get closer.

May I remind you, nothing you've seen, been a part of, or heard shall leave this ship. If it does, you'll learn why the Emperor chose me as his darkest knight."

Serratus nodded at the Dark Lord.

"I understand secrecy, Lord Magisto. I've learned things as High Mage that would cause mass hysteria if their existence was known. All that has transpired here will remain here."

"High Mage, I would like to then make a request for your office. I am going to be sending men to pick up information from the planet the rebels inhabited, or at least whatever information remains and I need you to cover this. The Inquisitors have all but left the mess in your hands, I wish to study whatever is left." Magisto was interested in piecing whatever he could from whatever he could get.
