(planning) on the trail of missing captain laprovik

[Jane Starborn]

Because Charley and I talk about stuff and then we forget what we planned, here's a place to dump it... where other Rebels can know what Jane Starborn and Eluna Thals are up to.

Roleplays
Extreme Ways - Byl Laprovik wakes up on an unknown planet with no memory. He connects with James Prent by chance and heads to Cloud City to find out who he is. Agent Jane Starborn is tasked with locating the missing Captain, her only clues a cryptic message he left behind about being on the trail of a traitor, and the last people who saw him - General Dan and the Jedi s'Ilancy. Dan tells her that Byl confronted him on Schwartzveld to bribe him for his command codes, and left when he was unsuccessful. s'Ilancy backed up the story.

Manhunter - Jane Starborn is contacted by the HRD Eluna Thals, who joins her in her mission to track down the missing Laprovik. Their first stop - the Figaro Favoura system where he was last seen.

A Needle in a Haystack - Jane and Eluna land on Swartzweld (who knows how its spelled who invented that name Jenny!) and find it to be devoid of sentient life... except for the former Colonel, Erasmus Karrnage, who has been changed into a Lupine shapeshifter. They grill him for information and discover that on the day that Dan and s'Ilancy left there was a heated discussion between the couple and one or two other people that he did not see. He heard the word Sith in the argument, leading the agents to wonder if Jedi Loklorien s'Ilancy was actually a Sith, and if that was what Byl had meant about a traitor in the Alliance. They leave him to his 'research' on the planet, and visit the most likely place that Byl would have gone after leaving. They find his ship abandoned, and that the only transports to and from the planet go to one system - Bespin. They also set up a meeting with a contact of Byl's, Lilaena De'Ville.

The Turning Tide - Eluna makes the meeting with Lilaena, who wants to join the Alliance after years of fighting the Empire on her own. Jane searches the port records for anything in Byl's name and finds nothing. Except she catches sight of two tickets on a recent transport headed to REDACTED in the name of James Prent. She remembers the name of the adept that had been treated by the Alliance a year previously, and that Laprovik had been known to spend time with her between missions. She checks the security feeds and cannot find a single frame of Prent or her companion entering the transport, which means she didn't get on it, or that someone with extensive training carefully avoided the holocams.

Prey for Life
James Prent answers the door at her hideaway on Copperline to find two Alliance agents (Jane and Eluna), asking her about Byl. He is hiding in the room(bathroom? under the bed? on the ceiling above the door? ) and James tells them nothing, afraid that the two women might actually be Imperials trying to trick her.

A Strawman
Jane Starborn and Eluna Thals travel to the Sullust system to hook up with Fourth Fleet, and General Dan's Dauntless to check out a rumor of a mysterious prisoner aboard.

To Come
Eluna and Jane give LD and Akasha a ride to the <strike>Rebel fleet</strike> Rebel outpost, where they hear rumors about an unknown mysterious prisoner on the Dauntless (coming up in The Turning Tide). They then follow up on James' transport tickets to see if that leads anywhere (Prey for Life). Finding nothing (or?) on Copperline, the two agents seek out the Dauntless once more.

Discovering Zem instead of Byl, the agents would be confused as to why s'Ilancy was party to holding another Jedi prisoner... Still need to flesh out what's coming next!

Besides Jane and Eluna sniffing to closely to Dan's evil badness for comfort.
