1357. Three conspiracies
"No! It's a referendum! It's about to start!" Hermit was suddenly startled and stood up.
"If the result of the referendum reaches Coruscant, then Galactic Republic will have the excuse to occupy Mandalore by force! It will become possible for Death Watch to control the planet!" Jango-Fett said in a deep voice.
"We still have time to stop the referendum," Protoss Dark Templar, Oola-Khan said. "That's why we're here."
However, Vitaly-Orlov took two steps forward and stood in front of them, saying, "Wait a minute! Listen to me carefully! This matter is not that simple. Galactic Republic has been secretly involved in this matter! They also want to occupy Mandalore by force!"
"If this is the case, we must stop this referendum as soon as possible!" Jango-Fett said.
"Don't you understand what I mean? From the moment Pre-Vizsla takes Duke Satine back again, the referendum can't be stopped! All Galactic Republic needs is a reason, they won't care about the result of this referendum!" Vitaly-Orlov said loudly.
"Then why do they go to such great lengths to use such a brainwashing device to control the people of the city?" Hermit also suddenly caught some clues.
"Because what happened to Mandalore was not one thing, but three things!" Vitaly-Orlov raised three fingers and said, "Let's go to the palace now. All that is waiting for us is a dragnet!"
Hermit was surprised, "Three things? Not just to promote Mandalore's referendum and let Mandalore join Confederacy of Independent Systems, so as to give Galactic Republic an excuse to send troops to occupy it?"
"This is just the most obvious thing." Vitaly-Orlov said in a deep voice, "The other thing is about this brainwashing device. Using this device to control the people of the city is just an experiment! An experiment using the people on Dathomir planet as materials! As for using it to control the people of the city to vote in a referendum, it is just one of the purposes."
Vitaly-Orlov looked extremely solemn, "The referendum was successful, Galactic Republic sent troops to occupy Mandalore; the referendum failed, Death Watch took advantage of the situation and came to power to overthrow the rule of Duke Satine, then join Galactic Republic and join the war! It doesn't matter! Therefore, this control device is just a tool to successfully overthrow Duke Satine if the referendum fails. The real purpose is not this, but a large-scale experiment."
"What about the third thing?" Hermit asked again.
"I don't know what the third thing is, maybe it has something to do with this biochip." Vitaly-Orlov said, "Although I don't know what this biochip does, I'm sure it was taken from Coruscant by that big shot. The third thing brought is that a big shot at Coruscant came to Mandalore secretly, and his purpose must have nothing to do with the referendum or the experiment."
"How did you know?" Jango-Fett asked.
"Because the box that was stolen by the maintenance man belonged to that big shot." Vitaly-Orlov said, "The maintenance man was a habitual criminal before. When he was transporting goods, he secretly opened one of the best-looking luggage and found this thing inside."
"It's impossible for a mere maintenance worker to have this ability." Jango-Witt didn't quite believe it.
"He has long overwritten the program of a handling robot, and with the cooperation of the robot, he has been stealing things from the cargo for a long time. It can only be said that this time he was very lucky. It happened that the robot was carrying the luggage of the big man, and he happened to steal this luggage." Vitaly-Orlov said, "Sometimes this kind of coincidence makes no sense, but it just happens."
He continued, "Then I hid in the transmitting tower and wanted to use the transmitting tower to send out the message. As a result, I accidentally monitored a short period of communication and realized that the important things brought by this big man were lost. He was very angry and cursed Pre in the communication. Z-Vizsla, and Vizsla actually didn't dare to reply. You know he is a domineering guy even in normal times, how could he endure such anger? It can only be said that this big shot's background is extraordinary."
"By the way, I learned that you can't be controlled by chewing Thyssel tree bark. I also found out in this communication. It's good luck, because after a few hours, they activated the device." After Vitaly-Orlov finished speaking, he shook his head.
"In other words, since we can't prevent Mandalore from being controlled by Galactic Republic, then at least we must destroy the core device and make their experiment fail?" Hermit said while touching his chin.
"I think that's it." Vitaly-Orlov said, "Now that we have the biochip in the box, if we destroy the core device again, then at least we can let Pre-Vizsla failed at two of the three things. And to be honest, I think there may be other masterminds behind Pre-Vizsla."
"It is never advisable to throw yourself into a trap. We agree with this plan." Oola-Khan's voice rang in everyone's minds.
Hermit took a deep breath, looked out the window and said, "What happened to Mandalore is probably the beginning of a series of conspiracies. I very much agree with your judgment, Vitaly-Orlov. Compared with you at Cerean civil war, you have changed too much and become too powerful, but I..."
He shook his head again, "I'm still confused..."
"Let's solve Mandalore's crisis first." Vitaly-Orlov remained calm in the face of praise.
"You go, I'm going to save Duke Satine - a person." Hermit said.
"You knew you were throwing yourself into a trap, but you still rushed forward?" Jango-Fett said.
But Hermit raised his hand and took off his mask, put it in the hands of Vitaly-Orlov, and said, "This is what I have to do - not as Dawn Star Planet Hermit, but as Obi-Wan-Kenobi, a man."
"You told me before that you put on the mask to find the answer. So did you find it? Or did you give up?" Jango-Fett asked.
"If I can't save her and stay with her, then I will never be able to find the answer." Obi-Wan-Kenobi said, "I should have understood this when Shiri-Tachi was killed by me..."
He smiled slightly, "Go back and tell Tang Xiao that when I put on this mask again, that's when I will kill him."
After saying that, he strode out directly.
