(Jayden's POV)
The treasury not only held the egg but also various resources and items. I collected everything and cleaned the collector of anything that was inside the treasury vault.
There were credits, a lot of them in hard currency, which already set off some alarms in my mind, but these are what made me think that the collector is definitely not a good person, and I didn't feel bad about stealing from him.
I found some documents, well, digital documents and recordings, which I glanced over.
These are proofs of illegal dealings done by some Republican officers. Some are not exactly illegal, but they could bring them down politically if these were known to the outside world.
I don't believe that a person from the Balck Market would be storing them for something good. They would most likely be using these materials to blackmail these officers and politicians to make their own way easier, even if that hurts a lot of civilians and innocents in the process.
This is also what I would be doing, but I need to check what was recorded and whose dirty laundry is here. It would take time, which I am postponing for a later date.
Though I slept for a while during our return to Kashyyk, my body is still feeling the effects. I am sure it was not free of exhaustion.
So, for now, I would just be glossing over what was available, but later on, I would be diving deep into everything and would be deciding on how to make the best use of these.
In addition to Credits and records of crimes, there are many resources. There are many food and medical goods stored in the vault, and these are not everyday food items. They are exotic foods, which would cost a lot of credits.
There are a lot of crates filled with Stims, Weapons, Armour, and many technological blueprints, both legal and illegal, are among the loot.
Among the blueprints, there are spaceship blueprints. I have no idea how this one got those blueprints. Many of these are considered to be illegal after the Ruusan Reforms, as the blueprints for some of the spaceships are beyond what the reforms allow anyone to have.
Blueprints for Battle Droids, Weapons, and almost everything that can be considered illegal are here.
It looks like I may have stumbled upon some conspiracy of the Sith in the making.
Shit, I should have just taken the egg and left. As I said, greed always breeds trouble, no matter how much one feels they have handled the situation.
There is nothing I could do. As long as I act as if nothing were different with me, I might be safe, and I can do as planned.
Let's sleep for now. I can worry about the things later on. My brain was already fried from the work.

"See you around, Ayla, and you too, Padawan Jayden", Vos spoke
"It's been nice working with you", Aayla Secura spoke to me, and turned my master, "Hope to once again work with you, master Ventra".
"It's nice working with you two", my master and I said our goodbyes to Vos and Secura.
We rested enough the previous day, and it was time to leave. Those two are leaving for Coruscant, while we are going to our post, the Jedi Temple on Pantora.
"Master, may we make a pit stop?" I asked my master after we entered the ship.
"Pit stop? Where?" my master asked me.
"Naboo. My parents are on Naboo, and as it is on the path to Pantora, I want to make a stop. It has been years since I had seen them, face to face", I said.
My master looked like she wanted to rebuke, but sighed, "We can", she said and went to the cockpit.
"Idiot", I slapped myself on the head.
I forgot that, unlike me, who can speak with my family once in a while, she may not even know where she is from. I shouldn't have asked the favour, but I needed to see how they fare.
I walked to the cockpit, almost reached it, but turned away. There was no need to broach the subject once again, and no one expects such maturity from a ten-year-old.
Already, I showed that I am not a normal ten-year-old in the last few days. So, I doubt even someone like my master would be understanding if they saw too many anomalies.
Hell, I won't either.
Everyone would give grand speeches about not having any judgment regarding people or things, before they know about it, but that's just what everyone speaks, but doesn't follow, not 100%.
I will make something later on to cheer up my master, but saying or doing too much would become troublesome for me.
So, I entered my room and began reviewing those documents and other records of illegal activities inside the republic. These would come in handy, as long as I time it perfectly.
