Hel-Pa heard the hiss of the airlock open, and walked into one of Taldryan's unnamed capital ships it had recently acquired after the Incursion. Impressive... he thought; the Nebula-Class ship was massive and overwhelming, surely no Clan would ever cross paths with Taldryan again. The reports of the Library of Lears were filtering in to him, but at the moment it was of little concern to him. Sklib was a fighter, and would have much rather seen the construction of an arena similar to the Antei Combat Centre, or some other facility where he and other could hone their skills in combat... not read books all day.

Vodo had recently updated Hel-Pa on the library's progress, and it was nearly complete. _Only a few more weeks, master..." _he remembered his Aedile saying to him. Surely Consul Duga would be pleased with Ektrosis' project, and Hel-Pa knew Chaosrain would appreciate the Library his old House had constructed.

He had received messages from the Battleteam Leaders of rumors that there were saboteurs among them, and this concerned the Quaestor. While only rumors, the Brotherhood had just been crippled by the Yuuzhan Vong, leaving them vulnerable for a final strike. The Library was to be Ektrosis' proud and joy, and Hel-Pa knew Vodo would not let anything happen to it... and if he did, he knew what he had coming from his immediate superior.
