Ras jumps down from the balcony and slowly walks up to John.

"It is a pleasure to meet you mister Shepard, I hope we can resolve this matter as civil people. " He extends his hand.

"Like wise, it's just that I don't trust people who attack and kidnap me. " He shakes his hand despite his obvious frustration, they stop shaking after a few seconds.

"My apologies, but the Jedi are not fond of our order and you are known not to trust people, but I hope we can put the past behind us, he places his palm on Johns shoulder and the two of them start walking out of the room.

"Why did you attack me, you obviously wanted more from me than just Almecs journal. " He says it with a look of suspicion in his eyes.

"I have been following you for a very long time, because of your special.... gifts you and your family were forced to live in a life of fear, but do you know why that is? " He removes his palm and places both of his hands behind his back. They enter a dinning room with a large table and arabic cuisine awaiting them on it, they both sit down on the opposite sides of the table and begin eating. The conversation starts up again as John finishes his meal.

"Thank you for the meal, now tell me what you know. " He pushes his chair back from the table.

"I don't know your personal history before you were found on Earth, but I do know a great many things about your race that the Jedi do not. " He makes a hand gesture and his guards bring them both John takes a sip of wine and puts the cup down.

"Such as? " He crosses his arms and raises his eyebrow in disbelief.

"I know that 16 years there was catastrophe that destroyed the Xel Nāga home world of Requiem, most of the population was decimated and the planet itself blew up, you are one of the few survivors of your species. "

John has a horrified look on his face, but he presses the issue further. "What can you tell me about my species specifically? "

"Your species was one of the most diverse in terms of abilities, most of you had a healing factor that varied in terms of strength, you could do anything from shooting lasers out of yours eyes to being able to reincarnate yourselves through spiritual magic. " He drinks all of the wine in his cup and leans back in his over sized chair.

"You specifically have super strength, a moderately strong healing factor, exceptional intellect and of course Force potential, who knows what else you might have been able to do if your species.... survived. " Ras excitedly lists his powers but quickly calms down in fear of insulting John.

"I.... Thank you for telling me this, but you still havent told me what you want. " Ras leaves his chair and walks up to a nearby window.

"I want you to help me stop Chancelor Palpatine, the people in the Republic may think hes some king of angel but the man is a vicious killer and a master manipulator, your Jedi order is too blind to see the coming danger. "

"And you want my help to stop him, the real question is what do you gain from this? " He crosses his arms again.

"My goal is to make sure that man is stopped, if he succeeds he will not only gain control of the Republic but the Council and the Alliance, there will be no one left to stop him and a Sith with that kind of power would be a catastrophe. " He comes back to the table and sits back in his chair.

"Fine, keep your secrets. " John stands up and slowly walks up to Ras. "But if you want me to succeed, im going to need access to all of your resources, I don't want your grunts but I do need your information and several key hideouts you have in the Mid to Outer Rim. " He quickly takes the initiative and stands up to Ras. "Do we have a deal? " He extends his hand.

"Yes we do. " They shake. "I assume you wish to immediately return to the Republic? "

"I do, while were on the subject, how did you cover up my little trip? " He turns back to the window.

"We made sure that commander Rex forgot everything, as far as he knows it was a bunch of bounty hunters who were trying to save their friend in prison. " He makes another hand gesture and the guards escort John out of the room. On the way to the hanger John encounters Talia.

"I assume you got what you wanted. " Her tone is cold and distant.

"I did, thank you for bringing me here, you've helped me a lot. " He says it to her a sincere tone. They reach the hangar with a slim black jet waiting for him. John looks at it in awe.

"Well, well you actually look surprised. " She sarcastically comments on the look on his face. They walk up to the jet, John rubs his hand against it.

"This is pure Ablative, the material itself is rare and expensive, and you made a whole ship out of it, Kinetic Barriers, Javelin Torpedoes and even a Thanix Cannon. " He keeps examining it in awe and excitement.

"Look at you, you look like a child that got a new toy. " She crosses her arms and sarcastically comments on John behaviour. "And you have a camouflage system so no one notices the 20 billion credit jet in a Republic hangar, this is amazing. "

"It should be I designed it, consider it a gift for me kidnapping you. "

"Thank you Talia, Il make sure to take care of her. " He again says it in a sincere tone and leans back in his chair.

"Well its time for you to go back to the Republic, oh and me careful, the Chancelor is no fool and he will figure out what you're doing. " She exits the jet and looks on as Johns jet flies into space. Ras also observes his departure from the window.

"You were right my friend, he is truly the one who will lead us to glory one day. " Ras turns around and a cloaked figure exits the shadows.

The figure removes his cloak and reveals himself to be Revan.
