Obi-Wan explained that he was on a Jedi mission to discover who had broken into Didi's Cafc after their group had left.


Yamele Polidor was a petite Rindian with pointed ears and two eight- fingered hands. She nodded politely at Obi-Wan. "Of course I will be glad to help."


The Corweillian Von Taub nodded. "As will I." "Did anyone come into the cafc while you were there?" Obi-Wan asked.


"Just the members of our own party," Yamele Polidor answered in the low, singsong manner of a Rindian.


"Did you notice anyone on the street outside?"


Von Taub shook his head. "We left, and the owner of the cafc, a young woman, locked the door after us. Jenna Zan Arbor was very upset with the service and food. I didn't think it was that bad, myself." He smiled.


"Maybe I'm more used to disorganization. But Jenna is a scientist who can't tolerate disorder."


"Do you know the other names on this list well?" Obi-Wan asked. He handed the list to them.


Yamele Polidor ran one of her long fingers down the list. "I know all of these scientists personally, except for Dobei Eranusite and Reesa On."


"I know Dobei quite well," Von Taub said. "Reesa On was a stranger to me as well."


"Did anyone know her?" Obi-Wan asked.


"Jenna Zan Arbor," Yamele Polidor answered.


"Yes, they worked on a research project together," Von Taub added.


"Jenna was very complimentary about her skills as a scientist. None of the rest of us knew her."


Obi-Wan kept his voice steady despite his rising excitement. "Do you remember what she looked like?"


"Not really," Yamele Polidor said with a shrug. "Tall, maybe? She was humanoid. That, I remember."


"Very striking," Von Taub said. "She wore a silk turban and a lovely septsilk robe."
