"Yes," Qui-Gon agreed. "Let's find UniFy. We must move as quickly as we can."


They left the dome and started down the main boulevard. The streets were strangely deserted. Qui-Gon imagined that most of the population was in the Katharsis Dome. Did they suspend work during Katharsis days?


He and Obi-Won passed a large, impressive building with blue-veined stone columns in front. A silver plaque read THE XANATOS INSTITUTE FOR HEALING.


"He has certainly made his mark," Qui-Gon murmured.


"Look at the library across the street," Obi-Wan said, pointing. "He funded that, too."


"The problem will not be finding him, obviously," Qui-Gon said. "The challenge will be to expose him for what he really is. The people love him. He has made sure of that. He has protected himself better by staying in the open than by hiding."


Obi-Wan scanned a sign that announced that Xanatos was providing the funds to restore a large city park. "He must have a reason behind all this," he observed.


"He always has a reason," Qui-Gon agreed. "Naturally he wants to exert influence on Telos. But that is too broad a goal for him. We shall have to discover exactly what he intends."


"Hey, genius guys!"


They turned to see Den heading for them. "I thought you might need help finding UniFy," he said. "I realized that there's no sign on the building."


"What about the lottery?" Obi-Wan asked. "Isn't today your lucky day?"


"All my days are lucky, kid," Den said, falling into step next to them. "But I don't get a chance to do a good deed often enough."


"We were just noticing all the buildings Xanatos has built in Thani," Qui-Gon remarked. "He has been a true benefactor."


Den waved an arm. "In the past few years he's supported parks, libraries, med centers, the big healing institute? he's made a fortune in mining throughout the galaxy, but he doesn't hoard it. He spreads it around. That's more than any of those lottery winners will do, let me tell you."
