Plot Summary
The group convened on the Integrity's bridge's war room where Ahsoka explained in the months following her activities on Oba-Diah Bo-Katan had been tracking Maul's movements using the transmission codes he was using acquired by her. Anakin was quick to question of why Ahsoka was on Oba-Diah but she simply stated it was a long story and irrelevant to the current situation. It was soon revealed by Bo-Katan using that information that Maul was on Mandalore and within the New Mandalorian capital of Sundari two days prior. Obi-Wan quickly ascertained that they needed the Republic's help. Bo-Katan admitted that she did not have the numbers for a Siege on Mandalore, that would prevent Maul from escaping and a total reclamation of the Capital, she instead posited the idea for a joint-operation between her forces and the Republic, where she would have claim of Mandalore and the Republic would have Maul. Kenobi very weary on the validity of such an action citing treaties between the Republic and Mandalore would cause essentially another war to errupt between the Republic and the Mandalorians. Anakin chiming in to take Obi-Wan's side in that they couldn't just start another conflict while the Clone Wars raged, Obi-Wan informed them that he was to inform the Jedi Council upon the development and have them discuss which course of action to take. A furious Bo-Katan mentioned her sister to Kenobi whom he had previously held a romantic attraction for, leading Anakin to look to his former Master in his response to how he would honor her memory to her sister. Obi-Wan still held her memory and her actions in high regard and meaning but that he couldn't allow that to affect his judgement of the situation, Kenobi left the room to contact the Council.
