[there's a few blurry images uploaded on the network of a young man in a club being dragged outside, followed by an equally blurry image of a black suv, a photo of a Pennsylvania state id, and number from a license plate scrawled on a piece of paper. The ID has the name "Miguel Lopez", the picture is of a smiling young man with olive skin and short black hair, and while the ID lists his age as 24, he doesn't look any older than his late teens]

this all went down at club metro in mf. i don't know who's been watching the news but a lot of shady stuff has been going on up there lately. young people disappearing without a trace, including this guy. his real name's eric abello and his parents reported him missing after he didn't come home this weekend. my partner and i ran the tags on the car he left in and did some digging - it's a rental from kayak budget rentals north of mf. but here's the weird part: the man who rented it, george thomas, died three years ago.

this isn't some weird coincidence. if we can find out what happened to him then we can find out what happened to everyone else.

I have a task available for any imPorts looking for work. A simple retrieval, quite legitimate.

[An image of the item in question is attached.]

Something was taken from me earlier this year. A weapon I crafted with my own hands, long ago: my lightsaber. A curved hilt, which emits a red blade of energy when activated. Powerful and elegant, if wielded by the proper hands. It is past time that it returned to my care, and I am prepared to offer a most handsome reward to anyone who assists me in this task. Should we be unable to agree on a fitting financial compensation, I am quite prepared to trade in favours or information instead.

[Dooku is kinda broke right now.]

Rest assured that I desire this item for no sinister purpose. It is my own creation and rightful possession, and I have keenly regretted its absence during recent perils.

I encourage all of you who don't have some manner of weapon or suitable powers to think carefully of how you, too, can defend yourselves. We live in dangerous times, and our enemies are many. Tell me, are you prepared to protect your own life and the lives of those around you when danger threatens? The time may come for you, if it hasn't already, when you will have to answer this question in ways beyond the hypothetical.
