"I'd never even heard of the Force until I got here. What's it like? How many people have it?"

"Heck if I know! Ask a Jedi or something, man."

"Where do I find one of those?"

"Uhhh..."

"Maybe Coruscant or someplace like that? They don't come to backwaters like this, like, at all."

"Okay. Are there places on this planet that need help?"

"Naw, this place is boring as - heck. As soon as I'm old enough I'm signing up for the army and ditching this dustball."

"Okay."

He grabs the artifacts and returns them to the room they were taken from, triggering the security system again, and then waits for Occlus.

She calls him less than a minute later.

"Hey," he says. "I can get you the tombs but I have another deal in mind if you want."

"I'm listening."

"It's going to take me forever to figure out what needs doing here. I am sort of thinking that I should make it known to everyone that I can make arbitrary matter and that means ships, terraforming, their political enemies' classified writings, whatever, and then working for whoever will offer me the most money, and then spending the money on humanitarian projects, but this won't work if my money won't be respected or if I'll start a war or if I'll make it too hard in some other way I'm not thinking of because I'm a kid and from a different dimension. You seem - competent. Can you help me figure out how to do this? It would probably be really easy for you to leverage 'coordinating the activities of the only demon in the dimension' into arbitrary power but I don't really care unless you'd be dead set on torturing lots of people once you're powerful."

"I have all the power I desire already. And more than enough responsibility. I would, however, be remiss in my duty to the Empire were I to pass up this offer." She does not sound as though she thinks very well of her duty to the Empire.

"I didn't offer anything to any Empire. What tombs are you looking for?"

"They would pay exceedingly well, to be sure. You are far more versatile than the Star Forge ever was and do not require the life of suns as fuel." Occlus pauses. "You do change the game. I will help you."

"...if you've got something that requires the life of suns as fuel I could probably fuel it. I want everyone in this universe to live forever if they want to and want for nothing, is that goal compatible with your empire?"

"It is not. But I am a prisoner of this system as much as I am one of its leaders, and with your help, I might finally escape."

"That works too."

Occlus smiles tightly.

"Good. I can set up a line of credit for you with an advance payment of three hundred thousand credits in exchange for terraforming the fourth planet of the Dromund system. That will be enough of a proof of concept to get the rest of the Council onboard and authorize additional funding. From there, we can pivot out and establish a more neutral organization of your own to be the face. Begin relations with the Republic and unaligned parties. Start requiring cooperation with your long-term goals in exchange for your services."

He relaxes and smiles. "Yeah, that's exactly - yeah. Thank you. What do you want the planet terraformed like? My native planet all the flora's edible for humans, it's really convenient, we usually install it everywhere we go -"

"Any improvement over the current standard of cold and airless will suffice. If you have a standard pattern, that will do."

"Okay!" That's enough of a description to conjure a model and then he can teleport. He takes the pad with him. "It'll probably take me a couple weeks to get it habitable. Do you want me to build cities and stuff too?"

"How much time will that add to the project?"

"Maybe a day."

Occlus nods. "Do it."

The planet's big enough to hold an atmosphere. He does air, first, flying around in it as he makes it, swirls and loops and dips and singing and eventually it's routine enough he can read while he does it. He reads Darth Occlus' stuff, to make sure there are no signs she is secretly super evil. (She apparently works for an evil Empire, but that's okay, it seems like most competent people positioned to change stuff probably do that.)
