On Coruscant, Rayencourt is there to see Vernestra. He is there to question her about the murder investigation she is keeping from the Senate.
He believes the Jedi are a massive system of unchecked power posing as a religion. He's concerned about them repressing emotions and being so restrained. One day, one of them will snap and who will stop him.
Rayencourt has reported her to Senator Drellik.
