Corvo's life had been pure turmoil recently. It was only inevitable, he supposed, given the clash on Korriban and Shae's defection to the Sith. It had left him heartbroken and less than thrilled about doing anything apart from bringing terrible wrath down on the Empire. He wanted his dark vengeance and were it not for Ciri, he likely would have slid back into his old ways - or so he was concerned about.
He'd been more than a little perplexed when he'd received a message on an encrypted communications line that was one of the old backup lines he and Shae used. Except the message wasn't from Shae. That alone infuriated him and set him immediately on edge. He'd set to work switching the lines and burning anything associated with those com channels. Flashbacks to Hapes flashed through his mind at the mysterious psycho who had attacked he and Shae.
After being content that everything was secured, he'd set out to make this "meeting." Everything about this was uncomfortable for him. He hated meeting up with Sith - because he assumed it was always a trap - but he'd worked with other defectors before, namely the former Grand Inquisitor, but that wasn't without risk.
The com message had been brief but he'd realized this man was the same he'd briefly encountered in the Korriban academy. He'd set out to make the meeting, changing its location at the last moment to throw off any planned ambush and watching for any irregularities.
And the true location was no outstanding place. Teth was a world easily accessible to both Jedi and Imperial space but under the control of neither. Corvo had set down on Teth even before changing the location and now was here waiting. Chaz had hidden the Fury nearby with engines running to extract him or provide fire support if the time came but not in sight of the meeting point.
The building chosen - a monastery or something - was spartan enough. It's occupants had been removed by his Shadows some time ago and no one seemed to have need of it since, so Corvo waited in the middle of the room, pacing in meditation as he glanced at the doorway that led deep underground. @Insalius
