Vader looked silently at the comm as the man spoke. When the audio played, several men looked up as they heared the voice. Some looked with widened eyes, they appearently knew Anakin. Vader looked at it with silence. They knew of who he was? And now his men know it too. He couldn't stop Tarkin, as much as he wanted to. "The person you mention is dead. I am willing to help, in the name of the Empire. Bu-" Vader was interrupted by a comm officer.Above Gladius-1"You are responsible for millions, if not billions of deaths. You did nothing when Tarkin ordered the destruction of Alderaan. You led death-squads across the galaxy to kill innocents who were simply hiding from you. And then there was the massacre at the Jedi temple."
The voice changed, playing audio
What followed were the sounds of children screaming and the movement of a lightsaber.
"We have amassed information from across the Multiverse We know all of your crimes, Anakin. But we are willing to give you a chance...
We have a common enemy. A darkness that has swept across multiple worlds and consumed them. As I said, I am willing to grant you temporary amnesty until this threat is dealt with."

"Lord Vader, we encountered an unknown force six kilometers from our position. They're wearing Imperial uniforms. However, their armor don't match any current uniform in use." The man said.
Vader reached out through the Force, he could sense them. The Dark Side of the Force. There were several. And they were most likely not friendly.
Vader looked back at the comm "I am willing to cooperate, but break my trust... you know what happens." Vader made clear "If you excuse me. We will have to talk further at a later time." he added before turning away from the comm. Returning to Admiral Piet with a gulp. In the background, it was completely silent. Like no one even dared to breath.
Vader wasn't done yet with the man, but the soldiers coming his way took his attention. This was not going well. "Prepare defenses now." he said with a commanding voice. After a second or so, the men went on to prepare for the possible attack. He could have simply choked him with the Force, yet this man had some things to explain. Like how he managed to get information from the Jedi Temple. This could be a huge security risk.
