[The Count strokes his beard, considering. He's improvising this particular scheme on the fly, since the opportunity has so insolently presented itself, but the truth is he has been thinking about getting more information on the Porter bases for quite some time.]
I am sure there is some kind of control centre that the military uses to make the Porters send travellers to their intended destinations- from Maurtia Falls to Nonah, for instance. I would be most impressed if you could obtain images of this centre from one of the bases, and information on how it is secured. Time is no issue. As for reward...
[He half-smiles.]
Perhaps you could consider it a test. A chance to impress me with your capabilities.
[A little joke. He has no expectation that Leonard will actually risk himself just on a point of pride. Besides, a mission like this is worth spending some money on. Even if Dooku cannot personally make use of the information, he can trade or share it with his more curious allies or potential recruits to show his reach. That, in itself, is valuable.]
