Saresh added, "Maybe the Imperials have been in league with the Cunning Man the whole time. It would make sense."

The Senator added, “Jedi Master Baesal’s wisdom should not be scoffed at, Imperial. We have come this far together, no reason to be abrasive now.”

"How long will that take Senator? How long do we have?" Galen asked.

"Communication is spotty once I arrive at Boz Pity, I can get the process started," she admitted.

"I want to review this data more with our own specialists before I am willing to commit any Republic assets, no offense Master Jedi, but the Senate would need to be assured first," she admitted.

The senator and her aides were present.

"Right away, senator." he agreed. "Anything else?"

"I hope your family is well," she offered warmly.

She listened and had an aid to take notes. They handed the senator a datapad and she said, "This is important information for the Republic Senate, I entrust it to House Panteer to deliver. Given your rapport with the pirates I am sure you can make it happen, Paladin."

She held out the datapad.

"I hate to impose, Paladin, but this presents a us a chance to communicate with Republic and request reinforcements," she offered.

"And figure out the state of things."

"I think so." he nodded. "We may need to clarify a few things, but the White Maw now work for Alderaan. At least their queen and the Immortal do." "That's two out of three, good enough," she said proudly. "Then tomorrow we can take the offensive, if the Gree come through we can finally be rid of th...

If the Senator was annoyed at the Jedi taking the lead, she did not show it.

"The General is handling casualty reports, "We lost some high profile Imperial members, but I am not losing sleep over that."

"I got word negotiations with the pirates went better than expected?"

Senator Saresh was present, the general had been injured and would be along shortly.

Senator Saresh said, "Do you have suggestions on how to overcome their space superiority?

"We don't have confirmation there are not also attacks the Empire, as well," she responded. "And the rumors on the base say this Eternal Empire is going after everyone."

"This just gives our mission more gravity," Saresh said.

"I definitely think this particular story will end up with a title." he said.

"You going to write it, Paladin," she joked and then observed their guest and added, "Is this some kind of a joke?"

"Yes. It's not quite what we expected." he said, walking back with her.

"That could be the title of our expedition's life story," she responded.

The cup was refilled. "Make yourself comfortable. We'll go get Senator Saresh for you."

Galen turned and walked away.

The Senator was actually on her way and said, "Paladin, did the ship arrive?"

The senator added, “There may be a facility that she could serve her time in, I’ll discuss it with you and your Jedi Council.”

Thy frowned but stayed silent.

Luth sighed. Time to make an enemy, I guess. She stood from the defense table, screwing up her confidence one more time. "I will simply state on the record that I believe the judgment was not impartial, considering a claim made by someone uninvolved in the proceedings off the record needed to be me...

The senator rose when Thy sat down, and said harshly, “Layne Hoshin you have failed in your duties as a defender of the Republic. The life you have taken can never be repaid, but I am assured by the Jedi that you will be forced to face the gravity of your actions. Still upon our return to Republic s...

There are gasps from the peanut gallery and the Senator frowned making notes on her datapad.
