Welcome to Gaia! ::

The weak signal was picked up by the communications center of the senate. The woman in charge of the place sighed as she routed it to a computer so it could be heard clearer. She nodded in disbeleif as sh listened. Why the hell was the message sent here? She thought. With a few pad strokes she started to reply, though she had to boost the power to do so.

A security camera zoomed back out, and went back to its duties. It had just recorded something very good, and the security booth knew it. It would be held untill the meeting started. The security booth called whomever needed to tell the senators, and they inturn called all the senators. The trail was about to begin.

((Thats means you two ladies have to RP. xd ))

The Senate Official opened the door to the suite and then stepped aside. "Here it is, sir," said the Senate Official and turned around and left. Volt watched as the man left. As soon as the Senate Official was out of sight, he turned around and walked into his suite. He was dumbstruck as his gazed at the magnificent room the Senate had prepared for him. "Maybe the Senate is not as bad as people say they are..." He walked to the middle of the room and looked at his surroundings.

The living area was well decorated with astonishing paintings by many famous artists. Healthy and green plants were placed at every corner of the suite. The furniture seemed to be of the best quality in the galaxy. Volt ran his hands against the couch, carefully examining it. The leather around it was very cold, but nice nonetheless. It was also very soft and well cushioned. The armchair across the couch seemed to be the same.

Volt walked into the bedroom, finding it similarly decorated. The bed, like the couch, was also soft. The sheets were made of silk and the pillows stuffed with feathers. A door on the other side of the room led to the bathroom, which was also decorated nicely.

The trial soon to begin, Volt was no where near presentable. His body was covered in filth and dried blood from his journey across Korriban to reach the Jedi Camp. He turned the knobs of the bath and watched as the water poured out of the faucet and fill the tub. Volt began to disrobe, tossing his clothes into the bedroom, along with his lightsaber. He slowly sank into the tub and began to bathe...

((I'm here! I'm here! *zaps you back*))

It is during Aria's late afternoon tea time that the young Hapan Senator is summoned to the Rotunda. She is surprised by the sheer efficiency of the Senate and quickly prepares to leave.

The "trial" is about to begin, M'Lady. We should make haste, Dione tells her as she helps the fiery-haired Senator into a new gown. Her hair is still wet from the nice long bath she took earlier and while Aria puts on her earrings, her handmaiden quickly brushes out her long tresses and ties the young woman's hair up in a pretty up-do.

Your transport awaits, Captain Aya announces as the dark-haired woman enters the Senator's chambers, flanked by a half-dozen Royal Guards.

Aria nods in acknowledgement and hurries out of her quarters with her entourage. Within minutes, the transport is speeding towards the Senatorial Rotunda. As Aria watches the scenery fly by, she wonders about what will transpire during the coming meeting. The fate of the Jedi could very well be decided tonight.... she thinks.

When the transport pulls up in front of the steps of the rotunda, the Hapan Senator and her entourage quickly climb the steps and hurry into the large arena. Aria shakes her head with a sad smile, recalling her earlier "late" arrival. Upon approaching the box reserved for the Hapan diplomatic party, Aria slows her pace, smooths her gown and puts on a face of complete confident composure. Pushing the curtain back, she steps onto the platform and takes a seat, her piercing eyes scanning her surroundings while she tries to get a "sense" of the general air of the Senate.

((WAIT, The republic needs to be here. Will make Gordens App right away!))

Waking up the Republic Representative turned to look at the time and he was shocked. The trial was going to begin without him! Getting up with all due haste Gorden rushed about sending messages to his Aids who were allready there! Feeling ashamed Gorden quickly grabbed his Diplomats Cloths on and rushed out to his Speeder, his pilot was already there and smiling, Gorden had a habit of being a bit late, but he always was the best Talker. The Pilot rushed him to the Senate and as soon as he hit the ground his Aids were upon him giving out advice saying that we should stay nuetrel. But everyone knew that Gorden wouldent, he had served under the Jedi at one point in his Life and he knew the Jedi would never hurt people unless it served the greater good. Walking onto his Platform he took his seat, he looked down and saw the Jedi on his platform waitng to be tried.

The constant stares from the Senate made the hairs on the back of Volt's neck rise. He knew what they were thinking... he didn't even need to use the Force. The Senate is an open book.
"The Jedi are guilty, the Jedi are guilty, the Jedi are guilty."

((Yeah, I didn't know what else to put... sweatdrop Eh...))

"Jedi Volt. I believe he is a only a Jedi Knight, not a master or a member of their council, but we'll find that out once the trial starts. It really matters little, what he has to say, since most of the Senate has already made up it's minds, been bribed to a position, or has been threatened one way or the other."

"But we don't know who was doing the bribing or threatening," Relina said, more as a statement than a question.

"No. And none of Corellia's allies have had any luck in finding out either," Merl responded. Wondering a moment, she asked, "What will happen to the Jedi if the vote goes against him?"

Relina almost reacted by arching her eyebrows but managed to keep her face impassive as she thought through possible scenarios. "I would hope the Senate possesses the foresight to allow him to return home in peace, and gives other known Jedi a period of truce in which they may voluntarily remove themselves from worlds under Alliance control." At this Relina frowned, forgetting that she was supposed to be keeping a sagely appearance in front of the Senate. The mutters that started were almost immediate until she returned her face back to an unreadable mask. Sighing to herself and ignoring the stir, Relina continued talking to her aide. "The Senate has not been known recently for it's foresight. And I have a feeling the Imperials will do what they can to stir up trouble should they win the vote."

"What will you do in that event?"

"What is best for Corellia. And the rest of the Galaxy be damned."
