Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Thank you master Alron," Glacian said as he stepped forward. "The forces were as Master Alron said, large in number but not force, they swarmed to make up for there individual lack of strength. We managed to, quite literally, fry a large number of them and destroy their warmachines through the means of a cloud of highly electrically charged iron dust cloud but they kept coming, I couldn't tell you how many there were at the end of the battle, much less there number at the beginnin, and I fear there were even more before we arrived. Their numbers are unimagnible."

Glacian shifted his weigth as he continued. "Master Swex, now know to us a Quilan Shan (did i get the first name right?), did indeed go inside to 'talk' with Master Alron but within they very apperantly engaged in a fight, a saber adn force duel that we could feel outside, but not tell exactly what was happening. After the the T? (can't remember the name, once i do I'l edit that) Alliance, as they call themselves, won the battle by shutting down the shielding and destroying ythe generator building that Alron and Shan were fighting in, ending their fight appearantly along with ours. They slaughtered the remaining republic troops but left us alive, claiming that this was all a misunderstanding and that had come there peacfully and the only way that they could get off the planet was to destroy the shielding. Something that Shan and later the TA general backed up, but I have a hard time believing seeing as the force made it clear to me that the general lied almost as much as he breathed."

Glacian paused for a moment and then started again, "Shan claimed that Master Alron had lured him into the building and fought him because he had fallen to the dark side, something that I and the rest of the jedi here obviously have come to disbelieve, otherwise we would not be here. Sadly some of the padawans believed Shan and joined him. Shan it turns out is a nuetral jedi, and while I do not condem that, I must say that his and the TA's actions have lead me to believe that his and their intentions and plans are not...as diplomatic or innocent as they claim. They let us choose to stay or go, though I think he was planning on us all falling for his diception. We no not of where the TA calls home but they said it was a system that has not been inthe republic for centuries if not millenia. Thank you council members and representatives, that is most of what I can remember at this time."

Glacian bowed and stepped back to be even with Alron again.

"Yes...maniac, the same that went missing 3 years ago on the day of the imperial defeat, the one I heard above Talus, has now made Reytha fall. The surface, where R2 took me, was indeed destroyed. Reythat was an important food source for us, and I think the TA tought that if they could not win the battle... make sure the republic can't use the planet anymore either. From space, it seemed as if the whole planet was destroyed by laserfire... Forests burned, cities too, like the Talus capital did before."

Yoda: But, that does not yet cover the fight above Tatooine, where our men are captured. Reports state that was a different force"

Fergus: "But who can it be jedi. Do you have any proof they are not the same, actually? It can be just different types of ships, you have no insurance there is a second force. Are you just trying to scare us with the idea?"

"No senator, we do not have that proof. However, it is cheaper and therefor commonly used by a faction to have an army concisting of a few different types of ships only, rather then many different classes... On the other hand, where the design of these ships above Reytha and Talus looked very...kaminan, the design of the Tatooine ships, as they looked on messages the admiral gave before his demise, looked more imperial...more..."

Yoda silenced by a certain disturbe in the force, something was not right in the senate...something...

Kari stood up to get a better took at the man that was now in the senate room.

Quilan Shan was the name everyone called Manic, but why would Manic send him here Master? Kari asked Master Alron because maybe he had a reason for him coming

"Jedi, get this man immidiatly!"

"I would not advice that, chancellor... It is a long fall if they miss the pod when jumping... besides I am sure the Teiravan alliance would not be amused if I would not return. They have more ships then those 3 you've seen, I can assure you that....way more. If I do not return at the time I am expected back, it is very lickely these ships fly to coruscant... tactically not the best move, as it costs many ships for little gain, but a good act out of revenge...

Regarding the fact master Shan wants a diplomatic meeting, and I am here to arrange that, I do not think it would be a wise decision to attack me and risk a war... Don't you agree, Yoda...Alron... Master Shan told me you had an unfortunate trip to the dark side, and afterwards the planet core.. I didn't expect to see you here, we tought you were dead... My my, feel that anger inside of you due to my words, do not unleash it, you might wage war upon the republic with that... or is that what you wanted?... Well senators, chancellor, jedi... do you agree on my proposition to let me talk, and you listen, so I can leave afterward again, or do you prefer to start a war? It wouldn't be the first time..."

Senator Rhiannon Kateera sat in her senate box, completely prepared to hear what this mysterious man had to say.
Who knows, he might have something usefull to say?
This was Rhia's first time on Coruscant let alone attending a meeting. She had truthfully not expected to hear such tragic news already. She looked over at her handmaiden who had already served another senator.
Is this normal?

No M'lady.

Her response was uninformative and it was not what Rhia wanted to hear. She once more directed her gaze toward the unusual man who had entered, curious as to what he had to say, and worried about whether or not any senators would be leaving the senate arena this day.

Glacian had heard this all before, delpomacy, not likely. Glacian stood up and said to this figure, "Solve this diplomatically? Why don't you tell that to the people of Talus and Reytha? I'm sure they would love to hear it from their graves, it should let them stop turn about. OR maybe what your claiming has just made them spin in the graves more. The TA only uses diplomacy when it has something to gain from the other party, as soo as it doesn't, and it can conviently do so, you destroy that thing, how is that diplomacy, I call that sadisict and genocidal."

"Tell maniac I will be there. I do not know which senators and jedi will choose to join me, but I am going, no matter who get along..."

"Good Alron, he will be glad to see he didn't kill you, I'm sure... he was quite sad about the fact there was no other way out then throwing you down that gap...but you didn't give him another choise...perhaps now you do"

"I might not recall what happened in there, but I am sure that I did not force him to throw me down, I am sure I did not attack him first.. and I am sure I would have allowed a more...civilized way out"

Tui's words angered Alron, like he had been angered before lately..all this stuff going on, and being forced to sit down and just watch it without being able to do anything, was just too much for him....but he could not let his anger out, he had to control himself... he could, he knew that....

Glacian stepped back and leaned over to Alron. "I want to go as well. I want to hear the TA's explination for all this, and maybe confront Master Shan with you about your fight."
