[b]Sep + Enalais[/b] The Jedi High Council sat in their seats in a horseshoe shape, the opening where the door was. Twelve masters sat in their seats, those who could not be there in person were relayed via holocomminications. First, a Zabrak spoke. He sat in the central arc of the horseshoe putting him in prominence. “Padawan Coltims, we are surprised it is you who comes before us.” Then in the customary and mystique way of the Jedi Council, another member of the council spoke. A female human, “However we expected as such. You have grave news to tell us, do you not?” An Ithorian at the side went next, this was to ensure the continual attention of the Jedi being addressed who had to often move to keep up with who was speaking. “What is it you have learned Padawan?” Lucina spoke firmly. “It appears that the sith have a plan for Mandalore, but worse of all masters is the fact that this sith lord had brought a reemerging Sith Empire with him. All of us on Abridon saw first hand his new sith empire.” Her voice was timid, she didn’t know how the council would react to this and she found herself wishing Master Rorworr was here to speak instead of herself. Several off the masters nodded at eachother, and a droid entered the room. “Send the intel with this droid, we shall have experts go over the data. However we ourselves have heard about troubling times on Mandalore in your absence. A rogue Jedi apparently killed most of a clan and left its leader alive as a message. We were going to speak to Master Rorwoorr about this as it could end up being your next mission.” That master spoke, another however took her turn. “In terms of the new Sith Empire, we do not believe that the Sith could have regained straight quickly enough to be off a major threat to the Republic. How do you not know this was not merely some remnant or apprentice declaring themselves ruler?” Lucina spoke up this time her voice betraying a bit of annoyance. “They were organized, they destroyed a republic fleet and killed two Jedi. They had many more men than any enclave i’ve ever dealt with, and one of them was quite powerful in the arts of battle meditation, to powerful to be an apprentice or a sith hiding within a remnant.” She gave the droid the intel she had collected off of the machines within the base looking to the masters for whatever their answer was to be. The masters all looked at eachother and nodded again. “We will attach some new Jedi to the task force-” He nodded to another Jedi who held a datapad that sent the names to Lucinas personal device. “We shall also wait to hear from Rorwoorr who we presume has went to the defence council with this information?” There was a bit off skepticism was in that last remark. Lucina nodded and looked at her personal device and spoke. “Master Rorwoorr is doing what he thinks is best for the jedi and the republic. And i’m sure he will be grateful for your support to us. By your leave masters.” She said looking to the others, looking to see if anyone had any other questions to ask. The masters all nodded. “Inform those in the temple of them joining your forces. We will deliberate and speak with the Chancellor and decide a course of action.” --- Rorwoorr first turned to the new Mandalorian, bowing his head and acknowledged what Kast had said. He turned to the other Mandalorian who had asked the question, speaking he trusted his protocol droid to translate for him. [You are here to be debriefed by the defence council and stand as witness to the decimation to the Republic Fleet, the forces on Abridon and what they did to you while in captivity.] He nodded to Kast and Reem. [After which we will confirm your identity and have you debriefed by Republic Intelligence and have you returned to Mandalore unless you are truly a member of the Task Force.] He turned his furred head towards the new Mandalorian this... Reem. [You are here as you know the political situation on Mandalore.] He handed over a commlink to the Mandalorian. [Use this to gain entry into the Jedi Temple, have the guard take you to my Padawan Lucina who no doubt will be either debriefing the council or gathering more Jedi to join us. The information we deciphered and what I have heard of events that have transpired something is going on on Mandalore that we cannot chose to ignore, as your home planet I am sure you do not want to see it stricken by war again. I give you my word that we bear no ill intent to you or your people, and merely to wish your people becoming enslaved.] He indicated to himself. [Something I myself experience, and do not want to see anywhere in the galaxy.] --- Crusade stood near the door, keeping character. "You have played your character well." He looked around the lavishly decorated office. "It will only escalate from here, as will your position within the Empire and the Republic. Though-" He chuckled slightly. "Soon they'll all be eating out of your hands. But I do see what tires you so much when you have to don this persona." There was a knock at the door, and an aide walked in. Ignoring Crusade, if only he knew. "Sorry to bother you M'Lady however Senator Vish from Kuat has called in ill. However she has asked that you take her place in an emergency meeting of the Defence Council."
