“Are you ready for your trip, Senator?” Tosh Paloni asks as Serra Eclipse makes her way to the boarding ramp of the star cruiser that is to take her to Rodia.
“Yes Captain Paloni, the sooner we get this over with the sooner I can—see about so, personal business.” Serra replies.
She still had not completely recovered from the recent news that her parents might still be alive, and though every fiber of her being wants her to forgo the mission to Rodia, she knows that it is too important to the Republic, and if the roles had been reversed, her parents would see that there mission is complete before they went looking for her. Though it breaks her heart, she understands that this is the responsibility of a senator. So she would go to Rodia and have her meeting with Navik Roosh. She would convince Rodia to stay the course with the Republic, and then she would go to Falucia to find her parents.
As Serra steps into the cruiser, she is immediately greeted with an enthusiastic growl from Barthon, her Wookiee friend who has been a companion of hers since they were children. The large, dark furred wookiee had been at her side since she was a child of 12, and he had always been very protective of her, which was partially why her father had asked Barthon to watch over her if anything should ever happen to him, a task which Barthon had happily accepted.
“I know Barthon. The Vice Chair wishes to ensure that we stay on task for our mission. Otherwise he wouldn’t be so eager to provide us with babysitters.” Serra jokes as she embraces the Wookiee.
“I’m glad that they allowed you to join me.” Barthon growled, almost as if to say “Let’s see them try to stop me.” Serra chuckles as she is suddenly aware of someone else’s presence in the cruier’s cabin with them.
“Ah, Commander Manar. It is good to see you. Though, I do believe that sending someone with your resume for a simple meet and greet is a bit of overkill.”
