| Ja’nar been missing from the senate chambers in the last few months, ever since Ordan, the twit, had brought a motion forward to censure her. She found it all to be a joke, but there had been whispers that she had left for good, but those were only whispers, rumors spread by those who wished for her to be gone. Few knew the reason for her leaving, and none of them had been in the Imperial Senate. Ja’nar had never truly been close to anyone on Coruscant, the one person who she had began to open up to, had since moved on and she was struggling with a heart the still ached for him and a constant reminder of how much he had and still meant to her.
The months had been long. Ja’nar had returned home to Garos only to be pulled in a hundred different directions at once. Her people demand too much from her at times. Her days had been filled with meeting after meeting. Her advisors wanted to speak to her about the senate, about what was happening, if she felt like it was still a place that Garos wanted to be. They didn’t have a choice in that matter however. Either they were part of the Empire and moderately safe or they weren’t and were made an enemy of the Empire. They all understood this, but Ja’nar seemed to be the only one to remember it. It was better to put up with the politicians and laws that the people of Garos did not agree with than to invite war upon the planet. To lose lives for something so petty. So she would continue to play the game, at least that was what they had agreed on at that time.
It was only a month ago that Ja’nar had disappeared completely from the face of the galaxy it seemed. Appearances that Ja’nar had always loved to do were canceled and no one could get in contact with her. Milliardo and her advisors ran the planet but had left their box in the senate empty except for a lone aide taking notes.
But none of that mattered as Ja’nar wandered into the Imperial Senate complex on Coruscant. She was however was not her normal self, it was as if the weight of the galaxy was bearing down on her as she moved slowly towards a small café within the building for a drink. Ja’nar was in fact wearing a shimmering gown of gold, her soft chocolate hair was down in soft waves that rested upon her bare shoulders, bare shoulders that were discolored, black and blue showing on the once pristine ivory skin. The blotches of blue and black traveled down her shoulders and arms, her right hand was actually wrapped carefully in a clean white bandage. She saw a few that knew her, that saw her as an ally, a friend even within the senate, Ja’nar would nod to them, flashing them a little smile, but it was the typical Ja’nar. No, her face was marred by a few deep cuts on her cheek, that were still healing, but her eyes. Her eyes told it all. She was exhausted. The dark rings that she would have tried to hide months ago were shining brightly and the sparkle was down from her dark brown orbs. They were sad, as if she had or was going to lose something very dear to her. But what did it matter? No one in the senate would mind if she was gone for good, and well, honestly Ja’nar wished that her people would find a better replacement for her.
Ja’nar would order a simple cup of hot chocolate, with extra chocolate, It was her usual drink and tended to bring her spirits up. Though it rarely worked these days. She would move over to an empty table on the far side that was near the main walkway so she could watch the other senators scurry about. Though as she watched them move back and forth, pretending they were so important, she could not help but allow a little smile to sneak up on her. If only they saw the bigger picture, of what was really happening to the galaxy.

| Before embarking for Sluis Van to meet with Senator Domon about several issues, and hopefully Senator Fitzgerald would join him, he decided to make a brief stop on Coruscant to pick some important stuffs up from his office. Those files were rather important to use in relations to one of Tremaine's non-profit organizations that promotes equality of the non-humans within this galaxy. Of which is vital to the meeting with Senator Domon. The Senator also left his girlfriend at his own apartment with a bodyguard assigned to protect and watch over her, after some length of comforting her for the duration of the trip in hyperspace.
He had just walked into the building, and it had appears that he had arrived during the after hours. Which was fine with him, not as many politicians would be around. That was a good thing. He wasn't in a mood to see people like the O-Heads. That was what a lot of people called Senators Oswaldt, Ordan, and Oriel these days. However, he maintained the light nodding when he saw a few of the like-minded Senators that could serve as his allies within the Senate. They did not have strong voices, strong enough to stand up for themselves. Tremaine could understand why, not many were willing to risk having themselves be possible targets of possible treason. The Empire seems to throw that crime around so freely these days.
While continuously walking for a turbolift to take him to his office, he spotted a good friend of his. It was Senator Cerra. He hadn't seen her in a while, and she had looked a little different. The Telosian would be able to notice that Ja'nar had gone through a lot. He decided to be a good friend, and slowly headed for the battered Senator. entering into a small cafe. Senator Fowlkes continued to walk until he stopped in front of Ja'nar, "Hello, mind if I sit down?"

| Ja’nar happened to be lost in thought as she sipped her hot chocolate, her left hand shaking the cup a bit as she brought it to her lips. Her hand was getting stronger and stronger each day, but it was not her dominate hand, so it was truly getting a work out since her accident, if one could call it that. Though she was brought out of her trance like state but Tremaine’s voice, a small smile touching her lips as she looked up to him and nodded her head “Not at all, it has been a while hasn’t it?” she spoke softly to him as she set her cup down on the table. She remembered the last time she saw him, it was on Garos when he had come for a tour. It had been a nice visit full of lovely distractions, at least for a little while, but the galaxy always seemed to catch up with Ja’nar in one way or another.

| Indeed, the time spent with Ja'nar on Garos IV was rather nice. Full of distractions, but the kind he doesn't mind having. She and Tremaine were like-minded on political stance. Perhaps that's why they get along well. Maybe that's why the Queen/Senator gets along with him and not a whole lot of other politicians. However, the time spent with her on Garos IV felt like it was ages ago. A lot had happened since then. One thing that remained, their friendship. He would put on a smile out of courtesy for the lady. "Thank you."
The Telosian pulled a chair and sat across the table from the Garosian. "Yeah, I haven't really seen you since I visited your homeworld. Is everything okay?" He made it obvious that he had noticed all the beating she took. Tremaine was the type of person that make his intentions well-known, except for one thing. The fact that he was the secret leader of a well-organized rebellion.

| Ja’nar would only smile and nod to his question, if everything was alright. “One could say that, after I refused to apologize to that poor excuse of a man, Ordan, and was censured for it, I went home.” She would smile a bit “The Nobles and my Advisors agreed I did the right thing, but then I had to take care of some small issues that had arose on Garos.” She would take another sip of her hot chocolate. They had gotten along so well because Ja’nar saw an ally in him. Someone who thought in similar lines of logic as she did. “Then some how I found myself on Tatoonie, how I have no clue what so ever” What a lie that was, she knew exactly how she got onto the planet and why she had gone there. She had been hunting out there in the desert, combing it for information on her beloved uncle. Apparently she had gotten some very good information and had gotten to close to where he was actually hiding at. She did not touch on how she got so beaten up, there was no really good way of lying about it, no good cover-up story that was believable.

| A waitress would come along and was about to ask if he wanted anything when the Telosian quickly interrupted her. He waved her off as a sign that he didn't want anything, so the lady disappeared. Despite how much Tremaine gets along with Ja'nar, and that they were really close at one point during his visit to her homeworld, he had always felt she was always holding something back from him. As if she didn't want anyone to know more about her personal life. Her bruises and all that would indicate to the Senator that there was more than she would let on. However, he decided not to press the issue.
Perhaps they weren't close enough. Perhaps she didn't want to say anything in public. She probably simply just didn't want to tell him. Anyhow, she made it sound like she was kidnapped. He wrapped his fingers together, and leaned a little bit. "Well, is there anything I can do for you?"

| Ja’nar was always guarded, very few people ever truly broken down the walls she built around herself, and those who had, were surprised at what they found within them. Not that any of the that mattered anymore. Artemis would never feel the same towards her, and she could never share with him that her son was also his. As for Tremaine, that was a completely different story. She was a passionate woman who attempted to keep those passions bottled up inside. At times it got to be too much for her, Tremaine had been a great partner, probably one of the few partners she could have gotten along with for awhile, but it was better this way, as just friends.
Ja’nar would smile as he asked if there was anything he could do for her, she would allow her eyes to meet with his, “Well Tremaine, there is always something you could do for me. “ She would just smile again, it was more of a smirk than a smile, as she took another sip of her hot chocolate, “It was a speeder accident” she said softly, knowing he was secretly wondering about the cuts and bruises.

| The Telosian simply raised his eyebrows, wondering what she meant by that remark. It was possible she needed his help working on something related to the Senate. It would make sense. Aside from the brief fling on Garos IV, everything has been political between the pair. "What is it that you want from me then?"

| Ja’nar would place her empty mug of hot chocolate down onto the table top, throwing down a credit chip next to it as she pushed herself up to her feet, she would just smile to him, extending her hand to him, “Oh there are a few things I want from you dear one, and none of them are proper to speak of in such a public place, lets retire to somewhere a bit more secluded.”

| The Senator immediately recognized the need for privacy, either that or she just needed to leave and be somewhere else. His confirmation received a moment later when she extended her hand to him and spoke of the need for privacy. He chuckled lightly, "Oh, I don't know if there are really any place on Imperial Center that has a complete privacy but okay." He rose from his chair, and pushed it against the table before gently placing his hand against hers in order for her to grab ahold of it. "Lead the way, Ja'nar."

| Ja’nar would gently take hold of his hand and lead him up to the floor with Garos IV’s offices. She would just smile to him the whole time, it had been awhile and well, she was getting antsy for some action once more. “You are right, there really is no place that is completely private but we will make do with what privacy we think we have.” She would unlock the door to the semi abandoned offices, making her way in the darkness to her office door, pushing it open as she flicks on a row of lights, she would pull him inside and close the doors, “Things are always changing are they not? People come and go from our lives and things are never constant.” She let go of his hand and went towards the wall of windows that over looked Coruscant. “Not even the names of planets stay constant. The whole galaxy is in a state of flux.”

| The Senator would be puzzled to why she had been smiling to him the whole time. She had to be up to something. He quickly dismissed the notion that she would get him in trouble, because he trust her enough not to do that to him. Only time would give him answer. As it had come some time later, when they reached the floor where Ja'nar's office resides. Eventually, they would reach the very same office when she utter the words that would only confirm his beliefs in limited privacy on Coruscant.
Immediately, the lights came on just as his good friend would drag him into the office. When she had let go of his hands and went to stand by the windows, he was beginning to think she was paranoid. But he knew the lady was mentally stable, so he crossed his arms and watched the beautiful lady closely. Tremaine can only nod in agreement in regards to the latest thing she had spoken of. "Yes, change is normal. Although, changes does go faster than usual the past decade. Why are you bringing this up?"

| Ja’nar would not turn to face him, instead her eyes were fixed on some distant point. “The galaxy is no longer safe for people like me or you for that matter Tremaine, we are hiding who we truly are in plain sight. They haven’t noticed yet because they have not begun to look yet.” She would let out a sigh, “Secrets, we all have them and soon, soon they will all be out on the table for all to see, and all we can do is run and hide Tremaine.” She would turn to him “We will scatter to the far reaches of the galaxy and hide, forget who we were, who we are, and just live, live lives that are not ours, but stolen for us.” She would shake her head and turn back to the window “We are not safe.”

| The Senator maintained his arms crossed, as he listen in to Ja'nar's beautiful and meaningful words. It had echoed inside his head. She was right. There is no such thing as complete privacy in the Empire. The Imperials will stop at nothing to dig up dark secrets within every single sentient being. He had begun to tensed up a little bit. However, a song would play in his head. It was the only song that made him relaxed no matter what. The song was "No Worries" in Huttese. He got the song from the movie dubbed "Firecat King."
Tremaine smiled slightly and would casually walk over to stand in front of the lady. "Oh, they have looked alright. Some people are good at covering their tracks. Whatever my secrets are, I will do what millions of sentient beings fear doing. That is to fight for my secrets. I am a soldier. It is in me to fight for what I believe in. They may eventually force us to flee, but they will not force us to forget who we all really are." He had hoped that his words would echo wihin her mind as well.
"Now, do tell, what kind of secrets does a beautiful Queen fear being discovered?"

| Ja’nar would look up to him, worry etched into her dark brown eyes, “Far too many to speak of, the largest surrounding my son, Remus.” She spoke softly. No one knew who the boy’s father was and she wanted to keep it that way until she died. Now would that happen? No, too many people were poking around, it was bound to come out, and come out soon. “A dark past covered up, records changed, holos destroyed, people killed or sent off into exile to keep quiet.”
