| If Tremaine thought that he was going at this without him, then he was wrong. Moments before he would leave Telos, Havoc would 'find' his way on the ship as a stow-away, hidding in a compartment. From there, the Jedi Knight would completely mask his force signature, making him invisible to any other Force user, and exercising discipline, would remain invisible from the average person. It was a long ride and with the ability of the Force, would make the ride somewhat enjoyable... but being crammed into a small compartment made Havoc angry. Even thought it was his own fault, Tremaine would still be blamed for this... somehow. As the ship would land at the destination, he'd wait till everyone was off the vessel before emerging from his hiding spot. The body guards that would arrive with Tremaine would notice Havoc, however would not do much as they were convinced by Havoc (with the Jedi Mind trick), that he had been on the entire ride. This made him smirk as he positioned at the very head of the ramp. The Jedi would cross his hands, waiting for Tremaine to return. "Think you could just leave me alone on Telos, did you... jerk..." Muttered the Jedi.

| Her dance with Senator Tu'rot had ended and after complimenting him on his dancing and asking a few small talk-esque questions about dancing on Acherin, she had smiled and reached out and patted him on the arm affectionately before turning and slowly sauntering back over to the crowd of Senators, only to have her eyes light up as she saw Senator Fowlkes of Telos IV enter with a lovely woman on his arm. Something about the woman caught Avadrie's eye immediately, a bright smile dancing on her face as she approached the pair.
"So splendid to meet you outside of the Senate," she said first to Tremaine, but her real intent was with Jalaila. Her gaze drifted down the woman's gown as she admired it,
"Your dress is beautiful. Oh! " As she took note the engagement ring on the woman's finger.
"And that is truly exquisite." She'd appear carefree, easily friendly as she gestured towards Jalaila's ring...and she hadn't even had a drink yet!

| Draken smiled furiously. "I used to take dancing lessons on Acherin all the time!" He proudly proclaimed as he walked over and grabbed a couple of drinks. One would go to Senator volFyr... and the other two would go to Draken. With two swift gulps, the liquids within the glasses were gone. "The burn!!!" He'd shout, indicating that he enjoyed the drink. Putting the two classes back onto the trey, he'd walk over. "Senator Fowlkes, Draken Tu'Rot, Senator AND President of Acherin... a great pleasure indeed!" Violently shaking the man's hand as he looked at his female accomplice. "Draken Ramon Senor Alberto Razor Julius Tu'Rot... at your service!" Grabbing her hand, he'd gently kiss it.

| Ryuun was slightly surprised to see Senator Fowlkes, whom he'd assumed was not coming. The woman who appeared with Fowlkes was not one that Ryuun recognized either, but he welcomed the female with a short bow and Fowlkes with a handshake, if the man accepted. "Senator Fowlkes, a pleasure to see you here. Who is this charming young woman you've arrived with? Senator Thanatos seemed to think you had gone missing."

| Domon knew Senator Fowlkes a tad better than he did the others, excluding Ryuun. "Senator Fowlkes, so good to see you!" He hailed the human, coming forward to shake the senator's hand and the hand of his female companion. "I hope you still intent to come by Sluis Van in the near future. We have much to talk about, I believe. Perhaps sometime in the next week or two, if your schedule allows?"

| A stewardess would indeed approach the pair about his concealed weapons. Apparently, they had a technology within the castle that allowed Stark's staff to scan any type of weapons. He had assured the lady that it was merely for self-defense. He could have refused, but then he'd make a big scene out of nothing and then later on the Empire would launch a meaningless investigation that could mean the end of his ultimate agenda. All that would be averted when the Senator simply handed over all of his weapons, so did his personal bodyguards. If something were to happen, he'd have to rely on hand-to-hand combat of which he learned in his military training and used it rather extensively during the Clone Wars.
After this misunderstanding had been cleared up, the pair moved on to the main floor. To his surprise, attention had immediately dawned upon him. He knew he had gotten along with most of the people in the Senate, but he never expected such a warm reception. The first person coming upon the pair were Senator volFyr of the Empress Teta. He had never met with the woman outside the Senate before. He nodded lightly toward her, "Pleasure to make your acquaintance." He would reach for her hand so he could kiss on it out of courtesy, before letting her mingle with Jalaila. Tremaine figured he would probably get separated from his fiancee for parts of the night, so he would let her take her hands off his arm. For someone in her position, it would be good for her to have friends in higher places.
That was the moment the seemingly deranged Senator walked up to him. Unlike this Senator, the Telosian's tone was rather calm. "Pleasure's all mine, Senator Tu'Rot." Taking the man's hands rather vigorously, he wondered if this is how people from Acherin typically greet. Tremaine had been on a lot of planets during the Clone Wars, but had never been to Acherin. He could have called the man by both titles, but it would be pointless and they knew each other by being in the Imperial Senate. Which meant calling him by an Imperial title and not a title of his homeworld. It was still interesting to see how far Senator Tu'Rot would fare in the Imperial Senate.
Moving on to Senator Ryuun, of which had approached him as well. Letting go of Tu'Rot's hand, moving his hand over to shake Ryuun's. "Nice to see you too, Senator Ryuun." He would smile slightly when the man from Druckenwell wanted to know about Jalaila. "This is Miss Kelrune. This is Senator Ryuun of Druckenwell." He would briefly introduce the lady to Lomen, though his fiancee might know who the guy is anyway. He'd tilt his head and peered a little bit to the left. Looking at Senator Thanatos and her Inquisitor husband, chuckling lightly. "Well, she's right most of the time. I'm always busy with a lot of stuffs, you know how it is."
Even though he saw a good friend of his in Senator Cerra, he'd let her be as she seemed to be preoccupied at the moment. The Telosian would approach her in due time. Lastly, someone that he felt better acquainted with came. Tremaine decided this was the right time to display that he did not care for Human High Culture that so many within the Empire adores, that he isn't afraid to be a friend of a non-human. "Senator Domon, good to see you here." He went ahead and shook the hand of the Slussi, "Of course, I plan on paying your homeworld a visit, like I have always intended. Things just grabbed ahold of my attention...you know how it is being a politician. I will make the trip to Sluis Van the top priority. I have a lot of things coming up, but not within the range of the next two weeks. I will be there for sure." He nodded lightly as a sign of confirmation, then he forget to add up one more detail for his friend. "Oh! I do not know if Senator Fitzgerald has contacted you, but he wanted to join me in visiting your homeworld. Is that acceptable?"

| Jalaila turned her topaz gaze towards Avadrie as she approached. She kept a tight grip on Tremaine's arm. "Thank you, Senator volFyr, it is kind of you to say." She responded in regards to her dress and of course the diamond that sparkled on her finger. Her attention was, unfortunately, torn from Ava to Tu'Rot as he kissed her hand.
"Senator, a pleasure to meet you." She kept her greeting to Draken Ramon Senor Alberto Razor Julius Tu'Rot (A name which she thought, to herself, was a bit excessive in nature) brief, especially since two others had approached. Inwardly, she wondered which name he preferred to be called by. She was partial to Julius, but who knew.
Lomen Ryuun was someone she had seen in senate often, so she knew his face, but that was the extent of it. After Tremaines brief introduction, she furthered it. "Jalaila Kelrune, former aide to Senator Tavira of Onderon." She said, giving away how she would have recognized all of them. The lady left it at that before she let herself turn back to Avadrie while Tremaine spoke to Domon about their trip to Sluis Van.
"Your dress is lovely too, Senator. Where did you have it made?" She questioned, making small talk.

| The Jedi in the landing bay, providing he stayed out of sight from the holocams mounted at various points on the roof, would be quite left alone; no servants or guards would be going about peeking through the ships. Stark, meanwhile, waited to see what Fowlkes would do as he made the rounds of greeting the senators within the room, and as Tu'Rot and Avadrie halted their dancing for the moment. "Jalaila Kelrune, a pleasure," Stark said, taking her hand as she came before him. "So an aide at one time? A prestigious career. One hopes you may continue to pursue it in the future."
Of course, Kelrune hadn't been formally introduced to him, but that had hardly stopped Stark. "I might add that you look stunning in that dress; absolutely stunning. And Senator Fowlkes! A pleasure to have the representative of Telos here among us tonight. Both of you, make yourselves at home, please."

| Senator Tu'Rot would down another drink before grinning a little bit. "Lord Stark, I don't like to be the one stabbing people, however we do not wish to waste anymore of your time!" He would comment, crossing his arms. "I'm sure this is a reason for assembling us all here on your grand homeworld?!" Speaking with emphasis.

| "Of course, of course, Senator Tu'Rot. Please, all of you, sit, and while the servers bring out our dinner, we will discuss my reasoning for bringing you here." Taking his seat at the head of the table, with all the Senators down either side in no particular order, for he was not playing favorites, Stark began to speak while in the background, the servers produced platter after platter of scrumptious foods and drinks from a number of worlds.
"Our galaxy is in dire need of a savior, so to speak. The Emperor, may he live forever, is the shield that we stay behind, for he keeps us safe, and by his manifest will in the forms of Moffs, governors and other bureaucrats, our planets are hale and hearty. Nonetheless, there have been times, events, in recent past that have been disregarded by the red tape, the unfortunate nature of sentient corruption and an astounding lack of common decency. Aeeq. Alurion. Chad. Numerous worlds devastated either by harsh necessity or by random chance, the result is the same: people suffer.
I ask you, good senators, why must they suffer if something can be done to alleviate this? Senator volFyr and I have been putting our heads together at the ground floor of a program called GalacticAid, a nonprofit organization that will reach out to any world in aid regardless of treaties, agreements or red tape to bypass such to provide aid and succor for the common man. It is this idea that I wish your backing on, Senators. I will need your help, at as little cost to you as possible, as I have agreed to pay the bill for this endeavor, but a number of issues would be solved if you would all be willing to aid me. Shall I continue?"

| The body of the Theta-class shuttle would prevent the camera from seeing Havoc. He was positioned within the ship at the foot of the ramp. Standing there, the Jedi grew very impatience at the entire thing. To make his point across, he'd call over one of the body guards that traveled here. Using the force to influence his mind, Havoc grinned. "You suddenly have the urge to go pee and poop right in the open..." Suddenly, the body guard quickly ran out into the open in clear view of the holocams and would begin to unload all over. The guard would also take his time releasing himself. Suddenly, the other body guard would approach, so it was his turn. "You want to make a crappy drawing of Telos, tie it to a stick, and stand next to your friend claiming this landing pad for the Telosian Empire... and you want to goose step too!" And in the flash of an eye, the body guard would to just that. Making a planet that said 'Telos' in the middle and tied it to a stick. Running outside, the guard would hold the flag as he started goose stepping in a routine back and forth saying, "We claim this for the Telosian Empire!" This made Havoc feel a little bit better... but he wasn't done. "The pilot..." He'd walk towards the cockpit to grab the pilot. Escorting him towards the ramp, he'd look the pilot in the eye. "You suddenly feel hot, and want to strip down... completely..." So Havoc would stand there as the pilot begun to take off everything. Once he was done, Havoc had the pilot do one more thing. "Your entire body is on fire! Roll Roll Roll!!!" Shouted Havoc as the pilot suddenly went nuts. Tripping down the ramp, he'd start crying bloody murder that his body was on fire, as he started rolling all over the place crying. While he did that, Havoc would attempt to put on the pilot's clothing and would place himself in the cockpit of the ship. There he would sit, using the rear-view camera to see the action going on. This didn't make Havoc smiled, but it helped pass the time.

| "Oh? It was made by a little known designer on Phoros, a world in my sector. Her name is Noele Khummersi. I can have her information sent to Senator Fowlke's office? Her work is truly to die for." She gushed on her favorite local designer, before President Tu'rot called the gathering to order and Alyn Stark moved to the head of the table as the Senators took their places and "Sheriff" Stark as she had nicknamed him began his speech.
She smiled as he mentioned her name, the GalacticAid proposition had passed unanimously in the Senate, and she was exited to begin working with alongside it to further the greater good..and her own aims.
She felt twinges, and she imagined that she could feel goosebumps forming on her skin as the ripples of someone using the Force nearby sent shivers up her spine. She wasn't entirely sure if that's what it was since she hadn't felt someone else use it since Madame Pencron, but maybe..or maybe she was imagining things.
"Please continue Mr. Stark, what exactly are you asking us for?"

| Draken would eat and drink as he listened to Lord Stark. As he mentioned the Empire, Draken would reply in a thunderous "Here here!" His love for the Empire was the cause of him for being over-charismatic when it came to the Empire. "So you are the one that designed GalacticAid! Marvelous!" He'd comment, raising a glass to him as well as Senator volFyr. "As long as this remains a designation that supports Imperial worlds as well as shows the Empire is the one true light in the galaxy, Acherin will support you, Lord Stark, as we will provide doctors as well as a hospital ship if the agreement goes through!" He'd return sitting, listening to the rest of the conversation.

| (( I hope nobody minds if I go ahead; with the Christmas season, I think the others can be free to post whenever, and I'll reply every 3-4 days until stuff gets back to the norm. ))
Stark paused in his answer as one of his shadowguards, the male with the long hair pulled back in a ponytail, flashed him a brief hand gesture, behind the backs of the Senators. A brief nod was returned and the man departed the room, leaving Stark with his audience. Betraying no sign of the slight apprenhension that came over him, Stark took a sip of his ale to calm his nerves, then continued with a smile on his face. "You are too kind, Senator Tu'Rot. I was merely the humble fashioner. Senator volFyr refined and finalized the idea, as well as presented it to the Senate. If she is the mother, than I am simply the late-in-coming father.
"Your offer of a hospital vessel is most kind, Senator Tu'Rot, and on behalf of GalacticAid, I will accept it gladly. Now, as Senator volFyr has asked, we come to what I have brought you here to ask you for. What I am about to say may be indeed, asking a lot, but were I not prepared to pay well for what I ask, for the sake of GalacticAid, then I would not ask it. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to rapid response in aiding as many planets as we can, GalacticAid will require a large amount of planetary space, more than can be easily placed on a single world, and certainly necessitating more freedom than a single world can offer. To this end, it has been calculated out that any planet which can spare ten square miles of its surface, or an equal equivalent for those worlds largely ecumenopolis-type, in either bare land or warehouses, will be paid handsomely for this initial use of this land and a too-be-determined annual fee for five years.
"These tracts of land will act as storage space, aid centers, minor starports for aid shuttles and relief haulers, as well as host a number of prefabricated homes for those who have been driven out. The purpose, you see, is to be able to respond as quickly as possible to any system and any sector within the galaxy. Naturally, every sector is a large goal to fill, and realistically speaking, I would wish to begin with a number of test systems, if you will. The systems in which each of you reside, to be specific."
---
Gadrid Morthol moved from the dining room through the halls of Castle Stark with a fluid grace. There had been no mistaking the feel of Force energy, small in some ways, but a small pulse that happened four times. That was no coincidence. Morthol's own Force signature was quashed, hidden by the rare talents and training he'd been lucky enough to inherit, passed down over some time. Along the way, he was joined by two others of the 'guard: the lithe, graceful Hapan Irlilia Dannen, and the constantly taciturn Mandalorian, Tarin Mako. Emerging after a turbolift journey and passing through several security checkpoints, Morthol and the pair with him emerged in the glassed-in control room that overlooked the docking bay to see the backs of a number of control room staff peering down into the bay itself, murmuring to one another.
"Status report."
Almost as one, the six men whipped about guiltily and the shift overseer stepped forward. "Ah, slight odd situation, Mr. Morthol. There's an issue with the Telosian shuttle and its guards. One has defecated for no reason in the open and one of the others is stating he claims the landing pad for the Telosian Empire. The last, well..." The last was self explanatory as the third man rolled about below, screaming about being on fire. "We weren't quite sure how to handle this one; Lord Stark left orders not to be disturbed and-"
"You were right not to disturb him," Morthol cut in smoothly. Laying a friendly hand on the man's shoulder and giving an encouraging glance, he gestured with his free hand to the bay below. "Dispatch one of the security teams to gently round up our Telosian friends and place them in the storage area just off the landing pad. I'm sure one of the medical droids can sort out what's wrong with them. The toxin screens show no sign of any known gases? Good." As the shift overseer bent to the comm to communicate with the security team, Morthol leaned in close to Mako. "Get a pair of the Zephyr units down here. Safety for the Lord Stark and his guests is our priority, after all."
Still watching from the control room a moment longer, Morthol remained long enough to see the five-man security detail enter the bay, moving towards the Telosians cautiously, for the men seemed deranged. Then, Morthol and his compatriots slipped out and down towards the bay with all haste.

| The Senator would escort Jalaila to a pair of chairs nearby, and listen in to everyone's comments. Indeed, Senator volFyr's proposal to establish GalacticAid had passed in the Senate. In fact, he was among those who voted in favor. Tremaine was also wondering how long it would take for Senator Tu'Rot to finally wear down on his high-flying energy. Was he on meth? Probably not. But the fact that he continued to raise his tone makes him wonder if the man will ever tone down. The Telosian shook his head and returned his attention toward Lord Stark. "Telos IV will support this. I also have a few non-profit organizations that would more than likely be willing to help out. The Telosian government can provide the shuttles and volunteer pilots that would ferry the supplies throughout the galaxy, in addition to sending doctors. Telos IV is a suitable location, it has a lot of plains that could put this to a good use. We welcome your dialogue."
The Senator simply gave Lord Stark an answer before going back to silence and being curious about what everyone would have to say.
