| Lord Gilbert Beckett was as good as his word and had organised for a speeder car to come and pick up Mrs Kuriyoshi from the gilded cage her husband had built around her. In the car were a pair of bodyguards, carefully chosen as they were also paid up COMPNOR members, it was to be hoped that the Cronese Mandate would be less likely to order their murder in light of this status, but truly Zarcaine's madness knew few limits.
The speeder was a reliable and inexpensive V-35 Courier but the underside, frame and panels of the hull had been reinforced to make it rather more adept at providing protection than it would otherwise be (without the expense of a purpose built speeder). The people inside the speeder all wore their COMPNOR and CJP party badges proudly on their suits, one a professional looking woman, and the other a rather burly man.
As they reached the house the speeder would cool it's engines, the men aboard waiting for an approach and wary of an ambush...

| Mrs. Kuriyoshi had spent the morning preparing for her meeting that afternoon, and she spent a good deal of time in the green yard playing with her puppy whom she had named Finn. He was a feisty puppy and liked to play, and even as she was getting ready, he would latch onto the hem of her dress and start to pull to try and persuade her to go back outside with him. "Silly thing...." She smiled and picked the pup up and cradled him against her as she went downstairs.
"Domnhail!" She called out for her maid, who appeared post haste. "My coat please? I am going out for a while." She said kindly as she switched Finn to her other arm. He was trying to get at one of her dangling earrings now, and eventually gave up and tried to lick her cheek. The maid returned in a few moments with her coat and helped Amneris into it.
In all honesty, she felt like she was doing the right thing. She felt like she was going to be helping by meeting with Lord Gilbert. Maybe it was a chance to smooth things over and iron out the misunderstandings between the two parties. She was the most neutral person that there was. Amneris handed the now whining pup to Domnhail before she went outside to meet the waiting speeders.

| The lady party official opened the door and allowed Mrs Kuriyoshi to climb in. She then would climb into the speeder after her as it slid back onto the road towards the capital. She turned to Amneris and smiled, passing over a data tablet. "Hello Miss Kuriyoshi, I trust you are well today? On this data pad there's a release form which states you are leaving your husband's home of your own free will and don't want to be dragged back with him, after the Oriel incident we thought it would be prudent to take precautions."
As the speeder continued on the road the woman would speak again "Now, apologies for the formality, but welcome. I am Yaim Att, Junior Shadow Secretary of Finance for the Cronese Justice Party. We're going to go to party HQ in the capital and you have a meeting scheduled there with Gilbert. I trust no danger was involved in leaving your home?"

| Amneris looked at the woman hesitantly when she slid her the datapad, and of course she took the time to read it over. "Oh...it is very nice to meet you." She gave the woman a small smile before she used the stylus and signed her name where indicated. "Just for the record, he did not drag me anywhere. I am sure that you are aware that my father is very ill and he simply came to get me to take me there." She tried to cover for him.
She was a little sad that the meeting with Mr. Oriel had not actually happened. "Have you spoken to Senator Oriel?" She queried as she handed the datapad back to the woman.

| The lady put the document to one side and nodded. "We haven't been in contact with Senator Oriel, although I gather he left a ship in your name at a local storage facility. We thought it would not be expedient to be in direct conversation with Robeir's enemies in the Senate for fear of being branded a foreign intervention." she looked out of the window.
"The Government of Robeir XXII has become increasingly deranged. They're currently opposing in the Senate a motion to protect our human rights, it speaks of an intention to take action against the people. His son has come back and the media is portraying him as a warrior, I only worry who he plans to unleash the young man on" said Yaim as the speeder glided towards the CJP headquarters in downtown Chandaar.
As they reached the building, a forcefield was snapped around the car and the door, meaning they could both climb from the car without risking sniper's rounds. It was a dangerous situation and many feared Robeir's paramilitaries would attempt further action after the CJP. "Senator Oriel attempted to contact the Cronese people directly today, Robeir has been trying to portray him as an enemy of the people and attempted to edit his transmission. It failed of course but if his Government is now censoring the words of Imperial diplomats, we are getting into dangerous territory." she said before opening the door and gesturing for Amneris to climb out, Yaim climbed out her side with the bodyguard and they moved into the CJP HQ.

| "He did?" She questioned, baffled as to why he had done these things. Idly, as the speeder glided on without incident, she toyed with a red jewel that hung around her neck. Once they had arrived, she stepped from the vehicle with some air of confidence, even though she had no idea of the protection in place. It never occurred to her that sim ne would remotely want to hurt her, despite whom she was married to or her other relations.
"I hate to see the people suffer, Miss. That is why I am here. I am hoping that we can work together for the good of everyone involved." Of course she was being sincere. At that point, she would let the lady lead her wherever the meeting would be taking place.
"Thank you, by the way, for your kindness in all of this. "

| Yaim nodded to Amneris "It's no problem I am truly charmed to meet you" as they approached the door.
Gilbert was there to welcome Amneris personally once inside, offering his hand for her to shake as she entered the pleasing marble hallway, richly illuminated with candle effect lumens. "Welcome to the home of the Cronese Justice Party Mrs Kuriyashi, I am Lord Gilbert Beckett. Most charmed to meet such a lovely and exquisite rose such as yourself, even if a gnarled old oak like me must relinquish courting rights to the young!"
He lead her in to a comfortable set of armchairs "I gather your husband is not well, rumours of his flaccidity have circulated around Chandaar for some weeks, I trust he is recovering his mental faculties. Many veterans got traumatised by war, it does not suit all men well, no indeed it does not." he poured himself a cup of tea and left it to brew.
"So, if I might ask, what would you like to talk about my dear?"

| Immediately she was flattered and charmed by the older gentleman, something that had never happened, seeing as how she rarely got out or met people. "Thank you, Lord Beckett. This place is very nice, comfortable." She said quietly in return. There was a bit of nervousness setting in, but she settled easily into one of the chairs he had taken her to once she removed her coat.
Her fingertips found the pendant that laid at the hollow of her throat and she toyed with it out of nervous habit. "He is fine. The rumors are decidedly that, rumors. I believe that he simply wanted a break from the trials and tribulations of being a senator." She was not really sure, however, as he rarely told her things like that, nor did she expect him to.
"I was wondering, Lord Beckett, if some sort of a compromise could be reached. I have, despite protest, been following Mr. Goodchild's uh...progress in the senate. I know that your party is opposed to him and Robier...and to be honest, they frighten me to a point as well. But so do the extremes that I have heard that the CJP can do as well. I am very much concerned about violence erupting and innocent citizens being harmed." Amneris paused and dropped her hand into her lap. The jewel around her neck was pulsating softly against her milky skin.
"I have never dabbled in politics, but I was wondering what, if anything, there is that I can do to help prevent that and do what is best for the people here." It would have been very obvious that she was distressed about the situation, among other things that were weighing on her mind.

| "I do not blame him, the Senate can be a rough and tumble place from what I am told". He sipped his tea thoughfully. "I don't think the CJP ever goes to extremes, we are a moderate party with moderate goals, seeing the Cronese people bettered. Look at Robeir's buying up of Deralian debt with the intention of taking over Deralia - what interest do we have in Deralia? I worry we may see more of these pointless escapades.. and look at the money wasted, tens of millions of Cronese credits to speculate on Deralian debt!"
He shook his head "But we would never call for any actions which risked lives. We want the lives of the Cronese to be made better, we would never call for dangerous actions." he noted her playing with the jewel "That's a lovely jewel you have there, and of curious manufacture, where did you purchase it if I might ask?"
Gilbert noted her distress, but was not sure what to say further.

| She looked at him thoughtfully as he spoke of the Derailian debt situation. A small sigh escaped her lips and she relaxed in the chair. "I would have used that money to build and upgrade schools and orphanages." Amneris loves children and she felt so badly for those displaced. But it was not her place to say anything about it to anyone.
When he mentioned the jewel, she dropped her hand into her lap. "It was a gift...from a friend. I believe it was mined on Vjun. " She said before she smiled to him. "Senator Oriel, actually." She cleared her throat and shifted in her seat.
" So, tell me what you think I can do to help Lord Beckett."Added (02 Feb 2012, 8:43 AM)
---------------------------------------------
A while later, after a nice chat, Amneris ' comm rang. It was Domnhail, her maid, calling to check on her. Of course with everything that was going on, the long time friend was naturally concerned for her well being.
"Of course, I will be right out Domnhail. You have Finn? And my luggage. Perfect." She hung up and looked to Lord Beckett for a moment.
"So sorry, Lord Beckett, but I need to go. Thank you for at least taking the time to meet with me. You have my number." And with that, she left and joined Domnhail for the next bit of travelling, this time off planet, that she would be doing.

| "May I apologise" he said touching his earpiece. "I have just heard most distressing news. There may be a war brewing in the Mandate. I should also return to my duties. If there is any service I might grant you, then I will do so." he nodded with a smile to her.
