| ((OOC Note: This has taken place a week after Tremaine departed Dantooine with the help of rebels there.))
A YT-1300 light freighter would emerge out of hyperspace. Indeed, Tremaine had finally gotten off Dantooine but he had changed transports midway through hyperspace travel just in case someone was following. The Telosian had a different appearance. Now, he would look like a native of Dantooine. However, the I&D signature registered would believe him to be a pilot transporting goods between Dantooine and Cronese Mandate. The light freigher was allowed to land without a hitch. Landing onto the landing bay number five, he would change from Dantooine freighter captain into the appearance of a mercenary. The Telosian had a beard, as well as moustache and goatee in order to make recognizing him difficult, a shaggy hair. He wore a leather jacket with a white t-shirt as well as a blue jeans. A D18 blaster pistol was holstered away at the left side of his waistline. Lastly, he would speak a Corellian accent.
This is going to shock Amneris at the look of his appearance. Given everything he went through, hopefully she'd at least be considerate. Tremaine would wander aimlessly along the streets as if he was a down-on-the-luck merc looking for side jobs to make the ends meet. He actually was wandering toward the personal estate of Amneris. Once he got to the gate, he'd press a button that would be a part of the comlink system throughout the estates (I assume Zarc installed a such thing). "I'm here to discuss the matters of.Cronese Mandate with Lady Kuriyoshi."

| Domnhail, Amneris' faithful handmaiden, answered the door when Tremaine came to her family estate. Yes, there had been a comm, but she bypassed it as she had been told by her lady that a guest was coming. The maid was taken back by the mans appearance and didn't recognize him at all. "She will be down in a moment if you will have a seat in the parlor. Can I get you anything?" Truth be told, Amneris had arranged for lunch to be prepared, but if the Telosian wanted a drink, she would be happy to get it. She would show him to the parlor and make her leave quickly.
Not long after, Amneris came in through a different entrance. "You wanted to see me, though I wonder why. I doubt that here is much I am able to do, Mr...." Amneris trailed off since she didn't know the mans name and didn't recognize him as Tremaine Fowlkes, whom she had met once before. "I've had lunch prepared if you're hungry." She offered politely before she gave I'm a smile. "Or did you just want to discuss your....issue with my home?"

| Tremaine grinned slightly when the maid didn't recognize him. That meant his slightly altered appearance had worked. The Telosian would follow Domnhail into the parlor. "Don't tempt me." Tremaine winked at the maid, he was certainly behaving unlike that of a Senator. Indeed, it had been a while since he had left the Senate Rotunda. It didn't help when he couldn't break his habits and traits as a soldier. He spoke that out loud when he had seen all the alcoholic beverages. "Sorry, I don't drink unless there's something worth drinking to." The rebel told the maid as she left.
The Telosian would wait for Amneris to show up, and when she did, she didn't recognize the man. He shook his head slightly. "How about a bit of both?" Referring to discussing the issues of Cronese Mandate. "There's more in you than being a simple housewives, you know." Amneris is likely to be puzzled by that question. Then Tremaine would show his true colors, switching from the fake Corellian accent to Telosian accent he had utilized since he was born. That should tip her off a little bit. "Hmm...I was once in the Senate and upon my apparently demise...I guess I jumped off the edge after humping a prostitute."
The Telosian rebel would stop speaking, waiting to see how Amneris would react.

| Amneris listened to him closely, but never registered an emotion that he would be able to notice. "Mr. Fowlkes." She said as she took a few steps closer. "There are a good deal many people who would be relieved to know you are alive. Your friends, perhaps?" She said as she stopped moving. "Your people too." Amneris took in his appearance briefly and then smiled only slightly. "There must be a reason for this. Please, sit. We will discuss it over some lunch." She gestured to the small luncheon table that was set up. Moments later, as she sat, Domnhail would push lunch out on a tray.
"It is hard to be a housewife, Mr. Fowlkes, when you are no longer a wife. So, what is it that I can try and do for you?"

| Tremaine chuckled, "Everything is not what it seems to be." He raised his eyebrows at Amneris, "You probably won't like the truth but I will say it anyway." The Telosian walked over to sit down across from the lady. "The truth is, my friends are still in the Senate, having no idea I was alive. Only Jalaila had, and I lost her." Tremaine would let out a light sigh before speaking once again, "She was the one that tried to turn me in to an Inquisitor. Amneris, I am a rebel." This might be hard for her, "In fact, I lead a rebellion by the name of Libs. My men and women wage war against the Empire across the galaxy in hopes of freedom and democracy one day."
The Telosian grinned once more, "That is why I left the Senate. I was about to be discovered."

| Amneris considered his words carefully, nodding as he spoke about Jalaila. "That is certainly a harsh betrayal. I firmly believe in karma." She mentioned quietly as she stirred a bit of seasoning into the bowl of soup Domnhail had set down in front of her. "Sometimes though, things happen for a reason. In her defense, she must have done it for a reason. Either way, I am sorry."
The woman took in the remainder of his words in silence as she contemplated. "What do you want from me, Tremaine? Lets he straightforward, you and I?"

| Tremaine simply nodded at Amneris' response regarding his situation. Then he went ahead and spoke, sitting straight up. "I'm sure you are aware of how the current administration of the Cronese Mandate is being run. It's bad enough the Empire runs an iron fist in the galaxy, you don't need your planetary government clamping down on a lot of things." Flagg's Casino was one example, among many. "Don't you think it's time for a change? Time to bring democracy and freedom back to the galaxy? We can start that here."
The Telosian would lean on the table a little bit. "I believe you can influence enough people to start a peaceful protest march toward the capital. What do you say?"

| Amneris wasn't ignoring the Telosian, she was simply focusing on her soup as she listened. Her expression was still neutral and she was unsure as to what she could and would do. "I am not sure that I would be able to influence many. I am not a powerful person at all so I am not sure why you came to me. Since Zarc disappeared, I've just been....well....me. He was the one with influence."
It was obvious that she did not have any confidence in herself or her abilities. Zarc really had been the one to take care of her and everything else, she simply ran the household as a wife. But, that was not her anymore. "If you're leading a rebellion, why are you here? Why does this matter to you?" She laid her spoon down and gave him her full attention.

| "You don't have to be a powerful person to make a lot of changes. Your job doesn't describe you. I think you have more inside you than you have let on. You've been around Zarc long enough. I'm sure you can become a leader. Besides, they're going to follow you because you oppose his like-minded government." Referring to the current administration for the Mandate, he hoped he was right.
"Your people need a better future. You don't want to be ruled by fear forever, do you? Besides, it would sound much better coming from you than from me. I wasn't raised here."

| "I ask again...why does this matter to you?" She asked quietly as Domnhail brought them the main dish for their lunch. He seemed, without even really knowing her, to know and have faith in her ability to do this. She didn't have faith in herself and was pretty sure that no one would follow her lead at all. Why should they?
Amneris let out a low sigh and picked at her lunch some. "I am also curious why you came to me specifically. Surely there are others, I know there are, that could do what you need with no problems or hesitation."

| "Because I know you surely care about the people more than anyone else does. They need someone to stand up to the oppressive Empire and controlling Mandate government. Besides, out of everyone else, what do you have to lose?" Tremaine would simply ask the question, to see whether she truly cared about her own people or not.

| Amneris thought his words over for several moments before she spoke again. "You look much better without the beard. No offense." It wasn't that she was disregarding what he was asking her, but rather she was thinking about it before she gave an answer.
Finally, Amneris cleared her throat. " I want you to know at you're safe here, first of all. And if you want me to do this, I cannot do it alone. I would not even know where to begin "

| Tremaine laughed out loud for a moment, "Yeah, I know. It's itchy all the time. Even now. I was using this as a disguise to avoid the Empire for the time being." The Telosian cleared his throat for a moment, looking into Amneris' eyes. "Now that I'm back into action, I'm gonna shave."
Tremaine nodded at the lady, she was right. With all the viewing of former Senator Kuriyoshi's politics, nothing will truly help unless she actually steps out there. "That's why you have me. I'm here to help, don't worry. I'll be spending as much time helping you as I would in combat." He would let a small smile, as he went to eat his meal.

| She smiled and finished her meal before she placed the cloth napkin on the plate. "You had met me once, what made you think to come to me? Or that I would help you?" She hadn't yet agreed to his crazy scheme yet, but she was considering it. There had been one incident where she went behind Zarc's back and saw the leader of the opposition on Chandaar.
"I will, because I want what is best for the people here. With Zarc gone, there is no one else to do it. You must promise that you will help though. I am not sure I can do this..."

| The Telosian simply shrugged at the lady, "I didn't know if you would actually agree to this, but I had a gut feeling that you like to help people." Tremaine then smiled once more, happy that she had agreed to do this. "Of course, I promise to help you. We'll probably spend a lot of time together for the duration of the campaign. The people will listen to you and I. Just expect our enemy to impose a violent crackdown."
The rebel leader would then reassure the beautiful lady, "That's when the Libs step in. We're going to help your people fight the Empire and the Mandate government alike."
