The Senator would stand up from his chair, and began to speak. "First of all, I would like to say that I agree with both Mr. Fitzgerald and Senator de Crion. I don't mean to point out the obvious, but this is clearly something that needs to be worked on. Trust isn't something to be developed through fear and forced beliefs. A lot of us have witnessed this firsthand and secondhand right after the Clone Wars and continued throughout the Galactic Civil War implemented by the Galactic Empire. Now, a lot of people also don't trust the Sith because many believe that they are both Jedi with different philosophies but that's entirely a different story. Anyway, there were several people who have asked me whether I truly trust the Jedi. I have always given out the very same answer and that is yes, I trust them with my life. However, if a reporter were to ask me if the Jedi were perfect."

Tremaine would pause for a moment, only to take a sip out of the glass that had water in it. "I would say that they were far from perfect. Sure, they have the Force to make them faster, read people's minds, fight better, et cetera. Even though they have that at their disposal, they are not without flaws. As evidences pointed to Kyp Durron and Darwin Sky, no one is perfect. Not even the Jedi. Master Skywalker have been trying really hard to show the people of the galaxy that the Jedi are not above the laws, and I applaud for his efforts. The problem is people don't realize that while there may be a few Jedi that are misguided, the general population of the Jedi Order are decent people. They are just like us everyday, there's no reason we should look at them differently. The only exception is that they have the Force to aid them, obviously. The galaxy looked at them differently because of the expectations imposed upon them. They don't need to burden themselves with such thing."

The Senator would take another sip from the glass, "I believe we should take Senator de Crion's advice, and that is to have the citizens of the New Republic interact with the Jedi more often. We should start proposing programs that encourage cooperation between the New Republic and the Jedi. That would lure the Jedi out of their isolation habits, and then people would start to realize that the Jedi are just like ordinary people. I would be glad to work with Senator de Crion and several other Senators that believe as we do in proposing several programs in the Senate. I would go as far as offering my services as a liaison officer between the New Jedi Order and the New Republic, that is, if the Senate approves this. That is how strong I believe in improving the relationships between both factions."

The Senator had realized that he probably had said too much, and would go ahead and sit down. "You have the floor."

Due to Master Skywalker being preoccupied elsewhere and was going to be late for the Summit, he had recommended that Master Saal goes to represent the Jedi Council. Before he walked into the Conference Room, a man walked past him. No doubt the man is a participant of the Summit, and the Master would simply bow down to him before getting inside. The Kel Dor would make sure to have his lightsaber on his belt revealed. The purpose of this is to show those that the Jedi can be as disciplined as everybody else in the galaxy. "I apologize for Master Skywalker's absence, he was taken up elsewhere. I am here to represent the Jedi Council and the Order itself. I am honored to be in your presence." The Master would bow down in respect before speaking once again, "I am Master Saal. I hope I didn't miss anything important." The Kel Dor said in a calm tone, as he made his way toward an available seat and had himself sit down.

The Senator of Mowgle had spotted a Jedi showing up, no doubts being sent by Master Skywalker in case he would miss the whole conference. Just because this Jedi isn't Master Skywalker doesn't mean he isn't important. He would take a moment to stand up off his chair to bow down to the Jedi in respect. "It is a honor to have you here. We are pleased to have you here, and we are eager to hear your views on the issues regarding the Jedi-Republic relations." Tremaine had never seen the Jedi before as he have been to the Academy a few times to check on Caden. Although, he knew that it is very common for a member of the Jedi Council to be occupied most of the time. In some ways, they are alike Senators. That is one of several reasons why he does not believe the Jedi are above the people, but treat them with the utmost respect. They should be treated as allies, and Tremaine had hoped to keep it that way.

The Senator would have his mind re-focused on the present, listening to what Senator de Crion has to say. "Senator de Crion, in order for that to happen, I believe it has to start with people within the government. That includes Senators, Intelligence agents, Republic soldiers, et cetera. I am not saying that the Jedi should be embedded into the government. I am saying that in order for people to trust the process of integration, the government has to show that we are willing to trust the Jedi with such task. If we can't show that, then how can the people trust the Jedi to do so? I also have to mention that it would take a financial backing for that to happen, and I am more than willing to use my funding and resources to help make that happen. Any suggestions?"

"I concur that there should be proper education of the Jedi. Too many of sentient beings are not being educated properly. However, education can only do so much. It is not only their fault that they do not understand what being a Jedi is like, but also our fault. The New Jedi Order devote a lot of time into training our students in the ways of the Force. So much that we have become accustomed to the isolationism policy. That is something the Jedi Council have only recently attempt to reverse. Being a member of the Jedi Council, I've spoken with Master Skywalker several times on this issue. We are devoting a lot of time and efforts into encouraging the students to get outside the walls and explore the galaxy, interacting with other sentient beings to help properly educate. You must understand this. We do not wish to isolate ourselves from the rest of the galaxy. While we appreciate the New Republic's contributions to the establishment of the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, we believe that it's time to repay this debt. By repaying the debt, we meant we need to get out and show that we are just like everybody else. The Jedi Council would be more than willing to cooperate with the Senate on the issues concerning the relations, and that is something the Old Jedi Order did not do."

Master Saal stopped speaking, allowing others to step in. He was told by Master Skywalker to get actively involved in the Summit, to show that the Jedi cares about this sort of thing. Master Skywalker wanted the rest of the Order to contribute time and efforts into regaining the galaxy's trust.

"Senator Crion, it's good that you expressed your concerns. That is what we are here for. We are here to express all the concerns regarding the Jedi. You must understand that while there are Jedi that that have strayed from the paths of the Order, it is only a small faction compared to many within the Order. However, you are right on this. Every single Jedi that fell to the dark side had become a threat to the entire galaxy. Maybe it is because the teachings of the Jedi doesn't apply to everyone. Maybe it is because that particular Jedi felt they are able to handle the threat and ended up becoming the threat themselves. I do know this, the Jedi will need to be more careful of the choices they are making. We can't tell what the Jedi should or should not do. Senator Crion, you're right that if the Jedi are to go out in the public, they need to be regulated but not in the way you might think. Maybe we can ask the Jedi to let us know what they're doing, what missions they're on, et cetera, more often. This might not seem much, but it could mean the difference between not knowing whether a Jedi had fallen and becomes a threat yet again...and preventing a Jedi from doing what he wasn't supposed to do."
