| During recent events over the course of the past two days, several hundred concerned Corellians living on Coruscant began gathering along the Avenue of the Core Founders and other areas in the Senate District, awaiting further news about the situation. When passage of the Resolution occured, they went into action. Wielding crude picket signs, with "Planetary Rights", "Freedom", "Liberty", "Shut Up Puffers!", and "Corellia Governs Corellia" spray-painted on, as well as a few sticking out with Karath's face, from his campaign for Senator a few years ago. With three hundred outside both the enterance to the Senate Rotunda and the Executive Building they stood, shouting various Corellian patriotic phrases. The leaders of the protest began talking with various newsreporters who showed up on scene, explaining their fight, and the situation. As this happened, word was spread throughout the Corellian population on Coruscant, of a massive rally being planned in three days on the Avenue of the Core Founders.

| Demonstrations were understandably common on Coruscant, the center of politics in the galaxy. It just so happens that on this particular day, the impromptu Corellian protest occurred at the same time as a formidably larger assembly of sentient droids who were protesting the fact that their bill—the most significant piece of droid's rights legislation in over a thousand years—was being ignored, because the Senate's attention was suddenly monopolized by yet another damn Corellian Crisis. They were none too happy to see the Corellians (some of the droids, in fact, held anti-Corellian placards; though the vast majority of them were respectful and rational, as droid protests tended to be). The droids, as small as astromechs and in some cases as large as binary loadlifters, made it clear to the Corellians, and to the press that the Corellians were drawing away from them, that they would prefer them to leave. Would strongly prefer them to leave, or consequences could ensue.

| After a few moments of jabs toward one another between the groups, a man stepped forward. Many of the members of the Corellian protestors believed heavily in their right to bear arms, and adorned their prized weapons every day. In a place like Coruscant, it was nearly a necessity as a part of defense, however now it was very well about to turn into an offensive tool. Something the Corellians certainly didn't want in the long run. The man had organized this, as well as the upcoming event, and he stepped forward, with raised hands, attempting to quiet both sides. The Corellians quieted, but whether or not he could quiet the Droids was another matter. "My name is Jefferson Sinclair. Who among you is leading this protest?" he called out.

| Sinclair's question was answered with a disymphony of beeps, gonks, and shrill binary code. He wouldn't understand any of it, but he would understand that it sounded angry (some of it translated roughly to "We were here first," or "Corellians go govern Corellia," also accusing them of being self obsessed, comparing them to certain unflattering mechanical components, and making fun of their inefficient human digestive systems. Also, their mothers). Most of the droids continued demonstrating peacefully farther down the avenue, in front of the Senate; but in the back of their ranks a significant number of them decided the Corellians would go no further. Many of the smaller droids—astromechs, MSE ("mouse") droids, Gonks, etc.—had fallen back to allow the loadlifters to block the street and confront the increasingly belligerent Corellians. The loadlifters in question, mind you, were roughly 8 feet tall masses of durasteel, rather unfazed by the humans' pitiful blasters. In fact, some of the droids shrewdly alerted the police to a large number of blasters on display, 67.599999...% of which by their calculations were statistically likely to be illegal under recent Arms Control legislation on Coruscant.

| By now he was able to mostly quiet the group. Those at the Executive Building seemed to follow their lead. "My apologies in not being fluent in binary or the astromech language. Is there a protocol droid among you, who is willing to speak with us?" he called out. He wanted to speak with the droid, and listen to them, unlike what the Republic wanted to. He wanted to voice their concerns, as much as he wanted the droids to be able to voice theirs. And he was willing to listen.
