Colonel McGray looked at his assistant as he gave McGray a cigar. Pulling out his lighter, he lit the cigar. Looking toward the Senator.
"No, I always like to attend social gatherings or meetings upon the galactic universe. This one however is bad events obviously. I was feared that the Empire could catch the blame;of course, citizens pointing the finger at the Empire could have started up another long war between the two."
Colonel McGray continued to smoke his cigar. Looking toward the Captain and Senator.

"This is a bit more than a social gathering Colonel. Is that all though? I mean if all you wished is permission to attend tomorrow you have it. So if your done, I would please ask for a moment alone with the senator. "
He wanted the cursed oaf gone from the room, his cigar was horrible and was yet another man trying to get his fingers into the jar that was politics.
" Senator , My father the Grand Moff sends his regards and wishes he could be here but was tied up in matters of the empire. "

¨Yes your father, I wish he could’ve made it. I have something for him, a gift. He is welcome in the Republic. Perhaps some other time we’ll meet personally.¨
*Looks at the Colonel, then the Captain,*

" Captain, of course this is not what you call a great social gathering. My concerns were with the news propaganda. Trying to twist words and such could have made this an ugly conflict. The Republic and the Empire are obviously calm. have served many battles, and watched soldiers from both sides die."
McGray smoked on his cigar and looked at both men.
" Would you like me to leave Captain?"

" Yes i would, if you don't mind, unless you have something else to talk to either of us about"
Lyle waited patiently for the man to leave or speak.

"Very well Captain, it was nice meeting the two of you. I will see you tomorrow at the meeting?"
McGray put his hand out for the two men. Expecting a handshake.

*In the Office, photographers had left, only advisors and the three men remained*
Numa stood up and extended his hand to meet McGray´s ¨I will be available later on today if you wish to confer with me, Colonel. It is always good to see you¨
This meeting was important for the Summit, the Supreme Chancellor nominee was curious to hear the words of the Imperial diplomat.
*An assistant walks into the office after the door chime sounds. He enters and heads directly to the shoulder of the Senator and whispers some details* Something was raising questions; a space intrusion in Taanab was being reported, Imperial warships it seemed. Numa had to keep his composure, he will address the Captain about this matter, first he listened.

Lyle stood up and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you Colonel McGray" Lyle than looked to the senator and began talking as if the colonel had left already.
"Yes Senator, I am concerned about the attempt on my life and want something done about your director of internal security. Also, there is a group who have stole a ambulance. A jedi, two students, and some street riff raff. Follow them, they are on the trail of those responsible for the attack. Let them lead or else, I fear you won't get anything out of them. Oh yes, my statement of what happened.
There was an explosion, than i heard a commotion and found this large black shadow attacking two students. Gunfire didn't do anything to it. But a fire extinguisher killed it. Afterwards The boy claimed it had possessed him and had spoke through him and then tried to kill the girl through him before fleeing his body and trying to attack her that way. Then I followed them where some professor told them he had been expecting them and to go to some coordinates in the lower parts of the city. "
He looked at the senator.

¨A large shadow you say?¨ questioned Numa
¨That is very strange indeed, …any speculations on it? He added, bringing up a report to the viewscreen. That interest on Taanab itched him. ¨A Jedi you say involved?, I will have my men take the necessary precautions. Perhaps they are after someone. A large shadow…hmm, those ghost stories I am afraid are no more than child tales. There should be a logical explanation to it, simple.¨ mentioned.
¨Although the presence of a Jedi does bring weight to the case…better let them investigate the issue¨ *Brings up a holo-image*
¨Look at this Captain, seems an Imperial battle group of some sort has trespassed Republic space, did you know about this?¨
The two men sat and discussed preliminary issues in the Senate Office. Some refreshments were brought to the desk, this kind of things took time. ¨I will look into it, Chief Tiber is of high temper and I apologize if he mistreated you.¨

He began to speak "The jedi claimed it must be of the force, I don't know.. had I not seen it with my own eyes and tried to shoot at it. I wouldn't believe it. The students said it was fleeing the scene of the attack. " Than the image of imperial ships attacking the republic showed.
Lyle first stood there jaw opened in shock and then he recognized the flagship . "*Admiral Staziacks... has done it this time..."
He didn't know where to begin. "Senator it seems that Admiral Staziack, along with his fleet have gone rogue from the Empire andattacked. There has been rising anti-republic sentiment but we never expected this...." He spaced for a few seconds " Where is this? I will notify our navy and we will fix this situation right away. I apologize senator... I don't know what to say."
He couldn't believe the gall of that man. If he wasn't tied up in the summit he would blast the Relentless out of the stars himself.

-¨It´s in the Taanab System. Apparently there is one of our small task units that patroled near the Hapes Cluster and reported this. Now we have official word from planet representatives and their obvious concern. Our General Gracchus is taking precautions and has told the 3rd Task Force to move from Plooriod to Taanab. If an attack happens now, we won´t be able to do anything for the next 7 hours, we´re just not close enough¨
A concerned expression gave away the Senator. The small warship Varanus was their only means to hold them for the meantime, unless the Empire could take action...
-¨You mean, this shadow being had something to do with the actual attack?¨ turning away from the screen to look at him -¨Some kind of supernatural being has inflicted this damage?¨ A second of thought followed the moment

Lyle typed into his datapad some information and soon the order went out. The fleet would be dealt with.
" That is what i was led to believe. I just fear that your man, in charge might do something stupid and ruin any chances of finding out more. But that is not my place to deal with. I hope that you find out what happened, and if it was indeed an attempt at my life. Also due to similar attacks i would like to be kept up to date on any new leads about the shadow. as we will share anything we find out."
He looked at the senator hoping that for both of them the renegades were put down.

-¨Chief Tiber can be many things Captain, but I guarantee you, he is not stupid¨
Turns to look at the screen for any updates on the Taanab situation. Continues with Lyle. -¨I do hope they put and end to this attacks, this…beings…if they are a threat as you state, they must be stopped¨

Captain Lyle looked to the Senator. "Well the ships should be on there way. We diverted a rather large force to take care of them. It should be enough unless they decide to retreat."
He thought for a few seconds. " Well i can't think of anything else that can't wait for the summit. "

¨I hope you are right on the Taanab matter¨said Numa ¨We´ll monitor it from here, that´s all we can do for now...¨
It was late. The Senate had already finished session long ago, only remained those who were buried in work, or like Numa, who liked to stay with no other place to go. Politics was his life, and it was nonsense for him to go home early with so much to do. Nonetheless, it was way pass midnight and he had to rest. There was a big day tomorrow.
*Stands up, offering handshake* ¨Indeed. It was a pleasure to finally meet you in person. You are welcome to stay in the Senate apartment complex. In fact, I´m heading there, we could share transport if you wish. Remember, I have the gift for your father¨ *pauses* There should be a reception still in process, we are late but still can make it¨
Numa began to walk around and away from his chair, and met the Captain.
¨We have a big day tomorrow. We might take as long as you need to discuss terms and secure a good deal between our governments¨
