Lieutenant Yuluni watched as the holographic projection of their great adversary went silent and disappeared. "I have a bad feeling about this..." She said, looking to the Jedi for comfort. Her holopad started ringing as the base alarm chimed and the commander's voice rang through the mess hall, "Attention all personnel, form up in your respective unit formation areas in one hour." A wave of sighs and groans washed over the dining hall as the commander continued to give more specific directions to the officers and civilians working at the base.<br/><br/>Merryn looked over to Myara as Yuluni was quietly listening to a little blue projection coming from her palm. She sensed her turmoil and her hand reached out for the Zeltron's. "We should go." The lieutenant said, snapping shut her holopad and standing up, "Admiral Sommos is calling back all of her staff and special forces commanders. She'll probably want to speak with you guys, too."<br/><br/>She sighed, "I have a speeder outside- it'd probably be faster than the taxi, huh?"<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Listen, I'm telling you." A gruff man said at an airspeeder dock beside a red PL-90, "These are diplomatic plates- you can't search this vehicle even if you had a warrant."<br/><br/>He was arguing with a pair of Republic police growing increasingly impatient, "Sir, please stand aside." One said, "We have authorization from Defense Minister Delko to search this vehicle. If you don't move, we will use force. This is your last warning." The other pulled out his beeping holopad and answered it as his comrade argued with the man at the speeder. The little blue projection was another man in uniform, "All points bulletin. Representative Valorum has not been apprehended outside the Rotunda- officers are not responding, be advised-"<br/><br/>Suddenly the officer fell forward, the shot of a blaster ringing through the air. The crowd at the dock all cried out and fled as the other officer was punched in the groin by the gruff man holding the speeder. Behind them, leaving from the senate, Valorum was escorted by the two Mandalorians- the Kel Dor holding a smoking blaster he had seized from one of the guards sent to apprehend them.<br/><br/>They let the businessman in first and quickly followed behind, the gruff man immediately pulling the airspeeder out from the dock.
