Vale nearly flinched at the idea of having to enter the bowls of the Governor's palace. She of course occasionally had to enter the immaculately kept palace for various purposes but the Governor had a nasty habit of knowing when she would have to talk to him and would typically have the most vile things occurring while she attempted to discuss actual issue with him. She figured this was mostly on purpose to keep the colonel "in her place" in regards to him showing what he was willing to do. While she expected this occasion to not be like that the last thing she wanted to happen was for her to get a favorable first impression of the Governor. Vale also wondered where this agent got the idea from that she would be working with the Governor at all, let alone closely. "Yes, truly a magnificent day to be the enforcer of the Empire's will." Vale said allowing her self to atleast for a moment believe that "serving" the Governor somehow furthered that end.

Before Vale was able to get a word in to perhaps suede her otherwise the agent made the power move and began walking. Realizing that she had no other card to play that would get her out this she began to walk with the agent in stride as the Governor's shuttle lifted off in search of another place to park. "As you wish, though I must inform you he doesn't actually know you were arriving. He has had a moratorium on all non-emergency information being brought to him for the last two months, citing his needing to make preparations for today." Vale in truth didn't actually know what the Governor had been doing inside his palace the last few months, while she had been making sure to personally read and approve all his materials requests she hadn't actually figured out what he was doing exactly. The supposed moratorium was also somewhat of a half truth, he had stated that nothing tagged as "non-priority" was to be brought to him. Though there was no reason an ISB agent should be tagged as priority now should it? Afterall, if the Governor was acting accordingly why worry his balding head with it?

Returning to the agent's new request for a status update however was much easier to be truthful about. "I'm sure you've read the monthly reports, so to spare you the history up until now things have been relatively quiet. Our mining output is set to exceed the new quotas for this month by over 13%, the newly opened AT-AT factory is set to ship off it's first non-local production line before the end of next month, three raids have been conducted in the last two weeks of suspected dissenters in preparation of today's events which revealed that there was infact an attack planned on the palace today. Though we believe that cell to have been thoroughly stamped out I have taken the liberty of increasing security on the highly unlikely event something should happen; seeing as we have both local businessmen and people of system wide importance attending tonight I have several prepared multiple contingencies for both defense and evacuation. Getting back to more planet-wide events the construction of the Golan station has been proceeding smoothly and without any incidents. It will be able to begin resupplying cruisers next week and the following week it will be able to service Venator-class vessels, with support for newer star destroyers coming the week following that. We also...." Vale was suddenly interrupted by one of her lieutenants reporting that unknown stormtroopers using the agent's shuttle had dropped off their first load of equipment.

"Excellent, prepare for more equipment to arrive and double the manpower to the landing pad. Vale out." Just as Vale was about to apologize for the interruption another Lieutenant chimed in saying that all fortifications were completed on the northern wing of the palace. She acknowledged this and remembered that they had had a hard time properly securing one of the tunnels the Governor used to move supplies in and out of the palace. However she elected to not continue with the updating of the agent as they neared the door that lead out of the hanger. There were two of the Governor's stormtroopers waiting on either side of the door, the fact that they had Imperial insignias stamped in black on their shoulders made it clear that they were different from the rest of the troopers they had encountered. The Governor had decided to differentiate his guard from the rest of the troops in more than one way but this was the most readily available example. The stormtroopers stepped in front of the door as she approached and the one on the right spoke up.

"Sir, your guards are not allowed beyond..." Vale cut the trooper off before he could finish telling her that the Governor's standing orders were not to let in any of her own guards.

"Tonight that has been waved. Radio operations and ask if you wish, Governor's orders for the night." The trooper quickly radio'd control which just so happened to be in a hardened bunker deep in the earth beneath the palace to confirm the orders.

"Apologizes sir, your men are cleared." The troopers moved to either side of the door and it slid open as they approached. She was glad that the Governor had actually called that in for the day, seeing as all of his men had been moved off the walls and into the palace itself he knew his men vastly outnumbered any guard force she could bring in with her. After passing through the doorway they found themselves in a 3 meter long bare metal hallway which then ended with another door but this one took slightly longer to open. The extra thickness on the door was obvious as they passed through that breach as well and into the palace proper. The palaces walls rose several stories above them were coated in all types of art from Coruscant and plated with some sort of gold. There also happened to be many evenly spaced smooth columns going in every direction. They were obviously less for support and more to fill up some of the vast hallways. While they were currently at the top of a T-section of the hallway it was quite apparent to Vale that they needed to go straight as that is where the music that was lightly echoing the halls was coming from.

"As you can tell the Governor separated his guardsmen from the rest of the military when his previous subordinate attempted a coup. This can make coordination with him... difficult at times. For the time being your troopers will be allowed within the palace but once you meet the Governor I'll have them cleared to have full access to the planet. Another thing, may I ask your name agent?" Vale said all of this with the due respects a commanding officer of her's would deserve even though she suspected her rank wasn't actually higher than hers. As both pairs of their troopers synced up with their walking speed Vale took pleasure in the fact that her troopers atleast appeared as trained as hers.
