[color=0072bc]Master Jedi! I have need of you and your apprentice, my men are pinned down and separated, once the queen is secure we need to..."[/color]

Suddenly Koda was interrupted by his comms reopening and a cold authoritative female voice spoke, [color=ed1c24]"Captain Koda, Honutu Tasras, Queen Meetra of Onderon, young Thessa Hawkens. Judging by the failure of my strike teams I can assume your all doing well. As for the captains squad mates, I can't promise the same good fortune, if you refuse to cooperate."[/color]  at this Koda and the room heard the muffled sound of the republic soldiers he had put in charge of the hallways. [color=ed1c24]The force favors them, for it has gifted them all with a commander that values their lives above that of a disposed monarch. Unless i'm mistaken?" [/color] Koda's current squad gathered around him to listen to the fate of their comrades easier. [color=ed1c24]"I'll make this simple. Send Queen Meetra to the far left doorway un-escorted, and I will return all 16 of your useless grunts to you. And as a show of good faith, I will allow you all to leave Onderon and return to the Republic. Isn't that more then generous of me?"[/color] she cooed sweetly over the communicator, not allowing a hologram of the situation to play. [color=ed1c24]"Refuse me..."[/color] she said her voice immediately turning to ice, [color=ed1c24]"And their will be dire consequences for you and your men." [/color]

Before Koda could process he was bombarded by the input of his squad [color=a0410d]"Your not considering this are ya Pilsk!? Don't be an idiot, those men signed up to fight and die for the Republic! I say let um! We have a job to do!"[/color] bellowed Traz.

[color=003471]"Life as a prisoner of the Sith is a fate worse then death!" [/color] spoke up the almost ever silent Veji, [color=003471]We must protect our brothers and sisters from such a fate! No matter the cost![/color]

[color=f7976a]"Are you mad? Or simply a traitor!? Without the Queen there is no Onderon!"[/color] Tallo yelled at Veji, [color=f7976a]"Her life must come before all of ours!"[/color]

[color=aba000]"Mister Pilsk sir?"[/color] Halon meekly tried to speak up.

[color=fff200]"Umm boss you might want to..."[/color] Liz tried to intone  but was drowned out by Sal's piercing whistle, [color=0076a3]"Shut your gobs ya colony rats! This is the captain's and the Jedi's decision! Your commanding officer did not ask for your opion, and you will not give it until he does!"[/color] "Yes but.." Liz and Halon tried to said at the same time, [color=0076a3]"Shut it!"[/color] barked Sal.

Koda finnaly spoke up, [color=0072bc]"Our duty is to the Republic And the mission. Yet my duty as captain is to my soldiers. My vision is clouded and my judgement in turmoil. Master Jedi, your highness I leave the choice to you." [/color]
Koda said decisively.
