And I too hope that this conference will bring much needed aid to the people of Rodia. I just hope that I am up to the task of convincing Navik Roosh that Rodia belongs with the Republic.” Serra bows her head and then looks to Barthon. “It was good to see you Kalami, again, thank you for your assistance on this mission.” She says as she takes her leave of the Rodian. “Barthon, let the pilot know that we are ready to depart, then come to my chambers, we have a lot of catching up to do.” Serra tells her longtime friend who growls in confirmation and makes his way to the cockpit.
