[h2]Alxle[/h2] The Hopefull sat the orbit of Courusant. The ship belong to Alxle Dee, senator of one of the planet's moons. Inside a handful of senators relaxed in a lounge. Where as they would normally be bickering over politics, as of the moment the lounge was silent. Just moments ago the chancellor had sent a message, cancelling the meeting they where meant to join. Alxle sat facing the group, he had worked with these fellow senators for many years. Normally the short flight to Courusant would be filled with laughter and a small amount of drinking, but now the room was tense. Eventually he sighed and spoke to the group, [b]"I'm shore everything is fine, maybe the chancellor's heath is simply getting to him."[/b] He didn't believe his own words, but the others seemed to relax a little. The chancellor would have continued the meeting even if he was supposed to be on his deathbed. [b]"For now let us return to my estate, there we can enjoy the rest of the night."[/b] He stood and left for the cockpit. Once is the cockpit he told the pilot to return home. He could have used the coms to tell the man, but Alxle wanted to send a message requesting a meeting with the chancellor. The chancellor had been there for Alxle when he was at his worst, it felt right to at lest check in on him. Sitting in a chair next to the communication computer, He began to record a the short message. [center][color=lightblue]Dear chancellor, I would like to request a meeting tomorrow to discus current events, Alxle Dee[/color][/center] After sending the message he sat back in his chair, his hands together with his chin sitting on his thumbs. Something else might be going on, and if it was, he wanted to know what it is. [hr] [h2]Bejo[/h2] Bejo sat in a mandalorian dropship with a small squad of recruits. The republic had hired them to clear out a group of pirates that had set up on an old mining station in an asteroid. Bejo had figured this would be a good chance for them to get a bit of live combat training in. The coms came on for a moment, the pilot stating that they where only a few moments away from the asteroid. Deciding now was a good time for a little pep-talk with the recruits. He stood before them, [b]"This will be your first taste of battle, your first chance for glory. Even though these are just mire pirates, within every fight there is a chance for glory. Be smart, be strong, and [color=red]GLORY FOR MANDALOR[/color]!"[/b] As he finished his words the ship landed in the hanger of the mined and the doors opened. Jumping forward, Bejo opened fire at the pirates. They had set up some form of sloppy defensive position to try and hold them off. Two other drop ships joined them, each one had a veteran while the rest where recruits. Bejo traded fire with the pirates, while slowly moving from cover to cover. Pulling out his termo detenator, he tossed it over to the pirates. A moment later it went off, destroying a good portion of their line. He then pulled out his vibrosword, and gave the command to charge as he rushed the now disorientated pirates. Some pulled back farther into the station, while others stood and fought. He vaulted over a cargo box, and brought he blade down on the pirate on the other side of it. One pulled a short sword and charged his left, while another came from his right side. Bejo kicked the one on his left in the chest, then ducked and rolled out of way of the other one. Turing he slashed at the man's leg. As the man fell to a knee, Bejo punched him the face. Other mandalorians had now joined him, and most of the defenders are ether dead or farther into the station. Waiting a moment to give out orders. One squad would wait in the hanger to make sure now of the defenders got around them, while the rest would continue onward.
