[center][h2] Armond Organa [/h2][/center] I hear what Jerus says, though I don't say anything back, nor do I show any change on my face. I remain as passive as possible as I look down upon the four would-be assassins. "Thank you for bringing them before me, Baron Thul. I do indeed wish to deal with them personally." [center][h2] Ursa Lin [/h2][/center] The pale woman cracks a smile. "Oooh. You hear that? Lord Organa is gonna kill us himself!" [center][h2] Zee Shondu [/h2][/center] The dark skinned does not look in Ursa's direction. "Lords like him don't get their hands dirty. They let their lackeys do it for them." [center][h2] Stefan Thul [/h2][/center] "Silence!" Waves a hand to a guard, who then proceeds to bash both Ursa and Zee in the back of their heads. "Do not speak unless spoken to, plebeians! You are lucky my father didn't have you executed as soon as he caught you!" [center][h2] Darth Hexxus [/h2][/center] Smiles at Ursa and Zee's pain. "Yes, lucky." Looks up at Lord Organa, daring him to give the execution order. I can sense Jerus Je'and nearby, though he is out of my field of vision at the moment. [center][h2] Armond Organa [/h2][/center] I take a moment to collect my thoughts. Finally, after sweeping my eyes over the onlookers in the gallery, the Thuls who are hoping for my approval, and the criminals at their feet, I make my decision. "You four... will be put on trial and, if found guilty, will be executed." I glance in Jerus' direction briefly. "Alderaan is a planet well known for it's traditions, and paramount among them is our rule of law. You, Gendry, are well known for your numerous crimes against the Republic, and I'm sure no one would bat an eye if I simply ended your life now for that... but we are not in the Republic. Alderaan is independent, and therefore, I can only hold your most recent of crimes against you." [center][h2] Iwan Starsnow [/h2][/center] I want to step forward, but I remain behind Jerus. I hiss angrily, "What the hell is Organa thinking? This scum is too dangerous to stand trial. These nobles are playing right into his hands.”
