[center][h2] Mandalore the Risen [/h2][/center] Hearing Jerus' words, I nod to my warriors. "Keep pressing forward! To the palace!" We relaunch our attack, catching the distracted soldiers off guard. Many of them were looking at each other in confusion, and others were trying to raise their commanding officers on their comms. I didn't know what Jerus had done, but it had worked. [center][h2] Gavin Greshh[/h2][/center] I look out of the window of an office I'd claimed in the Senate Building. I could see the battle outside resuming, and the smoke rising from the Palace. "Something has changed... I can sense it." I turn towards Temari, HJ Twilight, and the Revolution leaders. "Arm yourselves. Mand'alor needs all of us to finish this." [center][h2] Hayden Twilight [/h2][/center] My feet finally touch the ground, and I quickly shrug Jerus' hands off of me. Not in rough or ungratefully; just a matter of fact sort of way. I give him a very quick, meaningful look. "Thank you, Uncle." Before there is much time to linger on this 'tender' moment, I rush over to Sucal's body and stare down at his face, locked in a permanent expression of shock. "Gotcha, you piece of shit."

Each one offloads a squad of troopers, lead by an officer. The main shuttle group is lead by a man dressed in specialized power armor. One of his eyes is covered by a metal patch. [center][h2] Supreme Commander Hariss [/h2][/center] I hold up my hand to signal the troopers to stand by as they surround the four possible assassins. There is slight apprehension in my expression, and my good eye keeps flicking between the four and the body of the Chancellor. "Nobody move! In the name of the Republic, I order you to surrender!"
