Becca Twilight

"Yes, thank you, your excellency."

Xanthippe Naberrie

I don't look at Jerus. "I will, of course, need to give the matter some thought. Plus, I'm sure this is a decision the whole senate would like to weigh in on. Perhaps we should give some time for a couple other candidates to step forward. You know how much I hate to run unopposed."

Armond Organa

"Very well. I believe we've had enough politics for today anyways. Let us reconvene tomorrow." With that, the senate meeting trickles to an end, and everyone begins to make their way out. As my pod return to it's birth, I look at Zar'kun and Becca. "Thank you both again for everything. If there is anything more you need, don't hesitate to ask."

Becca Twilight

I pat Armond on the shoulder. "Congratulations, Chancellor."

Armond Organa

"Thank you very much." I say honestly. Touching the control, I fly out to address the senate. "Thank you all for your confidence! When I returned to Coruscant with my meager forces, it was not my intention to win your hearts and minds. I simply saw the threat that both Sucal and the Mandalorians posed, and realized that, if left alone, the fire of war they would spark would burn this fair city planet to ashes. Now, as your Chancellor, I hope to focus first and foremost on rebuilding and reconciliation. To undo the damage caused by my predecessor... and to award those who have helped bring an end this his reign." I indicate Zar'kun and Becca. "First, I would like to formally offer a full pardon to Zar'kun Je'and and Becca Twilight, as well as the rest of their families and allies. As I'm sure you are all aware, Jorg Sucal branded them as traitors and criminals. Now, I re-brand them as heroes of the Republic." The senate cheers more. "Secondly, I would like to acknowledge Xanthippe Naberrie, former Senator of Naboo, for her friendship to me. I admit, during the election, I cast my vote in favor of her as Chancellor." I chuckle.

Xanthippe Naberrie

I wave over at Armond, smiling to myself as I realize I STILL haven't removed the enchantment form him.

Armond Organa

"Although she did not win today, I would like to offer a consolation prize; a place by my side as Speaker of the House! What say you, Xan?"

Xanthippe Naberrie

I lean into the mic. "Why, Chancellor, it would be my distinct honor."

Senator Entis

In the days following the battle on Coruscant, the Senate Building has been allowed to be reclaimed by the Republic. After some deliberation, the Senate has convened to vote on Jorg Sucal's replacement as Supreme Chancellor. A dark skinned man in a sand colored tunic floats to address the rest of the assembly, as well as those watching via holo. "I, Entus of Onderon, on behalf of the entire Republic senate, am proud to announce the results of our emergency polls."

Xanthippe Naberrie

I sit in one of the pods, watching with my arms crossed. I wasn't officially the Senator of Naboo anymore, but do to my high status back home, the current senator was more than willing to allow me to sit with him. I look up at Entus with a determined gleam in my eye. My heart was racing, and I couldn't help but fidget a little in my seat. "Come on... Come on..." I whisper.

Senator Entis

"By near unanimous decision, it is my pleasure to announce that Senator Armond Organa has been elected as the new Supreme Chancellor of the Republic!"

Xanthippe Naberrie

I breath a sigh of relief, than stand along with the rest of the senate and offer a polite round of applause for Senator... or rather CHANCELLOR Organa.

Vette

"Oh, that's just great." I look at Salazar. "You might need to carry me. You know I can only walk so long before my feet get tired."

Salazar Greshh

I sigh. "Yes, dear."

END OF SCENE

Carice Malori

"You mean where did those carvings go before I cut ties with Sucal? The Malachor system at first, then later my lab on Myrkr. Now that I'm relocating, they are aboard my ship in orbit. Once I find a new lab, they will go there."

Salazar Greshh

I am reluctant to put away my weapon. "I can't sense anything from her, so I can't tell if she's lying or not. I don't trust it."

Vette

I whisper. "Jerus did put a tracker on her last shuttle. If things go poorly, we can track her down later."

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

Carice Malori

“They are most ancient carvings. Historical accounts from the height of the Infinite Empire. Also, a few odd pieces of technology, such as those teleporters. I’m interested to see if such techniques can be replicated for Galaxy wide use. As for where I am taking them.... well, I’d rather not say. I have no doubt you’ll follow me there, and then I will never have a moments peace again. I’d rather not have you Sith Hunters breathing down my neck for the rest of my life.”

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

Carice Malori

I sigh. "Oh, yes. Forgot about that. That ship WAS a gift from Kreia. Back when I believed in Sucal. The mission here was initially to collect artifacts for his cause, it's true. But, after I realized Sucal was too weak to succeed, I took the ship for my own. I'm VERY persuasive that way. The crew always served me regardless of my allegiance."

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

Carice Malori

"True... but still, you said yourself you aren't here for me. I'm not planning on acting against you either. I've stepped out of this war. So, perhaps I take my experiments and the Rakata artifacts and leave? You don't mind, do you? These pieces of old technology were just sitting around. Nobody else was doing anything, so I decided to take them for my collection. It's nothing interesting, I promise. I can even give you a tour of my ship to prove it, if you like." I look up at the Mother Machine. "Oh! Also, she's coming too. We make a great team."

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

Carice Malori

"Like Vitiate was disrupted and contained?" I smile smugly as the pods open.

Mother

What step out are beings that seem to be a cross between several different races. They are distinctly female, and look very much like Malori, only they have montrals like a Togruta, as well as long coarse hair and facial markings like a Zabrak. Also, much like Malori, they have no Force signature. "They are beautiful! My finest creations to date! I think I will call them... Malorians, in honor of you, Doctor!"

Salazar Greshh

"I wouldn't go naming them just yet. I don't they'll be around for much longer."

Carice Malori

"You would kill them? They aren't hostile." I indicate the Malorians, who aside form looking a bit confused, are otherwise completely calm. They wonder around little, exploring the strange new world they've woken up to. "They have no interest in fighting. I doubt they even know how. Killing them would be killing innocent beings." I maintain my smug expression.

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

Carice Malori

"Come now. She's had centuries to plan. Even if she fails this time or the next time, eventually she will succeed. You can't destroy a ghost, so you will never be truly rid of her."

Salazar Greshh

"We can be rid of you though." I raise my weapon. "Let's just end this already!"

Mother

A couple of the pods begin to hiss and leak steam. "Ah! My latest creations are ready at last! I have combined the DNA of several powerful beings I have encountered over the years. I am anxious to see the results."
