"What happens when they short circuit?" Gallagher asks. "It's still armor, right?"

"It still functions," Cazzr says. "Just... not as well. It is the difference between life and death for a Czrkzi soldier. We're very durable."
You approach the vault door.
"So, what are you showing us, Cazzr?" Korth says. "I figured we would be meeting your Lord first."
"He has many things to attend to," Cazzr says. "He assumed you would forgive him this absence."
"Fair enough," Korth says.
"Anyway, I am going to show you what your Senate is interested in," Cazzr says.
Cazzr approaches the controls and presses a hand to it. You feel a pulse in the Force, and the vault begins to open after the panel lights up.

Gallagher waits eagerly to see what the vault holds.

The vault door retracts into the wall, as does the second and third sets of blast doors behind it. Then the energized security wall is lowered, and beyond you can see a small room with a high ceiling. Blast shields withdraw from the windows to bring in a flash of light from the storm outside.
On a pedestal sits a datapad.

Gallagher looks at it curiously but does not approach unless Master Korth does.
"What is it for?" Gallagher asks. "Or what's on it?"

"Some of the most important information our kind has ever produced," Cazzr says. "The greatest secrets and schemes of the Czrkzi."
"Conveniently kept on a very portable datapad," Korth notes. "This doesn't look very secure..."
"I assure you that none have ever succeeded in getting as far as you have by force," Cazzr says. You sense a hint of pride.

"I don't doubt it," Gallagher says. "They'd be electrocuted before entering the atmopshere, let alone the building."
Can Gallagher see what secures the datapad in this room?

If there are any security mechanisms, they are concealed.
Cazzr offers a smile to your comment, and says little else.
"I'm honored that you've entrusted us with this tour," Korth says. "I have a feeling the Senatorial committee will receive no such thing when they arrive tomorrow."
"The Czrzki have always felt resonance with the Jedi," Cazzr says, stepping away from the vault. The doors begin to close and seal off the room again. "What you call the Force is an energy field we know closely, in other ways. And the Jedi have ever been our allies, historically. They never allowed the Sith a foothold, here."
"Indeed not," Korth says.
"Come, I will show you to your quarters," Cazzr says. "You'll need your rest for tomorrow. It will be strenuous, I think. The Lightning Lord will not easily surrender what the Senate seeks."
As you are leaving, they perform another test-firing on the powered armor you observed earlier. The lasers crackle and dissipate upon contact with the armor, and the scientists glance your direction momentarily before continuing with their projects.
The blast door closes the laboratory behind you.
-
Korth and yourself are given residence within the Palace, in one of its many towers. The walls glimmer around you when the tower is struck by lightning, but the sound is distant.
"What did you make of our tour?" Korth asks, once Cazzr departs.

"Cazzr wanted to welcome us?" Gallagher says. "The things he showed us were cool... and pretty private."

"And powerful," Korth says. "Cazzr wanted to make a statement by showing us what he did."

"We're not here to fight him," Gallagher says, confused. "Aren't we here to help make sure everything goes smoothly?"

"We are," Korth says. "The Czrzki are deeply distrustful of the Republic. Despite their representation in the Senate, they remain largely autonomous. Many times has the Senate attempted to coerce things out of this world. Who DO they trust, though?"

"The Jedi?" Gallagher says, hesitantly because he doesn't want to say the wrong answer in front of his Master. "Because we've helped them before?"

"Precisely," Korth says. "Even so, trust only goes so far. We need to ensure we do nothing to jeopardize that connection. The Force binds us together but earthly actions can pull us apart. Be mindful not to openly side with the Senate against the Czrzki.
"On the other hand, be mindful not to stray too far from the Senate's objectives. The Czrzki sharing their technology could do much good for the Galaxy.
"We must ride the line."
-
That being said...
The Jedi are currently at a slightly skewed stance between the Czrzki and the Senate. A score of 0 indicates an even balance between the two, while a positive score indicates a better stance with the Czrzki and a poorer stance with the Senate; a negative score is the opposite.
Gallagher and Korth are currently +1, having arrived early and met with Cazzr.
Your stance can determine bonuses or penalties in social rolls, and the outcome of general events.

Kind of like the Senate rating in the Imperial era game? I'll keep it in mind... though I'm sure Gallagher has very little grasp on how actions affect the bigger picture (unless the Force helps him there too!)
But Gallagher gives Master Korth his assurance that he'll be careful not to anger any one party.
"I'll follow what you do," Gallagher says. "This is all new for me."

"I know," Master Korth says. "I believe you'll do well. You are very intuitive, Gallagher. Use that to read the people you meet and learn about the social situations you encounter without asking too many questions. You'll know more than they'll think you do."
The Force probably helps give Gallagher some grasp of things, but it is not so defined as that. At least, Gallagher's powers have not developed that far.
-
Master Korth is bedding down for the night so that you are prepared for tomorrow. You have the opportunity to declare whether or not you will use a precognitive power at this point.

Yes! Gallagher will use Insight, please. Go ahead and spend the point. I can't imagine Gallagher will need them for much else!
(jinx...)
Gallagher will rest up but keep his mind open should the Force decide to grant him any insight, maybe meditating a bit before bed.

Consider it spent! You will be receiving the vision at an appropriate point.
-
Master Korth rouses you early the next day and leads you through a meditation exercise to clear your head for the day.
"Keep calm, no matter what is said to you," Korth says. "And stay by me at all times."

"I did not intend to leave your side, Master," Gallagher says.
Gallagher will pull on his pristine robes and strap his lightsaber to his belt if he is allowed to carry it. He puts on his best smile and prepares himself mentally to meet the crowds on Crzkz.

Bringing your lightsaber is fine.
You feel a little nervous in general, Gallagher, but Master Korth places a reassuring hand on your shoulder (as he tends to do) and you leave your temporary quarters.
Korth leads you to the lifts, and from there, to the meeting hall within the palace where everyone is gathering. The lifts actually move in multiple directions- up and down, left and right, forward and backward, so by the time you reach the meeting hall, you are not sure where are, other than high up.
The Historic Hall of the Electric Court is where the meeting is being held. Amidst columns and plinths sporting historic items From Crzkz, a handful of long banquet tables have been set up. There are a smattering of power-armored Crzkzi guards here and blue-robed Senate guards there, but overall security within the hall looks pretty loose.
The groups in the room are predominantly Crzkzi dignitaries, but you do see other alien races in the mix, mostly adorned in Senatorial robes and talking fervently.
Cazzr emerges from the crowd and beckons to you and Master Korth.
