"Because Men with Power and specialy bureaucrats NORMALY don't listen very well to what jedi have to say. The republic, a glorious idea at the start, has lost much of it's greatness due to corruption and bureaucracy. But take word Vilpa, NOT ALL Men with Power or bureaucrats are like that just most of them. Eventho I disagree with them on a lot of subjects the council has asked me to bodyguard the Viceroy that is what I'll do. Mine or anyones personal feelings about this are not to be minded, when doing ones job."
"Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is not like this"
"The pirates are interdicting known hyperspace routes," says Marios. "There is no specific genius in what they attack; some of it is worth less than others; they take what they find. Standard pirate tactics. And not aimed at any one company, either- just whoever they find at the time."

"Master Jedi? I am Captain Sohio. I have been co-ordinating security up until this point."
*smiles at Vilpa, lifts hand to signals the man to stop talking for a second*
whispers to Vilpa:
"If bureaucrats and men with power are the only thing that makes you uncomfortable than you are a lucky man Vilpa. But it's not because a job makes you feel uncomfortable that you shouldn't try your best to do it."
*Faces the lead guard*
"I am Jedi Master Marcus, this is Vilpa my student and Vlad a jedi Knight, Master Gundark will be joining us later on."
"what steps have you taken for the security of the Viceroy?"
"Well theere wouldnt be much hard to break throu the top floor if on each floor their is 3 soldiers And I dont really give alot to displease the Viceroy!!!!! Ok then put 1000 soliders at the first floor 1,000 in 500 and 1,000 on second floor each of us will be on each floor "Marcus will be on this floor since he is wise and it will most likely be wise to let him protect the Viceroy on the floor he is in I go on floor one and Vilper goes into floor 2," Vlad sais
