"That would certainly be more acceptable to the political establishment," says Palpatine. "You understand that you would not be able to push the issue, because the Techno-Union would then push for a full-scale inquiry, which would have to lead to proceedings to even indict Ryamore for anything... and as you know, it has taken two years to get even that far with the Trade Federation and the Viceroy.
"But as an excuse to see if anyhting else is a foot, it will stand. Not that it is within my remit to re-direct a Jedi investigation on just my word..." finishes Palpatine, inquiringly.
"That could be done easily," says Windu. "But it would mean making the business official. We would contact the Union and arrange a meeting; we would just have to hope that that is not a barrier."
Palpatine stands and turns back to the window, in thought again.

yo you need to chill out
im not really smart enough to completely understand what were doing with palps trying to convince we should be aloud to do something. Is there a such thing as a persuasion roll or something to convince palps better i dunno i got bad memory been awhile since i read the rules
Xeth i meant would the pirates ever come into contact with any type of person it couldn't be a complete solo activity on there side there would have to be something they'd need from somebody even if its small. i dunno just thinking.
No, Fire has the right to be a tad annoyed with this. Censure points are the new rule that could do a number on us if we had too many.
Quite simple, what's happening. We don't have sufficient evidence to prove to the Chancellor that we should go against the Union, except for my employer's word and our group's instincts. However, Marcus discovered a way...
And we "know" that the pirates were in touch with the Union.
Your Persuasion scores are affecting the success of your arguments already.
"Very well," says Mundi. "We shall direct Master Marcus and Vlad to meet with the..."
"I think they should all go," says the Chancellor, without moving.
"All, Chancellor?"
"Yes. Why not? If we are going to send a message to the Techno-Union, then I rather feel we should make it a strong one. Everyone assembled before me here is at least technically a Jedi, I believe? I am led to understand that Xeth and his associates are keen to pursue this case."
"Yes," says Yoda, suddenly. "All go, they shall. Safer it is. Much there is for them to achieve. And possible danger, too."
"Surely not, Master Yoda," says Palpatine. "The Techno-Union would only be the architects of their own destruction if they attempted anything the Jedi here would consider dangerous; they could not possibly get away with it."
"Hmm, nonetheless... safety in numbers, I sense much wisdom in. Fast and decisive, this case shall be."
Which more ir less seems to settle the matter. People should now make any preparations they wish to make before they depart; in Gundy;s absence (she is still recovering from her poisoning if she does not come to play), Marcus and Clarion have authority both, as their rrespective investigations come together; you can sort out the particualrs between yourselves.
There is a message for Xeth for him to answer when he leaves, and Windu wants to talk to Marcus, and also Vlad if Red X has indeed taken Windu as his mentor. No other meetings with contacts, mentors or allies is being pushed your way, but if you wish to see them, please do.
Lorn turned and exited the Chancellor's quarters, paying his respects as he left. He headed towards his own chambers, where he strapped on his belt around his waist. He then donned his dark brown cowl and scooped up his lightsaber and clipped it to his belt on the right-hand side. Then making a final, check to ensure he had everything, Lorn exited his chambers and headed for the transport area.
