Alright...
F'ckin hell Galahad.. You NEED TO DO SOMETHING!
Your JOB! Is to give the Imps hell when shit like sending transmissions to the senate behind yoru back, goes on...
We've been giving the Imps basically Free reign! We Need to start getting on their case! Question WHY they are sending the transmission. Demand a copy of it! Call the Senate about why they are shooting down innocent freighters!
Don't know what to do?
CREATE SOMETHING! Go poke around, Go harrass the Imps. You let them walk right into the records... You kinda went "Umm, Hi... What are you doing?....Oh ok.. Carry On..."
I know I'm being harsh, But, this is LOOSING US THE DAMN GAME!
If a session has not been called she'd know little.
But Ties to the Senate means you know people at all levels- Senators, their aides, their assistants, their secretaries, recorders in the Senate, observers in the Senate, administrators in the Senate, the people in communications, records, the legal department, security, even the janitors.
That's the thing with an Elder Statesman- real life or otherwise- they just know nearly everyone.
