Nope- you don't think he was carrying one.

"So, what, do you want me to move? Explain yourself, boy, you're speaking nonsense." Coll gives him a sarcastic grin
"I think you and your men are crowding him," says the Protector, "and that you had better get ready to move out of his way if he decides to move though."
"I don't think your Guildmaster would appreciate being talked to that way," Sasha says, putting her hands on her hips and frowning. "I have come in his stead, for he is unable to leave his business with the Senate, and now the Imperial Commissar who has come to visit from one of those Destroyers. If I could be allowed to pass, I can fulfill my task and return to Drakkon."
The General steps towards Zalandos.
"Listen, boy, you obviously do not understand who you are talking to. I am a General in the Imperial Army, and the idea that I should move because you told me to is absurd. I move for no man except for the Emperor."
He turns to you.
"Senator, your bodyguard is a bit of an insolent fool, is he not? I advise you send him away, before he does anything stupid that you might be held accountable for."
Zalandos replies.
"And you stand before a member of the Imperial Senate on official business. He is a Person Inviolable, and may not be debarred from pursuing his work, and to do so is a criminal offence, which under the terms of the emergency legislation currently enforced, is treason. Even for a General. I'd hate to have to ask your own Commander to arrest you, so I suggest you stand you and your men free if the Senator decides to walk through."
The Commissar speaks again.
"So you suggest that the presence of Imperial army helps the negotiations, Senator?" -Melkor smiles slightly, but without warmth. -"It seems this is indeed the language Drakkon undestands. But can he quarantee lasting peace, he who has himself led a rebellion against former Guildmaster? Also Senator, could you explain to your bodyguard that under no circumstances will Imperial military threaten a member of the Senate?"
"That's enough, my boy," Galahad says, turning his head to grin at Zalandos and give him a slight wink out of the Commissar's and General's sight. "See to it that Andran is prepared for the Commissar's presence. I'm sure General Coll will move his soldiers if I feel the sudden urge to walk through them. Return to us when Andran sends you." He gives a slight chuckle and turns to the General. "You'll have to forgive him. He's quite protective."
"And not exactly, Commissar," Galahad replies to Esgabath. "It is most likely that he would rather not have you here. He feels, and I agree, that the presence of three Star Destroyers is rather threatening; hence, the raising of the shield, as a precaution."
"Drakkon's uprising against the former Guildmaster is not much of my concern; however, Matadan seemed rather incompetent, and his election was heavily rigged. Drakkon was elected by his people, and so far, it seems that he is secure as Guildmaster."
The docking bay is roughly circular, but you can't get a very good look inside from outside.

"What the hell would you know about what the Guildmaster does or does not want?" says the guard.
You guys keep making the same mistake here. These people have NO respect for non-Osokans and the idea that you could speak for the Guildmaster is ludicrous.
