(Well, Rhys, Eerin, Sasha and I are heading to the ships to get the weapons out. What else can we do guys? Does Drakkon know what's going on, I hope? We should seal the town and ready his militia if he's not on it already. All our ships have torpedoes at least, are we making any bombing runs as they advance? Just off the top of my head here, waiting on our arrival at the starport.)

(Easy there, trigger...I don't think it has begun yet...)

Galahad raises his eyebrows in amazement.

"ALL of their landing craft? That is surely an act of war and a breech of the peace!"

hmmm did we establish the breech in imp communications already?

Nope.

"Yes it is," agrees Andran. "I'll have someone's damn guts for this.. What the hell is going on up there?"

He beckons you aside, Galahad.

"Something's up. I haven't accountedf for something. I was delaying the Commissar as long as I could, but he certainly didn't make any decision. Those ships were deplyong before he left here."

A report comes from Andran's ship- the landing craft are going to ground somewhere out in the Jungle, which pricks up the ears of the likes of Cass and Kyle, if they are around.

"I'd better speak with Drakkon," says Andran. "Coming?"

-

Starport. Ok, guys, what's the cargo shifting plan?

And don't forget other pressing matters! The pressure is on now!

We should shift all this gear to either Drakkon's Lodge or a storage unit of some sort. We need to do this very quickly.

"Perhaps an intervention from the Emperor?" Galahad suggests, though he hopes against it. "At any rate, of course I'm coming. Drakkon needs to be ready."

Ok, Sasha, get a plan together and propose it to the relevant people.

"The Emperor likes to delegate," says Andran. "These days he barely leaves the palace and almost never micro-manages."

He talks to one of Drakkon's aides, requesting a talk. As you can guess, there is an indication that Drakkon is rather busy right now, but Andran insists. He has a natural authority to him that is very handy- but then, so do you.

"There is someone he leaves that to, though, isn't there?" Galahad says, uneasily.

Galahad waits for Andran to assure their admittance to Drakkon's throne room.

"Yes," says Andran, "which is why he has sent that Commissar. Besides, even if the Emperor DID micro-manage, he wouldn't send a personal representative and then overrule him. He didn't get where he is by acting like that; it is bad politics. He wants people to know that his political agents speak with his personal authority."

"You have comer to give me tactical advice now?" asks Drakkon, in a huddle with some of his inner circle.

"I have come to advise restraint," says Andran.

"Oh really?" says Drakkon. "And what does your... colleague think?"

For the crew moving their 'luggage,' maybe we could just shift it to another ship in our crew?

(I think it's a little late for pretense. Let's distribute it out. Our crew, Osokans, whoever needs it.)

It shouldn't be hard to start giving weaponry out to the Osokans; it will get it off your ships pretty fast.

Then I second the plan to start distributing the weaponry to the Osokans.

(We might want to hang on to the disruptor rifles and Gungan energy grenades for ourselves, just keep that in mind...)

"I advise likewise, Guildmaster," Galahad responds. "This is all too sudden; the Empire has no justification for this landing they have performed, and if you were to call to arms you men now, they would."

"If the Imperial forces are coming, then is now not the time to prepare? I must arm my people."

"Not now. If there is still a chance to stop this madness before the hammer drops, then we must trust in our skill with politics."

"Politics? They are landing an army on my world! The time for words is over."

"I am only offering advice, Guildmaster," Galahd reminds him. "It is your world, and you may make a call to arms if you wish. But Andran and I advise patience."

"The army is not landing at your gates, Guildmaster," says Andran. "There is still time, and no need for haste."

"Time I need to distribute my weapons!" says Drakkon. "How can you expect me to believe the Empire is not planning immediate attack?"

"Because the Senate would not stand for it, Guildmaster. Too much sympathy would go to the Rebellion and support for the Emperor would falter with a move such as this. They will not attack right away. You have plenty of time."
