Andran's made a request? I wonder what about...
"Neutralizing the anti-air defenses...I think we could do that, if we knew where they're controlled from," Arvus says. "Or if there's some sort of central control do-icky that we can disable and shut it all down. Or just plain dismantle it. Sabotage is a hobby of mine, after all!
"Meanwhile, Drakkon would be a tough take down. No doubt most of the Osokans would be out in the City, preparing to defend, but Drakkon's not going to be the only guy in there. They're tough bastards."
"Frankly, I have other things to do right now. I would rather leave the planning to you and Atar. Now which one wants to go with me to Guild Hall? Or perhaps both of you should, if you indeed are unable to track the Rebels. But I find it disappointing."
I think I wiil be seeing Andran very soon. I don`t want to waste time, I had to justify the invasion before the end of this day!
"I think the Rebels will be more obvious once everyone leaves," Arvus says. "If they mean to make a fight of it, they will still be here when the war machine gets here. I'll put my probe droid on it, though. Maybe pinpoint anyone who's not leaving in that massive crowd..."
Arvus will relay instructions to his probe droid to watch the crowd for anybody heading away from the starports or at least not going towards them. Vague, I know, but oh well.

"I'll go with you to the Guild Hall. I want to see exactly who this Drakkon is for myself...and as the Rebels are here to help him? I could very well spot one of them there..." Rylis replies.
"I like your eagerness, you will go with me then. But be careful not to do anything hostile yet, act like my bodyguard.
Arvus, find those Rebels and inform me what they are doing. And if you have time, check how Osokans execute criminals."
"Well, as long as I get results I won`t complain. You can both join me for now, but there will be no blunders." -Commisar speaks as they leave for the Guild Hall.
"By the way, I remember that you have met my Aide, Lieutenant Sareitha, before? She is quite a gifted person, though not in the matters of violence."- Esgabath checks his Aide`s reaction to Arvus and Rylis.
"So, no ideas what Rebels may be up to assuming they returned to the city? What were they involved in last time you had their activities in check?"
Arvus gives a small nod of acknowledgement to Sareitha, but nothing more.
"If we're going to begin the invasion regardless of the political situation, they're going to be planning, I'll bet," Arvus says. "Last we saw them...they weren't doing anything but sneaking around looking for us. And then there was that whole blockade-running...thing. Kyle and Eerin, though...they're dead. Last Laugh was shot down over the jungle. Nobody could have survived that crash, and even if they did, the wildlife would have got 'em.
"That just leaves Rhys, who was with 'em when they found me, and the pilot of that starfighter that was shooting down TIEs...you know, does that count as an act of terrorism? Killing Imperial personnel? We could have him arrested for that, couldn't we?"
"That bounty on Kyle was enormous, but the Empire's putting up a pretty good bounty for anyone convicted of being a Rebel, right? Compensation, I think. Plus, we're being paid already.
"Right, that comm stuff, and the weapons. Eh, not sure how we could hunt that down, though. Maybe...find the Rebels, find the gear?"
"Good thinking Arvus. This is why one of the reasons I wanted you to find Rebels, they are still likely to be involved in illegal activities." -Commisar responds to his last statement, though there well may an element of contempt in his voice.
So do we have any evidence against Rhys? And frankly, we can assume there are more of them then you saw. One of observers, Senator Galahad.... I am sure he is here to oppose us. And Vader claims that Andran himself is Rebel traitor, though I have serious doubts about this claim. Have you noticed any links between the Rebels and those Senators?"
"None whatsoever, other than he was hanging around Kyle and Eerin. There's that pilot that went up with them, he came back down alive. And that outlandish girl who pointed me out to starport security..." Arvus shrugs. "No idea about Andran and Klinge-Faust, though. I just know that I'm not going to point fingers at a Senator unless I really can dig up something on him. If Vader says it's so, it's probably so, though."
Superb. General Coll will be riding at the head of the column in his AT-AT.
"This is Annihilator One, General Coll speaking," Coll says into the comlink, communicating with all in the Army that can hear him. "Report in once the column is in place. We shall be advancing shortly."
Coll requests that Commanders Janthis and Jaiden are among those transported on his AT-AT, standing with him in the AT-AT's cabin until they need to depart with their soldiers at the site of battle. He also requests that Lieutenant Bast (his Ally) ride with him as well, to aid with organization of and communication with the column.
