(Indeed...Jamie is talking in-game, Vlad, let him be unique in his cloneness... 😛 )"Fine by me, General," Coll says in a nonchalant tone. "General Coll, out."
Coll turns to Jaiden. "Just waiting on Esgabath..."

"I agree, but I would rather keep on the safe side and not be the one to blame if something goes wrong...that's how this Army works..." Coll says, finishing his shutdown of the comm unit.
"I did," General Coll says. "Before the Emperor revised the Republic into what is now our glorious Empire. Captains Persh and Narom Coll, proud servants to justice. They were killed when their Star Destroyers were shot down over Hypori, due to the poor judgment of the Jedi they served under...General Ki-Adi-Mundi, I think it was."

"Yes, but my brothers could have survived that incident," Coll says, grimly. "That Jedi General's orders led to their being shot down by the forces of General Grievous. Pah! I could have avoided such losses. Hypori would have been a Republic victory, had I been a General then...but alas, I was but fifteen."
The advance team, wandering the city, isn't finding much of interest. Like many of these primitive cities, it has been accumulated rather than grown, though one area at one side is clearly the oldest, made only of stone buildings. The city is under continual guard as a result of the natural hostile front, the jungle, that surrounds it.
Inside it's not too secure; Osokans walk around much as lifeforms do anywhere. You can identiify the important locations pretty quickly then- the only ones they are guarding.
The Senate mission is permanently located inside the Main Guild Hall, where Drakkon himself resides. If they are not there, the various people working for the Senators are in their ships, which have pride of place in the starport. Ships continue to take off and land, oblivious to any coming trouble.
You don't seem to sense any immediate tension. You had gathered that this place was a warzone- frankly, you cannot see any evidence of recent destruction.

General Coll grimaces. "Not quite. I had two younger siblings, a sister and a brother. My sister was a member of the Republic Youth, my brother...a Jedi Padawan. Oh, how I hate him, that selfish fool. I am glad Lord Vader put an end to him..."
General Coll produces Byron's lightsaber hilt from a pouch at the back of his belt.
"I gutted this thing years ago. He used it to kill my parents and my sister. A disgrace to our family name."

"The jedi, brother or sister, father or mother, are all fools. They will always end up being shot down by the Empire. And it's time that the Rebels realise that. I don't remember of having any relatives in the Clone Wars. Infact, I don't even remember my parents. I was an orphan, and I was sent for training in the Imperial Army from a very young age." Jaiden replied.
Hearing the Intercom, Jaiden smirks. "Shall we get going then?"
said Jaiden, turning around to his troops, and giving them a signal. They double checked all their weapons and stood straight in a line.
Staring into the depths of space, from his preferred spot upon the Bridge of the Deviator, Trebeis thought simply of how much this mission meant. Depending on how foolishly Nidar handles himself, it could quite easily spell disaster from Attilian's budding career. Observing the still bare, nail-beds on his right hand. The Captain silently made an oath. I will not let this foolish, Commodore destroy what I have worked so hard to rebuild. If I sense anything, I will stab him . Before he is ever able to dip his own dagger into my MY back. Noticing the Approach of his Second in Command, Lieutenant Commander Rhodes, he firmly issues some orders. "Rhodes. I want everyone at their stations, or en-route NOW! I am not positive, but nearly everything surrounding this entire plan and operation smells suspicious. And, if anything does go wrong-" He paused, drawing his thumb across his neck "It will be you and I that get the axe. Now, go follow your orders."
Rhodes nodded a tad too quickly, and hurried off.
