I know that everyone here is worth their merit and has proven so a thousand times over," Janthis continues, "I have fought and fought alongside similar creatures in the wookies sir." Pausing for effect, "I've seen a Wookie take on a dozen droids unarmed he tore them to pieces before falling to his wounds these primitives I feel should not warrant underestimation sir".
"Then feel free to speak freely," says Atar, "and tell me what is on your mind."-
"Ah, Senator," says Andran, "glad you could join us!"
Senator Galahad has just entered the room, Melkor, making him the next most senior person present after Andran (not counting Imperials, of course).

Say fighting them in the streets with rested men air support without hinderence from politics, but we both know ideal events rarely happen although I will say this the sooner we can get our troops on the ground moving the less time they have to dig in. I don trust this agreement I feel something is wrong."
"I see," says Atar. "And what would you prefer to happen, Commander? In an ideal situation?"
"Never mind my take on this," says Atar. "Commander?"
Travis steps forwards and hands you a datapad. You see his unblinking eyes, sizing you up.
"This pad shows a location to the North of the city. It is a clearing in the jungle some 80 square miles large, though the boundaries are not even. Approximate time to bring forces from there to the city would be about 18 hours."

"Keep it," says Atar."Return to your ship, Commander. Then, take a landing transport, and take yourself and your men down to that location. Secure it, and the report back to the taskforce. Make no other communications. There are Rebels on Lanzar and they are notorious for signal intercepts."

(I don't like this...the staff of the Victorious are planning to take us all down so they can rise, I know it...)"Glad you could join us, indeed," General Coll says, giving Galahad a reproachful look. "You could have just come up with us, you know."
Ush, I shall ignore Galahad for now and talk to some lesser staff to discover the names of all Senators that are observers. Can I recognize any name ? I would also ask about the offices of other Comitte Senators, in worst case I will talk with the secretaries.
Wouldn`t it be insulting if I don`t meet with Drakkon now?
