"Darth Banis, excuse my interruption" the Dark Jedi named Ru uttered, stepping into her private quarter with lowered head and a kneel. Darth Banis was positioned in a meditation state and turned her head, watching the dark robed Dark Jedi, whom also was second in command of the sith currently. She shook her head, sighed and gestured with her hand implicating him to speak.
"Why did you order the death of Bryan, and moreso why did you order protection to the hostile contact?" he questioned, keeping eyes closed and his head low. She smirked and stood up, starting to walk towards him. He wanted to look at her, but his intelligence declined the urge "You see, Ru, Bryan was labile. A risk" she started "He was a shink in my army, and very much so replaceable. You can pick any above average Dark Jedi and they will do his job just as well" she finished, turning her back on Ru and walked up to one of the windows in her chamber. Ru stood silent for a while, thinking.
"You didnt answer my second question" he finaly said, and she turned to him "You are to stand your allied close, but your enemies closer, Ru" She frowned, shaking her head "You should know that by now. You have been around me long enough" she said almost as if annoyed at him. He nodded and kept his head low "Yes, Banis. I humbly apologize for my thoughtlessness" he whispered and quickly turned, exiting the room.
Darth Banis turned to look out the window, keeping her hands behind her back and stared into the empty space. She took a few breaths and closed her eyes, going into a meditation state. To any untrained, it would look as if she was sleeping while standing up straight.
The words echoed trough her mind, the all-too common ones that the troops kept talking about. Why would Darth Banis desire to start a war against them all. They did not have the quantities to even fight two factions at once. That was what the soldiers knew, although what they did not know, was the fact that Darth Banis had planned ahead. Far ahead. So far, things were going better than she personally had hoped for. Bryan was gone, and they had already established relations at Endor.
It was only a matter of time now.

"Delta abort" the commander spoke trough the radio and got a buzzy affermative back. He then knelt to get better aim and he kept firing, even though he did not know exactly what he was shooting at. Random supressive fire. He then turned to Daran as he spoke, looking at the gesturing hand.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but your Jedi tricks wont work with me. My mental potency is that beyond Stormtroopers, sir" he said to Daran, ignoring his command. From his perspective, his mind, they had gotten orders from someone far superior this Jedi. The commandos would much rather die than take the order of someone trying to override orders from Darth Banis "If we leave, you will too" He said, although he did listen to the man concerning the cease of fire. He raised his hand and the commandos lowered their weapons, backing away from the zone. All but the commando commander whom had lowered his weapon and positioned himself on his knee just in front of Daran, facing the hostile contact. With his life, or death, he would protect the Jedi.
