"Well, the Galaxy must know that these people are not the violent extremists that the likes of Senator Nebb like to portray them as. They just wish to lives their lives as all are entitled to; maybe my goodwill will ensure this message is not obscured.
"Now Vodon, there are many things for you to do. But in future... you must have faith in me. There is a better way," he says, with much meaning.
Jelena nods, agreeing with Dooku concerning his first lines. She wonders what Dooku might be implying with his second piece.
"Can I expect the craft that the Senatorial delegation arrived in will be refueled and the men surrounding it removed?" Jelena asks. "I am a little loathe to allow Senator Nebb and his ilk to ride with us."
Jelena can depart feeling confident in her negotiating skills, even though really it was Dooku that resolved the issue totally. She contemplates how things would have gone had she been taken hostage.
Before she leaves Vodon's place, she tells Dooku that if he needs any assistance with his efforts, Jelena will gladly help.
Well done Jelena!
Roan will also thank Dooku, but also ask him what he is doing out on this planet, excessively politely.
He does appreciate his influence, but this whole instance leaves a bit of a bad taste in his mouth, with Sienar's plan apparently coming to fruition, the intrusion of Nebb, and everything else.
"But still doing the will of the Council, I see?" says Dooku. "Rescuing the likes of Nebb has a moral imperative behind it, I know, but the Council is entrapped by a Senate that no linger benefits the people they purport to represent. It needs a complete break if you want to be free of that corruption."

Time for you guys to report in to the Council! Anything to say?
Yes, they have already received advance notice of Nebb's complaints. He could be trouble.
Dooku is aligning himself with all manner of miscontents; it's his pattern of late. But the Nebb thing could have been a far greater issue. Things like this may happen again, and they need you guys to be more careful.
They inform/remind you that the entire Lamella sector is the subject of a giant anti-corruption investigation (which is why Ascar's apprentice used a moon there as a hideaway in the first campaign- the legal complications caused by the investigation mean that Republican officials, including Jedi cannot enter without sinking the case) and Nebb is after any weapon he can use against the Jedi to make that investigation more difficult. The Lamellans have long been trying to make it seem personal from us- even a racial thing; there has been no Lamellan Jedi in millennia.
