h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I entered this building with my bodyguard and my son.. last time i entered here on official buisness i had nearly five times the number of men armed with blasters.. yet on this occasion my men entered with lightsabres.. and as we all know lightsabres are allowed in this building, and have been so since the old republic... as for the ultimatum i found in bizarre to convict my planet of a crime without hearing Kamino's say on the subject.... senators is this republic justice? to begin a war without hearing from those you declare war on?

KELLIN: This was when you made an official appointment yes?


We're not going to ASK if we can have a war with your state!

*couple of murmurred laughs*

The Kamino AMBASSADOR arrives in armed guard on Ryloth and has a firefight? This is not the act of a diplomat!

I must have missed it in the history books when the Yuuzhan Vong put a price on the Jedi heads to have Head of State Fey'la arrest them.

Very welcome they were. Oh and of course something called the Galactic Empire. Do we remember Palpatine? I doubt it since you could not follow the request of a state trying to prevent galactice conflict when you marched into this building.

*laughs*

You asked to have those responsable for the crime brought here or there would be war, but tell me kellin, how am i suppose to do that if i have no idea who was responsable for this?

Senators you have been led a merry dance by Kellin and his jedi friend.. was it not Tyswi who came to you and told you that i was there? was it not Tyswi who proudly presented dead bodies? was it not Tyswi who is still wanted for questioning regard an incident on Kamino where several security guards and the Prime Minister were all killed?

Do NOT speak to me of terrorism.. the only terrorist i know is called annat tyswi.. and he will gladly bring this galaxy to total war to statisfy his will to see me dead.. he has no qualms of how many Republic soldier and Kamino soldiers die in the process

BOTHAWAI: Why would the Chancellor have a Jedi Knight as a friend if he's openly against the Jedi?


KELLIN: I must apologise Mannan, I was foolish enough to think the Kamino representative would be privy to the knowledge concerning himself over his state and his leader.

If you did not no *chuckles* then why didn't you LOOK instead of storming the Republic capital?

Senator if you are a chancellor hungring after the power of the old chancellors a soothsayer is exactly what you need.. jedi or no..

How could i have gone to look on Ryloth chancellor? i was accused of going to ryloth and landing troops.. i had no wish to inflame relations so i came straight here to answer.. for that i have half my bodyguard dead with no casualties incured in return.... your officers gunned down my men without a word..

< Actually there were CorSec casualties >


KELLIN: And as the accused you thought the best action was to walk into the government building? Where the represenatives go. While you were requested to hand over the guilty after a time period. Instead you immediately storm this building.


You are either a fool or a terrorist.

I do the best for the nations I represent at the behest of these people. *motions arm around room to indicate senators* At which point have I had warships skulking in orbit or foreign terrartory?

You asked for the guilty? WHO ARE THE GUILTY? i have done nothing and came here in order to investigate why Kamino was under threat from a power hungry chancellor. If the good senators would reveiw the tapes from my enterance you will notice that i enter the building and sit down.. i teach my son how to build a lightsabre.. i am then confronted by Annat Tyswi and was accused of war mongering..
The hammerhead entered Republic space with permission.. i hope the good chancellor is aware that it was only after several weeks that he asked for the ship to leave republic space.. which i add it did

Senators.. this chancellor of yours knows his term of office ends soon.. he knows that by starting a war he can retain power.. and when a vengful jedi comes to him with an easy option he has grabbed it with both arms.. he has grabbed it with such readiness that he has failed to grasp the facts.. having reveiwed the data i find it no different from that of all clone legionnaires produced on Kamino since the clone wars.. do you realise how many clones could and have been made since the clone wars? and do you realise that only a small force of these are under the control of Kamino? the equipment is the most commonly issued weapon throughout the galaxy for soldiers.. and as for the uniforms.. well any budding jedi knight with a well financed chancellor to back him could afford them

*sits down*

KELLIN: *waits for any murmurs to subside*


Would any Senator here like to mention a time when they have built blasters with their children on this building's floor? *looks around*

Would they like to admit to having ordered clones for battles in Republic territories?


They didn't come from Khomm. They didn't come from a undead Thrawn or Palpatine. They came from Kamino. We'd NOTICE a clone army building.



Have any of you Senators allowed me to create a clone army? Has the economy took a severe dip?
War is a last resort for us /former Jedi/ Mannan. Master Jedi Th'chi hasn't presented us with a diplomatic solution even though I have said she may.

*Moves closer to Ma'rol so she can whisper*

Don't forget the files from Kellin's office I have and I have copies

Chancellor i am from Kamino.. no one does clonning like the Kaminoans.. theres a slight difference the sequencing that only a kaminoan would recognise.. had you asked us we would have informed you.. having reveiwed you data ive noticed that the supreme chancellor has agreed with his war mongering ally and took the easy road to warfare..

*laughs*

And your quite right chancellor no one here has allowed YOU to create a clone army.. but a knight could.. and you've quickly marshelled the armies of the republic to your conquerers banner!

*Stands up*

Because I was never given the bloody oppotunity that's why, it took me 3 days of arguing before you let me have the diplomatic privliges and by then you had Ma'rol locked up and Annat Tay'swi was gone, any diplomat would have found that hard going no matter how good they were

KELLIN: Yes we must congratulate you on your ability to build this army.

You know of any other road to warfare beyond us protecting this state?



*points to Marol with palm of his hand and looks to the others*

We see the level that this former Jedi, a warlord Ambassador will go to make a mockery of this room.

Play time with daddy sessions. SLEEPING in this room. You are the accused yet you will gladly mock the court.

KELLIN:*to Cobal*

Master Jedi we still await your diplomatic solution, if you have it please present it to us.

I sorry Chancellor I don't have a diplomatic solution because events have moved so quickly and I have been bound in so much red tape I feel like a masochist and you a dominatrix chancellor

*The senators titter at the refreshing undiplomatic terminology*

As soon as this farce of a show trial is over I will get down to the serious acts of stopping this war before it starts, but I think there are some in this play that wish the war to continue

*Turns to the senators*

Do you wish this war to continue, you have the facts, do you want to suspend this hearing so I can get around the negotiating table with all concerned or do you want to see 2 fleets of battle cruisers battle it out over what will be left of your homes, because they will not care who gets stepped on in their quest for vengance, either side

Thank you for hearing me

*Sit's down*

That is my point chancellors.. this army did not originate from Kamino.. we use superior cloning apartus to that which was used.. plus the refinement in aspects of the sequencing suggests that it was a small order.. not the superior refinement in all areas as seen in the bulk orders for kaminoan clones..
I offered Kaminos full resources to the republic.. i pledged my life in service to the Republic.. and in return o am labelled a terrorist

I am afraid to say i have investiagte into the Chancellors office, and recordings of conversations and it makes for disturbing reading. Annat Tyswi brought all this data personally.. no one else was involved.. and the first reaction of Tyswi was that conflict was inevitable... what is kellins reaction? does he review this data personally? does he check it independantly? does he ask Kamino if it matches any of our clones?

*looks around the room*

NO HE DOES NOT! he makes a farce of this senate by manipulating data, and in turn is threatening to have the galaxy plunged into war yet again..

i ask the senate to vote on this war.. if the senate thinks that it is justified then so be it... but Kamino and myself are innocent and innocent blood will forever be on your hands

CORELLIAN SENATOR:

If, as you suggest, this is all the work of a rogue Jedi, may I ask, Mr Ambassador, how you found out he had /secret/ meetings with the Chancellor?

Certainly , I went looking for the information, I have talents the others don't have

*Jo'tra enters and watches from the upper galleries*

*Senator smiles disarmingly*

I asked the Ambassador how he found this information Miss, not for an appraisal of your talents.

*he sees cobal defending Marol*

~~Cobal, we have been recalled to Yavin 4... why are you befoer the senate?~~
