*Kellin enters with Ofmag and taps into holonet checking first to look presentable*

*Ofmag's commlink bleeps*

/\/Captain. A group of armed Kamino soldiers has entered the Senate. Thought you'd be interested. Tayswi out.\/\

*Kellin watches through Holocam as Ofmag runs off*

*Kellin cleans himself up then sends a holomessage across the Net to all Republic states and areas individually sending a feed to each of the Senators across secure lines of communication and in all languages*



*he sits*

KELLIN: /\/-Friends and citizens of the New Republic.

As you may have seen on the Holonews, I sent an ultimatum to the idependent system of Kamino in which they had six days to hand over to CorSec the persons responsible for the attack on Ryloth this week gone or it would be considered an act of war.

The Kamino government responded quickly. They sent an armed guard led by the ring leader of the Ryloth attack, Marol Mannan, their 'Ambassador' straight into the Senate building.

*outssde crowds stopped to watch gasp*

Luckily no Senators were present at the time, though we were, earlier this day and the results could have been devastating. Luckily the quickactions of CorSecsubdued thisthreat butat a heavy cost. Over half our people were slain... As such

*Kellin pauses and looks down then back to the camera*

the Republic is at war with the Kamino system. -\/\

*Jumps out of the Cab and enters the building*

*Leaves his weapons in care of a CorSec guard and passes through the security checks into the Office*

*waits to be noticed by the secretary*

*follows Annat with Casey, also handing his weapons to the guard*

We'll tell the Chancellor our intentions, then he'll probably refer us to CorSec to sign up.

*stands, expression neutral and hands behind his back*

*waits patiently, his expression passive before turning to Annat*

You think CorSec will take me?

Hopefully we'll be assigned to act as Jedi advisors to the armed forces. They have no reason not to take you.

*Walks in and up to the Secretary*

I'm Co'bal Th'chi, I have some information the Chancellor requested of me

*Notices Mihar and Annat*

Hey look what the wookie dragged in

*smiles at Co'bal*

Good day to you to.

*moves in close*

There's been some 'problems' with Anoon... You need to speak to her.</>

*steps back*

I trust you and Craxus have the temple up and ready?

If you can get Anoon to come here I will speak to her if she want's to listen,

*Sighs*

This war is going to seem like a picnic compared to Anoons problems

Craxus is installing a force field and a force shield in the temple as we speak, Craxus and I are the only ones who can gain accesss to the sith database, the landing pad is in use, everything is ready for whenever you need it

*Scratches floor with her boot tip*

erm, you're not going to like what I'm going to say next but I'm going to tell Kellin I'm remaining neutral in this conflict, I will work with thhe republic and the Kaminoens to try and resolve this through diplomatic channels, I know the Kaminoens better than anyone and I don't want war despite spending a good part of my life figghhting for money, but I want to help find a peaceful solution to this and the only way I can is volunteer for diplomatic service.

*nods*

I'm not criticising anyone for staying neutral Co'bal, and I don't lust after war. But my talents lie on the battlefield, and if that's where I can best serve the Republic... I hope you can reach a diplomatic solution, I just can't see it happening.

Anoon has renounced the Republic and stayed on Yavin, Eland is organising the defence, and Ancha, Jo'tra, Chnei and Anoon's child have relocated to a neutral planet to wait for news. If worst comes to worst, they will rebuild.

Anoon is more than welcome to stay with us and so are the others, I'm sure there is more to this, I think Ma'rol has corrupted the Kaminoen Government, put his sympathisers in key places, the Kaminoens I knew were peacefull, I know thhey turn out armies to order but that is what they do, if one life is spared by my diplomatic efforts then I will be happy

Do you think the Temple can be used as a place of sancuart for thhose who don't want to be involved

Not on Coruscant. If diplomacy fails, the Capital is a target, as is Yavin.

*Secetary nods to Cobal then looks to Annat*

I wish to speak to Chancellor Kellin, with regards to the Jedi stance on the war.
