*quickly presses buttons to get CorSec to investigate*

*slams fist when Pernin cuts the transmission*


KELLIN: Pompous idiot.


*holds head in hand then prepares speech.*

*Walks unsteadily over to Kellin's Aide*

I must see the Chancellor, the republic is in great danger

*The aide runs in to Kellin shouting "she's back"*

*through the open door into Kellin's office, the Chancellor, Naboo senator, CorSec members and their commander turn around*


*Manuso walks forward*

MANUSO: Are you all right?

*Falls to her knees*

Senator Manuso, thank the gods, the republic is in so much trouble, I was kidnapped by a group calling it's self the Hammer of the Empire, they want to overthrow the republic and install it's own views of 'peace' by any and all means possible,

*Starts to cry*

*couple of CorSec troops pick Cobal up gently lead her to a chair*


KELLIN: Hammer of the Empire? *thinks to self*

*Manuso looks at him then turns to Cobal*

MANUSO: I think you need to calm down first. Here: *the Naboo Senator passes on a cup of coffeine from the secretary*


We were discussing your situation when you arrived. Quite frankly it did seem as though this was perpatrated by Kamino.

*Accepts the coffeine and drinks it down in one*

No it wasn't Kamino, these Hammer people want to rid the republic of a corrupt government and hand it over to the people with themselves in charge of course, I must admit I didn't listen to a lot of it and their leader Vezis is a fine politician, talks a lot but dosen't say anything worth listening to, present company excepted of course,

*Turns to the Cor'sec troops*

I believe their last known address was the lava planet of Quetya, they seen very determined to cause the republic as much trouble as they can

KELLIN: *looks to CorSec people* Check it.

*they nod and leave*


MANUSO: We did get a report of a Kamino ship visiting yourship.

After we heard you'd gone we recieved /this/:

*plays the Kamino message addressed to Manuso*

Could have been someone checking my ship out, I did send a distress call out to Ambassador Ma'rol as well as yourself seeing as I was doing business with both of you, as for your message Senator it looks like he was seeking conformation that I was missing and not just abandoning my role as peace maker.

When are you and Kamino going to get passed your petty differences and realise there are more planets with problems out there, if the Hammer hadn't let me go I'd have been stuck with them for years while you blamed eachother for kidnapping me, never thinking that for one moment you may want join forces to try and find me, at this moment in time I think the Hammer have the right idea

KELLIN: The first thing I did was try to find you and notify Pernin.


We're at war with Kamino, you're the one we're borrowing to get this peace sorted, you disappear then Kamnio mysteriously asks the Naboo Senator to talk peace negotiations while a Kaminoan ship miraculously appears at your ship after your disappearance!

Do you not think that slightly suspicious, Ms. Cobal?

Not really no, considering Ma'rol and his wife were/are friends of mine, I know Anoon would come looking for me and anyone who picked up that distress call might have come looking, if the Mandalorian's came looking would you accuse them of kidnap and warmongering, on second thoughts don't answer that, at least Ma'rol IS looking for peace and is trying other means to negotiate, you seem to want to prolong the war for some reason.

Thank you for notifying my father

*Turns to Manuso*

Has someone notified him that I have returned?

MANUSO: Not yet, no.


KELLIN: Your friend who knows you are the intermediate yet proposes doing it himself! *snorts*


*flops into chair and sighs*

Are you still capable of carrying out the planned negotiation?

You were on the way there before your ordeal, I believe?


I'll notify Pernin for you.

*Gasps in shock*

You want me to continue now?, is it at all possible to have a couple of days to recover from my ordeal

*Turns to Manuso*

Madam is it possible to tell Ambassador Ma'rol I have returned before this stand off gets any uglier

MANUSO: A message could be sent from a from an overseer?

*She looks at Kellin who nods*

Take a few days rest. Then continue with negotiations. *she smiles*




*Kellin rests back in chair*

Thank you Madam

*Bow's and leaves*

I will return in 3 days, I will take your orders to Ma'rol

*Manuso nods to Kellin who returns the gesture*

*The Senator leaves*

\/\Chancellor I am going to Kamino to give Ma'rol your ultimatum, can you remind me of what it was please\/\

KELLIN: You were greeing to Cerea as a negotiation point, if the Cereans permit it of course.

< *agreeing >

\/\Thank you Chancellor\/\
