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

Okay cobal.. See that Anoon is kept safe..

~~And if im found guilty.... dont stay on Coruscant long.. i know the admiral~~

*lays back on the bunk and pulls out a cigarra from a hidden packet, and lights it*

I will contact Anoon as soon as I'm able

~~~Don't worry, I'll start making arrangements to move important documents to the White Star as soon as I leave~~~

*The Guard opens the door and Co'bal leaves*

*CorSec guard opens and enters the Annat cell and sits at a convienient table*

*stubs out the cigarra*

*swings his legs to sit on the edge of the bunk*

GUARD: Do you know why you are being questioned, master jedi?

I've got a few ideas.

<>

GUARD: Which are?

You're supposed to know why you're questioning me.

GUARD: *smiles*

"Anoon Birkil Mannan is the Ambassador's wife. She's mentally the weakest of all of us, Mannan shows great influence over her. If he whistles, she'll come running.
The other is Co'bal Th'chi. She's an upstart. Used to be a bounty hunter, now she fancies herself as a diplomat. Whatever the council decides, she'll do the opposite. If I suggest something, she'll ignore it. She's brought at least one 'reformed' Dark Jedi into the order and I trust her slightly less than I trust Mannan."

Now you have implicated four jedi including yourself in threats to the Republic.

< "I haven't discussed it with them. The order is split anyway. Two of the order may well be collaborating with Mannan, two of us are directly aiding the republic and the rest are neutral." >

*smiles*

No, I said that two Jedi may be supporting the warlord of Kamino. Myself and another volunteered for Republic Service. That's two people implicated. Not four.

GUARD: But you could be lying. You have to understand that we need to follow this up.

*shrugs*

Do your job, that's fine. Check with CorSec, a young Jedi named Mihar should have applied to join the war efforts. I spoke to the Chancellor myself with regards to volunteering.

As for the others, try and locate Co'bal and Anoon. I'm willing to stake my reputation on one or both of them having visited Mannan, and at least one of them now being active either in Kamino territory or on one of their ships.

GUARD: *scoffs* We are at war with Kamino. We cannotjustalk up and ask to check their ships!


What makes you implicate your fellow Jedi?

My loyalties are to the Jedi Order and to the Republic. Birkil told me herself she has no loyalty to the republic, and yet remains loyal to the Kamino warlord. That, in my eyes at least means that she is a threat to galactic security. As for Th'chi, she's still a bounty hunter at heart, and she has sided with Mannan over the order before.

*sighs*

They are my comrades, but it is not in the nature of the Jedi to let sentiment over-ride what is best for the galaxy.

GUARD: Do you have evidence?



~~~Taaaaayyyyswwiiiiii~~~~

GUARD: More info on 'Br'Kil' and 'Th'chi'?


~~~~~Taaaaaaayyyyswii......~~~~~

*looks shaken*

What? Not concrete proof, but this place must have surveillance to see if they have visited the 'ambassador'. And you can always question him, or ask the leader of my order where they are located.

GUARD: A Cobal Th'chi has been to visit the terrorist suspect.

GUARD: And this leader isone... *checks notes* Master puppet?
