Corellian Senate Office
Hanna City, Chandrilla
@Rector_Ras
"Senator Hesse I am talking about the very security of the Republic herself, not just from the Sith threat, but from threats within as well. You're a very skilled senator, Owen, and I think we could work nicely together. I've seen your voting record, I know you love the Republic as much as I do. ""Security is obviously a very important part of our jobs as senators, but I cant say I know exactly what you are referring to. Are we speaking of crime, of scandals or the security of republic space itself?"
No one just pages a senator for a routine security question. You can get that out of my voting record or an inquiry to my office. Krass is a shark and he thinks I'm a little fish waiting to be snatched up for something. The problem is he is mistaken, I am a fisherman and that fish he's chasing is my bait. He can swim around it all he wants but until he bites I wont make a move. Of course then I have to chose whether I reel in and have a nice lunch or if I jump into the water for a nice swim. Neither are very appealing right now, coming here might have been a mistake.
Krass steepled his fingers and listened as the man spoke. He was encouraged by the speech on the Sith, but a little disappointed by his opinion on the Bounty Hunters Guild. Regardless, he would still be of use to them.I pause before answering. Krass doesn't want to leak, its a real secrete. The only real action now is the truth, nothing lost if the truth isn't what he wants to hear but possibly much gained if it is.
"The sith could be a threat to Arkania. We don't sit in the core with many of the prominent senators, we do need to keep them in check. Internally we need to keep stability. We cant afford to divide right now. Crime can be hardened out, although I do hope we don't actually enlist bounty hunters to be the police as has been going around the senate. What is it you want my skill for? We both know I'm not going to agree to anything in the dark Krass."
This is where the shark either bites, or swims away. I do hope the bite is a good one, he's peeked my interest.
Before Owen could reach the door Krass stood and spoke,"So you lead a group who goes behind procedure to get what you want no matter what?"
This is the kind of stuff you don't want public. No wonder Krass was secretive, I could make it rain hard with this information. Of course I won't do that. No this is the good stuff, you get favors out of it. Blackmail, the most lovely present.
This is where I stand up look him dead in the eye and say "I'm leaving this office and you best forget I was here. Well, at least till I call for your vote to not expose this group of yours." I pause then turn around and finish "Be carful Krass, shame if your caught and I wasn't the one to spill" I walk out wondering whether this information was really worth the risk of being in that office.
