The woman remained behind the control console as sweat poured down her face. She slid sliders into position and flipped switches as different screens powered on. Light fixtures around the room began to hum with electricity and a red light on a camera nearby blinked and indicated that it was ready to record. From where Ender stood, he gave a nod to the woman through the glass and she slowly pressed the button to begin the broadcast.

Holos in the station and households in the sector would flick on as they would across other police stations when the emergency tone abruptly pierced any sound that tried to combat it. Two words appeared on the screen and slid in and out of the frame, EMERGENCY BROADCAST. When the sound finally ceased and the words cut away, it revealed a room that was lit red in the background in certain sections. It illuminated the room enough for the podium in the front and the Ranger's symbol and Police crest hung proudly there and were visible to anyone who watched. There was a man that stood behind the podium, his black clothes almost making him disappear in the darkness but his eyes shone a stark and deep gold, reflecting the red lights and made him stand out. "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening." The entire was thing was a mockery."Rangers have claimed we are terrorists and criminals that deserve the full justice of the law and that they are barely able to discern the difference between us and the Jedi. Despite this, they are seen working together, Rangers using them for their benefit or as guard dogs. Even now as I speak, one is outside of these doors attempting to stop this broadcast. If they are lying about this, what else could they be lying about? What do they let the Jedi slip away with in return for their service?"To illustrate his point, the sound of blaster fire and screaming could be heard outside of the frame before the footage was pulled up of a Jedi entering the building and activating his lightsaber from a security camera. "Let me help clear the confusion. There is no difference between us, where do you believe we came from? We are cut from the same cloth but the Rangers choose to ignore that."
"I wish to reiterate what was said by those very ones we expect to solemnly uphold their sacred code. No one is above the law. Well, I will show you us upholding ours." Ender pushed the podium over with his hand and bright lights flicked on. On the feed, it showed the captain on his knees in front of two Rangers on their knees as well. All of them looked terrible and seemed to be suspended where they were as they had no restraints on them. The Sith stepped by one of the Rangers and he would visibly shake with his veins becoming pronounced but was still chained to the ground by an invisible force. Ender was completely revealed in the light but the only thing actually visible of him was the slit for his eyes that still glowed their stark gold. "Justice must be served."
He drew out his vibro-sword as both Rangers simultaneously leaned forward with their necks extended. They struggled even worse and shook until their faces were red but they were too weak to resist. Ender put the blade beneath their throats and took a few steps, the sound of flesh being torn and gurgling echoing in the feed. He stopped behind the Captain and grabbed the front of his hair and lifted his face up so he stared into the camera. "Trys Aran, you have declared war on us. Here is our declaration to you and to any Jedi that chooses to balance their fate in the hands of the precious Rangers." The Captain closed his eyes as he accepted his own fate and knew what was next.
Ender placed the blade in front of his throat before he slammed his knee into the man's spine and yanked the weapon back. There was a squelch before a thud could be heard and he held up the head of the Captain directly in front of the camera. "You cannot run from us. You cannot hide from us. You cannot fight us." The lights shut off, illuminating the room once again in the emergency light as the only thing visible was his yellow eyes, "We are coming." The feed cut off then and left any holos affected with a black screen.

When the feed ended, Ender dropped the head of the captain on the floor before sheathing his blade. What he said wasn't completely true but it would spread like wildfire and the word would reach the Rangers and start to plant doubts in people's heads. He reached out in the force immediately as he made his way to the door, knowing everyone inside the station saw his message and that it ended, It's time to leave. OOC: Open to reactions only.
