"Senator Organa here to see Admiral Ackbar." The door slid quietly open, beckoning her to enter. Leia strode into the office space of Admiral Ackbar, to find him sitting at his desk, studying a map of certain star systems.
He glanced up at Leia and deactivated his hologram. "May I be of assistance to you, Senator?" he asked Leia, his head bobbing slightly as he spoke.
She nodded as she took a seat opposite him. "Yes you may. Admiral, I was recently informed that you were preparing to begin an inspection of the war factories that have been recently brought back into service through the senate'sdecisionn."
He nodded, his large eyes swiveling around. "I am indeed, Senator."
Brought her hands onto the table. "I was wondering, Admiral, if I could come along on this inspection."
Ackbar tilted his head slightly, the universal movement of confusion. "You may of course senator, however I am confused by your motives."
Leia clasped her hands. "If I am correct, this inspection team already has a strong military presence." She paused, gesturing to Ackbar. "However, I believe that it could benefit from a political presence as well."
Ackbar waited for Leia to finish speaking before he responded. "Very well. You are very welcome to come along, Senator." Ackbar reactivated his hologram projection. "As you can see here, we will be beginning the inspection the Kuat system. We will then travel from the core to the colonies, finishing the Inspection at the Balmorra system."
Leia nodded, urging him to continue. "We will be taking with us one Nebulon-B frigate, and a squadron of X-wings." Ackbar squinted. "Red squadron, I believe." He deactivated the projection and looked back up at Leia. "If you wish to come along, Senator, please proceed towards the main hangar in one rotation."
Leia rose from her chair. "Thank you, Admiral. I will be glad to come along. I will begin preparing immediately."
With that, she slowly made her way out of Ackbar's office, and she headed to her personal quarters.
Moments later, she arrived and made her way inside. "Threepio!" she called, turning around In a circle to try and get a glimpse at the golden droid.
He called out from another room, and Leia heard him shuffling towards her. "I am here, mistress Leia!"
She turned to him as she came into view. "Threepio, have you gotten any word from Han or Luke?" she paused. "They were supposed to be here a while ago."
Threepio shook his head slightly. "I'm afraid not, Senator." He paused to think. "However, I am confident that if anything was wrong, Captain Solo would contact you."
Leia sighed. She hoped that he was right. "Well Threepio, if they make any contact, please inform me as soon as possible." She glanced at her bedroom. "And please begin packing for me. I leave tomorrow on a Inspection of the newly activated factories."
Threepio dipped his head down in a curt nod. "Yes, Senator."
