Marius and two of his commandos arrived on Hapes practically at the same time as a republic team. The two of them were supposed to inspect the location at which the negotiations would be held. The room was large and contained an equally large table made of wood found on kashyyk. It had only two large double doors, which wouldn't only make for an impressive entry for both factions but also limited the amount of directions an attacker could come from. He agreed with the republic officers that six guards of each faction would be allowed in the room. Two at their respective entrances, two behind their leaders and the last two further down the table. Revan didn't want the Omega Unit to take this role because he didn't want his most secretive unit to stand in the open for hours being watched by republic represantatives and soldiers alike. For that reason they decided to use the imperial guard in their shiny presentation uniforms. Marius and his unit would stay in the vicinity of the meeting anyways but undercover or as bodyguards for Revan and high ranking imperials. The Jedi and their imperial peers wouldn't be allowed to carry their light sabers during the negotiations themselves but they were allowed to carry them outside the conference room. "This will be dangerous but also historical" Marius's republic counterpart claimed. "There has never been a negotiation like this between jedi and sith like this. This many force users in one room, especially once that aren't particularly fond of each other can really mess up someones day." Omega-actual laughed "Especially if you are responsible for their safety" he added. "Dojamin" the republican said extending his hand, "I don't think we've met." "Marius," he answered "and no I don't think we've met at least not knowingly" he grinned. Dojamins comm blinked and he excused himself stepping a few meters away. "It seems one of them is already here" he said after returning. Marius raised an eyebrow. "Commander Shan is the first of the jedi to arrive, she is already in the system" he explained to him. Omega-Actual nodded "Her ship has been beat pretty bad over Yavin and was spotted at rendelli afterwards he said." They started walking beside each other like soldiers from the two sides hadn't for quite some years. "Word is that the emperor himself requested her presence" dojamin said. "Is it now?" Marius asked smiling. "Have you ever met him?" "Who the emperor? No, not that I recall" Marius claimed, "I'm just a security chief like you" he stated. They walked a few more corridors further until dojamin proposed the two of them could be welcoming commander shan together. Marius accepted knowing that nay real security chief would be giddy at the prospect of being the first one to greet a diplomat from the other side of such a conflict.

The MC four had some difficulties opening the main hatch of the ship, a problem that hadn't arisen prior to their arrival on Hapes because they hadn't had the chance to leave the vessel anyways. Now it was decided that it was probably the quickest and least embarrassing to just use the back hatch. As they entered sun light for the first time in several weeks Bastila could almost feel the fresh air rushing into her lungs instead of the reprocessed air they had been breathing. The hapan welcome comitee understood why they had to use the other hatch and all seemed to be going great until she saw Marius in the outfit of an imperial security employee failing miserably to contain his smirk. "Something wrong security chief?" she asked him harshly as she walked right passed him. The republic security officer did his best to catch up to her while Omega-Actual stayed a behind watching her leave for a few moments before himself following them inside, pulling out his comm on the way back in.

"My emperor, Omega-Actual has reported from Hapes, it seems like commander shan has arrived. He additionally sends footage of the destroyer that was used against us on several occasions. Intelligence has identified the ship class now. The Mon-Calamari class, the ships of this class all have these cloak generators aboard. They have a mark on their hulls, MC standing for the ship type and then a number to distinguish them. The ship currently in the Hapan cluster is named MC four." Revan nodded pleased with the courier "supply the footage of the ship to my engineers aboard the devastator as well as imperial intelligence." He confirmed the order and was about to leave when he got a notification on his holo pad. "It seems my Lord" he begun turning around again "as if the Hapans want to deny the devastator and all star destroyer class ships entry into their territory. They claim and I quote The firepower presented by an imperial ship of the size of the devastator is not necessary nor wished within our borders, especially not during negotiations. This regulation is not only to ensure safety for all participants and our citizens, we additionally hope this will cool down relations between the empire and the republic. Hapan security forces will deny access to any republic ships of similar size." He finished. Revan growled "They must be joking the republic doesn't have ships of this size. The republic will have asked them to do this, the Hapes wouldn't risk annoying me this much if they didn't think they could get something out of this. Ok we will have to go along with this" he said more to himself. "Tell them we accept the request but I want no cloaked destroyers there in return. The damaged one can stay I would love people to see it on the holo net. And have intelligence find out who asked the hapans to do this and what they hope to gain from it."

Marius had waited for a few minutes after the republic security chief had left Shan's quarters before he knocked on the door. "What do you want?" was the first thing she said after opening the door. "I wanted to meet the commander of that wreck of a ship outside" he grinned. She considered slamming the door in his face for a second before realizing Revan would probably find this reaction the most amusing when he found out. Why did she care about him anyway she thought but she had already opened the door. "You have it nice here" he said "definitely nicer than me" he added. Bastila shrugged "Being a jedi has its perks I suppose". "Oh no I thinks it has more to do with the hapans attitude towards men. Your quarters are probably bigger than the ones of the emperor or the chancellor will be." She nodded "they aren't very keen of men, apropros emperor. I was told he requested that I'd be here." She stated looking at Marius, making sure not to miss his reaction if he didn't answer. "And that actually surprises you, doesn't it?" he asked her snickering. "It does actually, he tried to have me killed the last time we saw each other." "Did he now? I don't remember much of that to be honest. Although I remember we felt betrayed that you didn't even celebrate our victory on Corellia with us." He answered as he opened the door to the gardens below, asking her outside.
