As they approached the Sith embassy on manaan they could see a large crowd of protesters trying to gain access through the main gate, separating the square in front of the complex and the lawn that led up to the main building. "Somehow word has gotten out about our guest and the presence of special forces at the embassy and the republic sympathizers all over manaan have gathered. They have tried to gain access for quite some time now but the local police forces have contained them for now, the ambassador fears that they will retreat at some point if the pressure is to high." Marius finished. "This also looks like prime time for a terrorist attack on the embassy to me." Omega four added, "Well if they don't care about killing our guest at least." He said pointing to the republic soldier still being held by Omega 11. "We are touch down now" the pilot announced as the landing gear slowly made contact with the gravel on the roof of the building.
"If you want anything from me however" Revan said as he slowly circled around the table to stand behind Bastila were he put his hand on her shoulder and came closer which almost made her flinch, "I will need you to call back the idiots currently besieging a legal embassy on manaan. If not, I may find it appropriate to level some embassy of yours on another planet. My planets have waited for quite some time to test a new type of heavy laser guided bombs." Bastila stood up and faced him, which didn't exactly help her get farther away from him. "The republic has no ties to the protesters and an attack on a republic embassy would lead to dire consequences." She stated. He leaned in another few centimeters, "maybe you don't have any ties to the protesters, but what about you commander?" "What do you mean" she asked puzzled. "Well this is the third time you came here within a day for something that could have been discussed via a holo connection, maybe you do have some ties to me?" he asked.
"Jack take Omega eight through eleven and bring her into some empty office." Marius ordered the medic before wandering off with the rest of his squad as well as the captain of the defense squadron stationed in the embassy. "The riot control unit of the police has retreat via several speeders." He notified the special operations commander who had brought this mess upon him. "If the protesters break the perimeter open fire." Marius ordered. "Very well but we don't have much as far as riot control rounds, we aren't equipped for this sort of attack, the police are supposed to handle this kind of situation. "I am talking about live rounds captain. I trust you haven't forgotten how to fire an actual weapon have you?" "No commander I am going to relay the orders to my men." He said before walking off. The ambassador walked up to them "I am thinking about ordering the destruction of all critical intelligence information within the building for the case the embassy falls." Just as Marius wanted to answer a detonation shook the building and both rushed to the bullet proof window. The protesters had detonated some sort of charge at the main gate but it still held for now. "Open fire captain, get them away from the gate, you can try shooting over them first but if it doesn't work don't hesitate to go for body shots." Laser fire flared down from the roof and from the entrance of the building were several guards had set up improvised fortifications. A second detonation, this one much stronger shook the whole building, causing paint to break off the wall. "I think you have your answer right there ambassador" Marius said "get rid of everything that's critical."
"You must be joking" she claimed. "Am I though? I have seen the way you look at me during the meetings little jedi." He said. "Maybe you should consume less of the spice your empire uses to finance this war." He laughed "that is laughable, especially since you know where most of our ships come from. If you are interested in trying some spice however" he said. "Stop this" she said angrily "and get off me" she added. Revan leaned in even closer to her face, "and if I don't?" He was thrown through the air by the force, the jedis force push had taken him aback which granted her a short moment of pride until he grabbed her by the neck and pushed her up against the wall of the balcony. "You forgot your manners jedi, I could break your little neck right now and the republic would still negotiate with me."
As another explosion hit the building and Molotov cocktails were thrown over the fence the sith soldiers finally opened fire on the protesters. Many of them immediately dispersed but a still impressive amount of them pulled blasters of their own and returned fire, hiding behind the large wall of the embassy. As a particularly brutal explosion hit the building Marius finally realized the source and pulled out his comm to notify the captain. "Get your men off the roof this is mortar fire from far away, they must still be zeroing in our exact position so the hits aren't as accurate yet." He got no answer from the captain until his comm finally buzzed "the captain has been killed by an explosion" one of the soldiers on the roof reported. "We are already trying to get down but the fire from the enemies at the main gate won't allow us to get to the elevator." "We will take care of it just get of the roof as soon as you can." Marius ordered and motioned for Omega four to get closer. "Grab two machine guns and get back here." The man ran off and returned a short time later, they set up the guns in the window before laying down continuous fire onto their adversaries who scrambled to safety allowing the soldiers on the roof to retreat down the elevator.
Bastila stared Revan in the face defiantly but she still knew that Revan could indeed kill her in the blink of an eye and he would probably get away with it. This was similar to when they first met, she was almost as terrified of him as back then but she still didn't want to give in. Revan had moved his hand from her neck and up to her chin to hold her face in place. "You look beautiful Commander" he said, before she could answer he pressed his lips to hers. She gasped as he let go of her, when he repeated it she returned the favor and they were soon sprawled over the furniture.
