Sorry It is taking so long to update, I cant find enough time type. Ok and just so you know the Jedi did arrive back on Yavin.
Chapter 5 Senate Dilemma
The Jedi had to admit it; they needed Senate help to resolve this mini cult war fast enough. Well, there was a problem, once upon a time (which means in the old Republic) Jedi could send a representative to the Senate in order to gain vote. But now, it wasn't as easy, now a senator had to present the Jedi issue to the Chancellor and the rest of the senate. The Jedi didn't have good enough relations to a senator to present their case. But they had a political mind among them even though she wasn't really a Jedi. She was Leia Organa Solo. She had been convinced to ask Mon Mothma, she was an old senator close to retiring of Corellia, and also she was one out of the two still alive from the old Republic. The other was Fang Zar Chancellor, he was arrested the day the Empire was declared and was of strong political mind, not as good of a war conductor as Palpatine was.
Mothma though might have even been Chancellor but that's another story in its own right. Leia now as she was walking into Mon's apartment wasn't so sure she would agree. She trusted the Jedi, but it wasn't like this cult was a major threat, not yet anyway and that was one of the not-yet-opened case's strong points. She walked up to the lift leading to Mon's suite high in the building. As it went up she looked behind her through the clear glass wall and out onto Coruscant. The lift stopped then, chimed and opened into a blue-carpeted hall with beautiful marble walls.
" Greetings, Mon Mothma?" Leia asked. At the end of the hall instead of Mon Mothma walked a silver protocol droid.
" Greetings miss, I am TC-67." The droid said." Miss Mothma will be here in a moment. Can I get you anything?"
" No, thanks." Leia replied politely.
" Very well, if you shall follow me you can have a seat and wait for miss Mothma." Leia followed Teecee sixteen into a large living room with a lot of furnishings and a very large sofa facing a screen for the Holonet news. Leia took a seat on the sofa behind it, which faced another sofa. A few minutes later Mon Mothma appeared and sat down.
" Greetings Mrs. Solo." Said Mon Mothma cheerfully." What can I do for you?"
" I need to appeal to the Senate for the Jedi." Leia said cutting straight to the point and also being slightly rude on not greeting Mon Mothma.
" May I ask what for?" Mon asked.
" There is a cult, it is very powerful and it nearly wiped out a city on Ren-Var in just hours, we are concerned it may organize into an army and attack the Republic." Leia said. The glint in Mon Mothma's eyes was gone, she looked worried which was good so she would speak out.
" Well, this sounds serious, are you proposing war?" Mon asked.
" No, their army is not yet big enough for war. I am proposing an extermination, perhaps a bombing on Hoth which is where their base is." Leia explained.
" Alright I shall propose. Is tomorrow to soon to call a Senate meeting?"
" No it's perfectly fine, though I need a place to sleep."
" Quite alright there is a guest suite one floor down."
The next Day in the Senate building
Mon Mothma's pod floated out towards the Chancellor's podium. Leia was also aboard it.
" Senator Mothma, you have called a meeting for a proposal yes?" Fang Zar the Chancellor asked.
" Correct." Mon replied.
" State your proposal please."
" There is a cult of dark Jedi. An eyewitness has told me they nearly wiped out a city on Ren-Var in a matter of hours. I am proposing we wipe them out quickly or war might come." Mon said even though Leia was not an eyewitness.
" Please bring the witness forth." Leia stepped up to the microphone and Mon Mothma sat down.
" Witness is this true?" The Chancellor asked.
" Yes, and they also made another attack on Dantooine, destroying a Jedi outpost there and killing at least a thousand civilians in three hours." Leia said.
" Are you proposing war?" The Chancellor asked gravely.
" No, I am proposing just what Senator Mothma said. Just a little back up to clean them out." Leia stated.
" You're point is taken, but how shall this be any different from war?" Asked the Chancellor.
" Because it is more of a battle to prevent a war."
" Very well, I believe that is enough. The senate shall now vote."
Five minutes later
" The vote is unanimous…" The Chancellor began looking at his data screen." the answer is no. The reason being that we have no troops and we shall not order any unless necessary from Kamino as that would be our only source except for volunteers. However I give the Jedi permission to try to quell this cult outside the Republic if necessary. And until this cult should attack the Republic no action will be taken. Meeting adjourned."
Back At Mon's suite
" I see why it's a problem that the only source of troops would be from Kamino!" Leia shouted in anger. Mon Mothma looked very upset she had predicted an outcome like this.
" Leia, listen, it is a problem because the Kaminians are to embarrassed to negotiate after they had been used in the clone wars. As far as I know they are still cloning though because they day might arrive when they have to fight." Mon said. Leia looked at her and said not unkindly.
" I must go."
I know it was a little short but the next one should be longer lately school has been loading us with homework but it will stop soon I hope.
