What it says on the tin. this is what's going on with the cadets at the Royal Academy during this episode of season 5.

The Academy was on lockdown. With crime syndicates running rampant, Mandalore couldn't risk their future leaders being caught in the crossfire. Inactivity was taking it's toll on Korkie and his fellow cadets.

"We should be out there doing something!" he paced the length of the common room again.

"Doing what?" Amis asked. He was sitting on the edge of the couch next to Lagos who was curled up with her arms around her knees, in as tight a knot as her emotions. "We don't even know what's going on."

"We will soon," Soniee promised, giving them all a hopeful smile from behind the open panel of the holo screen. She pulled down her visor as sparks flew, then made the final connection, and the unit flickered to life. As the image of the Duchess came into view, Soniee lifted the visor again, crossed the room to where Korkie had paused in his circuit and took one of his hands in both of hers. He smiled appreciatively at her.

Duchess Satine stood on the steps of the palace addressing the assembled crowd, "I need you all to remain calm. These attackers are just thugs, brought on by the lowest element."

She was interrupted by another voice, "The duchess Satine has led us to ruin." Pre Viszla zoomed up to her with two of his solders in jet packs.

Korkie stiffened next to Soniee and she squeezed his hand tighter glancing up at his angry features before looking back at the holo image.

Satine held her ground, "Deathwatch! Guards stay back!" She waved them away and confronted her old enemy. "Viszla, you must be the one responsible for these attacks!"

He landed boldly in front of her. "No, I'm not responsible, but I can offer a solution." He took off his helmet and turned to address the crowd, "People of Mandalore, I am Pre Viszla of Clan Viszla. Deathwatch is here to save you from these intergalactic gangsters that threaten our great city! This is a war and we will win!"

The people cheered.

"How can they believe him after everything he's done?" Korkie looked as if he wanted to jump into the holo and take on villain himself.

"Join me," Viszla continued. "and let us defend Mandalore against the criminals. We need action, not pacifism!"

"Do not listen to him!" The Duchess tried to reason with her people. "His war will cause the end of Mandalore as we know it!"

Viszla interrupted her, "We are under attack! There is no time for discussion."

The cadets watched as the crowd began to chant his name.

"He does kind of have a point," Lagos conceded.

"What?" Korkie turned on her angrily, Amis stood between them, and Soniee held onto him to keep him from doing anything foolish.

"Nothing against your Aunt, Korkie." Lagos pressed herself back into the couch cushions. "I'm just saying this may have gone beyond the point of a peaceful resolution."

Viszla in the holo image had put his helmet back on and flew up into the air over the crowd. "The name Mandalore will strike fear into the hearts of these gangsters!"

There was nothing the duchess could say to regain the attention of the mob. They were chanting for Viszla now and eventually with a pained look on her face, flanked by her guards, she retreated inside the palace.

"Turn it off!" Korkie said and Soniee watched him for a moment to make sure he wasn't going to lash out before she went to comply. "There's more going on here." He took up his pacing again.

Soniee could sense it too. "It is a little convenient that Deathwatch is in the perfect position to save us from the threat," She said, switching off the holo. She had never been trained to do so, but she attempted to project a sense of calm toward Korkie.

He held out a hand toward her and she went back to his side. He slid one arm around her shoulders and she continued her efforts help him control his emotions.

Amis frowned. "You think Deathwatch is working with the gangsters?"

Lagos was still unconvinced. "Why would Mandalorians ally themselves with outsiders?"

"I wouldn't put it past Viszla if it meant getting my Aunt off the throne!" Korkie's tone was still angry but he didn't seem about to attack.

"Well, what do we do about it?" Amis asked. "I assume we are going to do something."

Korkie smiled. "Oh, we're going to do something. Now that we can find out what's happening." He looked at Soniee and winked. "But we're not going to rush into anything. We've made that mistake before."

Lagos uncurled herself from the couch and stood with the other three. "Well I'm in. If Deathwatch is really working with the offworlders they certainly don't need to have anything to do with running Mandalore."

Korkie nodded at her.

Soniee smiled around at her friends and took a deep breath. "Information. Alright. I guess that's my department." Then Korkie surprised her by spinning her around and kissing her fiercely. She blushed still a little shy of public displays of affection.

The kiss had been noticed by several of the other cadets lounging around the common room. There was laughter and a few cheers.

Lagos grinned and elbowed Amis in the ribs. "What's my department again?"

Amis considered and then turned to her with a smile. "You get to look good driving the getaway speeder."

"I can handle that."
