"Hello, Everyone!" I said as I stood with my hands clasped behind my back. "You're watching 'Question Corner', and I'm your host Kale."

Being dressed in a pair of black pants and a purple top, I announced, "Today we have with us a warlord who has escaped death more then once." I pointed to the right of the stage, "Admiral Trench!" The audience clapped as Trench came up the steps. Having to lean on his cane as he took his step slowly. When he made it across the platform, I extended my hand out to him and found that he took without hesitation, or irritation, or any hint of hating me for that matter. Not at all like my recent guests.

"Welcome to 'Question Corner', Admiral Trench." I greeted with a smile. Using his full title seemed appropriate as it would put me in his favor. Afterwhich, it did and his chest swelled slightly as he shook my hand more fervently.

"And it is a pleasure being here, Miss Kale."

I offered him the chair next to mine before I took my usual seating. When he sat down, Trench rested his cane off to the side of his armrest. Then, looked at me expectantly.

'Eager' was the only word I could use to describe it, and it was kind of nice to have a villain on the Show that was actually excited to be here. Granted, I probably should have considered his attitude suspicious, but really he was a man who found himself extremely clever, extraordinarily cunning, amazingly brave, and a legendary warlord. So, put this Harch in a room where everyone's asking him about his clever, cunning, and brave personality and he's going to be eager.

"Tell me," He combed his hand over his one good chelicerae. "When do we begin?" He watched me with greedy eyes as I picked up the card deck from the coffee table.

"Now, if you'd like." I looked down at the first question, but slipped the card to the back after I read it's contents. Some of these questions probably wouldn't entertain Trench's pleasant mood, so it was best to tuck them away for later. "Our first question is from, 'Caxkj The Negative Twilight'. She asks, 'How does it feel knowing your tactics were more effective that that of the Neimoidian who blockaded Ryloth?'"

"This, I find as old news. The typical Neimoidians are, in my opinion, weak and unworthy of holding a flagship." He later waved me to carry on, "Go on, Miss Kale. Give me another one."

"Okay...'Dogmatup24' asks, 'Trench, do you have 9 lifes?"

Trench let out a loud laugh. "Ah, I could see why'd you'd think that. My ways of survival have proved themselves again and again, but no. I am merely a humble Harch doing my duty for the Separatists Alliance."

"'Skyrela the Angel' asks, 'What's it like being in politics?'"

"I am a warlord, Miss Kale. I do not burden myself with the details of politics. I make strategies, not feeble speeches."

"Alright. 'StarScream' asks, 'Have you ever seen the movie, 'Men in Black?''"

"Hmm..." His two prominent chelicerae's clicked together, "..what is a movie?"

"Sorry." I corrected myself, "Think holofilm."

"Then, no. I haven't."

"That's okay, but you really should. It's a great film." I switched the cards and said, "'Dark Angel' asks, 'Do you like Mudkip?' Even though, I don't know what mudkip is."

Agreeing with me, Trench commented, "You Earthlings certainly have odd names. In fact, I've never heard weirder. It's like you're incompetent of producing a single likable word." He chortled, "I mean, 'Kale'. Now honestly, isn't that the name of a vegetable on your planet?"

"Yes." My brows creased, "I suppose it is."

Leaning towards me, he asks, "Do you like a lot of Kale, Miss Kale."

Dropping my shoulders, I replied blatantly. "No. I actually can't stand the green stuff. Believe it or not."

Trench fell back into his chair and bellowed out a laugh as I stared at him with an unamused expression. After a few more awkward moments, he eventually finished. Brushing his hand over his one left chelicerae, he said, "Go ahead, Miss Kale. I have had my fun."

Letting out a sigh, I said, "As you wish, Admiral Trench...'Hazardous by Instinct' asks, 'How does it feel being surrounded by droids all the time on your cruiser?'"

"This means little to me, flesh or no flesh. I have dealt with some human crew before, and I find them...tedious. Slow in following orders, if you will. I am fine with whoever, so long they're quick, loyal, and prepared to die. Otherwise, nothing else is a factor."

"'Dark Star' says, 'Admiral Trench, I understand you are considered a war legend, so when did you become such a good tactician?'"

"The Harch is known for war, so when I was a youngling I was enrolled in the Octobris organization. Orchestrated to teach younglings of simple battle strategies and Secundus Ando's many victories. Every Harch has to go through the system, unless excused by family or mental issues."

"So, you've been preparing for war pretty much your whole life?"

"Try not to sound too baffled, Miss Kale." He answered curtly, "I'm sure you had dollies, and playhouses, and some other Earthling contraption growing up, but we Harch don't believe in such distractions. We're strive to be superior." Upon hearing this, I smiled through clenched teeth. Thinking that this wasn't going to end well if he was getting snarky at the easy part of the interview.

Changing subject, I read. "'Pronker' asks: 'On the bridge of your ship, you closed your eyes as the missiles approached. Was this a religious reason, or simply an 'UH-oh' moment?'"

"I believe it was..." His fangs clicked together like an insect as he searched for the proper word. "acceptance. However, all fared well in the end." He indicated to his metal arms and cybernetic eye, "Considering the following..."

"That brings up the topic of your survival. How did you escape?"

"No." He shook his head, "I plan to save that tale for the end of this interview."

Nodding, I read the next card to myself, but frowned shortly after. "'Weathergirl17248' asks," I gulped, "You look like a spider. Can you spin webs?" This question was just the start.

"Excuse me?"

"Tarantula." I coughed, "To be exact."

"I'd like a different question." He sneered. Taking his cane and stomping the bud against the flooring, he ordered. "In fact, I demand it."

"Fine." I drew up the next card, "'Jesslyoko324' asks, 'What kind of name is Trench? When you were little did you like to dig holes? And does it bother you that you're a giant spider? I hate spiders, so I squash them, and I am as happy as can be.'" I pressed my lips into a thin, white line as I gently placed the card to the back of the deck. Averting my eyes from Trench the whole time, I eventually chose to look up when he failed to answer.

Trench didn't bother to hide his anger as he fumed within in chair. His eyes directed towards me, he growled, "I am honored to have my name. Trenches are used in warfare, and I am war. I am a warlord. I bring doom to my enemies." He pointed at me accusingly with his cane, "You are a vegetable, and yet you tease my name?""

Frantically, I shook my head, "I didn't actually ask that, Commander. I'm just the hostess-"

"What is the first thing you do in the battlefield?" He interrupted, "You find cover from the enemy, so you build a trench. I don't wish to continue my explanation." Planting his cane down between his feet, he closed the topic without another word.

"It's okay," I raised in hands in surrender, "I personally think Trench is a fantastic name. Really, I do. Now, let's move onto another question. Ah yes, here we go. From 'HTTYD Frozen Forever'...'Trench, did you know that I...step on your brothers for fun?'"

"Miss Kale, I'd prefer it if you'd screen these questions before you read them aloud. These inquires are obviously from Republican viewers, and I won't stand for it. Now, what is the next question?"

Nodding, I gnawed at my lower lip and fiddled with the last card in my hands. I knew that before I could give the very last question, we would had to give out a certain gift. One that came in last minute. We never did give out presents unless it was Christmas time, but, when my crew saw the gift inside the shipping box, they said we had to bend the rules just this once.

Slowly, I reached down and pulled out an item from behind my chair. Covered with black wrapping paper and a red ribbon, I passed it him. Telling him it was from a viewer of the Show, but leaving out the gift-givers name.

Trench reached forward and snatched the present without hesitation. Setting it on his lap, his greedy hands rubbed together. "Now this is how you treat a guest, Miss Kale. I hope you will come to understand that as this is your job."

Like the rest, I chose to ignore that comment and watched as he tore off the red ribbon and peeled off the paper. Taking all the excess wrapping away from his lap, he dropped it onto the floor. When he was done opening, he had a cylinder shaped item in his hands. Reading the label, he yelled. "Bug spray!"

I sank a little deeper into my seat as the Admiral retrieved his cane and scrambled to get to get to his feet. The audience bellowed with laughter, and maybe I would have joined them if I hadn't felt a little threatened as the Harch hobbled towards me. His eyes ablaze with rage.

Raising the bug spray in one hand, he threw it to the ground and I watched as it bounced off the stage and onto the floor below. "I am not some insect from your home planet!" He shouted. Making everyone fall silent.

"Commander Trench," I jumped up and followed the Warlord as he made a U-turn and started to leave the set. "I speak for 'Question Corner' when I say I'm sorry if the gift hurt your feelings. It was meant to be funny, but it wasn't. I truly am sorry..." Still holding the last card in my hands, I added in haste, "I think you'll like this one, Admiral. It's asking how you escaped after your ship was attacked. I'm sure it's an interesting story."

We were by the stairs when he stopped and took hold of my elbow. Pinching it harshly as he yanked me down to his level. I came face to face with him when his clicking fangs hissed into my ear. He whispered, "Your 'Question Corner' isn't going to be here for very long, Miss Vegetable. You can count your credits on that." before pushing me away. Leaving me to rub my elbow as I watched him go down the stairs. His cane leading the way.

Your 'Question Corner' isn't going to be here for very long... I pursed my lips and straightened my back. Half tempted to sneer at his retreating figure. I was irritated by what the spider monkey had to say, but when I turned around and went back to the audience, I did it with a proper smile. Going to the middle of the stage, I placed my hands behind my back and said,

"Thank you for joining us on another week of 'Question Corner'." I began without hesitation, "It was unusual, I will admit, but we will be sending the Admiral an apology gift. But, it won't be bug spray, I can tell you that." The crowd chuckled lightly at this, "Our next guest will be Bounty Hunter, Aurra Sing. Remember the rules: No M-rated questions, 2 questions per person, and don't forget to check the reviews to make sure your question hasn't already been asked."
