Kommisar nods to Kite, allowing the Grey master the right to refer him as Remus. Its completely understandable why Master Kite was here now, to gage the Imperial's knowledge and power base. While Kommisar himself was quite knowledgeable in his position as Regent, under orders from his master, he stays tight lipped. "An alliance you say? That might be something...."
It is then that Kommisar is cut off by the arrival of Lord Paymon and stands to greet him with a bow. Paymon says to continue and Kommisar nods before retaking his seat and looks at Master Kite."As I was saying, an alliance may be possible. It smart not to rule out possible friends."
Kommisar cuts a piece of Bantha steak off and chews it down before a serve droid brings him a glass of Carratosian Merlot. "Before you begin thinking that the Empire looks to enslave the galaxy, I wish to set you at ease. The RGE is not an Empire of conquest, we only seek to unify the galaxy in peace."

*Kite smiles and nods at Remus*
That would totally be acceptable to us, although I would still have to approve any alliance and agreements with my Order before I did accept on behalf of it...
*Kite turns at the announcement of Paymon and sighs, a little annoyed at the interuption, but carefully concealing that, before looking at the man and nodding.*
Hello, Paymon.
*He then turns back to Remus and smiles.*
Why would I think that, Remus? Just because I haven't had all pleasant experiences with the RGE, though you hospitality has been wonderful this time around, and despite the... thoughts that come to mind with the word "Empire", I would not presume to assume that you guys will conquest everything and rule over the galaxy with an iron fist. Though I am sure that rough tactics will be used somewhere along the line. I worry not of the Empire. My personal goal is to put the threat of the YV down.
What sort of deal would you be interested in, Remus?

"Its a preemptive comment I assure you, some people cannot get over the thought of a kinder, gentler Empire." Kommisar says with a slight chuckle, to most that would be considered an oxymoron. Kite asks about the type of deal that is ideal and Kommisar has been informed what to ask for.
"Simple enough Master Kite; a non-aggression pact." Kommisar says; for the Empire it keeps the Grey out of their hair for the time being. Kommisar is thinking of other things at the moment, like why Lord Paymon arrived unexpectedly and what brought his visit in the first place. He pushes these thoughts aside and continues. "That will at least get the ball rolling for a more meaningful relationship between our factions and the fact that the Grey see the Yuuzhan Vong in the same light as the Empire will help things."

Paymon looked at Kite,he could feel his disgust,this made him slightly happy.
Paymon waited for Remus to finish then spoke up,"Remember,Kite.The RGE aren't the Sith..you could have 'peace treaty' with the Empire..but I will never permit the NSO to stand by when a huge threat like the Yuuzhan Vong stand stronger than everyone else because they have treaties with everyone to keep them from being attacked."He said not caring if he sounded arrogant for it was only because he wanted to make his point clear.
He looked to Remus,"You are the one who will make this choice..but I have to warn you..the Yuuzhan Vong are great warriors..perhaps if they affiliated themselves with the RGE..consindering they are just a species,not a faction.."He said,gripping the hilt of his cane slightly.

*A transmission comes in beeping on Kite's personal Comm channel, triple encrypted for secrecy. Knowing he would know what program to pick to show the message when he got it, Volk leaves a short holo-message.*
Brother Kite, you are needed back on Sekot...finish what you are doing and get back here ASAP. Things are happening that I might need your help with.
*Message ends*

*Kite smiles and shrugs at Paymon.*
You speak as if I was unaware of this fact Paymon. You would be wrong in that assumption. I would thank you, as you just pointed out the NSO is not part of the RGE, if you would please step out while I speak with Remus. This is honestly none of your buisness, friend. I am glad, however, that you agree with my personal views on the YV.
*He turns back to Remus.*
That sounds good to me... But I will, of course, have to check with my order. I don't see why we wouldn't accept a non-agression pact...
*As he is speaking to Remus, he hears the beeping of his Comlink. He knows that the only people who would be bothering him right now would do it in an emergency, and as such looks at Remus and Paymon.*
Excuse me a moment... This has to be important...
*He pulls the comlink up and hits "Audio Only", putting it to his ear and listening to it extremely quietly. He then stands up and bows to both of them.*
Excuse me, sirs, I am being recalled to Zonama Sekot...
*He turns to Remus*
Should I wait for an escort, or may I leave now, Remus?

Remus stands in respect to the parting Grey Master. "I believe we can trust you enough to see yourself out, Master Kite. Just don't do anything to provoke a fight with our pilots and I doubt you will."
Kommisar waves off the guards and they open the doors to the meeting room to allow Kite passage. "The Empire looks forward to further communications with the Grey." Kommisar says and then bows in respect. "May the Force be with you... as you might say."

*Kite smirks at Remus*
I think that I can manage that...
*Kite grins as the doors open and nods*
The Grey anticipate the communications eagerly, I am sure, Remus.
*He bows to Remus*
And you as well, Regent. Good-bye.
*Kite turns around and walks out of the meeting room and to the lift, riding it down to the main floor. He steps out of it and retraces the steps he took to get to the lift perfectly, though almost taking a couple wrong turns. He exits the palace the way he came in, through the pilot's area, not stopping to speak to any of them, or pay any attention to them.*

Paymon shakes his head at the foolish young man."Goodbye,Kite."
Taking in everything he watches as he leaves,"Hm..So Remus,you will take a chance of placing my empire in danger by allying yourself with the pathetic Grey Jedi?"He asks,having a smirk,"These Yuuzhan Vong are not to be toyed with..watch yourself Remus,at the first sign of betrayal,I'll deal with you myself..and you know all those stories they tell about me,their true.."He then stood and turned and walked out of the room,he was angered and new that if he remained in the room much longer he very well may kill Remus,which is not what he wanted he took a lift back down to the level with his ship.
He walked by a few guards they saluted him as he made his way to his shuttle,once there he boarded it,and took his seat,"Get me off of this wretched planet before I destroy everyone here."He said,giving an evil chuckle they lifted off and took straight for the Black Widow.

As the Silent Knight slips into its private hangar bay inside the Imperial Palace, it lands to a moderate reception as its skids make contact with the shiny black floor of the bay. Ire steps off his ship to be greeted by Imperial Regent Kommisar, Maj. Thalis and Cilla Shane. All three bow in reverence and respect for the Executor.
"Welcome home, Executor." Kommisar greets as warmly as possible with his serious tone and stern look. "Its good to see your return."
"You may dispense with the pleasantries, Remus. My time here is brief and I don't wish to waste it." Ire says coldly as he walks passed his trio of greeters, who quickly turn and follow, and off towards the turbolifts. "Was my intuition about a guest right, Regent?"
"Most undeniably, Executor. The Grey were the first to seek out relations with Empire. They sent Master Kite to oversee the talks for the Grey."
Ire continues to walk down the hall and passes the scanners as he makes his way to the lifts when Kommisar confirms a feeling he had about the future. Ire's steps keep up the pace as he turns to Thalis in voice. "What was your assessment of him, Major? Is he someone to toy with?"
"Master Kite seems like he would be a worthy opponent," Thalis reports to Executor Ire. "his appearance signifies him to be a well rounded warrior. I sensed an honor bound soul even with his darker tendencies."
"And he has good taste in women..." Cilla Shane comments after Thalis only to rial him. It works to, Thalis give Cilla a cold look with makes a grin grow across Cilla's face. "... in my opinion."
"Quiet you two, you're acting like children." Ire says with disdain and without even turning around. Ire steps into the lift followed by the trio. As the doors to the lift close, the conversation continues. "How did the negotiations go, Remus?"
"Surprisingly easy, the non-aggression pact should soon be in place." Remus reports as he presses the lift button to the main hall and then continues. "Strangely enough though, Lord Paymon showed up unannounced at the meeting with Master Kite."
"I'm sure that went lovely..." Ire says with a slight chuckle. "They didn't damage anything did they?"
"No, milord. They remained civil." Kommisar replies."Lord Paymon did leave a warning to not try and shake the foundations of the alliance between us with this move."
"Good, the die is cast then." Ire comments as the lift doors open to the Main Hall. He keeps his pace and heads up the steps to he seat in the Main Hall, leaving Kommisar, Thalis and Shane at the bottom of the small flight. He doesn't sit but instead activates the armrest panel and opens it, revealing a datapad when he pulls it from the compartment. Ire then turns and begins to walk down the steps without stoping. "As long as the alliance between the Sith and Empire goes undiscovered, we can move swiftly and quietly."
As Ire gets to the bottom of the steps and Maj. Thalis steps up. "Do you think the Sith will really attack us?"
"Not at all." Ire says with a cold calmness in his voice. "They might have numbers but Paymon's arrogance blinds them all. When all is said and done he will die before me and the Sith will have their new leader. Now the only problem... getting the Jedi to think the Sith are up to something and force and engagement."
"How do you plan to do that, Executor?" Cilla asks in curiosity.
"Patients, Cilla. In due time, you will see the wonders I have planned for the galaxy." Ire says as he cackles evilly. "For now, I'm off to Munto Codru. Keep me informed of anything that happens.
Ire marches off back to the hangar bay leaving his aides and advisors back in the main hall. He wonders what its going to take to get the Jedi involved; luckily for Ire the virus would probably be the best bait to accomplish that. He still needs his supplies from Black Sun to complete the virus, something he hopes to have soon.
Ire makes his way quickly to the hangar and back aboard his ship. With nothing more than that he powers up his ship and breaks for orbit. He must complete his virus and begin the whirlwind to consume the galaxy.

Kommisar turns around and looks at Maj. Thalis and Cilla Shane with a grin on his face. "If Lord Ire is one thing, its definetly speedy."
"Quit cutting the jokes, Remus. You have to start getting ready for the award ceremony." Shane reminds Kommisar of his day's duties. He doesn't look at all thrilled.
"How many of these awards must I give out today?"
"Three to the survivors of the chemical station disaster." Shane tells Kommisar. "The thre of them pulled a total of 8 men and women out of that fire."
"Well then, when is it due to start?"
"In twenty minutes..."
Kommisar shakes his head. "Great... has my security detail been arranged?"
"Yes sir, Regent Kommisar." dutifully says Thalis. "A squad of Imperial Knights will acompany you."
"Well then, I best be getting ready. Have the Knights meet me here before we depart." Kommisar says before turning and heading to the turbolifts to get ready.

Zairon finishes strapping on his armor and clips his newly polished lightsaber to his belt. He looks at the other Imperial Knight in the room with him, a male human named Sir Naver. The other two Imperial Knights were females and had seperate rooms.
"Ready Sir Naver?" He asked as he turned, the black cape on his shoulders swirling in a regal manner.
"Yes, Sir Zairon." Naver responded with a bow. "Seems a rather dull task today though wouldn't you say?"
Zairon shrugged as he headed towards the door to their room, "Lord Ire wishes it, it will be done. A shame those aliens who slayed our previous Empire have been hard to find. I'd much rather kill them. But alas, Lord Ire wishes us to guard this Regent we shall do it on our honor." He said pressing the activator for the door and stepping outside.
Naver followed behind him in exact formation, each step perfectally in unison. Zairon walked to the outside of the female Imperial Knights' room and banged on the door. "Lady Athena, Lady Shana, you both look lovely enough without all the make-up and dress-up we really must get going." He said with a smirk.
Naver tried to hold back laughter at that comment. Imperial Knights had better things to do then put on make-up and play dress-up, but the jokes teasing them was still funny.
Lady Shana answered the door first, "Shoosh you!" She teased, "You're the one always hitting on us so that we have to look pretty!" She retorted.
"Oh, good counter, she got you there boss." Naver said unable to control his laughter.
Zairon gave a mock glare at Naver, "Silence you, or its kitchen duty for you!"
"We aren't in charge of kitchen duty, sir." Naver said.
"I'm sure the kitchen staff wouldn't mind." Zairon teased back.
Finally Lady Athena arrived at the doorway too, "Alright, alright I'm ready geez..." She said her lightsaber looking the most polished and her armor more clean than all the others. "Besides Sir Zairon, if you can wear make-up why can't we?" She teased.
"OHHHHH!!!" Naver was laughing so hard that he was having a hard time breathing.
"Psh, you know it makes me look pretty!" Zairon countered. "But all jokes aside, business time. We're on an assignment, we can all goof off when we get back. For now, its time to keep our reputation and honor as the last Imperial Knights and do a damn good job at this ceremony. Lord Ire will be most displeased if we don't."
The three others nodded and as Zairon turned and headed down the hall for where they were to meet the Regent, the others fell into perfect formation behind him, all four moving in unison.

Kommisar exits the lift wearing a black Rancor leather dress robe with ceremonial electrum shoulder bars and head piece of an Imperial Regent. He strides towards the Imperial Knights and stops in front of them. "Well, don't you all look dressed up... how about I buy the first round after this headache." Kommisar says before heading towards the hangar bay so that the group may get aboard a shuttle to the ceremony. Kommisar jokes freely with the knights, he can tell that they feel the same way about this job. "I'm told you are the finest knights in the galaxy, let's see if you survive and award ceremony."

The other knights don't speak unless specifically spoken to. Their faces are straight and serious and the keep a strict military appearance up.
Zairon and the others bow at the exact same moment. Zairon speaks, "Yes my lord. We will show you why we are the finest, sir." Before they all rise back into a straight up position. "My lord, do you expect any trouble at this event?" He ask doubting it, but wanting to know just in case there was anything in particular they should be ready for or just on their guard in general.

"We aren't expecting any problems." Kommisar informs Sir Zairon and then remebers where the ceremony is at. "The only thing to possibly worry about would be the mine workers strike, their protesting to the Mining Guild's placement of an office here." Kommisar keeps up the pace and enters the lift to the hanger. When the doors open on the hangar level, a Theta-class T-2c shuttle sits waiting for take-off. Kommisar enters the shuttle and takes a seat, waiting for the Knights to get settled.
