RGE Imperial Palace

[Lord Ire]

Several days have passed since all the excitement at the award ceremony and the quite of the passing days was well welcomed by Regent Kommisar. He sits in his office looking over planetary reports and begins looking into the expansion of the Empire. He is making a note of production planets that have been pro-Imperial in the past when there is a sudden chime at his door. "Come."

Quickly entering the room walks Cilla Shane and Maj. Thalis. Shane's face has a look of slight worry as she speaks, pressing the switch for the forward monitor. "Regent, there's something on the holonet you should see."

The pilots of the merchant vessel 'Invidia' decided against going in close to the origin of the transmission, instead bringing the message to the attention of the authorities of their destination, Tarabba Prime.

"It was unclear at the time, weather or not the distress call was, in fact, a hoax." Stated one planetary security official today, "But further investigation is taking place as we speak, and we can confirm that the call was indeed genuine."

"By the Force..." Kommisar is held to little response. "What is the situation, Thalis?"

"Unknown, honorable regent. There's no holo images on the ground. Reportedly, they managed to get the message off via a ultra-low band analog signal."

Kommisar sits in his office for a moment and rests his chin on his fist in contemplation. "Flying blind on information. We need to get more information before anything else. I want to know what we are dealing with..."

"Your orders, Regent?" Thalis asks, intent on seeing some kind of action be taken.

"Bring me the Imperial Knight Sir Zarion. I wish to see him at once."

[Lord Zairon]

Lady Shana quickly got armored up and geared up when they came looking for Sir Zairon. Zairon was still gone, yet to call in. She was unsure if she should call him back now or see what the Regent wanted. She decided since she was second in command and currently in charge she'd report and make the choice from there.

It only took her a few minutes to be ready to report and she quickly reported to the Regent. She entered the room and walked up and took a knee. "My Lord," She said bowing.

[Lord Ire]

"Where is Sir Zarion, Lady Shana? I thought I sent for him." Kommisar ask inquisitively.

[Lord Zairon]

"Sir Zairon is currently away from the planet. I'm not sure his exact location." She says, "I'm in charge while he is away. I can get ahold of him if you need him specifically my lord." She says. "I didn't want you to be kept waiting in the time it would take for him to arrive back here so I came to see you in his place. Shall I call him back my lord?"

[Lord Ire]

"No, that's unnecessary." Kommisar says dismissing the notion. "I was simply unaware he had left. If he trusts you to be in command in his absence, I therefore trust you."

Kommisar plays back the holoreport for the Knight and begins walking towards her. "This was just flashed over the entire Holonet. As you can see, this report tells us nothing. I wish to send you Knights to Utapau to gather information."

[Lord Zairon]

Lady Shana watches the report in silence and listens to Kommisar's orders after he is finished, "Yes my lord. I will call Sir Zairon and have him meet us there as well." She says with a salute.

"Do you want us just to gather information or shall we involve ourselves in whatever is going on as well?"

[Lord Ire]

"You are to obey the rules of engagement but use whatever means necessary to come back alive with your report on the situation. " Kommisar says and then adds, "I will send a message to the Captain of Star Destroyer Lordi to expect your Knights arrival."

[Lord Zairon]

Lady Shana nods, "Yes my lord, I'll have Sir Zairon meet us at Utapau." She says bowing. "The rest of us will ready ourselves and disembark for the Lordi right away." She says before turning and heading out of the room.

Lady Shana quickly headed back to the room and informed the rest of the knights of their mission. "We are to gather more informtion and report what is going on back to the Regent." She says once the other two knights are gathered. "I'll call Sir Zairon and have us meet him there."

The other knights nod and head to their rooms to get ready as quickly as possible. Once they are geared up and ready they head to the hanger to get their Tie Phantoms. They get in their vehicles and head up to the Lordi.

"Star Destroyer Lordi, this is the Imperial Knights. We request clearance to land." She says as they get closer.

[Lord Ire]

"Clearence granted to land in hangar bay Alpha."

[Jade Albright]

~Mathias gives a low smile that has a dangerous edge to it, as he pulls Jade closer to his large frame~

Come let me show you to the palace. Our leader will probably be there.

~Jade stands up as straight as she can and still only comes to his shoulder. He would be devastatingly handsome if his eyes where not so cold~

As you wish. Lead and I will follow.

~Mathias, gives a laugh.~

Something tells me you only obey and behave when you want to.

~She can't help but laugh~

Was it my red hair that gives that away? I am not good at being passive as Ire will no doubt tell you. We tended to get into trouble together due to it.

~Mathias, looks down at her and she feels a blush coming on at his gaze. She looks off and takes in a deep breath.~

This place is huge. And beautiful, I expected nothing less from Ire.

~Her voice is breathless with delight and Mathias, keeps her close watching her as they walk into the palace~

[Lord Ire]

As MCD walks through the halls of the palace, Regent Kommisar approaches quickly from around a corridorm "Milord, we had no word of your return. Welcome home."

MCD gives a giggle and a pat on the back. "Its all good, Remus. What's new?"

"Well milord, a lot. The Yuuzhan Vong have attacked Utapau, Sir Zarion is there now but no report as to the current situation."

"Not Vongies! I hate Vongies!" MCD exclaims. "Oh well, send a fleet, let them lay waste to the place and wipe them out. That ought to send the message."

"Very good, milord." Kommisar knows better than to question the otherwise crazy order and begins inputing orders on a datapad when a message about a new arrive comes through on his pad. "Milord, there seems to be a Ms. Jade Albright here to see you."

"Jade? Goodie, a familiar face!" MCD says happily as he enters the throne room "Have someone bring her to here."

[Jade Albright]

~Mathias pauses for a moment hearing a response in his ear, his eyes become warmer to Jade~

Seems Ire is looking forward to seeing you.

~His hand ,which had been gripping hers hard, lets go and he moves his hand to her lower back moving her along the palace. His movements to her are now warmer and tinge with sensuality. She flushes and looks straight ahead as the move to the throne room. Once there he bows to Ire~

My lord a pleasure to see you.

[Lord Ire]

MCD turns and sees Jade with Maj. Thalis, she looks rather happy clinging to his arm. The one who doesn't look happy is Cilla Shane, who is scowling in the corner as she sees Thalis looking rather happily at Jade. MCD remembers Jade from one of his inherited memories, he doesn't remember the panther that followed her around but things do change.

"Jade! How wonderful to see you, its been too long a time." MCD says coming over and giving Jade a big hug before looking down at the panther near Jade. "Oh my, you brought a pet? How cute!.

MCD puts out his hand for the kitty to get his scent. "Hello, Kitty."

[Jade Albright]

~Jade gives a delighted smile and hugs MCD/Ire close to her~

My dear friend.. How are you? You look happy. I have missed you.

~Seeing him well she shakes off the horrible dream she had~

I dreamed well it was not nice and you know how I hate my dreams.

~She gives him a odd look~

You don't remember Allora? Hmm she really was more in the shadows when others where around.

~She looks at Allora who comes from Mathias side and rubs against MCD. He smells just like Ire so the panther does not know the difference.

Jade looks up sensing cold eyes on her. A tall dark skin woman is glaring at her. Mathias whispers~

Ignore her and enjoy your visit.

~He runs a finger down her face softly and steps off to give Ire/MCD space~

Ermm

~Her eyes go to Ire/MCD.~

[Lord Ire]

As Maj Thalis walks over to the corner towards Cilla, her glare shifting from Jade to Thails. The two seem to exchange glares and smirks as MCD walks over to Jade. "I'm sorry, my memory hasn't been quite on the money since I got hit on the head during a fight a few days ago."

MCD offers Jade his arm a leads her to the bar, leave it to Ire to have a bar in his throne room, and grabs a bottle of Ti'haar and two glasses before heading back towards the steps that lead to hit throne and taking a seat on the second step.

"You mentioned a bad dream... what kind of bad dream?" MCD was curious to hear, maybe Jade had seen too much, but MCD needs to find out what she might know from her visions.
