Truth be told I had thought there was going to a confrontation between Thessa and me before witnesses. Then at the most dramatic moment after she accusses me i go remove my mask to reveal my withered face and ask her point blank, "Is this the face of the person you claim to have tortured you?"
Naturally she can't say its the same because this is my public face, the ancient Force user wracked by the ravages of using the dark side. Then I had planned to accuse them of laying the blame on the most popular Zabrak in the galaxy, basically painting them as terrorists and xenophobes. Then I would provoke her mentally causing her to snap and shoot me. Then the fireworks were supposed to start.
Hahaha I even wrote it all down and was waiting for my turn to post when the bar fight began. OH well the best laid plans of mice and men and all
Now if there was only some way I could blame the Republic for this I would be as happy as panda with a chocolate cake.
