"Brandyn's intel was quite clear," Valery said as she approached the senator's office with a frown that wouldn't fade. "This man makes it seem like he's sticking up for the common people. The worried citizen intimidated by Force Users. There's more to it, I just know it. He calls it conspiracy theories, but..." she paused and looked at him.

What if he was behind the attacks?

Behind their son having to kill someone in self-defense?

Valery could feel her blood boiling, just thinking about it again. The look in Aris' eyes, the worried frown on Vera's face when she saw him and the emotions that sparked when they all hugged. Her hands clenched into fists and for just a moment, she forgot that she was standing in the doorway of his office.

That he had seen them and addressed them. How should they start this off?

"We have some questions for you."

 

[Kahlil Noble]

"He will use whatever we do to try and reinforce his beliefs if he's actually one behind it, you know. We're two of the most powerful Jedi, arriving to speak with a man without such powers because he could be someone who could be against the Jedi will certainly be a tool he uses."

Him being oppressed into silence would be an easy sell. Not that Kahlil was particularly bothered. If this man was behind the movement, he wouldn't find it to be two Jedi who were meeting him, but rather two very protective, very angry parents. Once they entered the room, though, Kahlil's expression stilled to something rather expressionless. It was how he was taught to interact with people as a Sith.

Betray no emotion, less it be used against you.

"As well as a need for all your records. There has been multiple, coordinated attacks against civilians and Jedi alike, and enough has pointed in your direction."

The Senator’s mind closed down like a vault. The techniques taught to those in the upper leadership of the Unblessed prepared them to exert wilfulness around Jedi and Sith alike. While not impenetrable, his mind was certainly closed to close readings and manipulations. Thankfully, a Jedi was less likely to use harsh techniques to pry information from minds. Unfortunately, his demeanour was not so quickly brought under control.

Achan’s jaw clenched.

“Straight to the guts of the matter, I see,” he said, back straightening and legs spreading as if finding more solid ground, “it is a shame that we dispense with pleasantries so quickly.”

His eyes were brought to bear on Kahlil. He knew of him from reports and the media. He knew the man’s prowess and his some of his history with the SIth. In many respects, Kahlil Noble represented the transmutable nature of Force user’s alignment. He was the epitome of everything the Unblessed stood against. Though Achan was not above acknowledging that at least in Kahlil’s case the change was for the better. The exception that proved the rule.

”Ah. The other Noble,” he said, tone all needles, “no. You cannot come in and demand my records. You do not have such authority. Not even with your rank within the Jedi Order. Now if you had started with a please…I may have been more congenial towards your request.”

Achan turned slowly, walking to the small bar in the corner of his office. He poured a single drink, noticeably not offering the Jedi anything. “Am I to be lead to believe…that Jedi at the top of their game…and at the head of their fine institution…are given to believing…conspiracy theories and scandalous false accusations? It leaves one to ask…serious questions…”

He turned back to his visitors and sipped his beverage.

“…about the lack of oversight that your Order continues to enjoy.”

"You seem to be misunderstanding something, Senator."

Kahlil only briefly looked about the office before focusing on the man. There would be nothing here, Kahlil knew. For a conspiracy like this, he wouldn't be so foolish as to leave anything to chance in an investigation of his office. But he was full of pride. And pride often made a fool. No smile formed on his face, he hadn't bothered with trying to be pleasant.

He wouldn't be pleasant.

"I do have that authority. The Jedi and the Senate work closely together to combat threats, inward and out. Who do you think is responsible as the representatives of both?"

The Chancelor was a given for the Senate. The Shield was that for the Jedi.

"Your records, Senator. Or I will be placing you under arrest for obstruction of justice."

Much like her husband, Valery wasn't here for pleasantries either. Not with someone potentially - very likely - to be involved or even behind the attacks targeting her family. Even her babies had been their target. Valery could feel her blood boiling all over again but kept herself restrained and forced her mouth shut. Her husband held a better position to make demands because of his position towards the Senate.

She had no trouble leaving it to him.

"Once we have the records, we'll be allowing a proper investigation into communications traffic as well," Valery added. "Cooperation would be appreciated, but is not required." If he resisted, there would be consequences.

The Senator smiled, and walked calmly to the middle of the room with a pace that showed he was relaxed. Two Jedi Masters overtly threatening him with arrest? It barely seemed to phase him at all.

He did not respond for a while, but instead sat in an armchair and crossed his leg.

“I am a representative of the people, and as such…I have sensitive…classified…documentation on my servers.”

He took a sip of his drink.

”Based on spurious accusations and the babbling of crazed conspiracy theorists you have the nerve to demand access to this documentation. Let me explain how it goes that if you proceed with your…threats…”

He glared calmly at Kahlil in particular.

”…you will find several communiques with informants within that now defunct New Way organisation…they reached out to me knowing that I was compassionate to their complaints of…Jedi overreach…”

He sipped his drink again.

”…and then…if you persist…and I am arrested…I will be out within hours. My arrest will run headlines on every news bulletin from the Colonies to the Inner Core…and then my follow up interview will reveal how two Jedi Masters…leaders within their order…thought themselves above the law and arrested a lawfully elected representative of the people without cause…”

He sipped his drink again.

”…all the while anti-Jedi radicals see their numbers swell.“

He placed his drink down on the table beside his chair.

“Or you can leave.”

"Senator, we are well aware that the New Way has been reformed into the Unblessed. You have now confirmed you have records of communication with the terrorist organization." Kahlil remained unflinching. His attitude in the Senate was well known now. He didn't play politics, and he certainly didn't care about appearances. Twisting words and stories didn't matter to him.

"You're the only one mentioning these rumors. There have been terrorist attacks against any who support the Jedi, not just the Jedi themselves. Against the lawful leaders of planets where Jedi are allowed to live. You are now under arrest, Achan, for terrorism and the assistance of planetary coup. I suggest you come peacefully."

Valery glanced at her husband from the corners of her eyes. This was his territory more than it was hers, and she always thought he was good at it. Even if he hated every bit of this political nonsense. But his words rang true to her — there was evidence and now confirmation from his side that he had communicated with the terrorists.

Would that be enough?

"Not just Jedi or lawful leaders," Valery added to what her husband said. "Children, too." She was good at keeping her emotions in check, but the complete disgust wasn't entirely out of her voice.

Her children had been targeted, too, and she doubted that these nutjobs knew that one of her kids wasn't even sensitive to the Force at all.

"You will come with us, so this case can be investigated further by proper authorities. They will determine you innocent or guilty of the charges."

 

[Achan Jaikavi]

Achan smiled knowingly and tapped his chairs built in comms device. “G3…please inform the press gallery that I am being arrested by Jedi.”

He stood, and smoothed out his coat. He spoke as he checked over his appearance. “I can assure you. All such communiques were reported to the appropriate authorities. Records will note my full co-operation with law enforcement officials.”

Stepping forward towards Kahlil, Senator Jaikavi held both of his arms out before him. “Well. This ought to be fun.”

"The Press is already very aware that a Senator has been arrested for connections with known terrorists striking against Force Users of any kind and their families. I'm sure they will be very interested in knowing the same Senator chose for slander right away in response."

Kahlil raised a hand and simply motioned ahead. "After you, Senator." He would not of course put the senator in handcuffs. There was no reason to after all. Unless he decided to be violent, but Kahlil doubted he would attempt any such thing.

"If you've been open, honest, and truly have nothing to hide, then you'll find yourself a free man soon enough." The justice system wasn't there to prove his innocence, but his guilt, and they had enough to press charges and start the entire investigation. It was more than likely that he had ways to hide the worst of it, and she wasn't going to stop until she found it. Every part of this man's being just screamed he was involved more than he was willing to admit.

They just needed to prove and address it properly.

"Love? Would you like me to contact authorities to begin a sweep here already?" She asked as he readied himself to escort the senator out of his office.

The sooner they'd start, the better.
