Ava's comlink went off and a fine dressed Gentleman smiled, "Lady Forma, so pleased to finally be able to greet you officially. I am Mr. Sid Luscious, I am your Executive Assistant."

He smiled broadly, "I want to say what an honor it is to serve your needs and enrich SunCo's operations here in the Baklid System."

He bowed in deep respect, "I have scheduled a meeting with your executive team for one in the afternoon. Lady Loran has left her personal chef behind for a few days while you get settled in to your new role. She made it clear that we are to assist you in your efforts."

"How many will you be bringing to the the lunch meeting, my Lady," he asked softly.

Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Once Astra finally fell asleep she held Rosa in her arms til she heard her comlink go off. Carefully and gently shifting she went to answer it deciding to keep her voice low. Seeing the call was coming from sun co.  As she listened " two plus a baby " deciding to bring Astra and Tesara along. She could easily pick up some clothes for Astra and pass her off as her best friend. She was careful to keep the baby out of view angling the comlink a certain way.

The man looked panicked as he played with his Datapad, "a baby.....of course Lady Forma. I will make the arrangements!"

He shifted through some items on his Datapad, "I will make sure a nanny is standing by should you require it."

Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
" thank you, I shall let your know if one is required.  " arsta was just learning who she could trust. She was sure how Astra would feel if she set it up without asking. She didn't wanted to lose the ground she had gained.

TheTraveler — 06/15/2021
The large room has been converted for this meeting's purpose. Mr. Luscious smiled and greeted Lady Forma at the door and escorted her in. He even pulled the chair out for her as she set down, "The nanny is standing by in the other room should you require it," he whispered to her. He then moved and helped Astra take her seat next to Ava, "My Lady, if there is anything you require for your lovely baby girl, please don't hesitate to ask."

He then turned to Tesara, "if my study is correct, you are Tesara, Lady Forma's personal servant." His voice was pleasant and filled with respect. "Here, your services won't be required during this meeting," he said motioning her to a chair on the other side of Ava. While waving off any further comments or arguments, "I assure you, your Mistress is in the best possible hands," he said helping her in to her seat.

With the three ladies in their seats, "Lady Forma, allow me to introduce you to your Executive Team."

He then motioned for the first person to enter. "Colonel Jack Pacey, from the unknown regions," A tell humanoid man walked in to the room. His skin had a slight red tint to it and there were tattoos on his face. His long black hair was neat and braided. "Colonel Pacey is your senior military advisor. He specializes in both guerrilla warfare and hostile local military forces."

"Lady Forma," Colonel Pacey said bowing before taking the seat directly across from Ava.

"Next we have, Mr. Dex Hartley....."

Before Mr. Luscious could continue the man corrected him, "Doctor..."

Mr. Luscious nodded, "yes, right," he said correcting himself. "Doctor Dex Hartley, hails from Alderaan in the Core. Doctor Hartley is an expert in Geopolitics, Government, and Out Rim Alliances and Treaties."

Doctor Hartley smiled and bowed respectfully, "I am looking forward to solving the complex issue that is Baklid, with you My Lady." He said gave a slight nod and walked over to the chair across from Tesara and took his seat.

"Might I introduce Ms. Wenda Pound," Mr. Luscious said with a smile. "Ms. Pound is an understudy of Lady Loran's own personal Song Bird. She is an expert in covert operations and counter intelligence."

"Lady Loran chose wisely," Ms. Pound said with a smile. "Don't fear the shadows, its where I love to play." She gave a nod and walked over and set down across from Astra.

Before he could speak a female voice broke in, "We are wasting valuable time and capital. I am Ms. Zara Eady, Economics and Trade," the women dressed in a simple blazer and skirt said. She walked hastily over to right of Doctor Hartley and set down as she said, "My Lady, this meeting is costing SunCo over fifteen thousand credits an hour. We should hurry up."

The frown on Mr. Luscious' face disappeared, "Lastly we have Mr. Charlee Watterson. A native to Europa but raised in the Core. He is our Environmental Expert" The man smiled and nodded. It was clear he was from Europa by his facial features and black hair. He said down on the left side of Ms. Pound.

"Lady Forma, Lady Loran personally picked these men and women to ensure that your venture here is as profitable as possible," Mr. Luscious. "Lady Forma, your opening statement?"

Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
Tesara watched all of this with interest.  The two people she wanted to hear from the most were Colonel Pacey and Dr. Hartley.  Colonel Pacey was secretly fascinating to her.  She had never seen anyone like him, and wondered what species he was (if not just a different type of human).  He was handsome in an exotic way.  She hoped he didn't turn out to be someone who thought like Lady Loran.  Dr. Hartley seemed poised to be able to assist in the creation and overseeing of treaties.  She said nothing, but listened closely.

Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
" Thank you," Astra said kindly to Mr. Luscious. Then watched the proceedings carefully. Ms. Pound made her nervous and some of the things being said activated her but she remains calm and composed. Growing up in a Jedi academy had its advantages.

Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava listened as Luscious introduced everyone her eyes widen in surprise hearing how much this meeting was costing Sun co. She wondered where exactly the money went to, most likely the guest and food for this lunch meeting. Hearing about the nanny ava sighed softly and give a nod of understanding. " Right, than I shall make this opening short as possible. Frist off I would like to say its a pleasure to meet all of you and that I look forward to working with all of you.  Second I want to feel that you all  can speak freely here. Lastly I would like to hear from Colonel Pacey about your report "

TheTraveler — 06/15/2021
Colonel Pacey rose to his feet, "Thank you Lady Forma," he said sternly. "Over the past three years, SunCo has been able to amass forty eight hundred troops on world. During the last few weeks, Lady Loran dropped five times that number to render aid to the Phu Cuong Clan. While their enemies have been driven back, it was only a short term solution to a larger conflict. With Lady Loran's departure, so goes her House Guard. Our Current totals remain at forty eight hundred troops with heavy equipment. We are supported by the Repulse, a CR 70 Corvette and a group of other support vessels."

He moved a data card to its port and a hologram of Baklid came to life. "We have two thousand troops located at the Refinery in Clovale. Another two thousand troops are spread out across the government forces act as trainers to the local militia. Their current mission of assessing which units are capable and loyal is still ongoing. At this moment, all we can report is the First Royal Guard remains loyal to the Queen. The 5th Royal Guard appears to have a fanatical loyalty to the Prime Minister. The loyalty of the remaining twenty three other units that belong to Baklid's Armed Forces remains questionable. However, I wouldn't expect any support or shift in loyalty from Baklid's navy. The Prime Minister completed a purge of all non-loyal offices.

The Secret Police has also started to arm up special units called Protection Squads. Currently there are only a few dozen of these squads with each having between twenty to forty personal. However, these personal are highly fanatical to the Prime Minister and are receiving military level training to include heavy equipment. In Rotterdam, the Baklid Armed Forces are currently undergoing an expansion to their bases. We believe that they are going to be recruiting more of these Protection Squads."

"Beyond these deployments, I have chosen to keep eight hundred troops here at the Capital to ensure the protection of SunCo's interests."

he paused then shifted the map to solely Europa, "as for the conflict, There is stiff fighting in the River Country of Europa. Thanks to the crushing victory Phu Cuong Clan enjoyed over their enemies, the Clan has been able to push deeper in to enemy territory. Argos just delivered a large shipment of walkers to the Baklid military. Which means that the conflict is about to change. Once the enemy realizes that they can't win on the battlefield, you can expect a massive change in tactics. Bombings, and assassinations of local leaders and commanders will become the new warfare of Baklid. As this tactic continues, more and more innocent lives will be lost."

He moved the map to reflect the western most mountain ranges, "this is the heart of the resistance. However getting there is next to impossible. Due to shifting extreme weather conditions, only a land approach is possible. However an Orbital Bombardment is out of the question. Below the mountains, trapped, is toxic gases that could leave much of the world lifeless. It would take billions of credits to repair the damage. At this time, this heart of our enemy is simply out of our reach."

"That is the military assessment of the situation here on Baklid," he said with a slight bow. "Any questions Lady Forma."

Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra looked to ava. She wanted to ask what none violent solutions they had tried. But did not know if she could speak up. If she was not careful she would blow her cover.

The military Assessment made Astra's blood boil. All the work her mother had done to end this war undone in a matter of months. This only served to drive home that failed was not an option.
