Just a normal day 7/27/21
The following takes place after Ava and Nova speak on the phone.
The morning had been long grueling morning for Ava. Her team has lined up some twenty specialist from throughout SunCo's many operations within the Baklid system. Ava never knew how vast of an operation SunCo had within the system. There were no less than ten mining outfits across the system's three asteroid belts. Two shipyards, one orbital, and one on Baklid 2. SunCo runs a massive farming complex on Baklid 5. And then there were the secret Black Works Division, which Ms Pound ensured were only known to the Executive Staff and Lady Forma. Such sites like the secret Ewok range hidden somewhere in the Europa Mountains. It was long and grueling to hear report after report.
"The Prime Minister has left the Capital for Rotterdam. He is continuing his efforts to bring the Jedi back in to his corner," Ms Pound said softly, "though I have caught word that one of the Prime Minister's aides departed Baklid shortly after the Jedi lifted their blockaid of the system."
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 07/27/2021
Ava trusted them to be able to handle the climate change that would be eventually coming to Balkid Two. As she listened to the long grueling reports. Hearing that the Prime Minister left the Capital for Rotterdam. " why would he go to Rotterdam to do that? " addressing that matter frist before she address the blockade question she had.
TheTraveler — 07/27/2021
Ms. Pound frowned, "From what my contacts are telling me, he is trying to show the Jedi why they need to be invested his little war. With him, is our new asset, the Jedi Hunter Quinn, as well as three other Masters from the Order. The plan is to show of the work programs the Refinery project has created as well as to show them the chaos of the conflict."
Colonel Pacy rose to his feet, "intelligence has placed several large rebel forces within two days of Rotterdam. By sidelining the Phu Cuong, rebels have become more and more emboldened. Poor moral across the ranks of the Government Forces has only made this situation worse." He paused, "my contacts are telling me that there is a increased amount of traffic between cells within Rotterdam and rebel forces beyond. They are planning something big."
Governor Ava Forma — 07/27/2021
Ava frowned as she listened she didn't honestly think the jedi would assist even after all that. It seemed the Jedi here took care of thire own agendas. If it was force sensitive related than they may get involved. Though she had to wonder how many at the camps were force sensitive. " what do we know of this Phu Chong? " frowning more not liking the words of planning something big it was a possibility the missing six child may be used in this operation. Nothing said planning something big like a explosive.
TheTraveler — 07/27/2021
Colonel Pacy gave the floor to Doctor Dex Hartley who stood up at the other two took their seats. "Thank you Lady Forma," he said in a prefect tone and voice. "The Phu Chong is one of the more developed clans of local savages. For decades they have backed the Government and Royal family of Baklid. This has earned them to ire of their fellow Clans. Though through trade, they had grown powerful thanks to their Government Allies. As of late, Lady Loran put the screws to their Clan Leader and forced him to pull his troops from supporting the Government. This had had a great deal of affect on the front lines."
Governor Ava Forma — 07/27/2021
Ava frowned at the word that was used. She understood the views of the prime and the paralment along with the views of the senior. While she agreed both sides was out of control the proper term would be rebels since that what they were behaving like. As she listened silently. Not commenting her option into this since it would just be a distraction from the current discussion. As she nodded her head understanding. "Oh well that is a good out come " it would give her room to come in once she was prime to strength it back up. For now a weaker government was a good thing it show the prime minister had very little control. " I know that the jedi are netual at the moment but I do wonder if we can come up with away for them to simply continue to say out of this. With the failer of the support of the jedi this may benefit the long game. Any suggestions? "
TheTraveler — 07/28/2021
Doctor Hartley smiled, "actually Lady Forma," he said with a board smile as if like a predator and Ava stepped in to his trap.
"I have been researching members of the new Jedi Academy here in the Capital," he said pulling his data. "I have selected three Masters. Each of them have special qualities," the word qualities was given inference. "This would make them more receptive to gentle nudgings."
He handing a data card over to Mr. Luscious, who brought it to Lady Forma. As she opened up the proposal as he continued.
"My plan is to invite these three Masters to a grand tour of the grounds and Founder's Room. The tour to be hosted by our own Lady Tesara and Lady Astra."
"During the tour and set up as a second event, I have scheduled a PR event with you and several media outlet including CNN and BBC."
He smiled, "if the private tour happens to be observed by the media, you will softly dismiss their assumptions and claim its a purely Jedi Matter and SunCo has agreed to allow the tour." His smile slipped only slightly, "I will get with your PR team and have an prepared statement ready for you when it happpens."
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 07/28/2021
Ava noticed the board smile on Doctor Hartley's face. As she listened to his words. Picking up on what he was telling her. " Thank you Doctor Hartley. " as she gave a nod. " I shall set up someone to invite the new media and inform the Ladies of the tour they will be giving. "
TheTraveler — 07/28/2021
He smiled and nodded with delight that his idea had been accepted. "You need to do nothing, Lady Forma," he said happily. "I will tend with all the details. If you can, please inform Lady Astra and Lady Tesara of their commitment this afternoon. I will notify your Assistant of the change of venue in your schedule."
He bowed again, and took his seat.
Mr. Luscious turned to Ava, "is there anything else you require My Lady."
Governor Ava Forma — 07/28/2021
Ava nodded her head understanding seemed like the only thing she would have to do is inform Tesara and Astra that they will be giving these three jedi a tour. Seemed simple enough. As she nodded her head before turning her head towards Ms.Pound. "I want to know more of these Phu Cuong. They seem to be confusing to me. On one hand, they are Enxophobic. On the other, their chieftain goes and adopts a Delphin girl."
TheTraveler — 07/28/2021
Ms. Pound rose to her feet, "Lady Forma," she said softly pulling up her datapad. "Yes Ma'am," she took her notes, "I can have your first update tomorrow morning."
Governor Ava Forma — 07/28/2021
" thank you Ms.Pound " as she took an moment to think deeply about anything she would like to discuss. Giving a coy smile " ah yes, if I remember correctly from the reports of the queen. The queen was caught leaving the system for a secert lovers meeting with the naughty Durro Thel-Tanis, how was she able to slip under the jedi's noses without being caught or atlesst spotted in the first place? "
Governor Ava Forma — 07/28/2021
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/28/2021
Ms. Pound smiled and motioned toward Colonel Pacy, "I believe the good Colonel has your answer."
Colonel Pacy slowly rose from his chair and nodded towards Lady Forma, "When we took over possession of the Palace and its vehicles, we also learned a great deal about the system and the family that ruled it. My team was in charge of collected all the data and passing it on. One of our techs managed to pull from the Royal Yacht coordinates for a hyperspace line that we suspect the Government, the Republic, nor the Jedi are aware of." He frowned, "for security reasons we have set on this information. We have sent a small prob droid and found that the line runs from here to Lanus."
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 07/28/2021
Ava listened finding this information most useful. " probably wise to keep it that way specially for the job that have been required. Talking about the parts " could I get those coordinates? " just incase she had to send Tesara. If Kaleb was unable to go there she needed to create a backup plan for the trip there.
TheTraveler — 07/29/2021
Colonel Pacy slowly tilted his head to the side suspiciously, "your security is my primary priority. I have a craft standing by should you require evacuation, and I have preprogrammed the line in to your crafts own nav computer."
He smiled as he righted his head, "they are all encoded to prevent this secret from slipping out. Should the Jedi or the Government discover our find, your life could be at risk during a crisis situation," the old officer explained.
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
Ava understood completely " than let's keep it that way. " hoping she wouldn't have to use it. Knowing it should only be used in extreme situations like the planet going to blow up. Recalling what happened on Alderaan in her time line. It was always best to have a exit route in any situation cause even if your father is a moth does mean your going be able to get off with clearance. Knowing the other issue was they took to long to get off the ground.
" does anyone have anything else they wish to discuss before we end today's meeting? " ava softly spoke.
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
After the meeting was over ava went off to find Astra and Tesara. Once she found them. " hey guys there is a few things that I need to discuss with you. "
@Astra Korraay
@Tesara Anerin
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
Astra smiled at Ava. " like what?" She asked.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara was in the courtyard with Astra, having just finished lunch. "Hello, Ava. Would you like to meet in a private room or the conference room?"
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
Ava thought it over for an moment " a private room would work nicely . " knowing she would be sharing information what nova gave to her as well.
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
"ok let's go then" astra said with a smile.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara followed, glad that whatever Ava had to tell them, it wouldn't be right here in the open. She was getting paranoid.
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
" Tesara are you ok?" Astra asked noting how quiet her friend was.
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
Ava lead the way as she took them to a private room once inside with the others. Waiting for Tesara to answer Astra's question before she spoke.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
"Yes, I am fine." She smiled. "I have a lot on my mind, that's all."
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
Ava nodded her head understanding that " i believe we all do. Frist topic of discussion I would like to bring up is a favor I need from both of you for today's event. In today's meeting I mentioned how we need the jedi to continue to stay out of aiding the prime minister. So sun co invited three jedi masters to come over for a tour of the founders room. I need you two to give them this tour please " knowing now jedi feel about each other. " I belive they would be more comfortable around you two than with me. " knowing they probably think she would want something from them. Which was probably why her executives suggested Tesara and Astra.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara glanced at Astra, then back at Ava. “I had expected that you might ask that of us.” She said. “We will make sure to be prepared as Jedi to welcome them.”
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
" what is the Founders room" Astra asked?
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara smiled. I didn’t know you hadn’t seen it. I will give you a tour when we are done so you’re prepared.”
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
Astra blinked " I did not even know there was a place called the founders room" She said
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
“is there anything in particular other than Lord Delphinium that you want highlighted on this tour?” She asked Ava.
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
" Lord What? You have to be joking he's here" She said wide eyed.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara smiled warmly at her friend. “It’s quite an experience.” She turned back to Ava. “Will they be allowed to handle any of the items or will security still be in place to prevent that?”
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
"Yes he is, and security is still in place, i know Lady Loran wouldn't want another prize to go missing. This one may cost me my carrier so please make sure they reframe from touching anything. We can show Astra the room after our talk here. "
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara nodded
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
Astra nodded " we may need your help with Criket she is in the royal jail and well Tesara and I can't actually brake her out or we will be taken to starlight." Astra said.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara sighed a little. “ I might want to break her out but that would be foolish. But I would like to go try and talk to her to get some answers. I was hoping to do that today but I will wait until the tour is done and they’ve left. The worst of the guards at the Royal jail can do is tell me no.”
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
" I shall have to wait as well til after the tour. " than sighed softly " they set me up with another tour in the media part " being settle about it " it would be interesting should the two tours accidently bumb into each other " being settled as she suggested a hint. " I will need the location of where exactly Criket is being held. " so she could see exactly what she would be getting herself into. If she had any influence as well.
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
" the Royal jail" astra said confused as to what Ava meant.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
(((OOC, Jess I am super confused, can you check your spelling or context for me? "being settle about it" What does that mean?")))
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
(Subtle like a quiet or unspoken hint)
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara frowned at Ava. "You have another tour happening at the same time as the one we're providing the Jedi?" She sounded surprised. "That doesn't sound like a good idea unless the point is for them to bump into each other. What is the other tour for?" She asked.
"Also, I don't want to involve SunCo in the matter of Cricket at the royal jail. It's a personal matter and I don't want you to feel obligated to help me. As I said, the worst that could happen is they deny my request to see her, in which case I come back here and sit down with Sanja to tell her what I know."
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
( yeah I meant subtle. I cant spell that one apperently. )
" you ask when things occur, you would like to be fill in when I happens. That exactly what am telling you. Also let me see what I am able to do for cricket. I would like to help out if I am able to. I have ways of being subtle about sensitive matters. Moving onto the next agenda. " knowing that time was short.
" I heard back from nova and her discoveries about the bomb. Unfortunately they are her missing children that went missing from Sinya's house after she was picked up. All five of the six bombs they had there she identified as hers. As also discovered what was being targetted the most on baklid. Which was government and republic buildings. Also one of her children is still out there somewhere since only five out of the six bombs she identified as hers. " making sure that was clarified
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
" that's not good" astra said quietly
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara felt her anger rise, but took calm, even breaths to process through it and let it go. She could not control Ava nor Nova, and this was something she could not involve herself in. As soon as she was sure that her anger had flowed through and out and she was back to calm, she spoke quietly. "Ava, everything you are working so hard for could be ruined in a second if anyone finds out about this. That is all I will say about the matter, but I caution you to keep Nova and her 'children' as far under wraps as possible. If the PM gets wind of it, he will roast and fry you and you're done before you've begun." She took a long, deep breath. "And on the heels of that, I am grateful to you for your offer of help with Cricket, but SunCo has to be a shining example of truth and zero corruption and even a hint of a connection to this girl might lead to negative outcomes for you and SunCo. I promise, I will go alone and return quietly without anyone knowing what I am about." she said, her voice firm but not unkind or impatient.
@Governor Ava Forma @Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
Astra started at Tesara " There are ways to move without this coming back on sunco. If Criket is in need of rescue you will not be able to rescue her the hunters will come after you and drag you to starlight Tesara" Astra said.
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara looked at Astra, a bit perplexed. "Astra, I'm not going to try and break her out, I've said this. I am merely going to try to speak to her in the jail, if they will allow it. I am hoping to get some answers from her in order to tell her mother. To try and break her out would be the height of stupidity."
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
Ava nodded her head understanding that if she decided to do a rescue mission she would be on her on. Maybe Ryan would be up for some trouble. Definitely would have to change her appearance. As she remained silent " I belive i may have a exemption who may be behind the bombs but don't have anything soild. All I have to do is find out if my hunch is correct if it is there my be away to clear nova "
Tesara Anerin — 07/29/2021
Tesara fixed Ava with a long, even look. "Nova's actions are coming back around and I am praying it doesn't hit you, Ava. You're doing good here on Baklid." She turned to face Astra. "Come on, I will take you to the founders room so that you can get a feel for it before giving a tour of it." She smiled a little, but there was a sense of tightness about her. Not at Astra or Ava, but tense all the same.
Astra Korraay — 07/29/2021
Astra nodded choosing for now to drop the conversation about cricket. She followed Tesara to the founders room.
Governor Ava Forma — 07/29/2021
