The petite young knight merely listened, leaning against the wall, occasionaly taking a breath of air from her oxygen mask. As if against her own impulse, her hand went up when Everett asked if there were any questions, “Will there be renewed attempts to establish communication with this dark Jedi, perhaps to find a peaceful compromise or resolution to the conflict?”
She was eager to pursue a non-violent solution, as was taught to her, yet, should the time come, she was also ready to administer aggresive defense for the city and its inhabitants.

Lucien Malvern turns to a female who spoke up, indicating an attempt to make a peaceful resolution.
Peace? Peace with a Dark Jedi? I daresay the time for a peaceful attempt has ended. Look at this city, the ships brought down by the dark magic at this warlord's hands, and beyond this battlefield. My father died at the hands of the first of these warlords and I will not make peace with those who killed innocents and brought nothing but instability and death to my home for the sake of their selfish gains and desires.
Peaceful talks with a Dark Jedi, impossible. Lucien Malvern would rather see this man killed for his crimes. True, such sentiments were not good for a man who was raised as a Jedi Lord, but this anger was beyond personal. Duke Malvern loved his home planet and had seen what these tyrants and despots had done to his once peaceful home. This Dark Jedi would either have to be destroyed or thrown off this planet by force.
This planet has endured years of warfare, urged on by petty warlords and their desire for chaos. The only way to ensure peace is to grind these warmongers into dust and secure this planet by military might. I say there can be no peace with any of these warlords who upset and smashed the peace of Serenno.

Maximus remained standing in the back of the assembled group as Everett delivered his briefing on the situation in Saffia. It seemed the warlords had left no place untainted as they fought to consolidate their power and come out on top. But judging by the group assembled within this room, he was not the only Jedi leading a resistance on Serenno. And now, here they all were, assembled in one room together. His gaze shifted from Everett to a woman making use of a medical mask then. It was a little hard to believe someone would ask if a peaceful resolution could be reached with a Dark Jedi. Especially after a pair of ships had just been pulled from the air and crashed into the city. But given he was merely here to lend aide to Everett's quest, he had thought better of reprimanding the young woman.
A feeling that was not apparently shared by the Serennian Noble who spoke up a few moments later. His passion clearly getting the better of the man in this situation. While he agreed with the sentiment that there could be no compromise with a Dark Jedi, it would serve no good if they became the very thing they sought to destroy
Careful there friend... You're starting to sound like the very people we're fighting against... I do not disagree that a madman is incapable of reason. But there is no sense in losing our own...

*It was not a perfect system but this was definitely one way to start to get a measure of potential new allies. He could appreciate Lyrica's desire for a peaceful resolution, admire it even, unfortunately that was an idealistic solution that would never work, at least not in this scenario. Malvern obviously had strong feelings on the matter and the greying investigator, made a mental note to keep an eye on the younger man. It wouldn't do anyone any good if his passion drives him down a path just as dark. Raising his hands to interrupt the back and forth he addresses the young noble directly* "Your passion is admirable, but I become concerned by ANYONE who thinks violence is the sole solution." *He gives that only a moment to sink it before continuing, letting the implications sink in. He was a Jedi Master after all and he wouldn't allow his city to become the staging point for a crusade of violence against the universe.* "You are however correct on one count, Larcener will not go quietly. He has decided Saffia is his and he will bring his considerable might against anyone who stands in his way." *Turning to Lyrica for a moment his expression softens and his tone becomes slightly more gentle.* "If I could imagine a scenario in which this conflict ends without further bloodshed and be sure the bloodshed wouldn't just move to somewhere else I would pursue it immediately. Unfortunately even if we could negotiate with him for our own sakes he would only move on to other targets, something we can not allow."
*Turning back to the gathering as a whole he stood up just a little straighter as he started to outline his plan.* "That being said, there is an option that might allow for a minimum of bloodshed. For once with your help "He gestures vaguely at the assembled visitors* we have a much stronger bargaining position. This gives us the opportunity that wasn't present up until now. *He takes a short breath before revealing his plan* "I plan to challenge Larcener to a duel for the end of this war." *He stopped here to allow whatever reactions or objections that might be had. He spared a moment to look at Bushfire and Gale, who stood there exchanging shocked looks. They hadn't been informed of this plan until this moment, in fact Everett hadn't made the plan until halfway to this room about 10 minutes ago.

-Gale Wrightstar-If I may? He started off quietly, looking over at his master’s look. He was not met with resistance or condemnation form James, rather an expression that said both “Go on, you’re an adult” and “be careful what you say in my stead.” Gale nodded at James and turned to Master Stone. Standing straight and at attention, he habitually tugged at his robes to straighten them out.As admirable as one on one combat is, and with all due respect, are you suggesting that we leave should you not succeed at your task. Likewise, are you assuming that those who serve this Larcener would equally stand down at his defeat? If he is killed, would not someone attempt to rise up in his stead and attempt to take on the mantle, if not through sheer ability perhaps by pure arrogance and charisma? If you- He stopped at the light force tug at the back of his robes. Bowing his head, he stepped back just behind James who offered the datapad back to the boy with instructions he had quickly jotted down. Forgive me, masters. I take my leave. James patted him on the back as he turned to leave. He walked along the wall behind everyone and quietly slipped out the door to fulfill the orders granted to him. - James Edward Wright – He watched as his adepts slipped out and faced the council.We should be prepared to continue the fighting should Larcener’s defeat cause an uproar among his loyal followers. I believe that the key to this is to create fortified areas in the city to defend from as we continue to push the insurgency. I can have a fresh company here in 36 hours to begin efforts as needed.He turned to the door where Gale had left before turning back toward the council.Sourcing further supplies – food, medicine, and temporary shelter – will take a little longer, but the first deliveries can be here in a week. |

==Return of the Jedi (Lords) SL==
<<108 PP; P5 Sector, Serenno>>
Hearing that this group had been attempting to contact the main order, it was clear her news delivered in orbit hadn't yet reached down this far. As the first source of that news, she was probably the best equipped to deliver it again, even if the thought of drawing the attention of the entire room to herself, & the impact of the news, was far from pleasant.
-Mary
Your requests haven't fallen on deaf ears. The Order is crippled, possibly destroyed. The Alliance is in much the same shape. I saw Felucia fall with my own eyes. I just came from there. I have heard scattered reports that Mon Cala has suffered as badly, if not worse. We are on our own, for now at least.

Walking into the conversation a bit late Ivoj heard Lucien speak about not making peace with the Dark Jedi. Nodding as he made his way to the far side of the room he agreed with the man. Peace is only an option when the other party is willing to listen. Up until now there had been no attempt to make peace with them and vice versa. The only way to stop this fighting was to face it head on. No matter the cost.
Should we go through with this attempt to stamp out this evil at the root I propose we dont put all our eggs in one basket.
Turning to James he continued Im sorry sir but we have tried the defensive for a year and I am sure you can see where it got us. This is the closest that Larcner has come to taking the city but it has been this bad for a long time. The only thing keeping his power at bay is Everette here. Him and the blood of countless Saffians. I think we should try something else.
If Everette wants to go through with his one on one duel we shouldn't waste the opportunity to attack while he distracts Larcner.
If what she he motioned towards Mary says is true about The Jedi and Dac are true then we are on our own here. We should use any advantage we can to stop further loss of life, and with the help of the offered fresh troops it might be enough to do just that.

Lyrica bowed her head lightly towards Lucien when he responded quite energetically in the negative to her idea. She personally believed that peace could always be sought out, but perhaps many believed it a pipe dream at this point here. She could hardly blame them. Everett spoke and laid out his plans. An honorable combat to the death to determine victory. But still none believed his forces would honour the terms even if the Defenders won.
Gale, Mary and Ivoj all spoke in turn, laying out ideas, bringing more news, and making contingency plans. Ultimately, everything hinged on what seemed to be the final battle for Saffia, and if wasn't long before it would take place. “When will you issue the challenge, Master Stone?” asked Lyrica, “If you wish it, I can send out a call to my people. They are all Jedi and trained from the time we could walk. Short lived as we are because of the Sith curse, we are ready and willing to join your cause to fight for this world and its liberation from the dark side and oppressive regimes.”
She had been considering making this offer, but had wanted to see for herself what Everett and his allies were made of. After so much time spent, she was ready to commit, and convince her people to come to the aid of the people of Serenno.

Maximus listened to the ensuing discussion as Everett laid out his plan to challenge the Dark Jedi behind this whole affair. A plan which was met with some skepticism by his fellow Jedi that had been summoned here. And while their various plans and information were not particularly comforting, he did agree with them. There was no guarantee that this man's forces would stand down should he be defeated. After all, everyone gathered here seemed to be in agreement that they would not stand down should Larcener win the duel
I think we can all agree that one duel will not completely decide the fate of this city. But it will go a long way toward giving Master Stone a chance to bring an end to the Dark Jedi that has been assaulting Saffia for so long... I also think we owe it to the survivors of this assault not to delay it any longer... The Jedi Order probably believed they could file reports of this uprising away for months so that they could prepare and gather a force to bring here. And look what happened there...
He turned to face Edward then, given the man had yet to introduce himself by name
If we wait as long as you propose, then the fight here will long be over and that temporary shelter will be needed by those that have survived long enough to see their homes taken from them... thirty six hours is not a luxury we can afford to allow Larcener. In the same time we can try and continue a defense here, he can gather and recruit fresh forces from across this world to begin a renewed offensive... And the next time he does, he might decide to pull something to the surface a little bigger than the pair of ships he did this time...

Supplies, troops, and other necessities that could not come from the outside it seemed...

Even trade was being stifled due to the Imperial hold on Taris.Troops and supplies can be given out from my domains personally. On my way here, I saved threatened lords and tore down tyrants. As a result, my forces have been able to amass a surplus of necessities. What hasn't been dispensed already can be routed to your armies and personal entourages. However, with a few of my ships destroyed, I will need to call upon additional warships from my domain over at Fiyarro to transport. Otherwise, the secured routes I made along my way can be of use. |

*The old Jedi Investigator took a moment to let the words of the others swing back and forth for a moment, studying each as they talked, taking in not only the content of their words but also the way they said them and the passions behind them. It seemed like everyone had their own reasons for being here and while he gave their words all a fair weight he knew what he had to do and he didn't need their permission to do it. Clearing his throat politely he spoke up once again. "I understand your concerns, and honestly I share quite a lot of them, but Larcener is to dangerous to be allowed to continue. That much is clear and this is the most expedient way to remove him. No I don't believe his men will surrender if he is defeated, but Larcener himself is the real threat here. We should be prepared to slug it out with his troops at the end of the contest. I would love to believe honor had a place here, but in truth it comes down to practicality. Remove Larcener and then we can deal with his men. *He made brief eye contact with each person who had pledged future support before continuing* "As much as I would like have as many people and supplies present for this, we are simply out of time. Even with the addition of what you all brought now we just barely held him off. We've been delaying for a year now and anything more would just add to his power base and we could all fall before anyone arrived. I plan to challenge him at the conclusion of this meeting so long as we can get who we have deployed for the duel it needs to go forward as soon as possible, before more people have to die."

Edward listened in silence as each spoke in turn. He knew he was too little and too late to the events that were now unfolding, but at this point, every blade mattered. What was transpiring would shape this planet for the better, he believed, and the words master Stone spoke resonated within him. While he knew his support would still be far too late to the city to make any measurable difference at this point, he was here, as was his adept, and they were better than absence.
My blade is yours.
It was at that time that Gale stepped back into the room and approached Edward to stand by his side, handing the datapad back with feedback from the tower.
That long, eh?
Edward muttered under his breath to which Gale only nodded and looked around the room. Edward whispered to his Adept.
Well, time is not on our side anyway, Gale. We will muster what we can and hold out. At least Aayla’s team will be here in a few hours. Support will be here in time to clean up from our little soiree, but in the meantime, I sense that all of our will combined will sure give them hell.

Growing Stronger entered the city's air space and found its designated landing zone. As the decent and landing began, Abi and Alesha had made their way to the ramp. As it descended, they disembarked, surrounded by their personal guard. Alesha walking a pace behind her granddaughter, steadying herself on her cane. Looking around at the devastated city she could not help but show her sorrow and pity for the people. As they waited for the those who would take them to meet with the Duke and his allies, a crowed of common folk gathered around. The old among them recognized the crest of House Bruce. An excited murmurer went thru the crowd as they realized that both Alesha, and now a grown up Lady Abi. had returned to Serenno and had survived the coup that drove them from the planet.

Fresh from the meeting with Lord Stone and the others, Duke Malvern was seen coming down to where the makeshift landing pads were. Saffia was a complete disaster, considering how long it had endured the siege by the Dark Jedi. A Coalition of sorts seemed to have been officially formed among the like-minded Jedi and it seemed Serenno was well on its way to be relieved of these dark days and the warlords that plagued its surface. Escorted by a pair of Malvern Knights, Lucien approaches the Baroness, bowing his head in courtesy to the returning native.
Lady Bruce, it is good to see another of Serenno's natives return to us.
Lucien turns then to the elder Alesha, bowing his head respectful to the elder.
My Lady, my father once spoke highly of you. It is unfortunate that he could not be here to meet you in person.

Both women smiled at the young duke and curtsied. Abi was smooth, elegant, and steady; Alesha used her cane to steady herself as she went down and back up. Her smile was one that only a grandmother could have, but her eyes darted between the duke and the baroness. Knowing that with just the two of them, House Bruce would need to rebuild some how. Abi was also thinking along similer lines, and as far as people her grandmother would likely attempt to set her up with, Duke Malvern was not a bad option, in her oppinion. She was also, in the same vane, happy she was wearing one of her most faltering dresses.=Abigail=A pleasure to meet you, Duke Malvern. I had hoped to return to the Serenno that I knew as a child, but since that is not the will of the Force, I shall do what I can to restore our world, and bring Her people back out of these dark days. Abi curtsied again.=Alesha=Your father was a good man, Duke. I doubt you remember me, but I knew you when you stood not even this high. She lifted her cane about half a meter off the ground. And I know your father would be proud of you and the work you are doing here. As with what my granddaughter said, we have been gone too long and have much to make up for.

Duke Malvern bows his head once more, acknowledging the statements said by both women. His eyes would linger on Abigail for a bit longer than before however.

However, there was much to do while Lord Stone challenged this Dark Jedi to combat. While this was going on, others with troops and ships needed to go about smashing the remaining warlords, freeing the planet, and establishing order once more. Most notably, the remaining army outside of Saffia.Gentlemen and Ladies, I believe that with our goal in mind, we should declare a coalition, a union, between ourselves. In order to pool manpower and resources together. I say that we establish this as the Alliance, a truly potent force that will see this planet free.Duke Malvern spoke with passion and determination. His eyes looking at all those present.Together, as a united force, we will issue forth and strike down the rebel troops that have made Saffia suffer for so long. As an alliance of men and women, dedicated to see this city, its people, and the whole of the planet be made free once more, we will fight all our might to seeing this dark force broken and scattered to the wind. An example for all who have opposed us and made the people suffer to know that the Force is with a united army of Jedi.

Maximus turned his attention back to Duke Malvern then, as the Serennian noble proposed a coalition of those Jedi that were gathered. the Alliance. While the name was a little vague, their end goal and mission statement were the important parts. And that certainly did not disappoint. It was a noble goal, that those gathered would surely be able to agree upon
A noble goal Lord Malvern... While my resources here are limited, should we survive this day, then the Saurian Nation will pledge its resources to our allies in this... Alliance...
It was one thing to lead Jedi and others in a fight. But if the events across Serenno were anything to go by, there would be people looking to him to lead them. And then, he would need to engage in the one activity that had lead to his exile

Extending her hand toward one of the Guardsmen that accompanied her, a lightsaber was placed in Abigail's hand. She attached it to her belt and moved forward toward the Duke and moving on to the government center. The Baroness wished to no longer waist time on basic pleasantries. Alesha followed, utilizing Force Valor as she revealed that the top of her cane was indeed a saber hilt, holding it at her her side till the need arose. As the group made their way toward the government center, Abi spoke to the Duke again.=Abigail=I thank you for your kindness, Duke.
