Taken aback by the abrupt incident, Epona backed up and began to rear up. A Togorian Commando gently took her by the bridle -Tog Commando- "Ta bron orm...." Looking up to Epona he spoke - Tog Commando- "Dia dhuit a hEpona.... Fan foill." Several minutes later he let go of the rein -Tog Commando- "slan leat." And she slowly walked down the ramp, saying -Epona- "Slan Agat." Her pace quickly picked up breaking into a healthy trot til she had caught up with the Twi'lecks just outside of Boland's YT 1300. Food and drink had been set out and a famished young woman imbibed liberally

The three Twi'leck girls were all eating. Gid and Alem sat speaking to Boland and Grace while Shakk behind them was talking to Maureen. And her wolfhound. Seeing Epona eating but shyly standing back from the group. Standing God motion ing with her right hand spoke -Gid- "Don't play shy; get over here!" The girl sat back down. Echoing her sister another of the Twi'leck Three yelled -Alem- "Tar ansin chugam anis!"

Epona was well immersed in the culture from which her family sprung. And that noted she enjoyed the hospitality offered. Hey she was shy by nature and did not immediately approach the new matriarch with ease, choosing to remain aloof at the edge of the celebration. There were many questions that she had. Why. Their was a tale to tell there to be sure. But right at the moment the biggest question of interest to her was twofold, namely: who are you and why have you assumed this position. Strong questions loaded with skepticism. Would they be interpreted as a challenge to the legitimacy of this woman? Challenge. Then what an honour fight? She was no coward but she did not want one. At least right now. And for those reasons she had stood back. But Gid called her forward. As for Alem, and somewhat more forcefully. And so she did walking slow over to the group she stood silently before them

Sitting in her simple chair. Well Boland's chair. In front of Boland's ship Grace felt more than out of place. But she wore it well. Her cousin, so she believed, now stood before her. Waiting for her to initiate, which indeed she did -Grace- "Dia dhuit a hEpona, is mise Grainne Mhaol." Right hand flexing out - Grace- "Failte isteach at dteach." Grace felt every bit the impostor, sitting in front of a beat up freighter and talking like the Queen of England, wherever and what ever England was. Boland sat at her side and The Raven nestled on her blind side shoulder

Brows rising at the words Epona listen. And she thought. Grace spoke with authority but there was a humble edge to how she spoke that wasvactually quite disarming; she could work with this woman. To be sure, further discussion was necessary but she already had positive vibes about this. And she spoke The Tongue like a champ. Native!?! Thatwould be awesome. The man with her was obviously important. And he seemed to follow everything this Grace said. And she'd been standing here thinking for now long!?! Say something maybe -Epona- "Go raibh mile maith agat." Then curtsied as best as she could

The man stood suddenly mumbling -Boland- " Failte romhaibh." Then with a deep now to all walking away. Grace nodded and said -Grace- "Ceart. Is feidir labhair linn." Looking to the two Twi'leck girls then up to Epona -Grace- "Sinn fein." And indeed they did. Laying down everything known between the four. Respect and order existed, in as much as that was required but no arrogant, transparently exhibitions of power materialized. Quite commendable of each of them. At some point Grace turned her head looking around -Grace- "Where's Maureen and The hound?" A smile growing on her face -Grace- "There she, they are - With your sister." Her sudden fear settled and she returned to casually addressing the three women

The chat was engaging, so Gid believed. The woman, Grainne... Grace was quite approachable. Down to earth really. And they had a lot to discuss. They all had individual wants, needs, goals - whatever you call it. And they all were devoted to the greater good. Family. Was no argument there. Then came the question of just what to do. And straight away capital came to question. But apparently Morrigan took care of that issue. Did she ever. Gid smiled. Next they spoke of how restrictive the universe had become. But Grace brought up some interesting points to that effect. It sounded convoluted at first but Gid got it. Simple really. They had freedom. All they needed to do was to begin exercising it.... Alem, who although her intimidating build and athleticness were her forte, was quite intelligent, listened far more than she spoke. And she concured with the larger part of what was said And as her sisters and cousins plotted their very existence in the wider universe, Shakk was toying with the cute little girl with all those gnarly powers and the enormous wolfhound she had. Was fun really. And it was educational

Epona listened. At least while she was conscious. The poor woman had existed somewhere between periods of acute sleep deprivation, bouts of fitful uneven sleep and complete coma for years. Now here in a this new environment she was exceptionally comfortable. And as consequence she passed out. Yet while the body slept her mind worked overtime. Perhaps what transpired some would classify as a dream cycle but the whole phenomenon was more accurately classified as a neurological occurrence. All sounds about as comfortable as a full body cavity search. Well let's not get too carried away. Where were we? Right! The centuar's ... episode is most easily described as a sort of inventory performed on the section, or sections of the brain where memories are stored

Gid and Alem sat talking with Grace. After some time Shakk approached and asked -Shakk " Gid... Alem. Do you believe that droids have rights?" Right palm smacking her forehead Gid sighed as the girl beside her asked -Alem- "Why? What is it now?" She shrugged - Shakk- "Just wondering...." One of her siblings responded -Gid- "Just like I wonder about how much cleaning you could get done it you wasted less time thinking about frivolous things?" Although Alem agreed quite strongly with Gid, in an attempt to change the subject she pondered -Alem- "Wonder if it was tough being in the 501st, Vader's Fist?" Gid did not delay, responding -Gid- "Bet it wasn't near as tough as being in the 66th, Vader's Testes." Both girls laughed hysterically as their sister mumbled -Shakk- "I don't get it...."

The little girl liked the Twi'leck. Shack. Boland lived in a shack. Apparently a lot of people did. She didn't look that big but she didn't want to pry too much. Just yet. Twilecks were like humans. Just tiny differences. They were allllllllllllllll kinds of different colors. And they had too much skin, so They had two balloons on their heads. And some had drawing on themselves. Looked like the ones Boland had. Tattoos. She hoped she could get one some day too. Stopping for a moment and running hands over head she frowned; she wanted some.... What did they call them? Testicles! That was it! No. Her little mind worked overtime, as did all children. But Maureen knew things. Many she did not understand. Often she had gotten in trouble for asking about something that she was aware of but could not comprehend. Boland said to Grainne that adults were ignorant asswipes. She could ask Bolanf anything. And he would bust anyone's nose who do much as breathed on her. She liked Boland. Looking up at Shack she asked, eyes full of innocent curiosity -Maurren- "How come you and your sisters have testicles on your heads?"

The young Twi'leck had been playing with the little girl for some time. She liked kids as a rule; They were honest, among other noble attributes that adults oft discarded so subconsciously as they aged. And her dog was an absolutely stunning specimen. She was exceptionally interested but did not press. Rather she chose to play with the girl and let the chips fall as they ma y. The question would insult some but Shakk laughed. When she had collected herself she answered -Shakk- "They're called lek honey." Here she stopped

Wide eyed the little girl listened and responded -Maureen- "Ohhhh...." then casually added -Maureen- "And leeku for two -right?" Meanwhile, stting in front of Boland's Yt 1300 the man watched as Grace spoke to the Twi'leck girls and the Centuar. It was quite interesting watching Grace. She was truly a remarkable woman. He looked at the guests. Allies he guessed was more appropriate. Now what he wondered. Now what. Grace, now sitting beside him was set to answer that question. An answer that all around them were eagerly awaited an answer to. Clearing her through the woman began her address -Grace- "Let us first set the record straight as to what we do not want. Looking around her -Grace- "Here we are doing everything that we wish to avoid. We are occupying a tract of land. And we will hold it." Eyes thinning - Grace- "As a rule we wish to influence not control." Looking at each of the girls -Grace- "Controling a territory requires great resources and manpower." Nodding in agreement with herself -Grace- "And it ties one down." Now shaking her head -Grace- "we must avoid that albatross at all costs." Looking down she continued to speak -Grace- I have addressed this before, we become what is known generally as an luct siuil - the walking people, In Standard in our people case An Luct Siuil Dubh." In her own now, her voice rose up -Grace- "Wanderers. ..... Travelers, as many translate into Standard. And we do just that." Now in a dull roar -Grace- "We threaten no one but stand for what we are - to death." One eye burning with emotion -Grace- "We survive; we prevail; we prosper." teeth baring her right fistsht towards the sky - Grace- "O'Dhuibh abu!!!"

Watching Gid was moved. Reminiscent really of an older voice from the past. And what's more they were words that she could get behind, so her arm lifting she howled defiantly -Gid- "O'Dhuibh abu!" Swept up by the emotion Alem too cried out fiercely -Alem- "O'Dubhui abu!!!" Having stepped into the address, Shakk too screamed out, with her hand held high - Shakk- "O'Dhuibh abu!!!"

Was the time for talk near over? Epona wondered. The words were strong to be sure but some substance was needed here. The woman joined the title wave, her fisted hand sailing high she howled to the High Heavens above she srceamed out -Epona- "O'Dhubhui abu!!!" And inside her spirit screamed silently to run free. What plans for this woman have? Did she have any? Epona waited....

The right fists of the men of Oglaigh na Iarndoideanna to the man shot to the sky as they joined in the War Cry -Oglaigh na Iarndoideanna- "O'Dhubhui abu!" The colonel and his sergeant stood but a meter away watching, both itching to move. The colonel muttered -Colonel O'Dubhui- "Where is this Bey Kahn?"

Boland for one was sick to death of high talk. He joined in the fervent declaration of loyalty. But as a soldier he knew that this must be all clearly laid out in exacting detail if it ever had a snowball's chance in Hell to be anything more than empty words. So he watched and waited somewhat disenchanted. Grace herself sensed that this was the moment. She spoke forcefully -Grace- "O'Dubhui, my soldier. Listen close." Then snapping fingers -Grace- "I have heard the tales of our ancient past. Read the tracts of recent history. Now, we are burdened with the yoke of responsibility.... Of writing history ourselves." Head down but voice clear her words came out slowly -Grace- "Let us lift this from here words of inspiration to an exact plan." Right hand turning out to her sinister side - Grace- "Now O'Rathallie; O'Maolchonaire.... Take this as it falls from my lips. Then render in to paper in a clear, organized draft."

Both Torna O'Maolchonaire and Aogan O'Rathallie were captured by the momentary surge of nationalist pride and they too joined in, O'Maolchonaire standing and howling -Torna O'Maolchonaire- "O'Dhuibh adu!!!" Followed but seconds behind him by O'Rathallie, he too rising up to his feet and yelling as his right fist shot up -Aogan O'Rathallie- O'Dhuibh abu!!!" Both then took their respective chairs and began transcribing the words of Grace the transforming them into a tight polished form.

As The Elders laboured away transforming the spoken word into text Boland leaned in examining the product of this endeavour. Indeed, he had great reverence for both their station and the fruits produced by this institution. Furthermore, the man was a student supporter of Grace's position as the absolute authority of the family. That noted, the man did not observe these elders or Grace as being above criticism. Furthermore, Boland was convinced that this creation of what was essentially a constitution must include vigorous input from all members of the party. And in the spirit of these beliefs he entertained what many would consider rash behaviour. The document itself was a brief but still no more than a draft and a rich quantity of information was scattered around the table. Boland found it hard to comprehend how they possibly working in such a mess but their method was not his matter of contention

A ship quietly set down in an section of the city now occupied by the Godless insurgents. Kannu exited the ship and dragging his deadbeat friend along with him. Several troops stopped the men. The ship was boarded and inspected. The men too were searched and questioned. Under guard they then made their way to the meeting

This was the place. Di knew that. But as he looked around he did not see his man. Speaking to a Tog Commando he asked -Di- " Where would I find Kieran and Laoch?" That set off a conversation that we'll spare you the details off because engaging as it might well be the whole thing was pretty irrelevant to our ongoing story, which one deserve to have become more needlessly bloated than it already did. One very significant thing is that Di became keenly aware of what was going down here and it more than peaked his interests. He had some idea of what was transpiring here but as his knowledge expanded the more and more interesting this wandering became. Turning he shouted -Di- "Oi Kannue, get over here and listen. Told ya that something fresh was going down here."
