Kaine looked at the Viscount in quiet surprise for the Jutraalian was a military officer. Self proclaimed, yes, but his persona did radiate a military bearing.
“Advanced Strategy, Viscount. Advanced Strategy.” He started. “I personally have contempt for force users, especially (with a few exceptions) given their performance in the galaxy. However, I do have a healthy respect for their power. Therefore I will not ignore them nor will I simply leave their influences to chance.
If you tell me that you keep your Jedi sentiments under heel in your empire, then I am satisfied. Personally, I would dislike seeing revolution come to the Jutraalians. Especially one led by Jedi.”
Kaine grimaced at the thought of such an occurance. “It would be.. inconvenient.”
He shook the Viscount’s hand. A firm handshake. Confident. Someone that could be respected. “I appreciate the use of your ships. Once they have signaled, we shall proceed. They will be traveling under communications blackout, but once they have reached their assigned designation, the ships will be free to contact your Fleet Command to inform them of their position.”
Turning to the newcomer, Kaine eyed him. “I needed to know that what you call the “Shadow Jedi” was free of any Jedi sentiments and influence. The last thing you or I need is to have Leia Organa Solo leading a revolution within TJE space supported by an Order led by your emperor. The Viscount has informed me of the impossibility of such a scenario. I expect and trust that his word will be honored by all in the Shadow Jedi organization.
My compliments to your Emperor for the dining experience. The Empire will soon reciprocate his grand hospitality.”
And with that, Simon Kaine, General of the Empire, walked out of the small office and into the room where he had been accosted by some hooded figure. His officers were the only people present.
“Where did our unpleasant Jutraalian go?” Kaine inquired to a female officer.
“He seemed to fidget and then left.” She answered shrugging. “The shuttle is ready for departure.”
Kaine nodded and the officers walked back to the Imperial Shuttle accompanied by Jutraalian soldiers or honorguards.
Depends on how you look at it.
The shuttle returned to the Galactus without incident.
“Prepare for departure. Once we have cleared Despayre’s gravity well, begin transmission to begin collecting the Jutraalian vessels assigned to our command. Once we have them, begin an exit vector from the system and set a course for Ralltiir.”
“Aye Sir.”
