”Yes! You are right. So, in order to create a more peaceful connection between moisture farmers and Jawas it’s important we speak with all connections along the line. We must create cooperation between them. This will require that we gain the support of influential families in the area. Your...
Silvus continued to debate back and forth with the governor. Each time he felt doubt, he stabbed into the little marks of insecurities that once in a while became visible in the politician, all under the impression of being concerned for his wellbeing or career. But it couldn’t be further for...
”The Jawa’s have for many years been a great example of utilizing whatever materials they can find in order to survive, despite dire situations. But moisture farmers are frequently competing them for territory and driving them off the land. Thus, forcing Jawas into a never-ending circle of...
The Zeltron chose to smile as his only reply to Linjal’s threat. They were in the middle of possible disaster, and threats was one of his main objectives? A response would only slow their progress. So instead, Silvus rolled his eyes in the matter that usually only were reserved for rebellious...
The Governor folded his hands, a little unsure of how to respond to this and the large purple man in front of him.
“My condolences. It must be a tremendous shock for everyone”.
Silvus shook his head.
“Ha! Nono, it was much worse than what you may think. Fatherhood!”
With befuzzled blinking...
”Move!” Silvus dragged the poor droid out in a harsh yank. Linjal was not the only one close to lose patience, but unlike Linjal, Silvus knew that breaking things – or people didn’t make the outcome of their situation any better. He trusted the droids repairing skills more than his own, but the...
*Was that Markus?... I think he said Markus*.
…
*He said Markus!*
Silvus fought himself to avoid rolling his eyes way back into his skull, in the senator’s presence.
*Of course, if you want someone to make up trustworthy and reliable names with class, you choose someone that goes by the cover...
It was a slight relief for Silvus that he had no casualties of major importance to take into consideration – besides the ship that just had departed ways. He exhaled deeply. But there was still the state of the damage that worried him, and he held his breath when he walked over to the control...
Silvus snickered with amusement, when he followed Mars into the residence and her brief annoyance washed over him. Of course, as a man of honour, it was only appropriate that he allowed Aacklay to go first! But he didn’t comment it, and as soon as she disappeared left in the hallway, Silvus...
Silvus beckoned to her and placed the inhaler back in his messenger bag.
“That means he’s fresh in the game. But we shouldn’t find him gullible, as we have no idea what he did until he came to power and received the position. I’ll see what I can do”.
With a wink and the wave of a hand, he...
The tall Zeltron didn’t respond at first. He fished a cigarette holder of black jade out from his messenger bag and tapped a cigarette into it with careful ease. But it was as much to hold something between his fingers, to create a tool to channel any unease he didn’t show into an object...
Silvus eyes grew wide with horror. Should Linjal get hurt in the process, he would be able to navigate the ship alone. But this wasn’t Linjal that was severely damaged. This was the very vessel that should carry them into safety itself. The red lights reflected the speed Silvus’ heart rate was...
Every line of the datapad became examined with the careful eye of someone you would believe worked in an office. A black wavy lock fell down into his face as Silvus read, but he proceeded undisturbed and nodded in silent agreement when he was finished.
“Let’s. After you my dear”.
With a hand...
Silvus lowered the scarf he loosely had wrapped around his face for cover, as soon as the cooling shadow of the bar gave him the opportunity to do it. That the natives could live this way was a wonder to him. The red eyes, carefully hidden behind a pair of visor glasses jumped from person to...
The silence would be something Silvus has appreciated greatly, was it not for how wrong and out of place it suddenly felt. Neither cries of the young woman, nor keen remarks from Linjal echoed across the ship, and that made Silvus turn his attention towards the pilot.
His eyes widened, when he...
