    Open A Pale Light, Burning [Paqualis III]

    Grief was not an emotion that Korre was intimately familiar with. She'd been lucky - incredibly lucky - in her life. The closest she could compare this feeling to was when the former senator of Onderon had perished, but really, the two of them were strangers compared to her and Ilana. Korre was...

    Ask Belasco The Art of Neutrality

    Korre simply smiled. "Belasco will gladly trade medical supplies with the Empire," she answered. Belasco had access to bacta and alternatives. "I only request that the Empire, additionally, allow Belascan scientists to work and conduct research within Empire space." Korre often pushed to...

    Ask Belasco Just Another Brick in the Wall

    Korre thought, to some degree, Victoria's past was a reflection of herself now. She'd built up a way for herself and wanted to build up her planet as well. It was admirable. "I grew up here, in Senta," Korre began, glancing behind them in the direction of the city. "I lived here, went to school...

    'Nice shot.' Those words echoed in her mind as she and Rynn continued their escape, stopping only once they'd finished running down the steps leading up to the convention. The Mandalorian began talking about finding out what had happened. 'There was still work to be done,' he'd said. The...

    The Jedi were fickle. They might as well include it as a warning to others when they came to help. But again, Korre was not sure if this was a failure of character or a result of their small numbers. "I appreciate that, Victoria," Korre responded to the woman's offer. Still, she did not find it...

    Ask Belasco The Art of Neutrality

    "President Thorne and I have not crossed paths in some time," she began honestly. Since stepping down as Prime Minister, Korre had stayed clear of galactic politics until just recently. Still, she was much less involved than before. "But should we, I can absolutely put in a good word for you."...

    Ask Belasco Just Another Brick in the Wall

    Korre listened to Victoria speak, her unwavering blue eyes watching her, but she was fighting to keep her mind present. Ilana's death was encroaching on her mind, threatening to derail the Belascan's focus thus far. 'Focus, Korre!' What had Victoria just said? 'Something about her fear of...

    Ask Belasco Just Another Brick in the Wall

    Korre's eyes widened, evidence of her approval as Victoria began to answer. Did Victoria need specific goals to do good? Did it make her a good or bad leader if she pushed unpopular changes? The Belascan was more than happy to begin the debate; she was more than ready to push back at Victoria to...

    Ask Belasco The Art of Neutrality

    "Yes," Korre answered simply. To neutralize meant removing all former limitations on trade, which meant Belascan businesses could expand and thrive and their scientists could more easily collaborate and access others across the galaxy. They already supported leaving the FWA; they already...

    Ask Belasco Just Another Brick in the Wall

    Korre could only discern what Victoria was feeling from the emotions she showed plainly on her face. She was not the type to pick up on subtle signs or details, but it seemed to her as if the senator was at least considering her words. In a way, it felt weird to consul and advise someone while...

    "Warmaster Din," she said in response, her lips stretching into a wide smile as she reached out her own hand to complete the handshake. Her hand, though soft and unworked, gave his a solid shake before dropping back down to her sides. "Of course! Please, have a seat." The red-headed woman...

    The Mandalorian went ahead again as he had, and as she had, Korre did her best to keep up. Her baby blues kept jumping between him, the ground, and the surrounding area and it was only when someone screamed 'fire!' in a panic that she came to a stop. Rynn said something about heading to the...

    Ask Belasco Just Another Brick in the Wall

    Korre nodded. She hadn't paid a whole lot of attention to what was going on in the Free Worlds for some time now, but she knew enough to know that Victoria had not been very popular with her people for some time now. "Sometimes it's important to recognize patterns and act on them," she began...

    Ask The Driving Force Behind Motivations

    Korre was so focused on the bloody gun in her hands that she didn't quite notice Rynn reaching out his hand until his gloved fingers wrapped around her freckled skin. She looked up at him then, eyes just a little wider. It was a strange sort of moment between them, but not in a bad way, she...

    Ask Belasco The Art of Neutrality

    Belasco had recently finalized their exit from the Free Worlds' Alliance. It was supported by the majority on Belasco, but the galaxy seemed to have its own opinions. Some supported it, some didn't. Some thought it was a good idea, while others, of course, didn't. Their decision to become fully...

    Ask Belasco Just Another Brick in the Wall

    Korre listened intently while Victoria ranted, her face passive but relaxed. She had never been good at this sort of emotional support stuff, but she could be an ear to listen to, a shoulder to cry on, or a voice of reason. Even in the midst of her own grief, she could manage that. "Do you want...

    "I am about as relaxed as I can be right now," Korre stated, gesturing to the chaos around them, then to herself. It didn't take a genius to see that she wasn't exactly the sort to get involved in the dangerous side of life. She was a scientist - sometimes a politician - and she was certainly...

    > Korre, I don't know who else to turn to. Can we talk? Korre was not expecting to receive a random message from the senator of Gannaria, nor was she expecting it to be so vague or worrying. Of course. I'll have the palace prepare for your arrival. < Still, she would not deny the woman an...

    Ask The Driving Force Behind Motivations

    Korre was not asleep, so she did not dream, nor did she recall any significant memories. Instead, an unknown amount of time later, she came back in the arms of- well, someone. She was surrounded by arms of stiff, unmoving plates of armor, and her face was pressed against a breastplate of similar...

    Ask The Driving Force Behind Motivations

    Everyone's attention was grabbed by the furred alien's roar, especially Korre's. She watched, dreading the outbreak of a fight, fingers drumming against the flat metal railing she was leaning up against. She just wanted to see some new developments, not a shit show on the floor below...
