Sunrise on Lothal was always best in the autumn, where it waxed for far longer into the morning than during any other season. It was one of the best sights on the idyllic world, and Cal took the opportunity to take it in before the day's work began. Leaning on the balcony atop the Capitol building, he breathed it in - despite the sentimentality of his actions, there was a purpose to them still, a useful reminder of what he wanted to, no had to protect.
That was why today was so important.
With each passing day, the threat on the uppermost borders of the Free Worlds Alliance grew, and, if he was honest with himself, Cal did not think they could stop it alone. That was why he had asked his aide, the ever-capable Sanna, to reach out to an old University friend of hers, who now worked in the Ministry of Defence over at the Independent Systems Consortium, and together they had worked to arrange a meeting with none other than the Secretary of Defence himself - a man named Carrick.
Turning away from the view, he straightened his Senatorial robe, cut in the classical style, and headed toward the landing bay set aside for the visitor, atop the Capitol building, to greet him upon arrival.
