A Pantoran woman stood before the camera, bundled up in a dark gray jacket with a microphone in one hand. Behind her, Onderon's Senate Building. Crowds of people had begun to gather outside of the building, security officers standing guard to keep the rowdy group from storming the senate. Raising her voice, the Pantoran spoke over the tumultuous crowd.
"This is Elora Trevino with the Hyperlane Herald, live in front of the senate building on Onderon where Jedi Grandmaster Alex Voran has just been escorted from the senate chambers by security. Reporters inside the senate building have confirmed that the Grandmaster left of her own accord and did not put up a fight. Grandmaster Voran was not available for comment, but we were able to speak to an usher who witnessed the whole affair."
The screen cut to a young Sullustan dressed in a uniform with black tie. "I saw the whole thing," he answered eagerly, his black eyes darting back and forth. "I was bringing Senator Hergalor a fresh cup of hot tea when it all went down. The whole business made a cold chill run down my spine. I'm surprised the Chancellor didn't soil his pants again. One of the New Republic's admirals had passed out, too, but I don't know if that was the Jedi's doin'."
The screen cut back to Elora Trevino, coughing. This chronic cough had followed her ever since she had covered the ISC President's last press conference, where the reporter had a odd and unforgettable encounter with some type of monster and her noxious gas. The reporter had visited numerous doctors, but each were as baffled as the next and could offer her no cure but to give it time.
"All of this comes after Grandmaster Voran was accused of using Jedi mind-tricks on Chancellor Ro, an accusation confirmed by not only the Chancellor but the Grandmaster herself. It is unclear exactly what the Grandmaster pressed upon the Chancellor's mind, and reports vary. Some reports claim that she asked him to trust her, while others claim that she was sending him a message of a romantic nature. Although unconfirmed, it is widely accepted that the Chancellor and Grandmaster are involved in a torrid romantic relationship that has spanned these many months. Could this mark the end of their relationship? Or is it just a bump in the road to their happy ending?
"The senate is expected to vote soon on the expulsion of the Jedi Order. In the mean time, be sure to tune into the Galactic Herald as we keep you up to date on this developing and breaking story."
