Aezzairrfhowrrhudrrl let out a breath that he hadn't realized he'd been holding when the resolutions were declared a tie. A slam-dunk proposal by the FWA- one that only required functioning eyeballs from the other politicians in the room- had been twisted around nearly to the point of forcing the FWA to cut ties with the Jedi. The Grandmaster's stare in his direction was met with slight confusion by the Wookiee- had he not done everything in his power to try and shield the Order from the Sith's proposal? (@Valen Pelora)
In the process, Supreme Chancellor Xeres had managed to piss off the Wookiee even more. His power was clearly getting to his head- why else take advantage of being on New Republic turf to disregard the agenda, or make blatant attention grabs such as inviting the Grandmaster and not telling anyone about it? Furthermore, the man's unwillingness to implicate the Sith- claiming that the Jedi had broken the ceasefire on Nixor despite video evidence otherwise- further cemented the Supreme Chancellor as someone who would not be receiving a Life Day card from Kashyyyk. Only the presence of Senator Trina Kalist gave the Wookiee any hope for the New Republic going forward. (@Braden @Sreeya)
Then, Galek Ordalos presented his proposal; one designating Thyferra as a neutral site for anti-kilik efforts. How boring it must be to be an ISC politician, the Wookiee mused, as he listened to the man drone on. Their senate speeches were always the same; blah blah neutrality, blah blah not-so-subtle shot at other governments, blah blah blah.
The Wookiee toggled his mic.
"I agree that a neutral, safe world is needed to help coordinate efforts against the kiliks, and I commend the ISC for offering Thyferra as an option." The words were coppery in his mouth. "My only concern is that Thyferra is a world known to have both kilik and Joined present. While Thyferra holds historical significance in this war, I worry about the kilik presence on the planet even in the wake of the decisive victory there. What is the security situation like, and what steps have been taken to ensure that critical operations aren't threatened again?" The kiliks had nearly reached the Cadir last time they turned their attention to Thyferra, helped by some influential Joined.
