The two figures nodded and came down to the same floor that McGan was on. They placed a mobile holographic generator in the center, when they turned it on an image of a frigate appeared.
"What you see right here is an old imperial frigate, outdated and rarely used. However, it was still armed with weapons capible of targetting planetary bases." The taller figure said. "Under McGans orders; this ship was ordered to fire on the clan grounds that you're Speaker-Above-All was at. However, the ship was also ordered to fire on the main city once he left, to make it look like someone else had launched an attack."
"You lie!" McGan shouted
Both of them looked at each other before presenting a written order by McGan; on it was his seal and signature, authorizing the use of heavy energy weapons on Trandosha.
The two of them then presented more evidence; including the deployment of two old hover tanks that would be painted over with the crest of the Coalition, to make it appear that the Coalition where the one's attacking.
When all was said and done. McGan looked rather worried, in fact, he looked like hell. As the two figures bowed and began to leave one stopped and looked back at him. "Pitful husband..." the figure said in a very low tone before leaving the room.
Outside Lavality waited near the window. "It's done ma'am." They said and saluted her. She nodded and looked over at them, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scurned." she said and the two of them nodded. "I'm sorry I made you do that."
"When I discovered my own husband was betraying the organization; I knew what my mission would be." The shorter figure said and then bowed and left her.
She just stood there before heading back into the audiance; this time keeping her hood removed. She wanted to see McGan's look when judgement would be brought upon him; she didn't care what type of punishment he got. But one thing was for sure - if they said that his fate lie's in her hands then he'll be food for the organization's rancor.

The Coalition would be interested to hear that... Naosha thought when the evidence came out about the hover tanks. However, considering recent events, I'm not sure sure we can rely on them. A shame...we had been with them for so short a time and things are looking sour. There's a chance for them to straighten things out though...so perhaps there's still hope.
With such damning evidence presented, the Council didn't need to take so long in deciding a verdict. What took longer though, was deciding 'who' was to carry out the sentancing. A conclusion was eventually reached and a hushed silence dominated the chamber when the Councilors returned.
"For your crimes against our people McGan, we find you guilty." One Councilor accounced. "However, since you are a weak human, we have decided that our methods of execution wouldn't be satisfying enough as you would die too quick. So we have decided your execution will be carried out by the very organization you betrayed."
Oooh.... Naosha grinned at that. Lavality will get to have some fun with the bastard..

Lavality smiled when she heard the verdict; she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement run through her veins. The silence that McGan exhibited as he was taken out of the council chambers spoke volumes. She knew that he was regretting his actions, and even before he was brought to the waiting transport, she could hear him begging for his life to the two females that were escorting him out - of course no one bothered to mention that both females were two of her most trusted Trandoshan officers. Both of which had lost loved one's to McGan's traiterious attack on a supply convoy back on the rim.
She stood there and continued to watch as the transport lifted into the air and soon disappeared into the sky. A sigh of relief came from her, that was one problem that she no longer had to worry about, McGan would be returned to the command ship and every trandoshan on board would be given a free two minute 'light' punching bag, or rather it was suppose to be two minutes, after some thought she reduced it to thirty seconds since she realized that even a minute would be to long.
Now her main concern was Maskis who she now had a serious problem with. "Now to deal with someone who I've trusted for years," she said and turned around. As she walked down the hall two warriors came to her side, both from the clan that Naosha was from. "You two aren't here because of Naosha.. eh?"
Both shook their heads and gripped their weapons tightly. "Then I hope you realize that I can't protect you when she finds out you've left your posts."
Again the two just shrugged and followed her. Silent types... she said as they rounded a corner and found Maskis standing there looking out a window. His cloak fluttered slightly from the air that circulated through the room. "What do you have to say for yourself?" Lavality said demandingly.
Maskis sighed and turned his head just enough to where he could see her with one eye. "Nothing... I did what I felt was right, but it seems I was wrong," he said, "perhaps my actions were unjust."
"That's not what I was talking about..." Lavality said, anger filling her voice. "You where working with them, I want to know why."
A sly smirk formed on Maskis's face. "You sure it's something you want to know?" he said and turned toward her. Lavality snarled and placed her hand on her weapon, but she felt someone place their hand on her shoulder and she stopped, she turned to find one of her admiral's standing there - Merendez.
"You know Maskis; there's a lot we don't know about you even to this day. Your very reasons for joining us, it seems we've now figured it out." Merendez said and removed her hand from Lavality's shoulder.
Maskis shook his head and walked down the hall a bit before he stopped. "Lavality, the very reason the organization doesn't trust you much is because you are still just a child... you think we want to follow the orders of a---!" Maskis said before he was thrusted into the wall. A loud bang resonated throughout the building, walls cracked, and the floor split apart right down the middle.
When he opened his eyes he found a katana's sharp blade up against his throat; and a very pissed off Lavality. "I may be Jedi, and I may be a leader, but I will not and shall not, have anyone question my authority. Just because I 'look' young doesn't mean I am." She said angrily.
After several tense seconds she released her grip against his throat and took a few step's back. "Lucky for you I have no wish to kill someone who had been such a 'great' help to my orgnaization," she said. Behind her both guards rolled their eyes, one speaking something to the other.
Maskis rubbed his throat before getting up and looking at her in the eyes. "So explain it to me - why have you betrayed me?" Lavality asked calmly.
"Betrayed you?" Maskis asked curiously. "I never betrayed you; I merely with held information that I knew would cause you pain and grief, and it seem's I'm right. You can't handle the information I have."
Lavality growled before turning toward the door. "The Trandoshan's are your people and I think a certain Trandoshan wants to 'talk' to you," Lavality said, referring to Asri. She then turned around and exited the room and down the hall, every now and then a window or two shattered from the shear anger she released. This Jedi training isn't helping me.... she said to herself.
"Want me to help you out? Kasyyk asked from within her mind. Lavality merely nodded and gave a weak smile when the windows stopped shattering. "I have a long way to go before I can completely control these ability's," She said and looked at her hands.
Meanwhile, on the Serendivus Command Ship
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!" McGan yelled painfully as the guards sat him down in a chair in an isolation room; outside a line of Trandoshan's ringed on down the hallway, some carrying weapons, others had just their fists. One wanted to bring a blaster but he was told that he couldn't kill him, another one wanted to toss him out the air lock, but that was reserved for Lavality.
As the doors parted and the three hundred Trandoshan crewmen entered the human guards bid them farewell and closed the door.

Asri hadn’t any idea where Maskis could be, but when she spotted Lavality exiting a room with a rather annoyed look on her face her intuition told her Maskis was close by. With a growl she pushed open the door and found Maskis, whom was still straightening himself out from the obvious beating he got from Lavality. Without hesitation, she rushed forward, grabbed him by the shirt and slammed him against the wall.
“A double agent eh?” She hissed. “From what I know about those types, the only people double agent’s really work for are themselves. So I suggest you start talking…starting with who you really work for?”
“Please do.” A voice Asri recognized to be Trazu’s said behind her. A glance behind told her he still hadn’t started to shed the robe he had to wear during the proceedings: she wondered why. “In these times of uncertainty we need to know who’s on what side.”
“Don’t give me that ‘it’s to protect Lavality’ bull you gave me before.” Asri sneered. “For all we know that’s just a cover for you real purpose.”

He snarled at her and removed her hand. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Then try.... because if you don't tell them.. then I'll just tell Lavality and you already know she's pissed enough" Kasyyyk said from within his mind. His left eye brow went up slightly when he heard her voice.
Shouldn't you be in Lavality right now? He asked but got no response from her. He let out a sigh before stuffing his hands into his pockets and looked over at the destroyed wall.
"You can't comprehend what is going on in this universe; but if you must know. I'm apart of a group within the organization that is trying to put the group back together." He said and took his left hand out of his pocket and flexed. "Lavality is more or less a pawn by my own superiors to get the group back together, in order to fool Miknak we've had to release false information."
The room shook sligthly as several fighters flew over, "As far as Lavality knows her organization is crumbling to peices, which in some sense is true. A good number of our ships have defected and gone rogue, but not as many as the reports have stated. In order to fool our enemy, we must first fool our friends." He said and turned and looked at Asri. "Or at least.... thats what it was suppose to be. Unfortantly my employers have recently began giving certain orders that conflict with our goals, something tells me they were bought out by them."
As he stood there he wondered where Lavality was; and more so what would happen next.

Asri was angry. Her mind had latched on just one statement from the man and refused to let go: Lavality is more or less a pawn. She couldn’t believe it, she didn’t want to believe it.
“You lying, low life scumbag!” She growled as she raised a hand to claw him across the face.
“Asri!” Trazu yelled as he jumped forward and grabbed her arm. “He’s telling the truth.”
This of course just made her even angrier, since Trazu’s Force abilities only confirmed it. She started to forcefully pull her arm away so she could still pummel Maskis into the wall when she suddenly found herself unable to move. With a fierce growl she looked down at Trazu, whom was still holding onto her arm.
“Listen to me!” He said to her harshly. “His methods are despicable, but there is a logic to them. As cunning the Miknaks were, the only way they could have fooled them was if the high command was fooled as well. They basically had no choice but to trick Lavality as well if they were to get the organization back together. Trust me love…I don’t like it either, but it had to be done.”
The words broke though Asri’s rage and she calmed down, not by much, but enough to where she didn’t want to smack the two timing Trandoshan anymore. The moment Trazu had released his hold on her though she turned to him and growled. “Don’t ever use the Force on me like that again!”
“I will if I deem it necessary to keep you from making a big mistake.” Trazu told her definitely.
Asri growled but let the matter drop, for now. “You said your superiors started giving conflicting orders.” She said. “What kind of orders?” And I wonder if his ‘superiors’ are those Generals Lavality asked me to take out. She wondered.

Maskis let out a sigh of relief; while he was thankful for Trazu's help, he wondered if Trazu only did it to help eleviate a diplomatic incident. "Orders such as removing disruptive elements from the Trandoshan Council, and for removing several admiral's from Lavality's command. Merendez and Lumier, being two that my superiors are worried about, they don't really consider Lavality a threat," he said with a shrug.
He turned his attention right back to the wall. "Of course; if she can do 'this' without tiring, I'd hate to see what she could do if she ever got her hands on them, or else she even knew who it was that was betraying her, erm.... I mean high command of course."
What Maskis wasn't aware of, was that not only did Lavality know which of the high command had betrayed her, but which had to be removed. "If she was to ever find out; then clensing the organization would be easier to do, but if she makes a move against them it may spell disaster. For her and anyone that follows; the last time someone tried to take out the high command they were found floating in orbit with blaster wounds all over them."
With that said he walked toward the door. "My actions may be out of line but it's the only way," he said and left the room.
Two of the warriors who had been standing guard near the door had heard everything; both bore an angry look on their faces and gripped their weapons tightly, they wanted to do something about him but knew it would be a big mistake.
Outside the building
Lavality let out a sigh and removed the ear plug from her ear. "I'm going to have to apologize to Asri later," she said and placed the ear plug in her palm before closing, and destroying it. "I knew Maskis was hiding a lot from me; but he did do a good job fooling me... now it's my turn to fool high command.."
She dipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a communicator; she then sent a transmission back to her orbitting fleet. Her elite guard was standing by to under-take this mission, now all she needed was for Asri to get her things together, she smiled and turned toward a warrior who had followed her. "Please inform Lady Asri; that dinner will be served in just a few hours, if she's hungry she can join me in the space port."
The warrior blinked; he had no idea what she was talking about. "Just.. tell her what I told you." Lavality sighed and the warrior nodded and left to inform Asri. "Dinner... is served..." she grinned.

After Maskis had left Trazu looked at Asri, concern on his face. “High Command…wouldn’t that be those…” He started to ask.
“The ones Lavality asked me to take out?” Asri replied quietly. “Yes. Apparently, Maskis isn’t even aware that I was asked to ‘take care of them’.”
“Probably in your favor.” Trazu grunted. “Though he was speaking truthfully, I am not completely certain he has removed all traces of his loyalty to them.”
“I agree. He needs to be watched.” Asri scowled.
Just then one of Lavality’s guards approached her and gave his message. Asri blinked a couple of times but then grinned. “It appears someone else has drawn her ire.” She said, then told the guard. “Tell her I will meet her there as requested.”
“I’m surprised she even knew about…that….” Trazu said after the guard had left.
“Probably heard it from one of her subordinates during our travels.” She said with a shrug. “Let’s head back to the grounds love, I need to get my things.”
“You’re going to be going today?” Trazu said, surprised. “I thought it wouldn’t be for a week at least considering your pilot’s training.”
“The instructor said I was a natural.” Asri said simply. “I even heard him mutter that it was waste of his time to even be there.”
“Nanos?” Trazu asked in a whisper as they headed out.
“Has to be….” Asri replied. It was an interesting possibility, yet at the same time frightening. Could it really be that the nano’s were enhancing, even increasing, her learning capabilities?
