*Han sat at his desk, on tatooine. He knew that his time was needed else where and he could not always be on the planet to govern it. He thought it best to turn it over to the hands of the new republic.*

"Get me Xylon Hexyra, and Chief of state Leia Organa Solo, ona private comm channel, yesterday!"


*Gaurd walks out, and is back in five minutes*

"Feeding you through now sir."



"Good."

OOC: Me too? *pouts*

IC: Hanna, Han's twin sister had come to visit Han today. Boy had that been a mistake! She had not thought he would be so busy, yet there he was, sitting at his desk. He was being, well he wasn't being Han.

She was standing behind him, looking out his office window. She had kept herself silent as Han worked, up until now at least.

"Did we wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?"

She turned sharply around on her left foot, Han's chair swivled around to meet her gaze. he looked at her funny, as if puzzled somehow by her words.

"You heard me, what's with you, Han? Just where did my brother go and who is he being replaced with now?"

He never got to answer her as the channel ran through. She sent him a silent message through the force.

Do not think that lets you off the hook. You've been really snappy lately...later then, I expect an answer later.

She continued to stand silently behind him.

I've just grown to realize that a jedi cannot handle so much strain. The New Republic will take care of this planet better than i could, sis. We both know it.

*Han replied back through the force before turning to look back at the communications screen*

Leia Organa rubbed her tired eyes, then picked up the large mug of the same, sweet stimulant beverage she had every morning to keep her functioning. Holding it just under her mouth, she watched her breath blow the steam that coming off of the hot beverage all around for a few seconds, then lifted it to her lips and took a long draw, as it wasn't as hot as it appeared. She was on Corellia for the next week or two, important New Republic business had come up and they had recalled her from Naboo to attend to things here with the rest of the higher branches of command.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> I knew I shouldn't have pulled that late night again last night...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

An indicator on her desk console lit up, announcing the expected incoming call from Tatooine.

Good.

She set down the mug and straightened in her seat, and idly flicked the comm pickup on, simultaneousy the holoprojector flicked on, picking up and transmitting her image, and causing a live video feed to come up on her desktop console. (She didn't feel like having small Han holograms walking around her desk today.)

She leaned back in her chair.

"Hello Han, what can I do for you this morning?"

It was mid morning in Corellia, she had no idea what time it was there, so she just stuck with what she knew for the moment.

"I have come to my conclusion, dear cousin, that unlike you, i cannot hold myself down, and become a bearucrat, and a jedi. I find myself unable to govern AND protect. I hope that i can convince you to take this planet and its people, and its shipyards under you're wing, to join in the New Republic. I'm asking this, because i realize that i simply don't have the strength to govern anymore, unlike you. What do you say?"

Leia nodded.

"I would be glad to arrange for TSC to merge into the New Republic, Han. I am sorry to hear that you feel you cannot keep up with TSC anymore, but you always were the more adventurous type."

She smiled, and tapped her nails on the hardwood surface of her desk, making a loud clicking noise.

"And if Xylon could get to his meetings on time for once, then we could start making arrangements... protocol dictates I have the authority to sign you into the Republic, but I have to have a 'witness'."

She paused and picked up her mug again to drink.

"Of course, I also have no idea what to do with your assets, so he has to be here for those things as well."

"Yes, YEs, good, good. Hopefully mr. Hexra will be joining us shortly? Also, i would still like to remain a stable member of the republic, but i cannot hold more than one job at once. this is why i am doing this."

"Yes, hopefully he'll be joining us shortly."

Leia hadn't seen Xylon in a while, generally it seemed their NR schedules alternated. Either she was on Corellia, or he was. And Han... hadn't been onplanet in forever.

"I presume you'll be wishing to obtain your position of Head of the Intel Department, then?"

Leia glimpsed Hanna in the background as she apparently shifted her stance, moving her into the vid pickup.

Leia smiled, there was time to kill.

"Hi Hanna, been a while since I've seen any of you Skywalkers... hopefully we'll meet again soon..."

Leia had now picked up a writing stylus, and now she tapped this incessantly on a pile of papers, so it made no sound to be heard by others.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Hex, where aaaare you...?<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> she wondered idly.

"Yes, Yes i would, if that would be possible. i would also like it if we could keep positions open for folks who worked with me."

I know...For what it is worth, I think you're doing the right thing, Han.

Hanna silently observed the conversation taking place, trying not to pay too much attention to the conversation at hand.

She grew tiresome after a few moments of standing in the same position, so she decided to move about some, doing so she found herself being made accidently viewable. Hanna only smiled lightly, nodding her head, acknowledging Leia. She did not wish to interrupt the conversation that was still taking place.
