Lavality smiled and shook her head. "Angela has always been over-protective; she always trys to hide that which may hurt me. But what hurts me just makes me stronger; something she apperently doesn't understand most times." She said and looked out the window. "Still.... to find out what I was born naturally, but instead, artifically." she shook her head.

"What compelled him to do that I wonder though." She said and rubbed her chin. "But now I have an even bigger worry - how will the Jedi Order react when I bring this to there attention...." she said and gave out a frustrated sigh.

Asri took a moment to think it over. “I think he wanted to make you and assassin.” She said. “When I was on Naboo while you, Trazu, and Master Dolash where on that expedition, I had an encounter with two children that were looking for you, no doubt to kill you. They knew about me, which leads me to believe they were creations of Miknak as well. What bothers me though was that they didn’t show up during our fight with Miknak, either they were off on a mission elsewhere or they went rogue.

“As for the Jedi Order, I don’t really know enough about them to make an informed judgment, but I don’t think it will bother them too much: it’s your actions that make who you are, not how you came into being.”

Lavality sighed. "maybe... but I still don't understand." she said and looked away from Asri and out the window. She watched as a Rynok destroyer over the ship and out of her view. "I just have to wonder though... is this truly over?" she asked.

Again Asri paused in reflection. “I am sure Miknak still has some diehard loyalist that will cause some trouble before they are caught or killed out there. How many will remain to be seen. Miknak’s death is a big step in ending the conflict, but it’s not over yet, not as long has he still has followers intent on following his vision and no doubt desire to avenge his death.”

She turned her attention to the Rynok outside and was reminded of something Trazu told her not to long ago. “Another concern is that a good number of Clans on the homeworld have gone silent. Trazu told me they were Clans that were against joining the Coalition and his father fears they may have either joined Miknak, or are setting up a rebellion of their own. It’s hard to say for certain however….”

"They may cause some trouble but there's no way of knowing; for all you know they may just be considering things." She said before noticing a flight officer approuching from the door. "Ma'am." The officer said without saluting. "Your shuttle is ready."

She nodded and waved him away. "I'm headed down to the clan grounds; one to take the Admiral off Rissonik's hands, no doubt he's getting rather annoyed with her and probably wants to use her for target practice... considering she talks a lot. But also because I want to talk with Lady Varcanna." She said and got up. "Will you and Lord Trazu be joining me?" she asked Asri.

“I know I would like to see the kids again and I’m sure Trazu does as well, I’ll have to wake him up first though.” Asri said with a smile. “So I better go do that, I’ll met you in the hanger.”

As Asri made her way back to the room she wondered just what Lavality wanted to talk to Varcana about and she worried about how Lavality may react to Varcanna’s attitude toward her. I hope she doesn’t hold it against the Clan…. She thought.

She put it out of her mind for the moment once she reached the room. When she entered she found Trazu still asleep and she found it hard to force herself to wake him: he looked so cute asleep! But she gave him a shake to rouse him regardless.

“Mmmmer….” Trazu groaned as he came out of deep sleep.

“Come on hun. We’re back in Kashyyyk space and if you don’t get up you’ll be left on this ship by yourself.” Asri said to him.

“Already?” Trazu said groggily as he stretched. “Man…I didn’t get a chance to get a bite to eat.”

“Well you insisted on snuggling and napping, so it’s your own fault.” Asri teased.

Trazu just grumbled as he rolled out of bed and searched for his clothes.

A few minutes later Asri and a still sleepy Trazu arrived at the hanger.

Lavality was already on board the shuttle and waiting when she saw the two come aboard. "Glad you two decided to join me." She smile at them and turned away. It was easy to notice that she was the only person in the pilots seat; outside there was still a lot of activity as people where being moved from shuttles to the medical room. "Even though we've arrived here; there are still countless numbers of wounded arriving."

She sighed and waited before another person came aboard. "Morning Admiral." Lumier said as she closed the ramp behind her. "How was the ground battle? You never DID report that."

"Well the base was largely deserted after you had taken care of Miknak; one shuttle did manage to blast out but I was told it was destroyed in orbit. Debris does confirm that." Lumier said and took a seat next to Lavality. "How many did we lose?" she asked.

Lumier sighed and looked out the cockpit window. "The count is still growing, but right now we are at six hundred or so deaths," she said, "But we are still recovering the dead. They will be given a proper burial."

"Are you sending the dead to there respected planets?" Lavality asked as she started the shuttle up. "Yes Ma'am. After we've recovered all the wookie and trandoshan dead they will be sent here to be buried with they're people."

Lavality smiled. She hated the idea of lossing people but knew it was impossible not to have a loss in battle. "Let's get going; there's a lot I need to discuss with Rissonik and Naosha." She said and flipped the engines online. The shuttle rose from the hanger deck and floated in mid air as the wings swept back and the landing gear disappeared into the hull.

"This is Creta Shuttle to control." Lavality spoke into her headset.

~This is Control, you clear. Have a save journey Admiral.~

Outside the shuttle four X-wing's and one A-wing lifted off the deck and hovered near the shuttle before it flew out of the hanger and into space.
