The droid nods at Arca after medically dropping the Ryn with a injectable neuroparalytic. Taking a step back, ST-3R turns to Master Curvian as if she may know the answer to Arca's question. "Orders Master?" it questions.

Varc quickly surveyed the scene before him. It was over before any real damage was done. Which was lucky after seeing what had already happened to Master Curvian.

”Arca please attend to Master Curvian, once she’s stable we should fully check the old Ryn who was possessed as well as our unconscious friend. ST-3R please secure the bonds on both of them to ensure they can not cause further harm if they wake up still under possession. Everyone else, we need to ensure that none of the contaminated food has left here. We can’t risk further exposure to potential Sith possessions.”

Catching his breath for the first time after giving the other Padawans and the security droid tasks he turned to the Ithorians still in the kitchen.

”Secure any food that was prepared, as well as the base ingredients that arrived as part of this shipment. It must be placed under guard until we can make it safe or properly dispose of it. Any food that has left the kitchen must be immediately brought back and anyone who has consumed it has to be placed in lock-up for their safety as well as the safety of all those on the herd ship.”

While Varc is talking, Curvian grabs the saber from Zyla. She pauses after grabbing it, and a brief pained expression spreads across her face, before her normal neutral expression once more takes charge. She quickly shoves it into a pocket in her robe.

She starts to speak, but Varc's take charge interjection cuts her off, and she lets him finish.

The ithorians quickly comply with Varc's instructions, shutting down food preparation and one rushing out toward the dining area.


When Varc finishes, Curvian says, "Varc, excellent job taking charge."

She pauses again, and looks at Grandmother, although she's clearly looking a long way off and a long time ago.

"Make sure both the Ryn and Waz'aru are restrained and completely sedated, I don't know what that was that happened, but we don't need that happening again."


Zyla helps Arca with whatever he needs to ensure complete sedation and solid vitals of the two Ryn.

Realizing the search for the vile Sith's location would be postponed, the droid begins securing the two Ryn as requested. Pausing for a moment while tilting its head and slightly lifting both detainees by their prehensile tails in each hand, "Suggestions? Further, we need to confirm Grandmother cannot attack through the force with her hands again. She is still bound behind her back but, that did not stop the darksider last time" ST-3R asks, with a slight shrug.

”I have only done what is necessary Master. I was unsure of your status and did not wish to endanger those we are here to protect. If I may be so bold, I believe it would be wise to request a team that is trained to thoroughly scan all shipments. The delegation should be informed of the situation. But I believe it could insight a panic, what is your guidance Master?”

"Inform sec-" Curvian begins, but is cut off by the crackle of the internal ship comms activating.

Hrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm/"A small shuttlecraft is landing, requesting to see you Master Curvian. In addition, they mention something about poisoned food?"

Her eyes go wide.

"You make the decision you think prudent, Varc. Same to you all."

She still holds her ignited saber in her hand, and sprints towards the docking bays.

As Curvian left the room, numerous theoretical solutions race through the droid's processors. Finally, promptly turning towards an Ithorian, "We need a few spray cans of plasto-cast from your medbay to further secure these unique detainees" ST-3R firmly requests. The droid's intentions were to spray the plasto-cast over both of the binded Ryn hands and then immobilize their prehensile tails with medical casts.

The Ithorians that rushed out upon Varc's commands return, informing you all that the food has been secured. They also report that there is some kind of commotion coming from the docking bay, where Curvian went.

Merlaux rushes in at this point, blaster drawn. Next to him are two of the Hutt delegation's security, Niktos.

"What happened? Why has the food been confiscated, and why are those two bound?" Merlaux barks, slightly out of breath.

Varc places his lightsaber in it’s place on his belt. The others can handle the two infected, for now he needed to defuse the new situation.

Walking towards the new arrivals, he speaks in a calm manner. ”The situation is under control. Please put the blaster away. Where are the delegates now? I wish to address them all in regards to the current situation.”

As an after thought he turned back to the group of his fellow padawans. ”We have lots of work to do yet. Someone should see if Master Curvian needs assistance. We also need those two moved to holding cells. A full medical evaluation should be performed. The Ithorians should be able to handle that, but if you would like to, provide an escort to the holding area. I’ll de-escalate the situation with the delegates. If someone wishes, I could use the assistance.”

Upon the Ithorian returning with the supplies, the droid instantly begins spraying the plasto-cast onto both Ryn's binded hands and prehensile tails. The goal was the secure the detainees and prevent any further force lightning antics. As the droid completes, ST-3R immediately stood by Varc's side as the padawan handles the Hutt security and Merlaux. Nodding, "I will check on Master Curvian while you two de-escalate the situation with the delegates", the droid replies back. Turning towards the remaining Ithorians, "Please, handle these two with care into your holding cells" ST-3R requests, before rapidly rushing out the door to Curvian.

Merlaux and the two Niktos agree to follow Varc's lead. Merlaux seems a bit perturbed to have to do it, though.

"The delegates are in the main pavillion," he says as he follows Varc and Trixie. The Niktos seem more trusting of Varc, but still not quite at ease.

After a brief trek, you all arrive in the pavillion. Senator Tarn and Tarbal both look up at you all as you enter. Both have a What is going on? look on their faces.



ST-3R, Arca, and Zyla head quickly toward the docking bays.

From inside, they can hear what sounds like the clash of lightsabers.

Upon entering, they see Curvian and a tall blonde man testing each others' defenses. The blonde man has some kind of strange sword that has a reddish sheen to it, and Curvian has her lightsaber.

Trixie looks to Merlaux to explain, since he is the head of security. She steps aside and motions for the human to explain things to his boss. (Giving an 'Assist' to any roll he makes.)
Spoiler:
Can do a combined check or unskilled assist as a group if the GM likes.

Tarn does not like us anyways and this IS his head of security with us. IMO, it's really his place to do this.

Varc steps forward placing a hand on Merlaux’s shoulder, giving him a nod. Stepping ahead of the group he addresses the gathered delegates.

”I apologize for interrupting the festivities. You have many questions, and I will address several of them now. The food was removed as we have discovered a contamination in it. Two have already been infected and are currently in quarantine. Our team is currently investigating the cause of this contamination. Answers are currently limited as the investigation is ongoing. I will answer any questions that you have, but please bare in mind, I will not be able to answer any questions that could risk our investigation.”

He knew that this was only a quick fix to the problem, but he did not wish to cause panic by not providing at least some answers. Varc hoped that Master Curvian would return soon so that she could answer the hard questions that he was unable to answer.

Tarbal raises the equivalent of an eyebrow, and speaks, his droid hat translating.

"In what manner were things poisoned? Was there some dissident ~[OOC note: next word not translated, droid pauses for a brief instant]~ Ithorian, or was it a spineless Republic spy?"

Tarbal hits the table in response, and Merlaux and the two Nikto quickly separate to their own sides, hands on their weapons.

Tarbal responds, "I assure you, Great Tarbal, that the Republic knows nothing of this. We could just as easily say it was a Hutt spy, given your side's food prepared outside of the kitchen." He punctuates his point by gesturing towards the cooked kanak cat on the table.

Varc steps between the two sides raising a hand to both. ”Please remain calm honorable delegates. The source of the contagion is not from either party. The group that has enacted this most vile plot did it for the sole purpose of canceling these talks. Certainly you all can agree that these talks are of vital importance. As an outside observe, the tension could be felt in the air well before this event transpired. Please bare with us as the investigation is underway.” Varc looked between both groups as he spoke. Though the attack was stopped it seemed that the damage was already done. He had no doubt in his mind that the whole purpose was to cause the conflict between the two groups to reach a boiling point.

Zyla ignites her lightsaber and charges toward the armored man. She moves to stand beside Curvian, anger on her face.



Yorrel the Hutt rolls his eyes at the response, and Wanna gives a low laugh. "Calm down, Great Torbel, these Jedi have proven they care about our needs, give them a chance to investigate and explain."

Tarn continues glaring at the Hutts, and it seems the Jedi's efforts haven't succeeded at calming him down. Torbel does seem to be listening to Wanna, but not as much as could be hoped.
Off Topic
Trixie and Varc need to give me a social check, of your choice, with a difficulty of hard with 2 boosts and 2 setbacks, and explain how you all are using that skill to calm things down.

Arriving to the scene as unknown combatant is striking a red blade towards Master Curvian, the droid quickly draws its Umbara cortosis staff, and ignites the blade. As Zyla moves in, ST-3R flanks the other direction by engaging the armored target. With an unsuspected query, the security droid asks "Do you have a permit for that blade? Please provide your registration papers or expect confiscation".
Spoiler:
One maneuver to draw its staff and another to move from short to engaged.

The golden haired figure laughs.

"Master Curvian, is this what the Jedi have stooped to? Ineffectual droids that simply ask for my registration."

He laughs again. This close, ST-3R and Zyla can tell he has red-gold eyes, that seem to almost shimmer.

"But as I said, Master, I am here to stop the wanton slaughter Sete wishes to cause."

Curvian does not lower her blade.

"How do I know I can trust you? Look at what Sete did."

She focuses her gaze on Sete, and Zyla and Arca can feel her opening herself to the Force.

The golden haired man takes a much more relaxed pose, arms spread as if he was an open book and inviting what was coming.
Off Topic
Curvian is using Sense Thoughts, she'll have an answer on her next round. Do what you will.

If that color is bad on your eyes for the gold haired guy, let me know.

Arca draws and ignites his lightsaber and moves to stand on the side of Master Curvian with Zyla. He opens himself up to the Force as he moves, concentrating on Curvian's opponent and attempts to instill great fear in him.
Spoiler:
Arca Gavalun; Tales of the Old Republic; Force power check:
, 1 Light Side , 1 Dark Side

ImageImage

Arca Gavalun; Tales of the Old Republic; Discipline check:
1 Success, 4 Advantages

ImageImageImage

By drawing his saber Arca now has melee defense 2. He's using Influence with a Control upgrade to try to force the target to adopt an overwhelming sense of fear. He's using both Force pips, the light and the dark, to accomplish this. The attack is an opposed Discipline check. So the target also must make a Discipline check, against my result, which works out to be 1 failure and 4 threats to whatever he rolls. Arca eats 2 strain for using two maneuvers, and I flipped a DP on the Force attack to add the green die.

Trixie sees the intensity of the situation and steps forward, placing her hand on Varc's shoulder as she passes him. "WAIT!!! An "Outsider" has infected some or all of the food brought in for consumption. It is not safe to consume, honorable Hutts, ....Senator Tarn. It is NOT the kanak cat, which was just prepared. Rather, it was the stored foods below. I plead with you all to allow calmer heads prevail and continue this summit! Allow us to find this "Outsider" and bring him or her to justice!"
Spoiler:
Was trying to use Force Influence, but did not need them.

Trixie; TotOR; Leadership Check:
2 Successes, 3 Advantages, 2 Dark Side

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Leadership: " Sway a crowd in a public venue to take action, most often of a political nature."

Successes: " Extend target’s support for additional scenes. Increase efficiency or effectiveness of target during ordered actions."

Advantages: "Affect bystanders in addition to target."


I would assume that Trixie can calm some others down besides the main parties (Merlaux and Niktos put away weapons, etc...). Also, that they disregard the threat and resume negotiations. FYI, I had written the dialogue text BEFORE I made the roll. I'll keep it the same. :D

Arca can tell that the person does not seem to be here to start anything new, seems to have been expecting a 'welcome' like the one he currently faces, and seems to be quite self-assured in the sense that he feels like he has everything under control.

Zyla takes up a defensive posture. "Whatever reason you are here, it doesn't need to involve fighting when you are clearly outmatched."

Trixie's assurances placate the agitated Tarn, although her insistence on the Jedi investigating while he does nothing clearly ruffles his feathers. For now his behavior changes to a slow simmer, though, rather than the rolling boil it had been.

Merlaux stands alert, but not as agitated as before, and the Nikto are holding their weapons less tight.

Tarn takes a deep breath. "What can we do to help? This deal is important to all of us here, and I would like to see it carried through." Yorrel and Tarbal nod in agreement, while Wanna just looks longingly at the not-yet-cut-or-served roasted kanak cat sitting in front of him.
