*Sharak smiled at his joking gesture. *
Oh I don't think so. She'll have many opportunities.
*Skahbor nodded and stood beside him looking at where the construction of the shield generator was. It had made a lot of progress, but they were still far from being done.*
Well, you handled it very well Sharak. I am glad to have seen you grown through all of this hardship. We literally had to start with nothing. Now, we are slowly getting ourselves organized and growing in power. Keep our friends close and your cabinet even closer.
*Sharak grasped Skahbor's shoulder in a friendly manner.*
Yes, I agree.
*It was then that a message was received from orbit. Sharak took a good look at the message and laughed.*
Well, it seems Fel did his part quiet speedily. Jaraz should be in for a bit of a surprise. Oh if you could collect some data on the Microbe armor tech and send it to Fel. Then you may continue your shield generator project.
=Skahbor=
*Skahbor went to do his duty while Sharak sent the new information to Jaraz. It was a good day indeed.*

Re: Governors Building
I am sorry, my friend, but I am very tired and not in the greatest of moods. What else am I to do?
*Shek cocked his small head as if thinking. The little yslamiri sat back on his haunches and blinked a few time. Suddenly, he pointed toward the sky with a flimsy claw. Then he pointed down at the desk. *
*Sharak had to think for a moment. Obviously the creature was telling him something, but in his tired state it was more difficult. He tried applying the motions and positions in his mind of various situations. As much as he tried, he couldn't figure it out. *
*Shek started to become more elaborate once he noticed Sharak was still wasn't getting it. He started to use objects designating them as something in the air and something on the ground. At one point he made the object in the air have a threatening attribute, but the object on the ground made it go away after a while. *
*Sharak finally made the connection. The object on the ground was Barab and the object in the air was a ship or fleet threatening the homeworld. His look was a bit questioned at first, for they had a small fleet and a Golan platform. Plus, they were almost done with a shield generator. There was that one prospect of the fleet defenses failing though... Sharak decided that they needed an ion cannon built somewhere... but not at Alater-ka not yet anyways. He decided to place it at the Mount Ste'vshuulsz Military Base. It needed to be given some important tasks and the mining operations could use a better home base. Before he sent the message he patted Shek on the head promising to give him a bit of a treat later.*
:: This is Prime Minister Sharak Iskar. Those on Mount Ste'vshuulsz Military Base need to have an ion cannon up and running for the ever increasing defenses of Barab I. Start working on it immediately. I would like to also have the mining home base located at this Base to increase efficiency and production along with some research. Keep me updated daily on any progress. Sharak out. ::
*Once he sent the message, Sharak picked up Shek and stroked his back.*
Well, friend, I thank you. Now, let us get some well deserved rest.
*Sharak took Shek up to his quarters and they both fell asleep quickly.*

Re: Governors Building
They are happy Sharak...
*Sharak hissed in slight anger.*
Yes, but the clan leaders are not...
*Skahbor gave a hissed laugh and just patted Sharak on the back.*
Well, let me help you with them and we shall get this sorted out.
*It was then that the two sat down and started discussing the problems that the clan leaders had brought up.*

If this does not persuade them, they are truly thick headed skulos!
*Skahbor just laughed*
Well, hopefully that won't be the case. Let's invite them here and feed them so that they will be in high spirits. Then the discussion can proceed afterward.
*Sharak nodded and gave the orders for his assistants to prepare meals for the clan leaders who had these issues. He somewhat dreaded this, but it needed to be done.*

Re: Governors Building
Why are they not here yet? I want to get this nonsense done and over with!
*Skahbor put a reassuring hand on Sharak's shoulder.*
Easy... Have patience! This must be done whether you like it or not. Just remember that you are their leader and if trouble arises you have to take care of the situation.
*Sharak just gave a hiss as his eyes looked off to the distance. There he saw the first group of guests coming in walking in proudly among the streets.*
Yes... Still... It would have been easier to have left the mining situation alone. But you are right Skahbor... This must be done.
*And so group after group came as Sharak greeted each and every clan leader. Skahbor showed each one and their members to their designated areas around the table. It would still take some time for everyone to show up, but Skahbor was patient... unlike Sharak who still wished for this "torture" to be over.*

Re: Governors Building
Interesting enough, most of the clan members were female. In a Barabel society, they could be just as fierce as the males... possibly even more fierce in some cases. Sharak eyed each and every one of them wondering what they could be thinking. He had prepared himself in making sure who was who and what their style of leadership was for each clan they lead. Some used more violent methods while others had calm and clean methods to deal with situations and governing their group of people.
After a little while, Skahbor put a hand upon Sharak's shoulder and gave a nod... It was time. Sharak looked about once more before giving a soft hiss indicating that he wish to speak about what everyone had been called here for. Once everyone was settled and silence hung in the air, Sharak stood up and took in a light breath. Then he started to speak...*

Re: Governors Building
*The debate had been going on for sometime now. The Clan leaders were being as stubborn as ever and Skahbor did his best keeping a physical peace about the room. Already a few had gotten a bit physical against the table sending cracks from the hard smashes against its surface. Sharak had tried and tried to show them how important the ore was. It was used for economic reasons, scientific reasons, and military reasons. YET! They continued to make terrible excuses. Suddenly, Sharak called for a break and he stormed away to a back room to steam with Skahbor following closely behind. When the door had shut, Sharak just let loose.*
Alright! I've had enough of this! We are calling Jaraz!
*Skahbor gave a low hiss.*
I figured we would have to resort to this... It seems it is the only way.
*Sharak let out a great breath and turned to face him.*
Its the only way THEY will understand. You think that they would have the same amount of faith in me as they have respect... Send the message to the city of our... demonstration... I do not want a civil panic during the celebration of the new year.
*Skahbor nodded and went to carry out the order. Meanwhile Sharak looked down at the ground knowing that this would shake some... But in a way, this was truly what Barabels do. To get a point across you sometimes just have to give a little... physical contact... like... a claw to the face.*

Re: Governors Building
Kindred, we are getting no where with an agreement. I am getting sick of it... Really. I believe there is only one way you will realize the importance of this ore...
*Sharak activated a hologram that centered on the room. It was Jaraz who was stationed on the Golan Platform in orbit.*
Jaraz, fire on Alater-ka...Now...
*Jaraz simply gave a nod and smiled. He knew what Sharak was doing and he loved it when he saw the other tribal leaders suddenly go into a panic. They started yelling and screaming thinking that Sharak had gone insane. Some were now even begging to be quickly spared while others made a move toward Sharak. His elite guard kept those violent ones at bay. The large turbolasers shot from the Golan platform and streaked down through the atmosphere. Back underneath the ground, the area shook slightly again and again. Most of the leaders thought they were about to be blown to bits...
But it didn't happen...
Sharak nodded to Jaraz by which the hologram disappeared and the firing ceased. Sharak then allowed everyone in the room to be calm before speaking in a powerful and loud tone.*
You want to know WHY you didn't die just now? Because of the shield generator that we had just built! Everything that powers our guns and shielding is channeled through our ore! If we do not mine those deposits, our offense and defense would be greatly reduced!
*Sharak took a moment to calm himself before speaking once more.*
Now... what do you say about your pitiful excuses now?...
*The Clan leaders gathered and started to speak in hushed tones and hisses... but their eyes already showed that the point had been made and Sharak had won....*

Re: Governors Building
A few hours later, Sharak was with Skahbor upon the balcony of the building. The Clan members had left almost one by one. Some talked to Sharak while others gave him a cold shoulder. A few of the females were greatly interested in meeting him again as he had shown much strength in his decision. For now, Sharak waved them away politely knowing that now was not the time for such things. He lowered his head and gave a hiss.*
What do you think those were whispering about? Revolts?
*Skahbor shook his head...*
I highly doubt that... If they were going to overthrow you, they would have to have a lot of support from multiple tribes and the populace. Whatever consequences that come out of this will be mainly from the non-Barabel populace. I would expect complaints coming in soon once they figure out what had happened.
*Sharak shook his head and spoke in a heated tone...*
THOSE will just have to accept what I have done... BAH! I need a drink... Care to join me?
*Skahbor shook his head.*
No, I think I've had enough already... I need to take care of some personal business anyways.
*Sharak just nodded and started to walk away.*
Well, knowing you it is something productive.. I wish you a blessing..
*With that, Sharak left Skahbor alone upon the balcony... Sharak wasn't a heavy drinker, but he had such a splitting headache that he just need to knock out. Skahbor watched him go and then turned his gaze back upon the city which had died down from the celebration. With a soft hiss, he turned about and prepared himself for his... personal business.*

Re: Governors Building
:: Jaraz, get me through to Felucia. It is about time we get Keriaz back home. She has work that needs to be done. ::
*Jaraz replied back with a bored voice...*
:: Yes... Of course.... ::
*Sharak knew that Jaraz's position wasn't a very lively one... But sooner or later the Barabel would have his share of action. Jaraz patched him through to Felucia and Sharak awaited for Keriaz to appear.*

Re: Governors Building
Sharak Iskar wrote:*Keriaz quickly entered into her dorm with the assistant in tow. The other two were already preparing the room for Keriaz for the conference. The two guards stood silently outside making sure no one would disturb them. The Barabel Minster looked at herself to make sure she was quite presentable. Once she was satisfied, she nodded at one of the assistants who opened up the comm channel. Before her suddenly appeared a green hologram of Prime Minister Sharak Iskar. In respect she bowed and spoke with a respectful voice and with their own Barabel tongue. *
:: Prime Minister Sharak. I hope you are well. ::
*She paused for a moment clearing her throat.*
:: What is it that you need Prime Minister? ::
*She could not help that very soon she would be leaving Felucia and its beauty. She had truly grown to like its pleasant surroundings, but she knew that she had to press forward. Her people needed her to do so, and whatever assignment she would have next would be filled with honor. *
*Sharak did not have to wait for long for a reply to return. In the middle of the room the green hologram of Keriaz displayed brightly. Her scales told that there was decent lighting in her room and her dress was proper. She bowed low in respect which Sharak bowed in return with a smile. At her question, he gave a nod and replied.*
Yes, I am doing very well Keriaz. Much better than the past few days;however, that is an entirely different story in itself.
*His reptilian eyes moved about remembering that crazy dilemma and all its clutter that he had to swim through. Thankfully, it had ended much more peacefully than they had expected... or so it would seem to his own knowledge. Sharak walked over to a console and pressed a few buttons bringing up a few schematics for two ships and a planet arose between the two of them.*
:: This is your next assignment. Mon Calamari. Not exactly a diplomatic mission exactly, but we need to expand the fleet. Skahbor and I have discussed which ones we want. We will need one MC90 and three MC40a's. You can see the schematics for each on your hologram. They will increase the amount of actual heavy firepower along with their shielding and armor. The shipyards do very well building these ships and they are very reliable according to the intergalactic database. Jaraz will be training crews for them in the coming days to prepare for the ships. What you need to do is establish diplomatic relations, or more so a start, and then prepare for the transaction. We will take funds out of out account and use them to buy the needed ships. ::
*Sharak stopped for a moment and looked at Keriaz and placed his scaly hands behind his back. This would be important tactically rather than diplomatically. The fleet was small and needed heavier ships of the line. By no means in the scale of a huge Star Destroyer, but something to fend off a raid or moderate attacking force. Then there was the prospect of assisting their allies. Currently, they do not have much to offer besides some resources. The ground forces currently were solely for defense and the fleet was very small and would not be able to stand alone. With a hiss he pressed that argument.*
:: I cannot help but stress that this is important more in a tactical manner than in the diplomatic terms. Currently, it would be positive to make ties with Mon Calamari but that should not be your first priority. Do you have any questions, Keriaz? ::

*Keriaz watched the various objects appeared while Sharak spoke. She took in every detail and every word seriously and put it to memory. The assistants were writing it down, but Keriaz always tried to keep herself organized within her mind. Sharak continued to discussed how this was more the fleet than diplomacy. It was interesting to note that Sharak wanted allies, yet he did not consider Mon Calamari. While it would be a secondary objective, Keriaz would do everything in her power to carry it out. As the screen went back to Sharak, he stressed once more the importance of the mission. She understood this as the fleet was very weak and needed heavier ships. With a slight nod she replied.*
:: Of course, Sharak. I will do that as such. The fleet must be strengthened. The relations on Felucia are strong, I add; however, I do believe a visit here would prove to be a bit vital. Do you agree? ::
*Of course this doesn't happen immediately. They would have to find the time and schedule everything. No doubt it may be a few months before they would be able to do such a thing; however, Keriaz hoped that he would agree for future strengthening ties. *
*Keriaz was someone who was always looking for options. That was her job.. Even though the topic was completely upon the Mon Calamari ships, she still thought of their current allies. He remembered back when he had visited Felucia, while short was a very strange on indeed. He had a vision there that didn't seem to come true... But maybe the time wasn't right for such a path and it was merely something for the future. The Jedi Vire seemed so skittish around him... He was very helpful and kind... Sharak remembered that. Giving a nod to Keriaz he replied with a hiss.*
Yes, we will make a visit once we can be available. If they need us sooner, I am sure they will contact us.
*He changed the projection again and showed a Modified Corvette(Assassin-class corvette). It was ID'd as the Doga*
The Doga shall come into orbit and pick you up as I understand Gar has my ship currently. You will then of course proceed to travel to Mon Calamari. That should be all Keriz.
*With a nod to her, he cut the comm and gave out a hiss of relief.. Finally... they were getting somewhere.*

Re: Governors Building
Hello ,Gar, what have you to report?
:: It is the Ageless Jedi, sir. Recently there had been an incident on Felucia by which they had been hunted down by their enemies. A large battle was fought and after much fighting, the Jedi won. The Ageless held a meeting which turned... violent. There was also a change of leadership; though, nothing that we should be concerned about. Ships are being prepped to come to Barab. They seek our protection, our home, and our respect. ::
*Gar gave a bow and awaited Sharak's decision. Sharak knew this would be the best opportunity to serve the Jedi. If there were enemies hunting them down, let them come. Any invader on Barab is PREY! *
I will pass this on to Keriaz once she become available. I will start procedures for food and other necessities. I am sure Haraz can pull some of the troops to start gathering materials for any construction. Will you be staying on Felucia?
:: Yes, I will stay here... For now ::
Very well then. I will give you updates when possible on the situation. Sharak out.
*Sharak started giving orders for many Barabels to start stockpiling for the Jedi that were to come. In the meantime, he would find out the whereabouts of Keriaz who was oddly... missing... or was she?*

Re: Governors Building
What is it, Keriaz? Did they finally catch that rogue mutant mouse?
*She stopped to think, but shook her head at the random suggestion.*
Yez, but that isn't why I am here. A Marshal Yuen wishes to speak with you. Jaraz just sent the message...twice. Yuen, seems to be a Grey Jedi who used to rule Barab in harmory with the Barabels. I will make Skahbor come with us for he will know of Marshal Yuen since both you and I were not here during the Marshal's occupation. It seems also that the Marshel wishes to make Barab a haven for the Grey Jedi.
*Sharak gave a nod getting up from his chair and picking up Shek. Turning to Keriaz, he started to give some orders.*
I want the Hunter's guard to escort us there and back. Make sure Skahbor meets us at the spaceport; you will come also. Obviously, this will be a full diplomatic meeting. Let us make the Jedi feel they are at home.
*Keriaz gave a nod. Her crystal blue eyes already were thinking of everything that needed to be done. She left the office in a hurry with her assistants going with her to prepare for the coming guests. Sharak himself went into his personal room to prepare for the coming Jedi.*

Re: Governors Building
All of this is happening so fast. I hope we will have everything ready in time.
*The Elder Barabel gave a nod and placed his clawed hands upon her red scaled shoulder.*
Do not fear, Keriaz. I have contacted the Clans and they will do everything they can to help the returning hunters back to their home. Now, about our returning visitors. The Grey Jedi you speak of is a very respected man. Many of us remember him. He took care of the Barabels after we had suffered from the Vong invasion. If he is requesting a safe haven, he will have it.
*Keriaz gave a nod knowing that this Jedi was very important to Skahbor. No doubt he may have worked with the Grey Jedi before. Her eyes looked back into her office where a few assistants stood ready for new orders. Looking back at Skahbor, she exused herself.*
Excuse me, but I must tend to my little ones. Go ahead on to the spaceport. Sharak and I will meet you there.
*Skahbor nodded and parted ways with Keriaz so that she could take care of her business.*
