Coruscant- Friday
There hadn't been any sign that today was going to go terribly. Sia had Jessica in her office, both to talk over actual work and so Jessica could save her day a little by being normal, and then all of a sudden a transmission was forced through, a small blue image of a man, stripped shirtless and tied to a chair, in the middle of the table.
"Oh no," Sia breathed, recognizing him immediately. "Master Val.."
She didn't have time to react any more than that, or to consider that in order to be sending this transmission, they had to be using her communications array to do it, because them a man began speaking. He wasn't in view, but could be heard well over the image of the disgraced Imperial Knight.
"Ask yourselves, do you feel safe?" he began. "The Sith have been defeated, and a new peace has descended on the galaxy. Or has it? You tell yourselves that this new Triumvirate Federation is stronger than the sum of its parts, but you know that's a lie. The Empress holds no real power. The Jedi are only a shadow of what they once were. The Galactic Alliance is broken and weak. You don't have to rely on my word. I'll give you proof."
He stepped into the frame now, a tall, imposing human male in armor, with cybernetics covering most of his face. "You can call me Darth Wredd. Pay close attention. It isn't every day that you see an Imperial Knight killed like a helpless beast. And ask yourself… if I can do this, is there anyone who is safe? If I can so easily mislead and entire system and kill an Imperial Knight- a Master- then who can stop me? Certainly not you, little bug, but I'm happy to have you watch."
Sia frowned- he seemed to be speaking to someone else in the room who wasn't visible, but blaster bolts streaked across the image, and a moment later Wredd had kicked the shooter- a girl- and sent her flying somewhere.
"There's no real power left in the galaxy that can oppose me. No one can guess where I'll strike next," Wredd continued, kicking the chair forward to knock Val forward, onto his face on the floor.
Wredd lifted his lightsaber to bring it down on him, but Val pulled a lightsaber to his hand from somewhere- it wasn't his- and sliced through his bindings so he could twist out of the way just in time. Val sprung to his feet to start doing battle- and then the transmission began to waver in and out, and the holographic figures disappeared.
Naturally things moved fast after that. Sia immediately set Antares on finding out what he could about the situation, and then had to arrange to meet with the rest of the Triumvirate.
"At least they're coming here," Sia said as she walked with Jessica towards the conference room. "It at least gives us time to look like we know what's happening."
