Coruscant- Thursday

[notconflicted]

When Sia became empress, one of the things that surprised her the most was just how much there was to always be aware of. She'd caught glimpses of it that she thought was more like the whole picture, and now she felt like half of her job was trying to keep up on everything that was happening.

(The other half, of course, was meetings, which may or may not have had anything to do with the first half.)

That was going to be most of her day today. The daily meeting was done, now it was just a matter of reading reports until something terrible happened or she slowly lost her mind, whichever came first, typically.


[Expecting one but open!]

“If nothing else, she’s definitely been a help with figuring out how to pilot my ship like an actual flyer,” Jessica said. “I owe her for that.”

“Thanks for the input. It helps confirm that I’m on a good track here.”

"You seem to be. Even if that track has to do with Sith mysticism."

She was so over Sith everything. So over it.

“I’ll take some disgraced politicians cosplaying as Sith wizards over the real thing,” Jessica said. “And don’t worry, if I find out I’m out of my depth, I will call in for reinforcements.”

"I'll make sure to have them on hand if needed," Sia promised. "Though, if at all possible, please don't need them."

“That’s the goal,” Jessica said. “But just as a head’s up, I didn’t actually kill that giant war bug, so if they managed to make any more of those, Gunn is going to at least need her ship. It has to have better lasers than mine.”

Sia hated all of those words, Jessica.

"I may have you debriefed by one of my people who's familiar with Yuuzhaan Vong technology. It sounds like something they'd be able to better prepare for."

“Ooh. I’ll take it,” Jessica said.

"We'll make sure you're set up properly," Sia said.

Not just because she was a little protective. Shh.
