Terassk also follows

Eceil, who had awoken by the others movements, found his way into the conference room right as the General began his inquisition.
He wasn’t just some force wielding nut case! He was an actual Jedi, and maybe even a run away one at that! At least Eceil had some degree of secrecy on his side, but here this kid was in front of the entire team about to try and explain what people shouldn’t be forced to explain. The realization hit Eceil hard, but with it came a newfound sympathy for Te’Oma.
The force works in mysterious ways, Eceil couldn’t deny it. Following the others outside, he turns to Joneth with a nod.
“Smart move.”

OOC: Three is good enough to say that there isn't significant resistance, so Barrick and Bakilas also follow Joneth out. Also, since I'm taking it as a given that you all are recording General Larsek (he sure would be taking it as a given in this case), I'm just going to post what he says to Te'Oma rather than PMing it to Beaumanior.

<font color=yellow>The group heads out of the conference room, Bakilas and Barrick in tow behind them. They reach the corridor, and the door closes behind them, when Joneth stops them to give his explanation.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room, Te'Oma is faced with a question that concerns everyone, and a small amount of uncertainty creeps into his mind. From the Force, he knows that the best way to approach the General is to be honest---it would get the best answers out of him, and would promote a bit of trust on everyone's side. Conversely, to tell him, on a broadcast (despite heavy encryption) of the Chancellor's plan would be risky, and very well may endanger the mission, the group, and the Chancellor.

One thing is for sure---It is decision time.</font>

<font color=green>Joneth turns to all of the gathered group.
<font color= lightgreen>Well, gentlemen, we are in an interesting situation, here. I have been able to track our fine general, though he didnt make it that easy because of his unorthodox procedure. It seems that he is inour complex. Well, to be more specific, in the access tunnel of this complex. I don't really trust the privacy of comm channels, so I think talking to him personally is a better idea. I can lock him in, but I don't want there to be violence, or give him the wrong impression. Any thoughts? Questions, answers, or ideas? If not, i suggest we all grab a speeder, and go meet our friend, and I'll lock the doors.</font> </font>

<font color="dodgerblue">Te'Oma looked into the eyes of the general, slightly lost for words, he thought; "I knew we should have discussed what to say. I told them, but they all wanted sleep. Think fast, Te'Oma". Te'Oma didn't really enjoy these Comm conversations, he'd much rather do this in person. It's much easier that way, he thought.

Following his years of training, Te'Oma follows his sense of the force and decides to be honest with the General.

"Yes, It is true, I am member of the Jedi Order. I can be trusted general, I think you know that. But please, trust me enough to meet me and my companions in person. You never know who is listening in on connections like these. For all our sakes, let me tell you this to your face"</font>

<font color=white>"Today is your lucky day, then, Te'Oma. I just happen to be in the neighborhood. See, I don't like to trust comm tracing devices too much, myself, so I collect the various ping times from different transponders, and then triangulate the data myself. It helps keep me mathematically sharp, though it's admittedly not as accurate as a real trace. Regardless, I figure you are inside of Carracks Inc. right now, with your friends who may or may not have been trying to kill me...and I'm right outside, in the access tunnel, which a quick sensor sweep tells me is completely devoid of any defensive structures. I have a combat airspeeder, with concussion grenade launchers, which I assure you can punch through your bay door in a few shots.

So, basically, I'm in a good bargaining position, and I would like to speak with you face to face. You're terribly lucky, really, since that's what you seem to want also."</font><font color=yellow> Says General Larsek matter-of-factly, his face devoid of any emotion.</font>

OCC:is this the right place?

The generals bodygaurd stepped forward to end any contemplations of ill acts that may be brewing in the mind of this unknown "Jedi".

<font color=yellow>A young human, clothed as you would expect a padawan to be, leans into the holofield beside the General, his torso seeming to float without legs within the hologram.</font>

OCC:Thank you!

“The general’s here? In this building? Look, Joneth, what we do is your call, but if you ask me having a man we don’t trust who might be linked to the bombing this to our home isn’t good. Now if you wanted me to, just give me one of the others and ten minutes and I’ll have you the General bound, gagged, and ready for questioning.”

OCC: Btw, nice job Ilander getting the new guy in the story like that.
