OOC: Don't wish for that!!! I doubt I could handle that many! lol

Keal finds that Ferraldy Tower (if that's what he's asking about) was a purely residential tower, and as such, only employed guards, technicians, and maintenance workers, with many of the other work being performed by droids.

The guards outside of Kralla T'on's apartment (Kralla T'on is the Sullustan that is your witness, Keal), ask for your security clearance.

Bakilas is greeted well indeed by the man, who seems to be a bit of a drunkard, but eyed suspiciously by his friends. He continues, blaming most of the problems of the lower level on the government, specifically on the Bothans, who "can't just accept that something doesn't belong to them." According to him, the lower levels of Coruscant are far closer to siding with the Hutts than siding with the Bothans, and the opinion of the locals of the Bothans just keeps sinking, especially after the incident at Ferraldy Tower. Word on the street is that the building's security was such that the only paramilitary force that could have broken it was the Bothans, or the Republic. Some thought the Republic did it, but most thought it was the Bothans.

Eciel notes a glimmer of hope, both in the Twi'lek's eyes and in the subtle currents of the Force emanating off of him. He shakes his head at the realization he had used his power subconsciously, without even thinking about it. That wasn't the problem for now, though. There were other things in play.

Yulo caves, finally, and tells Eciel his story, telling him of his beautiful family and happy life. Then, one evening, in going out to the speeder pad for some alone time, after having a bit of an argument with his wife over the children, saw a brilliant blue light from below. The building rocked, and began to tilt noticably. Suddenly, Yulo's feet had felt lighter, and he had known the building was going downward, toward the explosion. In disbelief, he had been paralyzed, and soon, he was falling with the rest of the tower. Only through luck did he manage to achieve his airspeeder. By the time its engines were started, he was inside the cloud of debris, with smoke and ferrocrete dust engulfing his vision. Grasping the controls in shock, he hit the repulsorlifts, angling upward, hoping that he wouldn't hit anything on the way up. Only after the initial shock of the collapse had passed and he was above the debris-cloud did he realize the terrible price he had paid.
