Colonel Hala Moraal wrote:"Did you see the Republic yesterday?"
"I saw the recordings. What in the seven hells were they thinking?"
"I know! Even Captain Alderaan couldn't keep them in line!"
"And that's the worst of it! You'd think a Jedi would know better, but a senator? Of Coruscant no less! He told her not to do it, and she just kept baiting and arguing with the Shadow!"
"I heard that the guests inside were saved by a bunch of Sith!"
"No, not just Sith. An Imperial trooper and the guy with the suave hat."
"So the Empire was inside fighting to protect everyone, even the Republic, and the Republic was outside picking a fight with the Imperial colonel!"
"Disgraceful... I wonder if that Kidaja wouldn't have died, or who else could have been saved, if the Republic wasn't focused on putting on a show of force and getting innocent people hurt..."
"Seir'oto didn't even say a single word.... he's lost and the bloodthirsty among them took over."

"It's a good thing that the Empire released a full audio recording of what happened on the outside.... It would be hard to believe that Senator Skulduggery just interrupted Col. Moraal while she was talking Captain Alderaan through what happened.... and then later punched her!"
"And the Jedi who just wouldn't stop grabbing her? Baesal Zyn? Laying hands on a member of the opposite delegation-"
"Repeatedly! That's not the Jedi way.... They're just frauds. They're all frauds."
"Yeah! Senator Anti-Jedi, Senator 'The Republic Doesn't Depend on the Jedi' had a Jedi set up her hack to cause the explosion, then sicced the Jedi on Moraal when she walked away."
"And then set off that explosion, too! Right next to that poor she'd already told the terrorist that he could cut pieces off her!"
"Poor girl indeed. She would have been fine until the Republic came to save her."
"Coulda been you... coulda been me...."
"Shit...."
".... Remember Talara"
"Remember Talara"
