The Chancellor blinked at the information of defensive weapons, it seemed bizzare to him that the would send such a gift. Naboo were not short of their own defences. It seemed to him that the Republic were trying to place their own army on his doorstep, not to protect Naboo but to control it. He kept this to himself though and reached for his water taking a sip only to choke on it at Jedi Moone's final question.
Mia closed her eyes and swore loudly and the Chancellor, having recovered said "I would quite like to know the answer to that question myself." he said, the anger in his voice directed at Mia. "You didn't tell me the break in was Jedi Moone's apartment!"
"What was I supposed to say, ' hey, by the way your grace, that pompous osik of a freelance you hired took it upon himself to investigate the republic jetii based on some di'kulta suspicion he had.' That would have been grand, in front of the Hapan slut as well." The words exploded from Mia's mouth, her own anger rising again, not only at Darren for putting her in this situation but for the Chancellor's accusing tone.
"Mia Monroe, I suggest you watch that tongue of yours before I have it removed. And stop changing languages you know I cannot follow you when you do. Now which freelance are you speaking about?"
For a moment Mia said nothing, while she disagreed entirely with Darren's actions, she could not bring herself to give him up, she chewed her lip in thought.
"Mia." The chancellor pushed her with a simple word and she closed her eyes in dismay and bowed her head. "Darren." she said simply.
The Chancellor said nothing more to her. "Master Moone, I can only apologise for this disgusting violation of your privacy. I can assure you that this freelance will be removed from my service without pay and will not be allowed on site, something I can assure you Mia will garuntee. She might not be a sweet talker but she gets a job done, that much I know." He reached into his draw and handed her the comm ear piece back.
"Call him in, I want to hear this explanation."
Mia walked away again and sank onto a couch. " Darren you Mir'osik get in the chancellor's office now."
