His image faltered and flickered over the broken screen as he passed it by, several men lay unconscious beneath his feet as he stepped around their bodies en route to a nearby turbolift. The prerecorded showing of the senate address from the Senator of Epoch continued uninterrupted as the flickering worsened, splintering into various fizzled out lines. The Elder reached the turbolift and stepped on, he could still hear his address and plea for more intervention play as the doors closed shut.
<//"It has been my life's work to serve the free peoples of the galaxy."//>
The turbolift slingshot upward, moving quickly in it's ascent. The old man looked at his reflection in the mirror panels as the lift rised, he brushed his beard slightly and fixed his robe. There was a red ring nearly burning it's way out through the thick sky blue eyes of the warm seasoned Jedi. A sign that not all was as it seemed.
The lift stopped and the doors opened in revelation of the penthouse floor. Kaigann Fossk stepped out into the lavish hallway, moving toward the last known location of Senator Maou . HIs hand reached out in gesture and with a dismissal of two fingers he willed upon the door to open. He would enter of his own will.
