JEDI COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CORUSCANT, CORUSCA SECTOR, CORE WORLDS
As Oren Sol traverses the splendid halls of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the tranquil evening hours, he becomes immersed in an atmosphere of unparalleled serenity. The temple's grandeur was a breathtaking spectacle, its elegant, arched architecture seeming to reach ever skyward. The walls were adorned with intricate, luminescent murals that tell the vivid story of the galaxy's history and the noble lineage of the Jedi Order. Soft, ambient lighting emanates from concealed sources, casting elongated, graceful shadows that dance across the polished marble floors, enhancing the temple's profound sense of tranquillity.
The evening air was filled with a harmonious hum, a delicate symphony of hushed conversations, the sound of footfalls reverberating through the corridors, and the faint, resonance of lightsabers engaged in training sessions. It was as though the very stones of the temple were suffused with the omnipresent presence of the Force, bearing witness to the profound power that guides and unites the Jedi. Eventually, he found himself in front of the imposing double doors leading to the council chambers, adorned with the intricate emblem of the Jedi Order, which stood as stoic sentinels. With a nearly inaudible whisper, they part to reveal the inner sanctum.
Inside, the chamber opened up into a circular layout with soaring, arched ceilings. At its heart lay a slightly raised circular platform which was surrounded by, cushioned seats that encircled the platform; upholstered in ethereal shades of blue and green, symbolic of the Jedi's unwavering commitment to the Light Side of the Force. As the evening's dim light gracefully filters into the chamber, Oren Sol advanced with a combination of deep reverence and determined purpose, silently observing this hallowed space as he stood on the raised platform with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Master Kai'el, I am pleased to report that my assignment was a success and that Senator Lucius Abernathy of Nubia was able to safely return to Nuba. When he alerted the Senate that he suspected an assassination attempt, I was hesitant to believe him at first. But as the Galactic Republic felt that is was necessary to provide additional security on his return home, I was more than willing to assist. Never would I have expected though that things would not go as planned, and that my presence was not enough to deter these... assailents."
He paused for a moment as he allowed the words to linger in the air before he continued. "As we exited hyperspace and approached the planet, we were assailed by pirates. Our shield did not hold out for long under their attack, and soon our engines were disabled. I was able to hold off their boarding crew until help from Nubia arrived, though not without significant loss from our side. I fear that Nubia will soon enter into turmoil with news of pirates making their way so far into the core circulate. However, I fear this is not an end to the matter, someone wants Senator Abernathy dead, and as to why... he seems rather unforthcoming in the matter."
