Vasily tried to kneel down next to Gypsie, but the pain of his wound caused him to drop to the deck next to her. He could barely feel his legs, and he was losing a lot of blood. Nonetheless, he shushed her, hugged her, and would give her a tender kiss on her lips. He loved her - he still did. He was not going to hold anything against her.

Ketorr stood before a mirror, straightening out his uniform. He just put John down for a nap, and Lian and her fiance agreed to watch over John while Ketorr was away. Ketorr had been called to the Military Enclave, reason unknown, though he had been assured it was a minor matter - albeit one that required his attention.

"Helm," Draco commanded, "Set a course for Tatooine, best possible speed."
Lana was walking with Blaine, just stepping onto the bridge as she asked him, "You referring to Zuko and his Spartan counterpart, Frosty?"

Taxi rides there from anywhere on Coruscant are free - even from Customs. Once you're there, just ask a guard to direct you to the Chancellor's office."
