*** IKS Warwolf, approaching Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
Inside the Warwolf, one particular Ferasan could be found with his arms wrapped around a female's hips, his lips locked with hers in a passionate kiss. "It's been too long," Ken'ji whispered to her, "I was worried I wouldn't get here in time. That thing with the Rogue Jedi..."
*** Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
Such as it was, no such translation was required; a cheery protocol droid approached Weaver and Ray. "Greetings! Welcome to Dragon'taan!" it greeted them, "You are fortunate to arrive this soon - the Marauder Festival is soon to begin! If you hurry to the speech area, you might catch High General Indari's speech - intra-district taxi transports are all free for the duration of the festival. And before you ask - the Speech is being held in front of the Government Enclave in the Central District; better hurry, High General Indari is already there, getting ready for his speech!"
Nearby, a press crew of Romulans - clearly from the Romulan Republic - was hurrying to a taxi station. "Hurry, you guys! We don't want to keep High General Indari waiting!" the leader of the group urged his colleagues.
*** Speech Area, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
Kyle was still going over the speech he had settled in on in his head, waiting for that press crew to arrive. In one corner, he wondered what was keeping the crew.
*** Tigress' Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"Hnh," Blythe remarked. "You have some real pull with the High General, then. You must get a lot of guys asking you out - not many get that close to a man like Indari. Or, so I hear."
*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"So am I," Falco stated. "It was not a pleasant experience. You should really thank the... Lucario guy that drove away the spirits, whatever his name was." It was then that the door bell jingled, and a Red Lucario stepped into the restaurant. Clipped to his belt were lightsabers, and he had characteristic Yellow eyes of a Sith. But he seemed just normal - no hostile expression, no gestures or anything to suggest he was here to cause trouble. He indicated the bar, where two empty stools sat. "See - empty stools, I told you we'd find seats here, Cobalt!" he said to someone, though it was not immediately clear who he was speaking to.
"Yes, he is," Malcolm told Kelli. "We'd better hurry to the Central District if we want to catch Uncle Kyle's speech."
"Good luck figuring out why someone had my memory wiped from my lost memories," Travis scoffed. "They more than likely didn't tell me."
*** Indari Manor, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
It was as Markus was going over reports when Drake came out of the bedroom he shared with his wife, dressed in his full military attire. "Come on, kids! We don't want to miss your grandfather's speech!"
"Almost ready, dad!" came Jason's Response.
Faintly, Tyber could be heard talking to Shiloh: "You look gorgeous, dear - so let's move, I don't want to miss your grandpa's speech. First one I'll have been to that I was at with you."

Alduah smiled as Bahkriid explained the situation. "Marvelous, my apprentice - simply marvelous. Without my instruction, you have expanded your own power. And even in this day and age, a Sith should always be looking for ways to expand their power," he complimented her. He looked to the others present. "Did anything else happen?"
"Nothing that we've seen so far," Akarkek replied. "We've been expecting company, but no one beyond us has arrived."
"However, I do sense a dark presence approaching the planet," Jaden added. "I can't specify as to who, though."
*** Dromund Kaas ***
A green lightsaber went active, and a brown-robed Jedi dropped from the trees, not far from Malgus. He immediately sent a telekinetic wave at Malgus, which was promptly redirected back at him by Malgus; the Jedi - a human - staggered, but did not fall. Malgus's hand remained on his lightsaber, but he did not draw it. "There is no need to attack me, Jedi - I am not the same Sith I once was," Malgus told the Jedi.
"The hell, you're not! Sith never reform! Your kind's transition into being a force for a better galaxy is another Sith lie!" the Jedi snarled.
"Don't believe me?" Malgus asked, "Ask the Mongdrigans who surround you; they can attest for the good I have done."
Rather than ask, the Jedi rushed Malgus, who Force-pushed the Jedi into a nearby tree.
*** Gamma-5 ***
The Sangheili Fleet, when finding nothing on scanners, shifted their focus on the debris field, intent on finding out how the planets managed to collide.
