[ Senate ] Protecting Senator Salixa
-

Tera Inogo - PC
Tera didn't really understand how anyone inside the embassy could be in contact with the Slave Rebellion. As far as she was concerned, she expected all communication to be either seriously encrypted, or monitored by senate security, and even the encrypted datastreams would be monitored for destination. Then again, she also remembered reading about the inane senate discussions and complete lack of understanding of even the most basic security practices by many politicians she read about...
"Hello, I am Tera Inogo.", Tera tried to state in remunzian. She did not actually speak the language, but she had the idea that the senator needed some normalcy around her, instead of serious-looking, question-asking military people — besides if she bungles the attempt, that's a good way to start conversing anyway.

Jaicen was able to get a list of embassy workers, containing some one hundred or so names and jobs - none of them included "communications to the Slave Rebellion" however.
"I don't know what you could do to help..." the Senator admitted softly to Nathan. She didn't seem in the mood to have a detailed conversation about what had happened, instead sinking ever deeper into her despair.
When Tera addressed her directly in Remunzian though she looked up, tears in her eyes. "Are you... Remunzian...?" she wondered confused

"Well, not exactly. But I'm planning to learn quickly...", Tera replies.
Tera looks around to check for other people in the room and, upon concluding that there's no one else here, states: "Right. So, Nathan maybe we should discuss a plan?"
As she waits for Nathan to formulate an answer, she walks around the senator to get an idea of her physique and style of dress. At the end, Tera stands next to the Remunzian and determines the height difference.

Nathan quickly understood what Tera was doing. But there was more they needed to do.
"Senator, we are not just here to protect you. We are also here to help you perform your job. Can I do anything to help you relax?"
After the senator answered him he turned to Tera.
"You sound like you have a plan. Care to share?"

Senator Salixa nodded a bit to Tera and Nathan "I'm not sure if it will still be a living language after all of this..." she worried, apparently predicting doom for her people.
The Senator was pretty short, about the same height as Tera. Tera was clearly more athletic, while the Senator was more slender - no doubt in part due to her corset. But their general build wasn't too far off regardless.
Tera recognized the style of dress as part of the Natural Beauty line, though clearly the Senator had gotten some exclusive access as her clothing were of higher quality than the ones for sale in the cities department stores.

"My plan isn't terribly complex to be honest. But most good plans aren't."
She looks at the dress again.
"I suggest that I and the senator switch appearances and places. We've got roughly the same body shape, so if I wear her clothing — including the corset — I'll be a passable body double..."
"Senator, would you be agreeable to this plan? It would involve some effort with make-up and such, but it will help ensure your safety."

"Agreed, simple plans are often the best. We'll have to make it look good, though."
Nathan replied to Tera. He turned back to the Senator.
"I'm certain the Union won't let the Silver Forests of Remunzia fall, senator. I get you are worried about your people. During the Mandalorian War my homeworld came under attack, so I have some idea of how you might feel."
"Know that we will support you any way we can."

"Thank you Padawan Asillion" the Senator smiled sadly at him a moment "I pray that it will all work out... though I fear many will die no matter what is done."
The Remunzian woman seemed a bit surprised at the plan Tera had proposed, needing a moment to process it before looking Tera over carefully as she considered the possibilities.
"You would look very beautiful in a Natural Beauty gown." she finally agreed, leaning in to peer under the hood of the Jedi's hood "Though your hair is pretty... dead." she looked awkward as if that was the most polite way she could say something rude. "We'll need to do something with that."
Whether the plan worked or not, at the very least it had distracted the Senator for a moment from her worries.

"Well, my Jedi robes' hood wouldn't really fit if my hair would be more voluminous...", Tera mused.
"So. If that's the plan, maybe we should go somewhere where changing clothes is easier? Especially considering the whole make-up situation. I did bring my red lipstick, but I must admit that it is probably not fully organic...", the way Tera eyed Nathan and Jaicen seemed to convey another reason for her to want to go somewhere else to change.
"Furthermore, I've also brought a large volume of food, so that we can prevent poisoning through locally sourced, organically and ecologically netural foodstuffs. The food I brought comes directly from the stores in the Jedi temple, and is certainly not poisoned. And I've also brought enough water for three days. So that covers the food and drink angle."
"Nathan, maybe you can use your enhanced vision to be a better sentinel than I would be?"

Nathan quickly understood Tera's worries. He grabbed Jaicens hoverchair and headed for the door.
"Call when you two are ready."
He exited the office and closed the door behind him.
He switched vision mode to infrared and scanned the area.

The Senator nodded "If I am to wear Jedi Robes, we'll need to look for a solution for that..." she agreed with Tera
"We can go to my dressing room" she nodded. The dressing room was next to the office and consisted of a central area with a well lit mirror and table, as well as a walk in closet where various gowns were laid out. Notably, the room also included a feed dispenser, where you could easily get food for various animals. As a result, many critters scurried towards that area when Tera and the Senator entered.
Nathan meanwhile scanned the area to see what was going on. All seemed quiet, except for a fluffy white bunny which was hopping through the hallway towards the dressing room.

Nathan thought it would be better to be safe then sorry.
He quickly checked if Jaicen was still buried in the list and then took action.
Concentrating on the Force he made the bunny turn around and head towards him instead. If he succeeded he would pick up the bunny, gently.

Tera looks at the dressing room with some astonishment, as she would have never guessed that such a room would actually be directly next to an office. But, given that it was here and that there wasn't really a better plan, she simply starts to disrobe.
She puts down her lightsabers near the mirror, making sure they are within reach. Then, with quick efficiency she folds the Jedi robes and puts them on the table, followed quickly by the simple undergarments. She then turns towards the senator, expecting to find a corset on the table due to her assumption that the also disrobe.

By the time Tera had stripped out of her outfit the Senator hadn't taken off anything yet. She was still fidgetting with the lacing of her gown, and though she was making progress it was terrifyingly slow. It probably didn't help that the outfit restricted her freedom of movement, which made the whole ordeal even less practical.
"Can you help me a moment?" she asked, one of the birds in the Senators hair looking at Tera like it might not appreciate her getting too close, though most of the others didn't seem to care one way or another, as long as that feed dispenser was going to see some use soon.

"Of course", Tera replies.
Before she helps the senator unlace she gently maneuvres Salixa such that Tera is standing between the senator and the door, and she can still reach her lightsabers on the table. Then, she starts to help the senator unlace the dress, and anything else that needs unlacing.

With Tera's aid, the Senator was able to work her way out of her gown and corset. Fortunately, the birds kept quiet and didn't interfere, and soon the Senator was taking off her gloves and boots on her own as she regained her freedom of movement.
Nathan meanwhile used the force to gently pick up the bunny, lifting it up above the ground and turning it around. Suddenly, just as he was putting it back down, the bunny exploded, sending shrapnel and fluff in all directions!

Upon hearing the explosions, Tera not-so-smoothly pushed the senator to the ground behind the table. Immediately following that, she grabs her lightsabers and heads towards the door.
She opens the door to the office slightly, enough to peer into the office. Then, she waits. She expects the senate building's security systems to activate due to the explosion, so waiting for a moment gives her a better idea of the level of infiltration so far — if the security system doesn't trigger the remunzian embassy is definitely compromised.
Also, she realizes that she isn't actually wearing anything.

In the split second Nathan registered the explosion, he moved into action.
Turning his back against the explosion he shielded his front and Jaicen from the shrapnel and fluff.
After the explosion he opened the door to the office a tiny bit.
"Tera, you two okay in there!?"
He shouted into the office.
He also took his lightsabre in his hand, but did not activate it yet.
"What the hell is Senate Security doing?" He muttered under his breath.

The Senator looked as confused as she was surprised, trying to find her bearings and figure out what just happened, what that sound was and why she was on the ground with Tera on top of her all of a sudden.
Stunned, she remained where she was as Tera rushed to the door to see what was going on.
In the hallway, blood and guts were splattered all over, shrapnel lodge into the walls and scorched fluffy fur slowly floating down. Nathan was mostly alright, having been far enough away from the blast to prevent any serious injury.
From the gore and blood, Nathan realised why the Senate Security had not detected the bomb - it had been put inside an actual live bunny. As in, someone had taken a bunny, surgically inserted a bomb, and then set it loose in the Senate. No doubt some kind stranger had realised this had to be a lost Remunzian pet and had returned it to the embassy, unaware that the creature had a bomb inside of it.
For now at least the Senator stayed inside, no doubt not wanting to be seen in a state of undress, though perhaps that was a good thing as she might not take too well to seeing an innocent bunny exploded all over the hallway.
Meanwhile, Senate Security forces had gathered outside the embassy, requesting Nathans permission to enter via the wireless communication channel.

"We are!"
Not having heard any alarm, Tera adds at a normal volume: "Does senate security react in any way? I'm not hearing any alarms — if they don't react, the embassy is compromised."

"They're at the door requesting permission to enter." Nathan called back.
He checked the channel Senate Security was using to see if there was anything suspicious about it. as he did so he approached the door. Then he replied.
"You can enter one at a time, no weapons. You are not to proceed beyond the hallway."

Senate Security forces entered, as instructed without weapons.
"Are any of the hostiles still active?" the commander inquired of Nathan

"Would you believe me if I told you it was a bunny that did this?" Nathan asked the commander.
He turned around and called out to Tera.
"Tera, we're clear for now. Senate Security is here. Finish up in there."
Turning back to the commander he added something.
"I want a you to get me a description of everyone and anything else about them who brought a lost pet or animal to the Remunzian Embassy in the last week."

"Yes Sir!" the man from Senate Security saluted and ran off to get the requested information "Shall we sweep all the rooms in the embassy?" he offered "There might be other explosives."
