    As you may have guessed my fellow senators, I have deep connections with the Coruscanti Security Force. (CSF) Their Special Operations Teams have been dispatched to Muunilist. There is a massive hostage situation brewing there. A secret meeting between Chief Executive Officers of the Banking Clan's largest member banks was interrupted and the criminals who took these beings hostage are demanding the release of thousands of known terrorists from various prisons around the galaxy. I am troubled by two things here. One, I fear for the health and safety of all those involved. Two who is funding these obviously well funded and informed hostage takers? The CSF Spec Ops team again, has reason to believe the rumored "First Order" is involved in this undertaking. I will not negotiate with terrorists, however, there is the issue of the safety of these highly placed bankers, Many galactic corporations are nervous for various reasons as board members have been blowing up my communicator for hours. I feel intervention is needed. The question of how much intervention is up for debate.

    OOC: People, I have my daughter this weekend and I'll be back Monday. :)

    May I make a suggestion?

    Back in the slave days of Tatooine, small chips were implanted in slaves, allowing their masters to detonate the chips whenever they pleased or if the slave ran too far away. It was a barbaric practice.

    Perhaps we can sedate these terrorists, implant such chips, and release them after the criminals have released the hostages.

    We should not stoop that low Senator. We are not slave owners. May I suggest an infiltration team instead Chancellor?

    With all due respect, Senator, an infiltration team would be risky to the hostages. I'm afraid the safest option would be to make an agreement with the hostage takers, and find a way to kill the released prisoners. Or, at least, trap them all.

    Implants would take care of this. I am willing to take care of this...quietly.

    And you believe they would be spotted? We can get the hostages to safety well we distract the 'first order' agents. There are many ways into that facility I'm sure. We need to use it to our advantage.

    But there is risk. I'm not saying they would be seen, but they could. With as many hostages as these criminals have, I'm sure they could spare a few of them to set an example.

    Of course. Which is why we must be cautious.

    But an infiltration team isn't a cautious tactic.

    Chancellor Darth_Furio

    I strongly suggest my previous plan. For our hostages, it is the safest plan.

    By infiltration team, I mean that they sneak in and safely deal with rescuing the hostages. I'm sure we could all figure out the best course of action together. Chancellor Darth_Furio, please consider my proposal on the situation. We do not need to use slavers methods.

    It might be, as we don't know if the kidnappers have spies amongst local rescue ops.

    True. If we work within the prisons where the terrorists are kept, nothing would get out.

    And, you wouldn't be putting your soldiers at risk.

    We have thousands of discarded implants that were abandoned when we outlawed slavery.

    Sounds tempting, but I think we should wait for our fellow senators to weigh in on this issue.

    Congratulations, Senators Nehru_Amidala and Sinrebirth on your new positions!

    And with regards to that brewing hostage situation, I can step in to help. As you guys know, I am the Artificial Intelligence of the Millennium Falcon and she's the flagship of our renowned YT-1300 freighter models. Since the ships of the Corellian Engineering Corporation can be used for both civilian and combat means, I can help with providing transport for the Special Forces team in vessels that should not arouse suspicion. I will not recommend the Falcon lookalikes as she's too much of a marked ship, but we do have some models that are heavily used by galactic corporations involved in cargo and shipping, which should be perfect for the job.

    Of course, even as Senator of Corellia, I have to bring this up to the CEC's Board of Directors and gain their approval before this can be started!

    This could work. Would you mind a few of my infiltrators coming aboard? They are trained in stealth and combat. Provided that the plan gets approved of course Senator.

    Your concerns are noted, Senator Bazinga'd... What is it that's worrying you?

    And to Senator TheSilentInfluence, let's hope the plan gets properly deliberated and once we have the green-light, I can let your men utilize some of our ships for infiltration purposes. With the Millennium Falcon on standby as she will back you guys up if things get messy!

    To all Senators, may I be excused? My PA informed me that the Directors of the CEC are here in my office and wanting to discuss the terror attack shortly... *Senator Falcon exits the discussion and proceeds to meet with the Board of Directors *

    OOC: Because I originally nominated myself for Chancellor, only to be reminded that somebody else had to do that, and Millennium Falcon 888 congratulated me on my promotion in the post he tagged me in. That's why I am confused, nobody informed of any promotion.

    I feel a disturbance in the Force.

    OOC: Nehru_Amidala To be elected Chancellor someone has to nominated. You were appointed Vice-Chancellor, which is a different position.

    The Force does not work that way. I only have abstract feelings that the galaxy will be under the influence of the dark side in the foreseeable future.
