    *Shows holo of a major firefight on Tatooine where multiple Hutts are ordering their minions to destroy village homes*

    Five Civilians were killed in this reckless firefight between two rival factions of the cartel. And you want to know how the citizens of Tatooine are in danger. Never mind the citizens of the galaxy who are put at risk.

    I happen to have my own holo's.

    *motions to assistant and shows presentation of Hutt families enjoying holiday occasions, mothers holding their babies. Some of young Hutt children playing and fathers cuddling babies.*

    Senators, these beings are just like you! How would you feel if I started wanting your family arrested and accused them of being drug lords?

    Senator, As the ancient (and from another galaxy) proverb once stated: If the shoe fits, wear it. While it is unfortunate for those families, those families should also have given those individuals motivation to stop engaging in such nefarious activities.

    While I can see both sides of the argument are valid, let's be sure we are unbiased in our fact finding mission.

    The Vice Chancellor was arranging the Senator to come in I believe. But what works beat for everyone else? It should be a day where most Senators can pop in when they can.

    Madam Chancellor,

    We submitted questions to be asked of the Hutt cartel. Perhaps we can just get written responses?

    The Hutt cartel's representatives absence is telling however.

    Any further questions?

    Senators, for your advance notice, the Hutt's name is Jodha Nubboda. Jodha is a representative of the Hutt Cartel. The meeting will start at 2PM.

    I would remind all Senators to keep their translation modules on if they don't speak Huttese. Our guest does not speak Basic. I, personally, don't speak Huttese so I will be sticking close to mine, as well. The questions we have so far are as follows:
    Please let me know if there are any questions that you would like to ask via PM.

    EDIT: Ah, "translation modules"

    OOC: We have the TARDIS on hand. It's going to send the translation directly into our brains. Just kidding. Each senator has a translation device as noted above. Headset or otherwise to match your ear setup.

    *looks up at the Senators, awaiting the first to speak*

    OOC: Sorry, I got pulled away from the computer.

    Welcome Jodha Nubboda and thank you for coming to this hearing representing the Hutt Cartel. This hearing has been called to discuss some ongoing legislation oriented around the Hutt species and their business dealings. I assure you we will do our level best to make this hearing as fair as possible.

    Questions have been submitted to me for your response. I will say that the wording of some of the questions could be considered a bit sensitive. I will not identify the Senator that raised the question, but if they choose to self-identify, they may.

    First off, I know your species can be either male or female at any time. Do I call you Mr. Nubboda or Ms. Nubboda?

    Yes, I would Senator. *frowns a little*

    Let it be known to this Senate chamber that some of these nefarious accusations have caused trouble for all Hutts in the galaxy. Your words do not stay in this room. Perhaps if you knew the harm your words are causing, you would not be so eager to accuse.

    *a pause, then looks at Senator Ishy*

    Now, for the questions.

    Thank you, Nubboda. A good reminder for us all. Pro and con.

    The first question:
    How do you explain your tax returns and financial statements indicating that you directly finance criminal cells. In several instances, you attempted to "write off" expenses used to pay a hitman, claiming it was for a "business cleaning" expense.
