The Women doesent reply as he leaves The Building back trough The Door of The Alleyway. Travic and Citylights from above lighten Raphaels way trough The City.
Juliet turns to him after dismissing The Officers to their Duty. "I have Zero Experience in preparing things for Officials....and this Time its The Emperor himself....Im shaking internally"
leaving the woman for the Warehouse Raphael calls his contacts on Coruscant from a nearby holoport,trying to find any information about who and what might be there that he can help so he can make the decision of what hes going to exactly do with the supplies
Commander Leto chuckled, ‘It will be my head on the line—High Command made me represent the base during the Emperor’s visit.’ He folded his arms in front of him, ‘If High Command would send any details about the visit, it might help more than guessing what the Emperor expects.’ Arkad smiled at Juliet, ‘And it will be you who will be commanding the base while I am gone with Saxon.’
Raphael thinks of a Person he could call from The Top of his head: Joer, A Old but for his 70 Years rather Massive Build Man and for Raphael a Fatherfigure who took him under his Wing and teached him the ways of Professional Smuggling.
Calling Joer,Raphael voice for the first time in a long while drops its light-hearted tone as he grows concerned he might have lost a good friend "Joer just heard the news...i'm gonna go get a shipment of blasters...is there anyone there who can take and use it? I know it might be desperate but what the hell is going on there are there any republic resistance cells? and how the hell did you survive?"
"Raphael....i expected much but not You calling me. Its been a while. Where are You My Son?" Joers deep voice asks. He would never admitt it but Joer was concerned about his Protege.
Arkad stepped closer to her and clasped his hand on her shoulder, ‘Look around you, Lieutenant. What are you doing if not leading these men? Even if it is only ordering them to get the place presentable, they are following your orders.’
Juliet shooks her head in fear. "Im inexperienced. Should it come to a Battle i will be clueless what to do Sir. I....i cant do this..."
"Nar Shaddaa...." checking to make sure the comm is seccure and out of hearing by anyone Raphael continues "got myself a ship and Captain for a run...also it looks like I'm partnering up with Anna again..but the more interesting thing is...I ran into a sith..and got saved by a jedi..we just finishd arguing cause shes hiding rather than helping.." Raphael sighs "How you doing old man? I know you had contacts with a few republic agents."
Arkad smiled at her, ‘And you think Kern would have done any better than atrocious? Besides, there is no resistance left on Coruscant. There will not be any battles—just policing duty and keeping the peace.’
"Oh Raphael what You gotten Yourself into....Right now Coruscant is The Last Place to Smuggle anything. They established a blockade around The Planet. No Ship comes and leaves without them allowing it. Stay low Raphael..."
"Haha! you know imperial blockades are my thing...and if anything once on planet i could go on and trade..." Chuckling Raphael flip a blaster around and points it at the wall "anyways where would I take the shipment of blasters then? tatooine?"
Joer sighs "No too predictable. I can arrange something on Alderaan. Its neutral Space and less Rival business."
‘Why did you join the officer corps then, Lieutenant? At some point it was inevitable that you would get command if you wanted to rise in the ranks,’ Arkad said, ‘Maybe I should request that you come with me to Mandalore? I am sure there are plenty of officers who would love a cushy desk job here.’
Juliet nods "Please i would prefer to head with You and The Fleet to Mandalore....I just dont feel ready yet to carry such a burden" she says ashamed.
"you do realize I was joking right? this is gang territory...and they are imerperail blasters...if theres no other reason for me to not come I'm headed back to coruscant,not like the rebellion is gonna win without guns right?" Raphael waits for a response from the older man and prepares his blasters for combat
Arkad was a bit disappointed in the young officer’s insecurity, but he tried not to show it, ‘I will see what I can do,’ Arkad said, ‘I would certainly be delighted to have you with me, Lieutenant. Maybe you will learn a thing or you if we work together more ... closely.’ The Commander smirked at her.
