"You are right about one thing..." Ire says in response to Konstai while shifting his evil gaze to Sam briefly; in his mind Lt. Milla failed Ire yet again when he declined an issued challenge to him, that is sickening to the Emperor. Ire's eyes fall on Grievous; the metallic monstrosity is over confident but ambitious, it is that ambition and the fact that the Emperor soaked resources into the toaster that he remains a useful tool."...they are weak."
Ire begins to head to a pair of ornate doors off to the right of his throne, as he walks away, Ire issues his decision. "It is clear to me that even given your instabilities, if you posses even a fraction of the ability I believe you to have Doctor, you are far more worthy to be an apprentice to me. If you think you can tame these two and make them worthy tools, be my guest, the Lieutenant and the Toaster will be left to aid you."
Opening the doors, Ire turns his fiery gaze to Konstai and raises a single red skinned finger to the doctor. "Just remember one thing, their lives, your life, are ultimately in my hands.
Ire then looks to Lord Zairon, "Executor, send your knights to Tion to deal with this Sovereign Galactic Empire and take yourself to Kal'Shebbol with a fleet and help secure our Imperial brothers and sisters' saftey from the oppression of the Galactic Alliance."
Ire then walks through the ornate doors to his private quarters to re-dress. "Dismissed."

The pressure was great as he fell to all four, Rajnish cuts off his voice box so no one can hear his scream. It was a poor trick that the Madman done to him. He was right, he will live but this was a lesson learned. Next time he will remove his arm from his body.
Rajnish listen to him saying how he was bowing to him, Raj tried to get up but he cannot. Then as the pressure came it was gone, then he gets up off all four. He listens to the Emperor saying the Madman was his master. Rajnish continue to listen as the Emperor turns away, he now lower himself to the Madman.
"What is your bidding my master."
He hoped that fighting along side of the Emperor, he showed he was worth training. He place his head lower to his new master an waits on his command.

*Sam looks at the Doctor then sighs not letting his life get stuck upon the present moment. Sam knew the doc was crazy, but Sam also found a few things he could learn from the doc so he doesn't go into the same state as the doc. Who would want to see another whack job who used to be an Imperial officer.*

Anakin past the doors of the Imperial Palace and makes his way towards the throne room. It seemed like it's been a while since he walked through the palace. He walks in and summons one of the guards.
"Alert the Emperor, tell him that we are here."

Konstai grins at the Ire and his comments;
"Of course my Lord, but I already have proof of your faith in my capabilities. For how many living can honestly say they have both bled and burned you?"
His smile gets even wider, at least on one side of his face at the least.
The smile goes away as he turns his gaze upon Rajnish and Lt. Milla, and snaps his fingers.
"Pick up your pathetic carcasses and accompany me... it is time you learned to be useful."
As Konstai starts to leave the throne room he pauses in the doorway waiting for the mandroid and the whelp, he takes the opportunity to slam his left shoulder into the frame resetting it from the injury Rajnish and his machine strength imparted.
He continues on with the two "trainees" in tow, passing Anakin, Kommisar and Takeda in the outer chambers.

-Inside Ire's private quarters-
Lord Ire tears off the burnt and tattered remnants of his robes and tosses them in a corner, a service droid comes out and collects it for disposal, he heads to the closet and opens it to reveal a room with multiple sets of robes and lightsabers on the wall. Grabbing a fresh set of robes, Ire tosses the robes on the bed before going to the refresher but is interrupted by a beep from one of the aides that Grand Vizer Skywalker is in the throne room waiting for him. Ire presses the button on the wall and tells the aide to keep the Grand Vizer occupied until he is done cleaning up. Ire then enters the washroom to wash the charred cloth smell from his body before debriefing the Skywalker, he is interested to hear what has become of the Imperial Regent.

Anakin waits patiently, in the mean time he gets his datapad and goes through all the information that he had gathered. He also has the samples of the zombies that are being preserved.

After having accompanied the Vizier and the Regent down on the shuttle, Takeda waits in the back with his "escort". He entertains himself by looking around and taking in the sights of the palace as he waits, noting the impressive and actually somewhat cheerful decor, it is not at all like he imagined it.

Rajnish gets up and watch the doctor put his arm back in place. If he could smile he would but his present body does not allow him too. He walks pass the Madman an opens the door for him. He keep his head lowered as he speaks.
"I look forward to improving my powers, master."
He says nothing else but waits and then follows him.

Once to the room is finally cleared of others; Kommisar enters the throne room, walking past the doctor and his new lackeys, clutching a datapad that contained his cross-referenced and fifth draft version of his report about outbreak of undead on THX-1138. Kommisar remembers Kaalyanii's sacrifice on staying behind, but what what will become of the project that she proposed, will the Extolled and the Empire continue on in the manner of being in which it was started, these questions would have to come to later. Kommisar looks over to Anakin and Takeda briefly before going back to make a few last edits to his report.
Ire enters the throne room and passes a slight glance at his men before his attention is drawn to the Kwa that stands before him... and his presence in the Force... the Emperor doesn't show a reaction to noticing the Kwa as he makes his way up to the seat of the throne. Ire turns around and sits, facing the trio before him, he catches of whiff of charred clothing and realizes he should have ordered the throne room cleaned. Ire looks down at Kommisar and is as pleased as he can be to know that he doesn't have to promote anyone to replace the Regent. "Regent, welcome back, I take it your trip to meet the Extolled ended badly seeing as a ship needed to be sent to rescue you."
"Indeed milord but the meeting never took place." Kommisar says with a bow of the head before looking up to the Emperor. "My ship was destroyed before reaching Zonama Sekot, we ran into something much worse a snag with the Extolled I am afraid to admit."
"Afraid? Do tell." Ire says with an air of interest in his voice; he can feel Kommisar's fear quite clearly when the Regent merely mentions the moon of the Undead, that was easy enough to sense.

Anakin smelled the throne room, it smelled as if some clothes were burned. Perhaps the Emperor was displeased with someone and used force electricty on the being. Anakin thought that was the possible scenario. Anakin waited for Kommisar to finish his report with the Emperor.

Takeda as he is ushered in stops when the other two do, and adds a respectful bow to the Emperor. He stands quietly until asked to speak.

"We encountered a Yuuzhan Vong warship in orbit above orbital body THX-1138, a gas giant with only one moon and the Cixelsyd II was destroyed, along with the Yuuzhan Vong vessel." Kommisar reports, he pauses expectingthe Emperor to have a question but when none comes, the Regent then continues. "Upon taking an escape pod to the surface of the Gas only moon, we encountered a two Jedi."
"That does sound horrible, Jedi like to talk too much, they must have bored you to death." Ire comments with a evil chuckle. Kommisar shakes his head and tells the Emperor about the unusual find on the moon's surface.
"I wish it was only that, milord." Kommisar comments, "On the moon, we encountered Yuuzhan Vong warriors, traditionalist types I believe, they were altered milord, they were... undead."
"How interesting." Ire's interest is peaked at the last word, he had heard of this very thing before, a secret from the days of Palpatine's Empire, the Emperor makes it sound as if he is only mildly interested. He does however turn his gaze to Takeda as he comments. He studied the Kwa and wonders how he is alive, the Kwa, much like Ire's 'people', were thought to be extinct. Ire wonders how this creature managed to find his way into this mess in the first place but in the process gives away that he knows what Takeda is. "And how did you manage to find your way to this orbital body, Kwa?"

Takeda looks toward but not directly at the Emperor, for all he knows it is just as rude to do so here as at "home". He bows slightly as he speaks,
"I had been out in the region transporting a scientist doing surveys and using the time to try and map a better hyperspace route in Unknown Space. We responded to a distress signal, it was outside of the legal distances required, but that far out, it was likely we were the closest potential help."
He returns to his not-quite-looking at Ire position after he finishes talking and straightens form the slight bow.

Ire gives an undertanding grunt and nod of his head as Takeda explains his reason for being involved. Kommisar, with the constant arrogance in his tone, is the first to point out that Takeda was discovered helping the fugitive Lotva Shai. "Then why were you helping the Yuuzhan Vong terrorist known at Lotva Shai?"
Ire hears the name of Lotva Shai and gives another interested look; this tale was already filled with enough surprises, the Yuuzhan Vong, undead Yuuzhan Vong, this Kwa helping a known terrorist, this story was just getting better by the second. "Be nice to our guest Kommisar, I doubt this being knows what a Yuuzhan Vong is let alone that he was aiding a terrorist."
His gaze then falls on the Grand Vizer and Ire is curious about the situation on the moon "Lord Skywalker, what did you discover when you arrived on this moon filled with the undead Yuuzhan Vong?"

Anakin hears the rest of Kommisar's report. When the Emperor addressed the subject on how Taekda got involved in this whole mess, Anakin was more than ready to hear the explanation. Apparently Taekda was part of the same group of Jedi that Anakin arrested. Anakin waited to see what Taekda would say to the Emperor about helping out Lotva. When Ire looked at Anakin and asked for his report, Anakin gave a slight bow. He took his datapad out.
"Milord I got the distress call from a secure Imperial channel. Which is where my part started in all this. Shortly after wards, I found out that a group of Jedi, wanted to play hero and help out. I arrested them, under the charges for interfering with a secure Imperial channel. Not to mention resisting arrest and refusing to comply with orders. After hearing that Kommisar was at the moon and had no means of escape, I took a shuttle along with some troops to go and help him out. Which is where I encountered the living dead. I managed to collect some samples of the zombies. They are at the lab being tested as we speak."
Anakin held out his datapad with more details on the report so that the Emperor could review it.

Takeda stands quietly after Ire corrects Kommisar, from what was said it did not seem needful to reply, the Emperor had apparently drawn his own conclusion on that matter. As Anakin continues his report, an important subject comes out, and he debates bringing it up but decides to by the time Anakin finishes speaking.
"Your Majesty, with respect, I must correct a measure of the Vizier's report. To my knowledge, these Jedi he speaks of did not interfere with the Imperial rescue beacons, that was my doing with reason.
To the other crimes of these Jedi he speaks of, I cannot comment, not having any knowledge of their presence there before this moment."
From Takeda's understanding as well as his own views, the Jedi have frequently interfered with things they did not fully understand themselves; but regardless he cannot bring himself to stand silent while another is accused of an act that was by his hand.

Looking at Takeda, Ire is impressed with the boldness that the Kwa possesses, the Emperor is surprised that the alien fessed up to being the one to tamper with the rescue beacons. "I must say, you have a way of thinking outside the proverbial box, it was probably the right choice to disable the beacons; there being undead Vong involved and all."
Ire then looks at the Grand Vizer and laughs, the Jedi he speaks of had already been taken captive by pirates. "And as your new Nightsister friend discovered, the Jedi are lucky; the ship you authorized her to commandeer was attacked -- by pirates nonetheless. The Jedi were captured by the slime, convenient I must say."

Anakin looked at Taekda and shook his head.
"Regardless, they aided you in your plans/orders.
Anakin turned his attention back to the Emperor. His eyes widened slightly when he heard what happened to the ship. It wasn't the blasted Jedi he cared for, it was Ywalme. He regained composure and looked at the Emperor.
"Milord, what of Lady Burz?"

Takeda looks over at the Vizier, his respectful expression disappearing very quickly as he does so,
"Interesting, then shall I put it upon you and hold you responsible for your failure to command your troops that had the misfortune to become infected for their attacks upon not only my person, but that of this man here and your own person?"
He turns to the Emperor, his features still marked by anger but not the body-language of his addressing an inferior, indeed his tone is markedly changed back to a respectful tone.
"Your Majesty, I could understand if this was a matter of guilt by association, but in the instance this man describes, your own Regent is a more likely suspect of dealing with the Jedi, since her was in their presence. It was only after encountering these men here was I aware of any Jedi on the planet, the only one I can confirm of such would be the Vizier himself, who force-choked his own troops for little in the way of reasonable provocation.
If I am to be held or punished for crimes against the Empire, fine; at least let them bear merit and truth, not ridiculous fabrications based on poor speculation of facts. I believe I have already demonstrated a personal integrity to admit the truth."
