Moff Degro Serro was talking to his fellow Moff, Veru Panaka, when the ranking member of the Council Of Moffs, Gith Seergah, strode up to them. The tall Seergah glanced with distaste at the uniform the shortest member of the Council wore. "Why are you wearing a Stormtrooper uniform?" He asked. "Why not? I was a Stormtrooper for ten years. Besides." The shaven headed man told him with a smile. "My wife says I look good in it." Seergah just shook his head. "Pellaeon has told us that the 2nd Fleet leaves in three hours. It'll takes three days to get to this wormhole. So in three days, this threat should be ended." "The threat from this Federation." Panaka cut in. "But don't forget that we still have nine hundred of these girls from the soldier class Project running around. And about one hundred fifty of them have had children. And that's on top of the two hundred eight children and two Soldiers that we have at that lab." "And let's not forget these Generals." Seergah added. "I'm sure you two have seen the holo of the attempt some slavers made to nidnap three of these girls. That little one caving in a Zolinite's skull was very impressive." "She certainly put her out of her misery." Panaka said with a laugh. "What a humanitarian." "Speaking of Humanitarian, what's the word on Folous?" The tall man asked. "The plague has killed about ten percent of the population. But Admiral Messet has the planet shut down tight." Serro answered. "And the cure?" "The doctor I hired on Coruscant has already developed the cure, and is passing it onto several smugglers to get it past the Republic's blockade of the Vannua Sector. With any luck, we can start administering the drug in two days." "Good." Seergah told them, clearly worried. "This is the forth plague to hit an Imperial world in the last year. The other three were weak ones. But this one is much worse. We all know the Republic would never use biological warfare against us." "Which leaves a third party out there." Panaka said, shaking his head. "But who?" "It could be anyone. The Empire has many enemies. Not all as nice as the Republic." Degro replied. At that moment, his comlink chime. going off to the side, he talked for a few minutes before ending the call. "That was my wife. Admilla said that we will have no trouble contacting this Joshua Kirk for a translation of that intercepted message. The Federation has told the Republic that they and the Klingon Empire are going to ask him to be their ambassador. At least, until they can send their own people. And that he will be meeting our representative also." "Well hopefully, that will not happen." Seergah said and walked away. When he was far enough away, Panaka grinned. "So is it true that his latest wife has left him, Degro?" "Yes. The fifth Mrs Seergah has left the planet, and is on her way to her families home on Corellia." "And he hasn't tried to stop her?" "Oh yes! He's sent out a couple of Interdictor class cruisers to try and intercept her." Serro now grinned back. "Only, he think's she's heading for his sector capitol of Burlin." "Did you have your people feed him false information?" "Damn right! The last Mrs Seergah was found floating on a beach here. I'm not going to allow him to kill yet another. Not on my world."
