"No" she said unexpectedly, "these would be perfect for the JRF. They are beginning to hunt down the Sith and these would be well suited (OOC: No pun intended) for them. Besides, my Royal Guard are seen all over the place, people would get suspicious". With the new suits and the secrecy linked with the JRF, it would be more practical for them to use the suits against the Sith rather than just for ceremonial or escorting missions. Plus with a suit of her own, Jalua had a valid reason to force herself onto the JRF team during their missions.

"As you wish milady. Now...you spoke of taking a journey." Caedus looked at the empress expectantly.

"Of course" Jalua said with a smile, "Let's head off tomorrow, I'll get everything packed and sorted, you two shouldn't have a problem but I will have to wear some sort of disguise. I'll get something" she added thoughtfully, she knew that FireKnight would no doubt have something she could accidentally misplace on her next visit. With that, she bowed her heads forwards to Caedus and walked back to what she still thought of as 'Quarters'. She had always spent time on ships or military bases, so even with almost a year of being an Empress under her belt, she still felt odd sleeping on a planet, she didn't like the gravity on this planet anyway, it was too heavy. Walking through the doorway, she began to take off her armour and placed it where her ceremonial suit had originally been. With the helmet placed at the top, it still needed a colour change but she was pleased with the suit itself, she would even take it on her trip to Zeltros. She then took a brief glance at the door and then entered her bunker, climbing down the ladder and across towards KnightFire One.

Jalua was up early the next morning, the sun hadn't rose and she had already got her stuff packed. Her old robes were bungled in with the usual travel accessories, although there was something else she had decided to bring along. She was wearing her new suit and a re-made helmet which had been programmed to run in perfect synchronization with the rest of the armour and it's features. With the silver and light blue armour equipped, she walked out of the room with a blaster on her hip, a lightsaber which just happened to be the same colour silver as the suit and blended in nicely, a strap of ammunition and a travel case. The case however, was extremely heavy after she had put everything she "needed" inside. She carried it no problem, with a bit of help from the force.
Jalua made her way across to the landing pad of the Royal Palace which slowly began to move out of the main building and outside, allowing the shuttle easy access to the skies. Jalua walked down the landing platform and saw Caedus and Dan talking there, but also unfortunately, a number of people in casual clothing. She knew who they were, they were members of a special forces team on rotation to protect the Empress wherever she went. She had tried to keep it secret from them but it looked like they knew something was happening and had decided to tag along with Dan or Caedus to lead them to her. Throwing her travel case, which was more like a rucksack into the back of the shuttle, she turned to the others who were looking at her. "I do *breath* like-" she began to say and then heard the audio encryption instead of her own voice, she had been playing around with it and obviously left it on her darth vader setting. Turning it off from within the helmet, she then began again. "I do like this suit, got my helmet working perfectly with it, well perfect if i don't leave a load of settings on". She then looked at another face who she saw surprisingly, it looked like the rotation hadn't exactly been the plan. "Lauren, what a surprise" she said to her sister, who seemed to be chatting with some of the special forces team. Seeing her a smiling, she walked over to the Empress and saluted. "None of that" Jalua said, knowing she was doing it on purpose. She still didn't like the idea of people saluting to her, it was something she had never gotten used to and didn't intend to. "I take it you got my invitation" Jalua asked with a bit of a glare, "Of course not, I thought it was about time we took some time with you anyway though" Lauren responded her a laugh, still irritating her older sister. "Yes well, try not to get hurt, I don't want to have to be protecting you" Jalua responded with a shake of her head. Deciding to get away from her sister's irritating mood, she headed to Dan and Caedus for a bit of sanity. "You two ready to go? The sooner we get there the sooner i can lose the stalkers".

Dan, who was still bent over laughing from the Darth Vader voice thing, straightened. "Yep." he said. "My stuff's inside. But unfortunatly, I won't be able to try out the new armor on this trip, so I just have this." He indicated the AVALON armor he was wearing. "Also have the a new prototype rifle and AVALON armor inside the shuttle that I'm going to test if I get the chance while on the trip." He then looked at Lauren. "So she's coming along?"

"Apparently so" she said with a audible sigh. "Anyway, let's get moving, the sun's are rising" she said, walking up the side ramp of the shuttle and taking a seat. It was an old yacht which had been turned into a interplanetary shuttle by a small firm based near Zeltros. With the dark sky covering them, it was unlikely that anyone would realise that Jalua was leaving the planet with so much new body armour on.

Caedus moved up the loading ramp quietly. He adorned his armor as well, though it was completely hidden under his emerald green cloak. He did not like the idea of a vacation when the coalition borders were being threatened, however, she had been under quite a bit of stress lately. Perhaps she did deserve some time away. Caedus finally decided that it didnt matter. It was his job to protect her, not to ask questions.

OOC: Assume I'm on board. No time to make a full post.

The shuttle gently rose from the platform and with it's repulsors moving it swiftly forwards, the engines took over and propelled the transport at great speed towards the edge of the atmosphere. It would not take long to reach Zeltros, by the night time they should arrive.
