The Royal Shuttle arrived without it's escorting starfighters or guards at the hotel landing pad, something recently constructed. The hotel had been made first in this district due to the need of visiting officials and ambassadors to be accommodated in luxury. It would tower amongst the city's landscapes and would no doubt become a name for the Titan Suites which boasted everything someone could ask for. One of the newly constructed Titan Suites was now being used by the Supreme Commander of the Galactic Empire. Jalua had heard of his arrival and was eager to meet him. Knocking on the door, Jalua waited for a response. None came, but she knocked again, more demanding this time. "No Visitors" replied a irritated sounding lieutenant. Reaching with the force, Jalua unlocked the door herself and began to walk into the room. The lieutenant seemed to be shocked at the door opening and already had his blaster aimed at her head. Brushing it out of the way, Jalua strolled into the entrance and observed her surroundings. With marble and gold everywhere, these suites would impress her, making her think of the room she would take power within. Sensing alerted minds, Jalua entered the room to her right and without surprise, noticed the Imperial Guards with the Supreme Commander. "Forgive me on walking in like this, but i heard you were staying here" Jalua announced to grab the Supreme Commander's attention.

Do not worry too much about it, I think my Lieutenant will forgive you? Wont you?
Sir, yes sir.
Good. I must say Jalua, this place has caught my eye, it is beautiful in almost every way, and might I say that I have been treated with exclusivity and honour. I must congratulate you and the hotel of course. Please, feel right at home.
John brushed to the right where we finished the transmission he had with his star destroyer. They needed to check if Daunting's men were no were near.

Dan's LAAT/i gently settled down on the landing pad on top of the hotel. Dan stood from the seat in the back, and disembarked from the transport, the turrents on the craft scanning back and forthy, ready to crush any threat. Dan had been told by the hotel staff that a suite had been prepared for him, a so called "Titan Suite," the best they had to offer. As Dan made his way inside, he noted the other shuttle on the pad, which was doubtless the Empress's. He made a mental note to eventually ask her what modifications she made, as it looked a little bigger then the standard craft.
He made his way inside to the suite, where a squad of 4 Reapers had come earlier to scope out the room. Alerted to his arrival, the door opened when he approached, without him needing to do anything. The two Reapers flanking the doors saluted as he went in. Two more were on the inside, both with heavy repeating blasters set up facing the door. They also saluted, then went back to their guard duty. Anyone wanting to get at Dan would have a very tough time. The four Reapers who had accompanied Dan inside had disappeared, two gone to cover the turbolift, and the other two to patrol the floor Dan's suite was on. Another pair that had been on the shuttle were gaurding the entrance on the roof.
(I like to keep my angles covered)

Jalua felt something in the force, and in the floor above them, a familiar face came to her senses. She dismissed the new arrival for the moment, but this connection to the force also allowed her to briefly read John's thoughts. "Don't worry, I have already notified the public that any attempt to disrupt the coronation and they will be dealt with by me personally". Smiling, Jalua knew she'd drove the message home that she didn't need to be specially protected at any point. "Being trained by the Jedi Order, my mind is capable of picking up thoughts. This was one of my best skills, and I've already found a handful of rats". She expressed the word with disgust, before continuing. "I have people in place to eliminate them if they make a wrong move, although their corruption may be useful to me. In truth, they all have to come to me, being the one with the true power, so i will be able to twist them into betraying the ones that act on threats. In fact, i think we would be able to combine our forces at some point to root out our foes and maybe turn the galaxy into our playground? I would like nothing better than to eliminate the galaxy and control half each, although i believe neither of us will have the manpower for any type of operations in the current climate. Which kind of brings me onto the situation with the Mandalorian Empire, currently i believe that my empire and theirs are in an unofficial state of war. They at the moment seem from my eyes to have taken a step back, is it worth including them into the galactic war at all? They could always stab us in the back and are in the perfect place to do so. Perhaps if both of us combined our forces in the next couple of months, we could strike them at the heart of their fleet and stop them from ever becoming a threat". This suggestion was a cruel one, asking an ally to back stab their original allies, but something which would no doubt serve the purposes of both factions.

That is a bold offer you are making Jalua. Remember the Mandalorians are already our allies, and good ones at that. Whether the fact that Mandalore has mysteriously disappeared affects this offer or not, I am sorry to say that things cannot change right now. I will give it a think, I give you that, but what you are saying is to kill one of ours.
John said his lasts words and then sat down, thinking things carefully, he was so concentrated that when a droid got near to offer him a beverage he did not even flinch. He was angry, but had nothing more to say. He would give it some thought after the coronation, these days were full of glory and pride, and he did not wish to change this.

"I see..." Jalua responded, not receiving the reaction she'd intended. This too made her think, how would things unravel in this galaxy of war? People's lives were being affected every day all over the galaxy because of people like her. Now it was about time to do something about it. "Well, let's have a drink and a friendly chat. We are friends, yes?" Jalua asked while gently lifting a glass from the tray beside them.

"Always," John lifted his cup, and gently touched Salanda's with it. "I am, however, concerned at backstabbing the Mandalorians. I am only beginning to consolidate the Galactic Empire Fleet once more, and the army is only just beginning to show true promise. Furthermore..." And at this John moved much closer to Jalua, and whispered in her ear, "I have made it my primary priority to recapture Coruscant from the filthy hands of the Republic." He looked at Jalua, "For this, it would be useful to use the Mandalorians to take care of the enormous firepower of the Republic."

Jalua smiled with those words, it seemed that her ally had several plans which must have required lots of careful thinking. "Well we shall assist you the moment anything arises, if you know what i mean". With that, the door opened quickly and twelve highly armoured soldiers stormed into the room. They were in formation and stood at attention to the Empress who was now sitting down. "I thought I'd lost them..." she muttered while standing up. "It seems that others require my presence, but if you need anything, be sure to send for me" She concluded, in a thank you to the Supreme Commander. With a twist of her heel, she was facing the Royal Guard and walked through the middle of her formation, with them likewise turning and following closely behind.
