Chapter 24 --The big break | So while we have the chance--

The senate hall was going wild with Riyo Chuchi's accusations towards Admiral Rampart. You were waiting at the doorway where her pod had been, and were looking about as different Senators stood and yelled incoherently into the hall. You had felt a shift, and disturbance like a small tremor passing through the force. You brought your focus back to Riyo, making sure that this disturbance would not put her in danger.

Rampart continued where he left off, intending to move on from these statements, "If there are no further issues, let us proceed with this vote."

A voice speaks out across the senate "I motion that Senator Chuchi be removed from these proceedings, and she be censured for her misconduct."

Another Senator's voice joins in " I second the motion."

The uproar continues to grow and you realize that the Vice chancellor is no longer on the elevated platform. --When did he?-- you think to yourself, --Riyo is being hung out to dry without his interference--.

Another voice, this one calm, collected and familiar, speaks out "Senators, new evidence has come to light which must be considered." Senator Organa is floating his pod out to meet with Riyos and you can see Omega resting in the doorway where he had just been. --The evidence! Tech did it! -- you realize as Organa handed the datacase over to Riyo.

"What so-called proof do you have?" came the scratchy voice of the Senator who had called for Riyo to be removed. Senator Organa floated his pod back from Riyo, and she turned, holding up the datacase. "The recovered command log from Admiral Rampart's Venator. Which indicates his own ships caused the destruction of Tipoca City."

You saw her punch in a chip and a huge holographic display appeared inside the hall. In vivid detail you could clearly see Tipoca City, the rain pouring down, the fires littered across its buildings and the Venator along with other starships firing down on the facility. The senate room fell silent and you could hear the sound of rainfall, ship blasters and sirens echo throughout the hall.

You could hardly look away from the sight, it reminded you so much of your own home's destruction. You peel your eyes away to check on Omega who you can just make out crouched in Senator Organa's doorway. Her eyes are fixed on the display before her and you can see the pain in her eyes. You wish that you were up there to hold her right now.

The entire situation is disrupted by a horn blaring twice and the display disappearing. The floor opened again and the platform was mechanically lifted upwards, this time with two people on it. The vice chancellor Mas Amedda was present as well as a hooded figure next to him, who gave off the same aura as death. You felt yourself become slightly nauseous and sick but you held yourself together. Admiral Rampart stands at attention, and the other Senators are looking concerned.

"It would appear that Senator Chuchi's horrific assertions are correct" Mas Amedda states, filling the room with gasps and remarks. This was what Riyo had wanted, but you felt a sense of foreboding in the back of your mind.

"This unprovoked attack on Kamino was a cowardly act by Admiral Rampart to further his own personal agenda" the Vice Chancellor continued, with Senators beginning to jeer and shout. "Guards, arrest and detain the Admiral."

A pod filled with three clone troopers, each with red markings on their armor came up behind Rampart and took him into custody. The Admiral did not fight them, but was yelling something at them as they turned him around, pushed him down on the pod console and putting on handcuffs.

"Order! We shall have order!" you heard Mas Amedda say, hitting the base of his long staff on the platform's floor. The crowds were still jeering and yelling, but they immediately died down when the cloaked man stood. His voice was deep and aged but laced with a charismatic poison "I am deeply troubled by this recent revelation. My gratitude to Senator Chuchi for exposing a rogue element within our ranks. Many lives have been lost, but I assure you Admiral Rampart shall face the consequences for his treachery."
