Star Wars: Transformers

Second War of Cybertron: War in Capitol

The Republic home world was in a mass panic when they heard the message from the Decepticons. Many people began to panic or riot at the news of their home being attacked by the invaders. The rioters concentrated at the Senate building, shouting, and chanting for the Senate to surrender the Autobots to keep themselves safe.

Chancellor Palpatine began evacuations into the deepest shelters within the planet. A majority of the people went; those who refused, continued their rioting around the Senate building, demanding that the Autobots be turned over to the Decepticons, not knowing the full story yet, or didn't care.

Oran F Tarr: The people demand that we surrender the Autobots in order to ensure their safety. I say we let them.

Oran Free Tarr, the fat Twi'lek, spoke to the senate, in favor of having Coruscant spared from the threat of being attacked by more advanced and destructive weapons than anything produced by any being in the Galaxy.

Christo: Indeed, why should lives be lost for giant soulless droids?

The Quarren senator, Christo, says, uncaringly about the Autobots.

Several growls were heard as Yarua, the Wookie senator from Kashyyk, gave his own speech about the situation.

Lott Dod: This is something of a surprise to see you standing up for the droids, Senator Yarua. Or did you forget how you tore off the arm of an interpreter droid during your negotiations with the Trandoshans?

Lott Dod says surprised at first but turned into a sneer.

Deechi: Yes, how do we know that this isn't a Separatist plot?

Yarua snarled at the two before making his case quite clear in his language about the Autobots, how after listening to their story, he felt their sadness compared to the cold emptiness he usually felt in droids around him or in any Republic world.

He was able to tell how much the Autobots held honor and loyalty to their cause during the war that took away the Cybertronians' home planet from both factions.

Yarua finished his speech by saying that if they would not stand by the beings who went through the proper, civil means of speaking to the Senate and the honesty of their answers to the questions some Senators had, then they would be no different than the enemy that they are trying to defeat.

S.Palpatine: Excellently put, Senator Yarua.

Even though this was the first time the old Wookie spoke much about something that did not relate to any reformation movements that the imposing Wookie Senator usually occupied himself with, instead of dealing with his usual activities.

The elderly Palpatine turned to the Senate and voiced himself out to them.

S.Palpatine We've received reports from Admiral Yularen that though there have been some unproven fears and doubt of their intentions, the Autobot soldiers were quick to aid our outnumbered forces from being wiped out by the droid army.

Then Bail Organa came forward.

B.Organa: and If they were willing to risk exposing themselves to the enemy in order to secure the lives of our brave troops on the front lines, then does that not allow us to give them the benefit of the doubt. Even now, I received a report that the Autobots are getting all available Energon to their ship in order to take off, so that our city wouldn't be involved in this dispute between them and the enemy faction.

He reminded everyone. His words caused many to deeply consider this while others began talking or shaking their heads in contempt.

(Meanwhile)

Anakin and Obi-wan were busy preparing the troops for battle, in case the Decepticons did not keep their word about leaving Coruscant after securing the Autobots and their ship.
