Fall of the New Republic

Stressful Evening

June was sitting in Chancellor Villecham's office, trying (for the millionth time) to convince him to take action against the First Order.

"Chancellor, I don't get. Your job is to ensure security for the Republic and the planets that conform it, why don't you do anything against the First Order?" she asked.

"That's a Resistance's issue, isn't it?" he said calmly. "As leader of the Senate and therefore the Republic, I focus on politics and economy, not armed forces."

"As leader of the Republic, you should focus on a proper leadership, which includes the defense of your people, maybe if you gave the Resistance more support..."

"The Resistance gets enough military support from the Republic, I don't know how else can we help them." He replied. By now, June was starting to get mad. "Enough support?" she asked softly. "The only thing you give the resistance is a fleet of ships that can be destroyed, what you should do is recruit more soldiers and show interest for what the First Order may be capable of doing."

"But what could they be capable of? They haven't violated the Galactic Concordance and the probabilities of that happening are low." June sighed frustrated. "Please Chancellor, I implore you to open your eyes before it's too late."

Chancellor Villecham reclined his back against his chair and looked at her in a sympathetic way. "Senator Waller, it's been a long day, I can see your tired. Go home and get some rest, I assure I'll see what I can do about it, but please relax, you're gonna lose your hair out of anger, and you're too young to lose your hair."

"Thanks for the compliment." Replied June. "I hope you do something. Good evening." And with that said, she stood up and exited the office, rubbing her temples and thinking of the stressful day she had.

As she was walking through the hallways of the senatorial complex a peculiar voice distracted her from her thoughts "Well, hello there June." Her expression quickly morphed into an angry frown. "Why me Anysun?" she muttered to herself before she turned around to see Senator Yildun Phoenix of Onderon, the most ignorant, rude and childish member of the senate, who called everyone by their first name as if they were inferior and known for being sexist and xenophobic. June wondered how could that man carry Lux Bonteri's legacy in the senate.

"What's wrong honey, do you feel bad?" he asked mockingly. "Listen "honey", I don't have time for you, so get out of my sight and go do something useful." She replied angrily and turned around to go. Yildun smirked. "Oh I'm gonna do something useful yes." He said in a soft, mysterious tone. "I'm gonna help you lose your stress dear, and It'll be a very nice experience for both of us." He said as he slowly started to caress her shoulders and her back.

June felt her face heat up in anger and suddenly released herself from his grasp, kicked him hard in the groin and then brutally punched him in the neck, just were his adam's apple was. He fell to floor in pain, one hand on his groin and the other on his neck.

June bent down so she could see him better. "What was that?" she asked mockingly, even putting her hand on her ear to emphasize. "Did you say something? No? Okay, see you later." She said softly and then stood up and walked out of the building and into her speeder.
