Master jedi, I came to speak to you about Master Rister.
Rhia stood in the center of a circle of Jedi Masters. She had never liked this particular room. It was bare of anything decorative, and when you stood in the center you felt as if you were being probed, as if you had nothing on. She shifted her wieght uncomfortably and continued.
I have reason to believe that he may be innocent of what he was charged of.
She swallowed as she watched each master look over at each other.
Senator Kateera, he was caught in a battle with one of his fellow jedi. He left three padawans seriously injured that day.
Yes, another master from the other side of the room said, We should have never let him go to Reytha with them.
But you see masters, I have reason to believe that he was not on Reytha at all. I believe he was on Mustafar.
That cannot be true senator. He was spotted by one of our fellow masters.
And it is on our file.
Rhia bowed her head. How was she going to explain why she had a copy of a Masters record, and most importantly, why he had told her where he was going.
Maybe someone tampered with your records then Master. I believe he was on Mustafar. I do not think he should be sentenced to death if there is any doubt of what happened.
All the jedi started to shift uncomfortably. Rhia knew she was on to something. It was finally time to do what she came here for...
Or is this not for the record? Rhia's voice was bolder than she really felt inside, I think someone in this room is hiding something. You knew all along that he was not on Reytha! You knew that he didn't commit any crime. He was just challenging to authority of the council in front of a senator. One that you knew would do something about it. Well guess what, I will.
That is enough Senator Kateera!
One of the Jedi masters stood up, looking her right in the eye.
How dare you come and speak like that in front of us!
I just have a reason to believe....
Ok what if I told you you were right? How would you prove it to the senate and stop them from sentencing him to death?
I have my ways Master. Rhia spoke calmly, trying not to portray any of the rushing emotions that were swirling around in side her. She had been right!
No! There is no way senator. Tomorrow an innocent man will be sentenced to death!
Rhia was shoved out of the council room into the hallway outside. The door slammed shut behind her.
I have what I need. She thought to herself as she turned of the recorder she had hidden under her clothes.
