Adventures on Naboo
The flight to Naboo was uneventful, and they were easily granted a landing space at the Theed Spaceport.
"I'll arrange getting the ship repaired," Dane said to Master Tabret, "if you want to get these two," he poked his thumb at Jubali and Traest, "some medical attention."
"Sounds good," Sonora answered. "We can meet back up at the entrance to the Royal Palace in a few hours."
Ranger Cardosa nodded in agreement.
Jubali admired the beautiful buildings as they traveled but knew she'd have to wait until later to get a better look.
When arriving at the hospital, they were cordially greeted and then sent to triage. "Now that you're safely here, I'm going to go arrange our meeting with the Joint Council," Master Tabret informed Jubali. "I will be back soon."
True to her word, by the time Jubali and Traest were moved from triage to treatment rooms, Master Tabret returned. "I'm afraid the Council will not be able to grant us audience for two days. It's probably just as well though, from what I've learned from the physician, it may take that long to get you back to your best. And for Traest, it definitely will."
Soon Ranger Cardosa arrived. "I got the Eclipse all set up for repairs. It will be a several hours, but it sounds like we'll be here at least that long."
Jubali tried not to show her relief at being able to rest for two days in a comfortable hospital.
All too soon it was time to meet with the Naboo Joint Council. The four heroes arrived and were introduced to each member of the Council before the meeting began. After introductions, Queen Amidala, ruler of the Naboo, spoke. "Honored Jedi, distinguished Rangers, tell us, why have you come?"
"In truth, we have come seeking your help," Master Tabret began. "Some information has come into our possession that we are unable to analyze because it is written in Gunganese. We were hoping members of this body could interpret it for us." The Joint Council members seemed to appreciate being appealed to for help rather than having answers demanded of them.
"Meesa certian we could," Boss Nass, leader of the Gungans spoke up. "But meesa must be askin', wherun did you be gettin' dis information?"
"A valid question, Boss," Ranger Cardosa responded. "It was retrieved by Republic Intelligence during an undercover operation."
"Be wary, though," Jubali warned. "The person behind this seeks to sow chaos and discord. What's written here could very well be lies designed to push apart the Gungans and the Humans." Most of the members of the Council appeared to believe Jubali's statement.
"We'lla be the judge of that," a dignified grey Gungan, whom Jubali remembered being introduced as Minister Rish Loo, replied. The Naboo's Assistant Minister of Internal Affairs, Ruto Graven seemed to nod his head in agreement with the Gungan, but everyone else on the Council seemed taken in by Jubali's statement.
"Meesa would be happy to translate thissa text," Representative Lyonie, a reddish, brown Gungan spoke up. He took the datapad containing the file from Ranger Cardosa and looked over it carefully. "Itsa says 'Naboo Operations: Mantaris, Clodhopper'."
"Aha!" Assistant Minister Graven said. "You see now Your Majesty how the Gungans plot against us. Planning to sabotage our new vessel and our native wildlife."
"Thatsa shows what you know," Minister Rish Loo broke in. "Thissa word," he said, pointing to the datapad, "is Gunganese for the people of Naboo, not the planet. Clearly, Boss Nass, this issa plot by the Naboo to discredit the Gungans."
OOC: Does Jubali have anything to say before the rest of the Council reacts.
