Leaving the planet

You free the ysalamiri and take it with you, after all, Ranvi would kill you, if you have just let it die there! You carry Xiana to the submarine where you meet Ranvi and Drek and leave the facility. Ranvi was most proud of your action to bring the little fellow along! She will take a separate journey later to bring him back to his home world, Myrkr.

When the authorities arrive, they find the Separatist facility and declare that they have violated the neutrality of Manaan. They restart the kolto shipments to the Republic and as a sign of good faith, they offer it for a lower price, while not wanting any payment for the previous amounts, that had been raided by the Separatists.{if Rancor = true} The kolto is flowing again, finally, you may return and have your wounds fully healed!{endif}

On the ship, you fill Drek and Ranvi on the news. When you check on Xiana. After the departure, she is already conscious again. You have already secured her legs and arms in tight handcuffs to avoid any unwanted trouble.

Xiana: You have no idea who G really is, or what he had done in the past... You are making a mistake by trusting him... He will betray you like he betrayed me...

Lana: He didn't betray you, you were the one who left him and the Republic!

Xiana: I didn't leave him...! He was willingly defecting with me to the Separatists! But he stabbed me in the back and acted as a double agent! Who knows who is he working for at the moment...

You close the door back on her and think on her words...

Lana (thinking): If what she says is true... Or does she try to deceive me...? I must be on my guard, no matter what happens...

Yet, nothing happens on your journey. You land on Coruscant uninterrupted. When you land, you are welcomed by a group of clone commandos, led by Captain Gregor.

Gregor: Welcome back! I hope your journey was a safe one!

Agent G (suspiciously): Why are there clone commandos waiting for our arrival...?

Gregor: We were sent here to take the prisoner to the Republic prison.

Agent G: There is no need for such an escort, we could take her there ourselves!

Gregor: I am sorry sir, it the order came from high command, directly from the chancellor.

Agent G: The chancellor...? Why is he involved in this...?

Captain Gregor is the leader of a clone commando unit, the best trained special forces of the Republic.

Gregor: The prisoner sir...! We have orders to take her from you and we were permitted to use **** to do so. Please, do not resist.

Agent G: We won't... Take her... And make sure she stays for a long time where she goes!

Gregor: We will do our part sir! Good day!

Xiana: Goodbye G, until we meet again! This wasn't the last time you have heard of me!

Agent G: I wish it was...

You hand Xiana over to the clone commandos and they take her to an armoured transport. During her transport, the pilot receives new orders.

Pilot: Changing course to the Senate building.

Copilot: Roger that.

Gregor: Senate building...? What are you talking about? We are carrying a dangerous traitor on board!

Pilot: The orders came from the chancellor, he wants to speak to her before her interrogation.

Gregor: That's most... extraordinary...

Xiana: So, I am taken directly to the big guy, huh? You all better watch me closely, I might kill him if you don't!

Gregor: Don't test our patience woman, or you might just secure a more unwelcome stay in the prison block!

She is taken to the chancellor's office. The republican guards take her from the commandos and send them back to their posts. They lead Xiana inside.

Palpatine: Leave us.

Guards: By your command, sir.

Only Palpatine and Xiana remain in the room. Palpatine unbinds her, after which she kneels in front of him.

Palpatine: Was the experiment successful?

Xiana: Yes my lord, everything went exactly according to plan. Just as you have foretold...

Palpatine: Good... Did your friend, act accordingly?

Xiana: Yes my lord, Agent G did everything completely as I had expected him to do. As promised, I guaranteed the success of the mission by his unknowing contribution. His psychological profile has been studied for years, he cannot change it, no matter what.

Palpatine, the chancellor, and thus, sole leader of the Galactic Republic.

Palpatine: Excellent, I knew you wouldn't disappoint. So the ysalamiri are our best weapon against the Jedi, should it come to a direct confrontation... Your hardships to gather this intelligence, will be well compensated, as it has been agreed.

Xiana: I am most grateful my lord, please, allow me to remain in your service. I may provide you with further assistance in the future!

Palpatine: Fear not my child, your future services are counted upon. As for now, leave the planet unnoticed. A ship is waiting for you at these coordinates, it will take you to Mustafar.

Xiana: By your command, my lord! If I may ask... May I get a new uniform...? Travelling like this would attract... too much attention...!

Palpatine: No, obtaining one would cause suspicion, you must travel in your current state.

Xiana: But... okay... As you say, my lord...

She leaves immediately, not bargaining and further for new Republican clothes. She has a hard time escaping without being found, but ultimately she manages to get to the ship unnoticed. All records of her capture are razed, to eliminate all evidence of her ever being at the chancellor's office, or even Coruscant. Meanwhile, Gregor grows ever more suspicious of the sudden relocation of Xiana... He goes to investigate the whereabouts of the woman, only to find nothing about her at all... Not in the prison, not at the senate security records, nothing!

Gregor (thinking): Hmm... Something is veerry odd around here... This just doesn't make any sense... I'll get to the bottom of this, once I have the time... Oh, somebody is sending me a transmission.

Obi-Wan (through the transmission): Hello there, Gregor!

Gregor: General Kenobi!

Obi-Wan: The Republic is attacking a separatist base as Sarrish, the battle is going to be a grand one and we need the best troopers there at once. Could you join in on the ****?

Gregor: Yes sir, of course sir! I would never miss a good fight!

Obi-Wan: Thank you Gregor, I'll be waiting for you at the meeting point, coordinates sent. Obi-Wan out.

Gregor (to himself): Eh, it seems this case must wait, I am needed elsewhere... But I'll be back and find what this is about.

(Future spoiler: Gregor joins the battle but gets injured and suffers from amnesia. Later, he escapes the battle and crashes onto a planet, called Abafar, until he is found and recognised by D squad. They help him regain his memories, after which, he later returns to the Republic, but never remembers the case of Xiana.)

{if Rancor = true}With the kolto flowing again, you return to Stass Allie to finish your recovery. She prepares a kolto tank for you. You reluctantly strip naked, put on a breathing mask and get into the tank. It's a slimy content, but it gives you comfort being inside. She uses her **** healing powers to speed up your recovery. In hours, your previous wounds are no more and everything has been restored as if none had happened. You get out of the tank and thank her for the help she provided you with. {endif}

With Manaan left behind you, you are ready for a new mission!
