Jedi Council Meeting 416: Negotiations

[Lucien Draay]

With the strike team headed to Kessel they can now put all of the attention to Roth with a proposal that he cant refuse, he just cant it will mean either Exile or a seat on the Council just if he able to tell this Council exactly everything that Trenton Vinh is planning as he has become a very large threat a thorn as it were in the Jedi Order,as Lucien turns to Evgani Issus and the others they notice Roth heading into the council room the doors locking from behind him he looks at Roth who is a Master and then looks to Evgani and Dagon
"Welcome back Roth, now with you here we have to negotiate you telling us exactly what Master Vinh has planned. In doing so we will vote of having you on this Jedi Council filling the last seat.
"You are the closest then any of us we want to know everything about what Trenton is planning, We wish to ask you some questions about your actions as well as his"
Lucien leans back in his chair patiently waiting for Roth to speak and hopefully he makes up his mind to the right choice to take a seat on this Jedi Council instead of being Exiled with Trenton Vinh as leans more and more into his chair and then places his hands on the sides of his arm rests he then leans over and looks at Evgani "do you have anything to add from what i have just said to Roth here"

[Damion Scott]

The patch came through...Damion scotts figure buzzed up in the council chambers..The master and newly appointed councilor came into reception just intime for Lucien to make his statement..He would clear his throat. He would speak softly... "Roth...Though you and I may not be familiar with eachother... And I will not make a promise to you I can not keep... But this information is crucial.." He frowned towards Lucien however... What was the deal here? since when did the council make deals for the seats upon said council... "Roth... Do you know your own actions? Your own intents? I do not ask in order to offend you..I merely wish to see where your state of mind is. I will agree with master Draay..This information is crucial... As is all information... The knowledge you can give us..On yourself and on Trenton Vihn will tell me where your mind is..." He smiled softly. He would do as the council willed him..Nay...As the Force willed him. But he would also do what needed done... He would still look between each person in the chambers...Even as he sat in a republic ship clear across the galaxy using a comm unit to patch himself to the council.

[Lucien Draay]

His speach to Roth was interupted by the hologram image of Damion scott that appears in the empty seat that is to his right he looks over at Dagon and to the others who are in the chamber room he leans in his chair and then places his hands in each of his cloak sleeves he is quite disturbed by what is happening this was suposed to be a private meeting not on the records and yet Damion Scott joins the meeting and he listens he hears what Damion has to say and it is true on some fact of what the Master tells young Roth Fenix about what his mind is and all as Damion stops talking he looks over to the other masters who then dont say anything he looks back up at Roth who is standing in the middle of the room not saying a word he wonders if he is gettin all that they themselves of the Jedi Council are asking of him "we want everything that you and Master Vinh have been up to since the time you were last in here we believe that your friend Trenton is a very deep threat and from what you told us the last time you were in here it is a reason to be suspisious of your both actions" "and no is not an answer if you do not give us the information a seat is not on the table you will be tried with Trenton and it may come to the point of being expelled from this order and then Galactically Exiled,and i doubt you want that Roth your life would be meaningless if that happened" Lucien stands up from his chair and looks at Roth who is simply standing in the middle of the floor he walks all around him then stands to his back and looks to the other members of the then he turns around and speak indirectly to Roth "so my question is will you help us.... will you help the Jedi Council and have this last seat on the Council"

[Trenton Vinh]

Aundria Fenix glared at Lucien Draay and said coldly, "What he means, is that you, Roth, have a chance very few could ever receive."

She continued, "You can clear the slate right here, right now. Tell us all the wrongs you and Master Vinh have committed, and we can help you. If you continue along this path of a rogue Jedi, you will not be able to come back to this Temple. You will be in danger of being tried by the Galactic High Courts."

She paused and looked to her husband, Dagon Fenix, who nodded darkly for her to go on, "Please, my son. I beg you. Let us help you. And we can offer you the rights a true Jedi like yourself has earned. The Council needs its final members, and you have the chance to be that final Master."

She was, of course, bribing him. But he wouldn't see it like that. As an ambitious Jedi, Roth would hopefully realize what he had to gain here.
Hopefully...

((OOC: This thread will remain closed until Roth's character gets the chance to reply. It will only be a few days, if you wish to have your characters do something else, feel free. He will post here when he gets back. Thank you for your patience.))

[Roth Fenix]

Deception, Treachery, Betrayal

Roth stood in the middle of the Council Chambers with his head down listening to the Jedi Council rambling on with questions about himself and Trenton and pondering over the Jedi's sudden determination to gather information from the Rogue Jedi.

The line between dark and light at last begins to wear thin.

Roth looked up as his mother finished speaking, his eyes dark with irritation. He looked around the room and let his gaze settle on the final vacant council chair, "You call me rogue, you say my actions are questionable, and you threaten me with exile if I do not comply with your demands." Roth turned his head towards Lucien, "I never thought the Jedi would lower themselves so much as to bribe someone for their own personal gain."

Aundria's expression remained calm and resolute saying, "It's not like that Roth. We want to help you correct the past wrongs you and Trenton have committed and give you the final council seat that you have come so close to earning."

Roth's face twisted into anger, "Wrongs?" his voice echoed with power off the chamber walls, "Wrongs that have saved the galaxy? Wrongs that have prevented the spread of evil? Are these what the Council perceives as wrong simply because it is not the Jedi way?" Roth looked over at his father, "I've more than earned the rights of a true Jedi time and time again, but now finally you see an opportunity to rise to glory by turning Roth Fenix and Trenton Vinh into followers of the Jedi Code by offering me the most coveted position in the Jedi Order?" Roth turned back to Lucien, "No, Master Draay, I will not help you, not after what has transpired today."

Murmurs rose from around the room as the Masters began talking amongst themselves about what had happened. Roth looked back to his mother, deep in conversation with Master Evgeni Issus. His father had his head in his hands, deep in thought about what to do now that his son had refused what the Council had considered an irrefutable offer.

Master Kovalev looked up at Roth and spoke, "What you say, Roth, causes us to believe that you are shifting ever closer to the Dark Side as well as Trenton."

Roth shook his head in disgust, "There is no dark side or light side, there is only the Force. I must keep the balance, the balance is what holds not just only me, but the entire galaxy together. You say there is no emotion or chaos, but there is passion, yet peace. Serenity, yet emotion. Chaos, yet order. I am the protector of the balance, a hero of the galaxy, not some simple-minded fool who is willing to comply to the demands of a group of overzealous Jedi Masters."

Dagon and Aundria looked shocked, Master Kovalev leaned back in his seat bringing his hands together in thought, San Xaan eyed Roth with both sorrow and interest and spoke, "You are coming closer to being exiled from the Order, Roth. You should choose your next words carefully Roth or the consequences will be dire."

Roth spoke to the Kel Dor, "Even though I knew that the the Council was fallible and Jedi training methods far from perfect, I remained with the Jedi Order after the Galactic Civil War. Why? Because I still believed that I could accomplish some good as a Jedi. I thought I could bring about some positive changes, right certain wrongs, and do better than maintain the status quo. In short, I was an utter fool."

Roth looked around the room then spoke to San again, "You will not exile me Master Xaan, I am leaving the Jedi Order, something I should have done a long time ago."

The Council was stunned silent. Roth turned and began to walk out of the room when San Xaan spoke again, "I've seen your ambition, and I know how ruthless it is. And that will ultimately destroy you."

Roth stopped and replied back to San, "The only ones who are in danger of my ambition are my enemies, Master Xaan."

Roth walked out of the Council Chambers not looking back, his black robe trailing behind him. He could feel the shock and surprise of the entire Jedi Council as he took the step out of the Council Chamber.

[Lucien Draay]

Lucien is appalled about the fact of what Roth has just said to them allhe stands up quickly fromhis chair and looks to every single master including the boys parents and then to Saan he then turns his head and notices Roth has left he turns back to the members of the Jedi Council "i cant believe hw ould simply walk away from us i sense a plot to destroy us the darkside of the force somewhat is around your Son Dagon, he doesnt want to help us to findout what trenton is up to and now matters are worse" "Dagon track down your son if he quits this order he is as far as i am concerned expelled from this order and Exiled from this side of the galaxy" Lucien then looks to all the other master of the Jedi Council and places his hands within each of his cloak sleeves then turns back to the door "if that is all we should deliberate this matter with master Sumner when he returns from Kessel" with that he sits back down into his chair and relaxs and waits for the last word from the other masters.

[Roth Fenix]

Aundria shook her head, eyes filled with sorrow, "no Master Draay, my son has not fallen to the Dark Side, I, as well as my husband, would have known and if he had wanted us dead, we wouldn't be speaking now."

Dagon nodded then turned to Lucien, "Tracking him down would be impossible, he hides himself in the Force as if he was never born and we have no indication of his next destination. Roth may be ambitious, but he's not evil, exiling him from the Order won't do any good since he has left and as for from the entire galaxy," Dagon snorted, "good luck with that, the Senate has promised not to be involved with Jedi business." Dagon sighed, "we made a wrong move bribing him with a seat on the Council, a mistake we should all learn from. I suggest that we wait and see what Roth does, only then can we make a proper judgement."

Master Evgeni Issus scoffed, "your son is more dangerous than any other man in the galaxy at this moment, if we wait who knows what type of crimes he can commit?" He turned to San, "I suggest we take immediate action on Roth, send in Jedi to apprehend him and bring him back to Coruscant for trial."

San sighed, "the boy is filled with ambition, but I felt no plot for revenge or destruction as the Jedi." San stroked his chin, "I suggest we wait for Master Sumner to return before we make a decision on what to do next, the combined wisdom of the Council can come up with the best new course of action for Roth."

The masters around the room nodded and San shouted over the voices, "Council Adjourned."

The Masters got up and began filing out of the room. San looked back at Lucien and nodded at the Jedi master then walked out of the Council Chambers to go to the meditation area for some much needed thought.
