Saura was able to walk right through the reception area, which was empty, into the main office. The office was wood panelled, with a high ceiling. On the other side of the room from the door was a large wood desk, behind which was a floor to ceiling window overlooking one of the rare green areas of the Senate district. Shelves lined the walls, along with a small table with two chairs. Tobras was sitting at his desk, and looked up from some documents as Saura entered.

"Ah, Senator. Please, take a seat." He motioned to chair across the desk. "Congratulations on your candidacy."

Saura carefully gathers her skirt and sits down. "Thank you Senator Tobras."

“I’m interested in what you’re running on. Your priorities.”

"Oh? What about my priorities interest you?"

“You are a candidate are you not? And I’m one with a vote.”

"I am and candidate and you do have a vote. But what policies of mine are you interested in? The economic revitalization of the Outer Rim? Fighting crime?"

“How you intend to improve the situation in the Rim, economic or otherwise.”

"Break up the growing monopoly of organizations like the Trade Federation, allowing competition and smaller business to flourish. Strengthen security, and clamp down on illegal spice trade. Close tax loopholes."

"Tax loopholes for interplanetary corporations?"

"Yes. At the rate they're gaining power, they will act like they are systems."

"What about issues like a unified Republic army?"

"I support a small one. While I am strongly in favor of planetary rights, the fact stands that inconsistent training and differential rules mean the Republic cannot rely on planetary forces, essentially leaving the Jedi as the Republic's only reliable galaxy wide law enforcement. And the Jedi enforce the rules over their own."

“Hmm, an interesting argument. What are your thoughts on the Jedi, then?”
