Standing at the dais in the center of the Senate Convocation Chamber, Alicia saw a marked difference in the Senators. During the previous day, all of the speeches were full of emotion, whether speeches of sympathy for the victims of the Alignment attack, fiery calls for retribution and vengeance, or scathing criticism of the young Chief of State. Today, however, everything seemed. . . subdued.
One only needed to look in the back of the chamber, where a block of seats reserved for twelve delegations representing nearly a thousand planets of the Outer Rim stood empty, to see why all of the delegates present were so somber. At the beginning of the session, twelve Senators and over a hundred legates filed into the chamber to submit Articles of Withdrawal for their respective worlds, with hundreds more transmitting them in absentia.
If there was one thing that Alicia could find comfort in, it was that the mass secession had eliminated most of her strongest critics in the Senate, the ones who had been quick to blame her for everything and anything. An interesting result of this was that the Senate was able to reach quick consensus on both of the items of the agenda, the subjects of sending aid to Corellia and beginning the task of rebuilding Coruscant, and the session was adjourned before the midday meal.
Leaving the Senate Hall, she went to find Master Jedi Kid Sampson.
(ooc) Kid, you said you wanted to talk to me?
