The blonde Konatsian sighed as she rubbed her forehead, looking over several different texts regarding bylaws and regulations etcetera. Up until recently she had been conducting research into how to undo the magical tear that existed above Dharatan, and had almost come up with a solution to the problem... and then heard the news that a group of individuals calling themselves the Nova Corps had dealt with it. By literally -eating- the void tear. They had even managed to perform something similar to the very ritual Cambia had been researching and cleansed the lands around the city of the abominable taint...
After that though they had apparently made themselves at home, literally in Lux's case, and declared themselves the rulers of Konats, with this "Jinx" person as the Premier. And now she was stuck here in the old castle, studying up on case law, and old decree's on behalf of the squabbling nobility who wanted someone else to deal with this off-worlder upstart problem for them... Cambia just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with just the wrong family legacy behind her...
On the one hand she agreed with them that an off-worlder shouldn't be the one in charge of their world, especially ones that tout themselves as "evil mercenaries"... But on the other hand, when the situation at the time had devolved into a conflict, the Nova's had made it their first priority to reduce collateral damage and even saved lives. And every single report that she had heard regarding this group of misfits and weirdos only seemed to reinforce this conflicting image of them. The only accurate description that could be gathered was "chaos".
She groaned and leaned back in her chair, staring up at the ceiling before running both hands down her face. "What are we supposed to do?" she muttered to herself. The only clear code of conduct that she could locate regarding usurping power in this fashion was a Trial By Combat, which she sincerely doubted she'd be able to handle herself. The blonde Konatsian was under no illusions that should it come down to a fight, she was but one warrior against an entire squad, and that's assuming they even chose to entertain the notion of it.
Cambia didn't even know of any other Konatsians that might even have close to the strength needed to help deal with this, assuming they wanted to either. The Nova Corps weren't doing anything that the general populace could see as being dire or evil... If anything, they were generally a decent group. Which again ran counter to their self-moniker of being an "evil mercenary group"... The blonde wondered if she could arrange a meeting with them down the line maybe? Try to actually make heads or tails of this madness... But by all reports, the ones who make the decisions amongst them were currently off-world, dealing with something over on Arcose or Namek or both...
She ran a hand through her hair and sighed, looking back at the mass of tomes before standing up and starting to head out of the room. "Maybe some fresh air will help me think more clearly..." Cambia mused. Hopefully she didn't run into any of the nobles today... She was probably likely to punch one if they forced her into an interrogative chat. She almost wished that one of the Corps, or someone connected to them would be visiting or something... Then at least maybe she could get some straight answers.
