"I'm so sorry I made you change your stories," Ta'tan'ia told her.
"Forget it," she replied with a smile. "It worked out okay in the end.
Ta'tan'ia considered that a moment. "It's still wrong," she finally said. "I never should have done it in the first place," she explained as she scooted a little tighter against her.
They relaxed on the bench and chatted a while. Ta'tan'ia made her promise to be careful since she wasn't on Chief Daala's good list anymore. Finally Madhi said she had to go.
Ta'tan'ia walked her back to the Main Entrance. Now Turi Altamik and two new padawans were on duty in the security foyer. The same YVH droid was still present though. Ta'tan'ia stopped Madhi and gave her a quick goodbye kiss. Ta'tan'ia sensed the surprise from the two padawans, and mild amusement from Turi.
"Hey," Madhi said with an embarrassed smile as she nudged her away.
Ta'tan'ia gave her a wink in reply. Then she walked out with her, and watched her descend the steps outside.
As Madhi climbed into the speeder that was waiting for her, she turned and waved goodbye. Ta'tan'ia waved back from the top of the stairs, then watched the speeder pull away.

A couple of days later, Ta'tan'ia tried to talk to Master Durron about her beskar restraints and bicep cuffs again. He was sympathetic, but told her she would have to be patient. He did give her permission to contact Chief Daala about them though. Ta'tan'ia retreated to her room, ran through several Jedi calming exercises, and commed her with her wrist comlink. Even though it was programmed to go straight through to the Chief of State, it was several minutes before she finally answered.
"Ta'tan'ia," Chief Daala greeted her simply when she finally responded.
"Good afternoon, Your Excellency," Ta'tan'ia replied nervously over the voice-only link. "How are you doing?"
"I'm managing," Chief Daala answered. "When will you be back at your proper place, serving me?"
Ta'tan'ia ran through a quick Jedi calming exercise. She had hoped to ask her to unlock her restraints before that came up.
"Um, I'm not sure, Your Excellency," she told her. While Ta'tan'ia didn't really think she could work for the woman that had had Kani murdered, she didn't want to say no outright.
Always in motion, the future is
.
"I see," Chief Daala responded. "So why did you call then?"
"Well, Your Excellency, I was hoping that you would please unlock my chastity belt, and maybe my head harness," Ta'tan'ia explained. She would worry about her tracking collar later; especially since she was pretty sure she wouldn't unlock it—no matter what.
"You look so beautiful in your cute chastity belt and head harness with my Seal on them though," Chief Daala replied. She paused, then asked, "Why do you want me to unlock your chastity belt anyway?"
Ta'tan'ia let out a small groan of frustration. "You know why, Your Excellency," she answered.
"I'm sorry DJ, I don't" Chief Daala responded innocently. "Tell me."
Ta'tan'ia could feel the wetness between her own legs. The fact that her pussy was locked behind an impenetrable barrier of beskar only made her even more aroused. She couldn't believe she was going to make her say it.
"Because I'm horny, Your Excellency," Ta'tan'ia admitted.
Ta'tan'ia could practically see the evil grin on Chief Daala's face. She definitely heard her delighted laughter.
"Well, when you return to your duties we can discuss what you'll have to do to earn a short release from your chastity belt," Chief Daala answered calmly.
Ta'tan'ia remained silent a few moments, to see if she would mention the head harness, or bicep cuffs, or even her tracking collar. "Please, Your Excellency?" she asked again.
"You made your choice, Ta'tan'ia," Chief Daala said. "Live with it."
With that the link went dead. Ta'tan'ia shut off her comlink with a sigh of frustration. She couldn't say she was really surprised though. Master Durron had warned her something like this would happen when she agreed to become Chief Daala's Jedi liaison.
Ta'tan'ia felt her chastity belt through her uniform. She wondered if she would be wearing it for the rest of her life. The thought did turn her on—a little. Having someone else controlling her so intimately was a huge turn-on, as long as there was the possibility she could earn some relief at some point. It looked like she was going to be a very frustrated submissive before long though—and stay that way for a very long time.
The following day, the Senate issued an official censure of Chief Daala's use of Mandalorian mercenaries on Coruscant, and her lack of an effort to prosecute them. The Jedi also got word that a recall vote was in the works. Master Durron admitted to Ta'tan'ia that he had something to do with the measure.
Wynn Dorvan, Daala's Chief of Staff, resigned just before the censure vote. Ta'tan'ia also found out that Desha Lor had left with him. Ta'tan'ia hoped everything worked out for both of them, they were really great people.

Nearly a week after Kani's death, the Jedi Order held a public memorial service for her. Master Durron even allowed a few holocameras to broadcast the service over the HoloNet.
To the Jedi's annoyance, the Chief of State attended. She even took it upon herself to speak, no doubt relishing some time in front of the holocameras. As she approached the podium, Ta'tan'ia wondered just who's idea the holocameras were.
Chief Daala denounced the Mandalorian attack, and expressed her sympathies for the victims. She also announced that she had expelled all Mandalorian mercenaries from Coruscant as soon as she learned of the attack, and that they were gone. She then implied that the Jedi Order was partially to blame for the incident. She even shed a few tears as she spoke about Kani's fierce loyalty and dedication to the Galactic Alliance.
In spite of the distance between her and Master Durron, Ta'tan'ia could feel a strange sense of indignation and . . . smugness from him as Chief Daala spoke. She got similar feelings from the other Masters as well. A double handful of Knights also had similar reactions, although all of the Jedi kept somber faces. Ta'tan'ia was definitely curious about what she sensed, but she knew Master Durron would tell her if she needed to know.
As the service ended, Ta'tan'ia thought about trying to talk to Chief Daala about her chastity belt again, but quickly discarded the idea. It was too public a setting, and the Chief of State was surrounded by a ring of advisors and security officers.
