May The Invisible Hand Be With You - (Star Wars CK2-Style Quest)

[x] Have Grievous publicly denounce the bombing.
-[x] Through a holonet broadcast from Kalee.

I think that the message coming from Kalee where the harm of the war took place has a weight of its own. Anyway we don't need to let the galaxy know that Grievous is on Coruscant so let's not.
 
[X] Have Grievous publicly denounce the bombing.
-[X] Directly from Courscant.

Grievous leads from the front, always. Besides: something something, there on a favour for the Mandalore, something something, reporters get eaten alive by Jango's insane diplomacy stat.
 
In true manner...


But more seriously, now to start placing the pegs that is to derail Palpatine's likely 'plot' to dig out the trenchcoat that is the Jedi Order, with common sense and politics.

Now, to find a reasonable bomber, or even send Grievous. And how to do so, while going risk/reward ratio on "should we stir confusion, or risk our dear Martial hero getting tangled in a Palpatine retribution counter-scheme?"

Hologram's the safest way to derail via challenging the 'honour' angle, but is he the only angle or means to drive a wedge into the likely scandel PR that'd be fit for Palpatine's schemes?

EDIT: Now, to either seriously go "Personal, dive in with a challenge voice, and bail out before he 'challenges' the heck out of heckering PR stuntsmen." Or schemes of 'justice/punishment', while possibly passively bailing out Ahsoka, which will have a ripple effect of some other honourable Jedi getting the misjustice angle?

This stuff comes later. For now the focus is on what we do with Grievous specifically.
 
Will it's effectiveness be determined by roll?

Partially, want to abstain. Grievous practically is a leader of Kalee, and his word, no matter the place has weight... but his hate dislike of Jedi is well known, as well as affiliation with philanthropist Ciaran, who while critical of Jedi is also (to extend) supporting them.

but the crux of Grievous' argument stands: Jedi fault is not the warrior aspect, but their convictions that they are infallible.

Sure, he could say it from Kalee, but in order to catch as much attention it needs to be not only public, but also encompassing (aka presented both on news, AND on screens, billboards, and in such way that people hear the meaning, not what they want.)
"...Jedi are fallible. Huk-Kaleesh War exemplified it. They are good warriors, but most blind themselves in their convictions, believing in that they are right without considering the whole situation..."

Ohhhhh, we NEED to leverage this, but it' be better for Grievous to NOT be on Courascant (place where his statement would have the most impact). Hate this dilemma.

A good way to keep things from boiling over while not exposing him to Palpatine primed journalists

...I was this close to being catty but I totes kept myself from indulging. In other news, @Dr. Snark, perhaps run a Ctrl-F in the update for "Courscant" and "witter" and detypofy them?

It's more in character for Grevous

It'll likely lead to problems, but it is his way.


And sometimes you just need to face your problems head on.

If you want to make an impact you have to be heard. It's easier to ignore someone unless they're speaking directly to you.

-[X] And have him finish with a demand to not bother him, since he is busy with the Huk or something like that and has no time to talk about cowards. This would also neatly explain why he isn't on Coruscant or coming to the planet, or else the 'reporters' (read: soulless beings worse than vultures) would start trouble since he isn't on the planet... possibly calling him a coward and I don't want to see what he would do in answer to that insult.
-[X] Have Jango also make a pre-emptive broadcast to make sure nobody believes that his faction is responsible. ("I am making this broadcast since I am well aware people will have this thought..." or something like that.) We really don't need people pointing at the Mandalorians on our side and putting their nose there, since it would make things harder for us and Skirata. Never mind the nightmare it would be if someone discovered the clone deserters.

Is Duchess Satine coming to Coruscant too? It was her words (that Ciaran totally didn't have an hand in) that prevented the potential loss of more people, including younglings. And I am sure there will be those who will claim that she obviously knew in advance about the bombing. We may need to take care of those claims, not that it would be hard since the arguments used to convince Satine are perfectly viable.
