| YodaWith you the force is strong... young Senator. To see you alive brings warm feeling to my heart.Padme AmidalaThank you, Master Yoda. Do you have any idea who was behind the attack?Mace WinduOur intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners, on the moons of Naboo.Padme AmidalaI don't wish to disagree but I think that Count Dooku was behind it.Mace WinduYou know, M'Lady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He wouldn't assassinate anyone, it is not in his character.Ki-Adi-MundiHe is a political idealist, not a murderer.YodaIn dark times nothing is what it appears to be, but the fact remains Senator, in grave danger you are.PalpatineCount Dooku has always avoided any kind of conflict. It appears he has no desire to start a war. Why would he kill you? To what end?Padme AmidalaI don't know, but everything in my being tells me he was behind it... PalpatineMaster Jedi, may I suggest that the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces.Bail OrganaDo you think that is a wise use of manpower during these stressful times?Padme AmidalaChancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe the...Palpatine..."situation is that serious." No, but I do, Senator.Padme AmidalaChancellor, please! I don't want any more guards!PalpatineI realise all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you are familiar with... an old friend like... Master Kenobi...Mace WinduThat's possible. He has just returned from a Border dispute on Ansion.PalpatineYou must remember him, M'Lady... he watched over you during the blockade conflict.Padme AmidalaThis is not necessary, Chancellor.PalpatineDo it for me, M'Lady, please. I will rest easier. We had a big scare today. The thought of losing you is unbearable.Mace WinduI will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately, M'Lady.YodaToo little about yourself you worry, Senator, and too much about politics. Be mindful of your danger, Padme. Accept our help. |
