Chapter 1: The Missed Meeting
After his conversation with Yoda about his premonitions, Anakin meets with Obi-Wan, albeit too late. Captain Picard also is with Obi-Wan. "You've missed the report on the Outer Rim Sieges." Captain Picard indicated that Starfleet has sent numerous ships to accelerate the Republic's victory around the galaxies that are involved. "What's wrong?"
"The Senate is expected to vote on more executives powers to the Chancellor today." Picard spoke up, "In his studies of politics in this galaxy, Ambassador Spock believes this is not the right move. The chancellor has been in office longer than anyone, and his term expired many months ago. Something is not right." "I agree," Obi-Wan said.
"Chancellor has requested your presence, Anakin." "For what reason?" "He would not say." "Be careful of your friend Palpatine, Anakin." "Does the Council know?" "No," Obi-Wan answered."And it makes me feel uneasy." "I understand, Master."
Once they parted, Picard said to Obi-Wan. "We will watch from a distance. Mr. Worf has implanted surveillance devices in the Chancellor's office. We have also have a mutual friend that can hide himself and blend in with his surroundings, like a chameleon." Obi-Wan nodded, "That could be helpful in finding the Sith Lord we've been looking." "Agreed. I must report back to the Enterprise. If you'll excuse me." Obi-Wan nodded. Picard then signaled the Enterprise to beam him up.
