(Separatist Planet)

Dooku stood outside on one of his private palaces on an unknow Separatist-controlled planet. He was in a meeting with Nute Gunray, Poggle the Lesser, San Hill, and Wat Tambor.

"So you say, Viceroy, that this new creation will work?" said Dooku.

"It will, my Lord. This new project will help crush the Rebublic's navy, and their armies," said Gunray proudly.

Poggle said something in Geonisian that translated would be, "And when will it be unleashed?"

"Soon, Poggle, soon. We are still trying to work at it so that will understand our orders," said Hill.

"Once it is unleashed, it is near impossible to stop," said Tambor.

"So we have an agreement then?" said Dooku. All hands were raised in favor.

"Good, now we just figure out who to test it out on," said Gunray.

"The capitol of the Republic, Coruscant?" sauggested Hill. Murmurs of disagreement.

"The Republic ship-building planets?" said Tambor. Still no agreement.

"The Republic forces still on my planet?" said Poggle angrily. Definitely no agreement.

"I know who," said Dooku.

"Who, Lord Tyranus?" said Hill.

"As you know, there is a Republic Army that's been a thorn in our sides for months now. This army has thwarted all our attempts and ideas time and again. I suggest we test it out out on them," said Dooku.

"Who?" said Gunray.

"The Third Systems Army," said Dooku. Two of the other members looked confused.

"And what signifigance are they Count, they are just clones," said Tambor. Poggle was the only one who knew what Dooku was talking about.

"This is the army led by Kenobi and Skywalker," said Dooku. At once, everyone knew. They knew about Obi-Wan and Anakin's history, as well as Ahsoka's. The new addition in the shape of Taran had made their exploits even more unfavorable.

"Yes, without them the Republic forces will be tinned and their morale battered," said Poggle.

"Exactly, and our triumphs in this war will go even further without any interruptions," said Gunray.

"So, do we have a vote?" said Dooku. All the members their raised their hands.

"Good, then it is decided that the first test of our experiment is Kenobi, Skywalker, Tano, and Cyneran," said Dooku. "How long until the project is complete?"

"As we said, we are trying to tame it, but it should be ready in three days," said Gunray.

"Is this the quickest it can be done?" said Dooku.

"Unless you would have us risk deploying it noe, and then it will wreak havoc on not just them, but our forces as well," said Hill. Dooku groaned.

"Fine, three days, then it will be unleashed," said Dooku. The members bowed their heads and left, all except Poggle.

"Once their gone, the Republic will crumble and you along with Darth Sidious will rule," said Poggle.

"Yes, it is just unfortunate that they will have to die so gruesomely," said Dooku.

"It is a pity, but much must be sacrificed in war," said Poggle. He left, leaving Dooku alone. Dooku looked out onto the fields of his palace, smiling.

"In just one week Kenobi, you and Skywalker along with your brats will meet a gruesome end," he thought.
