Chapter 3: Meeting the Queen
Materializing onto the planet surface, in from the capital building, the Jedi and the crew of the Enterprise entered the main war room. "Ambassador Qui-Gonn, the negotiations seemed to have failed." "The negotiations never took place, but the Trade Federation is destroyed, but there is still a danger to the Queen. It's imperative that we take to Queen to Coruscant." Senator Sio Bibble answered, "Right this way."
As they reach of Oval Office of Theed, the ambassadors and the people meet the Queen Amidala. "Your Majesty, I'm pleased to inform that the Trade Federation is no more. However, I still believe this is a threat to your life." The Queen asked, "From who?" Qui-Gonn unhesitantly answered, "The Sith, Your Majesty." Sio Bibble furiously interjected, "The Sith are exist, Ambassador." Qui-Gonn Jinn asked equally furious, "Then why do I sense a Sith presence?" Sio Bibble stopped and simply said, "I don't know." Qui-Gonn looked back at the Queen, "Your Majesty, I'm asking you to join us and resolve this matter." Captain Panaka suggested, "What if we're followed?" Qui-Gonn motioned to the crew. "Then we will be cautious and we will have assistance." Picard stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I am Captain Jean Luc Picard from the United Federation of Planets from another galaxy. We come here through a vortex and now we've come to assist these gentlemen. As to your question, Captain Panaka, my ship, the Enterprise has weapons slightly different from yours and we are currently in orbit of your planet as we speak." Motioning to his officers, "This is my former first officer, William Riker and his wife Deanna from the Starship Titan, this is Commander Worf, my security chief; Commander Data, operations, and my chief engineer, Geordi La Forge." Data, "If I may approach the queen, sir?" "Granted." Data looked the queen, "I am Lt. Commander Data, my functional design is known as android. While the Enterprise was in orbit of this remarkable planet, our ship's sensors detected innumerable amounts of aquatic life and possibly aquatic life in the waters. Master Jinn has suggested they are called Gungans. Can you verify your knowledge of the identity of the species?" Queen motioned to Panaka. "We can confirm your findings, Commander. However, we are having difficulty cooperating with them." Data: "May I ask how you came to this difficulty?" Panaka: "Purely a matter of trust between the Nabooians and the Gungans, but I can not elaborate more." Data, "I see. Thank you for your honesty, Captain." Picard: "Your Majesty, perhaps we can help end the hostilities between you and Gungan species. My android officer is deplete of human or Basic emotion, and has no biases of any kind. Furthermore, my Counselor is an empath, similar to the power of the Jedi. We ask your permission to survey the lakes and oceans. Perhaps a truce can occur." The Queen thought, "I don't have a problem with that. I will join you." She motioned Padme to approach. "My servant will join you as well." Picard: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
They entered the forests of Naboo and found a decent quiet place to rest. Data took a survey of the planet's aquatic life. "Captain, my tricorder readings are inconclusive on how many types of life forms exist; however, I have detected large domes in the water; where it is possible the Gungans live." "Well done, Mr. Data." Captain Picard touched his communicator. "Picard to Enterprise Computer, two diving attire with snorkeling equipment." The servant suggested, "Don't you mean three, Captain? One for your android." Picard smiled at her and motioned to Data to answer the query, "Padme, as an android, I do not breathe as you humans do, so a suit of this type will be necessary." Padme smiled, embarrassed, "I'm sorry I asked." Data, "No apology necessary. All life forms will have this query. Your suggestion was commendable. Thank you for you concern." The ladies put on the water suits. "Permission to go for a swim, sir." The girls chuckled. Picard tried to keep his composure. "At your conveinance, Mr. Data." Data and the duo left the land and made it to the domes where they were met by Captain Tarpals. "Whousa are you, sa?" "I am Data, from the starship Enterprise and this is Counselor Troi. We are here at the behest of the Queen of Naboo to end the hostilities ask you to join us." "Mesa take you to sa boss." Captain Tarpals Data and party to meet Big Boss Noss. "Greetings, your Honor. I am Lt. Commander Data from the Enterprise, a starship in orbit of your illustrious planet We are here to make a truce between the Queen and her people on the land, and you and your aquatic species. Accompanying me is Counselor Troi and one of Her Majesty's servants, Padme."
Big Boss Nass clicked his teeth and asked, "Where is the army of machinics?" Data was confused. Troi, "I believe he's referring to the Trade Federation droids." Data responded, "They are destroyed, sir." Boss Nass laughed, "Mesa lika dis. Thisa truce is begun! We will join yousa shortly." He shook his head. "We will inform our leaders. Thank you for your time." Boss Nass, "Wait! Jar Jar Binks?" The Gungan, "Ah, hello Big Boss Nass, your Honor." "Jar Jar Binks, yousa will join thisa crew back to the highsa ground." "Me gods, what an adventure. Dissen bombad!" Motioning to the crew, "Yousa follow me now, okeyday?"
They made it back and reported to the crew and Queen, "Captain, Your Majesty, the truce between the Naboo and Gungans has begun. And we have brought along a friend." Jar Jar Binks approached, "Hello. Oh, yousa musta be the bigga boss." Picard, "I am Captain Picard of the Starship Enterprise and it is an honor to meet you, Mr. Binks.
Now, we must confer with the Jedi to make may to Coruscant. Picard to Enterpise." Picard touched his combadge. "Wesley Crusher here, sir. Ready to receive you." "Acknowledged, standby for transport, Chief." Miles O'Brien, transferred back to the Enterprise from Deep Space Nine, "Standing by, sir. Whenever you're ready." As groups of four materialized unto the starship, Picard order a course to Coruscant.
