Senator Antilles,

Unfortunately, I am not on my way to Coruscant and I have absolutely no idea when I will get there. The damage to our ship was worse than I had originally thought it was. Something with our hyperdrive. All we have is Republican credits and you and I both know that those are worthless on Tatooine. I'm not sure where to go from here. There is a small boy that I've become friends with who has said that there is a Nubian hyperdrive part in his Master's shop (yes, he is a slave). However, he would most likely have to podrace to get us the credits to buy it and I couldn't let him put himself in danger like that. But in the end, it might be the only way. But it will be the last resort. I will continue to keep you updated on our situation. Thank you again for your concern.
