Mace,

Correspondence with the padawan I have had. Good that the battle over it is. Very sad and unfortunate, Qui-Gon's loss is. Miss him, I will. Well fought Obi-Wan. A great challenge did he face. A Sith this creature must have been indeed. Obi-Wan the loss of Qui-Gon the strongest will feel. How very sad a thing it is. Obi-Wan as a Jedi did fight.

Young Skywalker's intervention pivotal was. Much good from his actions have come. Fortunate this is.

Much danger do I sense in the boy's training. Cloudy his future is. Uncertain what happen will is. In the boy, Qui-Gon strongly did believe. Such belief, lightly, he did not give, I know. Still, often blind to danger are we when too close to it we are. Obi-Wan should have no other master. For the trials, ready is he. To defeat a Sith Lord, trial it is enough. No stronger trial contrive can we. His mettle he did prove. A Jedi Knight, make him we will. The other members, speak with, I will. His knighting, prepare for we must.

Training or no training, dangerous the boy could become. In the hands of the Sith, a powerful weapon could he be. In our hands, a strong ally could he be...or a problem as yet unseen. Purposefully, the boy would not act against us, I don't believe. Deception is of the Dark Side, and use it the Sith will. Already in motion, their plans are. Too quickly on us do they close in. The lesser of two evils must we choose.

Instruct him, I can. Many Jedi have I trained. What learned can be, can be unlearned. Time, it does take. Effort, require it does. The Sith Master doubtful it was that died it was he. Exposure, the Master risk would not. Danger, subject himself to he would not. Among us he is, I fear. Close, at the heart of the Republic, I fear. A position of some power, believe I do. Only know not what position do I. Distant or close, a close eye on the apprentice the Master kept. Of Skywalker, knows he does, certain am I. Over the boy we must watch. Instruct Skywalker of the danger of the Dark Side must we.

Two there are, no more, no less. The master we must seek. Stop him we must, before another apprentice he can take.

Kind offer it was for Palpatine to make. Yet trust him, I do not.

This matter, resolve we must. Accompany you I will.

Excellent. Join you I will. Better we will know Palpatine. Perhaps clearer his intentions shall become.

The Force, may it be with you

Yoda
