Senator Palpatine.
No, I am not on Naboo any longer. I was traveling to Coruscant with the Jedi to speak to the Senate personally, but our ship needed repairs from the damage caused to it by the Trade Federation. Fortunately, no one was hurt, just our ship. We've landed on Tatooine to get the parts we need, even though I don't know now long that will take considering I'm not familar with this planet at all.
The people here are so rough and rude, and they have slaves. I met one today, a little boy, who was the sweetest little boy I've ever met. It breaks my heart that he has to live in slavery because no one deserves that. Maybe I will try to get him freed after all this is over. I will alert you as soon as I reach Coruscant.
