Note 20

Five years after the Naboo Invasion

One year later:

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine,

I seek only to please and serve you.

The galaxy can expect nothing but the best from you. I was under the impression that you already had Dooku's loyalty. As I have been carefully watching from my secret hideout on Coruscant, it seems that Dooku has already consented to your training.

Ah, so you are thinking of turning the Skywalker boy as well. That should not be too difficult for you, Master. As you wish….I will not contact him or talk to him, or even let him see me. There may be a time that you wish to change your mind about this. Should this ever become the case, know that I will do as you ask.

Anakin's Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi has been having Anakin go on missions with him. From what I overheard between them, this is actually against the Jedi Council's judgment. Kenobi has been sneaking the boy on these missions under the guise of training him. While this has eased the boy some, it is very apparent that he still feels that he should be doing more for the galaxy. That is all that I have to report on Skywalker at this time. You will find more detailed descriptions of his doings in the safety deposit box at the bank. Feel free to ask me about any of them, and I will clarify what I saw.

Also, the rumors among certain Jedi members of you being a possible Sith Lord have ceased. As you know, they were only making those comments out of fear. They are scared of Sith, and completely obsessed with the topic. Out of fear, they have started accusing one another of all sorts of things. Your master plan is working. The riots that were headed up by Nute Gunray last year helped to stop the rumors that were about you. The Jedi haven't a clue as to what is truly going on.

Your servant,

Arawn

Part 2

Six years after the Naboo Invasion

One year later

I have bribed the majority of the Senators in the Senate to vote to remove the Trade Federation from the Senate, just as your instructions to me stated.

I also have planted the false Sith evidence on several different planets to keep the Jedi's attention diverted from you. I have arranged it so that "strange activity" on Dantooine is being reported to the Jedi as we speak. I first planted the evidence and strange creatures on Dantooine, then I disguised myself and pretended to accidentally discover this stuff. I alerted the Republic authorities on the planet, and they immediately contacted the Jedi Council.

Is there anything else you wish me to do, my master?
