Note 25
Ten years after the Trade Federation Invasion of Naboo
6 months later
Mace Windu,
Thank you for allowing Obi-Wan and I to go on the border dispute mission. At least that one was somewhat interested. We have returned from it, and it went well. I know that it will probably not be long before we are assigned to go on another mission. However, for the time being, we are on Coruscant.
What has been going on while Obi-Wan and I were away? I'm guessing that Count Dooku has gotten more systems to join his Separatist movement. What else is new?
Dooku is giving you inside information about the Separatists? Okay…I guess Obi-Wan was right then. Obi-Wan suggested to me that Dooku might be just playing along with the Trade Federation and Separatists in order to find out what is going on. It seems to be working well. I didn't realize he was working undercover for the Order – if I had known that I would never have made any suggestion otherwise. Well, if he's trying to find out who this Sith Lord is, and then inform the Order of his identity, we have nothing to worry about. It is clever of you to be using him in this way.
Yes, I know that the Order can't do much about systems joining the Separatists. However, if Dooku is really working for us, then I'm sure he'll dissolve this Separatist group once he learns what is going on with the Sith.
Do you think building an army for the Republic is really a good idea? I mean, I know we have no control over what happens….but what are your thoughts? We're the ones who are charged with keeping the peace in the Republic. I guess, then, that that Military Creation Act passed.
The Separatists are creating an army? But why….if this Separatist movement is only a front to identifying the Sith, then they don't really need an army. I suppose they could pretend to be building an army to make Dooku's undercover mission look legitimate.
What has Jocasta Nu said about those artifacts? Any updates on that?
