Note 25
Seven years after the Naboo Invasion
One year later

My beloved wife,

Senate seems to be in an uproar over just about everything…courts, planetary issues, etc. I have no idea what has sparked all this mayhem, but it is outrageous to the point of total unrest at times. The Outer Rim is out of our jurisdiction, but I think some Jedi have been chosen to investigate it, not sure though. Something about heighten pirate raids I do believe.

I am going to try and take some leave soon though. I expect before too much longer that I won't be able to take any for quite awhile. I'm sorry love that the upcoming months will be lonely without me. Let us make the best of the time I'm asking for. Is there any particular place you've wanted to go too? I know there are others who share my goals and help with the workload, but it just isn't the same when somebody else does the work. I guess I get that since I started this committee. I had to and I hope you understand. Nobody else would have if I had not have stepped forward and instigated this. But I am going to ask for a week if possible. Think on where you would like to go.

Amidala should have no problem at all being chosen for Senator. I hear that she is technically already doing the work for the position. If only people would do that my love, perhaps the universe wouldn't be so violent at times if they could see the beauty in things.

I look forward to having the new Naboo Senator working alongside us. I do believe she will join our committee. She is against violence and anything about raising an army for the Republic which has been brought up time and time again in the Senate.

Yes…unfortunately (or fortunate for us) the Trade Federation is probably going to leave. Good riddance I say again. We don't need their likes in the Republic. Though I must admit their technology will be sorely missed. I expect it to be used against us sooner or later. Though I can only hope it would be never…

I do hope that nothing will come against us or the others in the committee; so many are against our ideals. If only they could understand what we are for and what we are talking about. If they would only join us it would benefit the Republic! But sadly they don't want to let go of their greed, their power over others…

As for Palpatine, I am uncertain love. He is trying to handle the turmoil, but it is getting out of control to the point that I don't believe he'll be able to handle it much longer. I actually believe something is going to snap. I feel so much tension in the Senate…anything dealing with the Republic now is on edge. The conversations that deal with the Republic are spoken with sarcasm or close to hatred. How has it come to this?

The Trade Federation was kicked out of the Senate and has no representative any longer. I as well hope somebody is overlooking their activities too.

Take care my darling and hope to be able to give you word on some time off.

Your ever loving husband,

Bail

Part 2
Eight years after the Naboo Invasion
One year later

I am uncertain about Count Dooku and Serenno. Serenno is a part of the Republic, but as for the background on him I am uncertain. As you well know there are over thousands out there and I can't know them all. There doesn't seem to be anything bad on the man, otherwise I'm sure rumors would be flying about like mad.
As for me, I'm exhausted. My leave has finally been approved. I will not have too many days, but a week will have to do. Have you decided upon a place to travel too?

As for Nute's letter…yes, it has been shown everywhere. It's as if the Chancellor wants everybody to see it. Which is puzzling to me…why would he? This will cause further unrest in the Senate. Others might follow him to this Count Dooku. Is this what the Chancellor wants? I truly hope not. Maybe I just don't see the plan that Palpatine has in store. I wish the man luck as to whatever it is.

My dear, please do not let this upset you too much. I'll be home soon and we can go on a short vacation together somewhere of your choosing. We'll do whatever you like, just the two of us.

I will be cautious and safe on the travel home.

All my love,

Bail
