Note 25.5
Ten years after the Trade Federation of Naboo
Two years later
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine,
As you know, I have already returned to Coruscant. It seems that those who sought to destroy my life have stopped hunting me. I am not stupid, though, and I have employed body guards and other security personnel for my service. For a time, Jedi were even guarding me.
I am trying to get Senator Amidala to come back to Coruscant so that she can vote on the Military Creation Act. As you know, our Loyalist Committee is trying to fight against this act. It might help if you would try to convince her to return as well. She feels strongly against the idea of creating a military, but is unsure she wants to risk the travel. We are voting on this act this week.
Senator Bail Organa
Part 2
By now you know of the attack on Senator Amidala's life – she did return to Coruscant for the vote. Several of her body guards were killed, as a bomb hit the ship carrying her decoy. She is unharmed, thankfully.
I am glad she felt up to addressing the Senate in the session. How do you think other Senators took her speech? Personally, I think she presented very well and her words were powerful.
I also heard you say that you wanted a Jedi to protect Padme. Do you really think that that is wise in these stressful times?
