Chancellor Palpatine,

Yes, it seems as though I've joined the Senate when they need me the most. Everything has been happening so fast that it's made my head spin a little but I'm happy to do anything I can to help preserve the Republic. We cannot let this new governemnt attempt to overtake the galaxy. I know, as I'm sure you know, that if that were to happen, countless innocent lives would be lost and the galaxy would lay in ruins. We simply cannot allow this to happen.

But that being said, I'm glad you are alright in spite of the Trade Federation's efforts to hurt you.

Yes, I'm aware of the note the Viceroy sent you. That was a very vicious thing to do but they wanted to make a statement and they certainly succeeded with that. Nute Gunray doesn't scare me at all. It's Count Dooku that makes me nervous. There's no telling what he'll do with all the power he's just gained over the Trade Federation and now with the Viceroy at his beck and call, it's very likely that we should expect some kind of strategic move on their part. The Senate and you, Chancellor, needs to act quickly before this continues to escalate even further.

Have you begun negotiations with Count Dooku yet? This is probably the strategy we should try first...less chance of lives being lost if this can be resolved through negotiations instead of on a battlefield. Please let me know how it goes.

Senator Amidala
