Note 5
Darth Maul,
Very good. Now as promised, I'm sending your new lightsaber with this letter. It's a double one; remember.
Okay the Jedi Council is doing nothing of importance, and suspects nothing. Good. Keep watching them closely.
Very, very good. I just got word of the new election for the ruler of Naboo. Very good. Amidala is a top candidate. She has the people's support, and I am sure she will win. The election is tomorrow, so all should go well. To insure that she gets elected, why don't you create extra ballots with votes towards Amidala. Go through the ballots and throw out some that are not for her. The extra ballots that you make up will make up the difference. As for Ladina, if you desire to kill her with your lightsaber, you may. A speeder wreck would be most excellent. However, be cautious, Lord Maul. You may not receive an opportunity to do this speederwreck, due to time constraints and the like. You are to use caution.
Yes, the Trade Federation has agreed to help. Now that they have agreed, I will be able to control them quite easily. Fear of me will keep them in line. They can be easily manipulated. Stupid beings are easy to control. The leaders are indeed cowards and fools. Very good perception, Lord Maul. This will serve you well in the future. And we must remember, they are greedy. We must use this greed against them, my apprentice. It is not only the foolish and cowardly that involve themselves with the Sith. Beings who want something, desperate beings, beings that are greedy, and anyone who can be deceived also can become easily involved with us. Deception is our weapon; remember this.
As for Arawn, very good….bring him to my office on Coruscant, in the middle of night tomorrow night. I will ensure that no one will see you. I will reprogram the computers with security guards, security cameras, and the like to be switched off. Therefore, none will report to duty today, and if they do, simply kill them.
Excellent. The king is now very ill, and "may not live."
I am going to Coruscant for business. Contact me when you have messed with the ballots, and when she is elected. I want both reports in the next message.
I will become Emperor…..soon…..and you will rule under me. No one will be able to stop us!
