Note 13
Darth Maul,
The Trade Federation Leaders have contacted me and they believe that the Jedi have escaped. They possibly made it down to the planet. If so, they may be able to reach Amidala and rest of the Naboo…if the Trade Federation reaches the queen first….they will force her to sign a treaty.
If she signs it, then the Trade Federation will take the treaty to their own Senators, who will present it to the Senate. I will go before the Senate and plead for Naboo's justice. I have made a lot of friends in the Senate through this "tragedy" and I have no doubt that someone will move for a vote of no confidence in Senator Valorum. Everyone will develop sympathy for me, and I will be elected as Supreme Chancellor.
If the queen manages to escape with the Jedi….and they leave Naboo without her signing the treaty, they will probably try to go to Coruscant. If that is the case, Supreme Chancellor Valorum told me that he would call for a special session of the Senate to hear our case……and I will persuade Amidala to make the move for the vote of no confidence.
Either way I WILL BE ELECTED AS SUPREME CHANCELLOR.
Once Amidala has made that move, I will have no further use for her, and I will have her killed.
If they escape, I will send you to track the Jedi….and I will allow you to kill them. But before you get your hopes up, I must hear what is going on with Naboo…so that I know which plan I need to follow.
Yes, the Trade Federation is stupid, but that is why I am using them…..I set this whole situation up. I had to do it with someone greedy and stupid. Yes, poison gas did not kill the Jedi, because their bodies would have been discovered.
I will let you know if you need to reveal yourself or not.
As for the Trade Federation, no my apprentice, we cannot kill them yet. We need them to continue the invasion so that I can become Supreme Chancellor. I may send you to the Trade Federation to put some fear in them…but that is not our main priority right now.
Your Master,
Darth Sidious
