Note 15
Darth Maul,

You may do with the queen whatever you wish AFTER I am elected Supreme Chancellor. I could care less if you killed her…..it might actually be a good idea….depending on the means of my election.

The Trade Federation members certainly are stupid.

I do not know anything about the Jedi at this time. Once I have found something out, I will let you know what I need you to do. …

It is me again. Excuse the break. I keep on be interrupted with "important" things here in the Senate.

The Trade Federation botched up my original plans. They first of all didn't kill the Jedi when they arrived at the Trade Federation control ship, and the Jedi escaped to Naboo. Then the Trade Federation had the nerve to try to correct me on a "mistake" because I said planet. They can't even think! They knew the Jedi were down on the planet because they said so in their previous letter. Then they didn't kill the Jedi on the planet, and the Jedi were able to get to Amidala and rescue her!

Then they were foolish enough to let them take a ship. I don't know if they got passed the blockade or not, but I'm guessing they did…..seeing how reliable the Trade Federation is being.

My plans depend on whether the ship got shot down or not, and on when/if they make it to Coruscant.

What happened was the Trade Federation sent DROIDS to lead the queen to a camp. Droids! They didn't even do it themselves. The Jedi somehow came out of nowhere and attacked the droids and freed the queen. That is what Queen Amidala told me in her last letter.

I will probably need you to go find the ship if it gets passed the droids. The Trade Federation is incompetent. Idiots! The don't know how to hold an invasion or kill people. I cannot believe that we have to do everything ourselves.

You must excuse me once again…yet another interruption…

Once again, I am back. I have received word from the Trade Federation….and the Queen's ship DID make it passed the blockade. Big surprise, wouldn't you say so.

I had the Trade Federation put a message link on all the Nabooian ships….and I have asked the Trade Federation to torture all the people of Naboo right in front of any Naboo officials that may not have escaped. I'm sure that they will contact the ship, and when they do, I instructed them to send the code to you so that you can decipher it and find the location of the ship.

It is a wonder that the Trade Federation leaders have managed to stay alive up until this point. Yes. I'll send you to Naboo to make sure that the Trade Federation leaders don't mess anything else up. What fools they are! No…you cannot kill them until I am Supreme Chancellor. After that, go ahead and kill them if you wish. I don't care what happens to anyone after I am Supreme Chancellor.

Well for all the Jedi know, all the Sith are extinct, and they do not see any threats. They will be in for a big surprise when we reemerge. The Jedi are very careless, but we will soon wipe them out, and it will be their downfall that they do not keep on guard. It may be tempting, but you must hold off. Patience, my young apprentice. In time we will be able to reveal ourselves, but not until I am secure in office.

You may start the search as soon as you have the trace from the message.

Another interruption!

I have returned once again.

Well never mind about the message code. The Trade Federation members are idiots. They could not figure out how to send you the code! How stupid can a being be? Anyway the important thing is that I know where they are. They are on a planet called Tatooine. Queen Amidala wrote me and told me herself. She also informed me that she is with one of the Jedi….so go to Tatooine and find her. Killing her would be the best action. Once the rest of the Senator's hear about her death, everyone will have sympathy for Naboo, and then they will want to kick Valorum out of office because of his ineffectiveness in handling the Naboo situation. I will then be nominated and elected to the position of Supreme Chancellor, and then our plans will fall into place nicely. Kill the Jedi that are guarding her as well, along with everyone she's with.

To locate her…to find what part of Tatooine she's on…use the midi-cholorian count probe droids…since she is with the Jedi, the probes can search out for high midi-cholorian count individuals…and that should be how you find her.

Yes, it will be a huge surprise to the Jedi when we reveal ourselves to them.

After I am elected Supreme Chancellor….I shall have to gain more and more popularity. After a short period of doing wonderful things for the Republic, I will need to create some sort of tragic situation, and I will then declare myself Emperor. I have not figured out how these plans will fall into place yet. I am still working on this part of my plan. Eventually we will have an Empire, and you will rule under me. No one will be able to stop us. Heh, heh, heh.

One day, my apprentice, you will be able to kill the Trade Federation. I need to use them for this Naboo situation until I am elected. After that, unless my plans change, you can kill them. You have been well trained; the Jedi will be no match for you.
