Note 27

Rune Haako,

You are an idiot, and a poor excuse for a leader of any group of sentient beings. You are therefore never again allowed to handle messages, under pain of death. And may I remind you that I do stick to my death promises.

Leave the Genosians to Nute Gunray. You have lied to me. I knew the moment I read the correspondence that you sent that it was you, Rune Haako, and not Rune Gunray that sent the correspondence. You do not even know how to spell his name, or other words. It was painfully obvious that only an idiot like you would send a message such as that to me, a Dark Lord of the Sith.

You are pathetic, and I never want to hear from you again. I warn you, my apprentice, Darth Maul, will uncover his head and then swiftly end your life should you make another mistake.

In the future you will receive your reward…

Darth Sidious, Sith Master

Part 2

Nute Gunray,

You are to ensure that Nute Gunray never again gets the opportunity to send me a communication. If he does, it will be his death.

So you have met with the Geonosians? Very good. A friendship with them will be most beneficial to us.

I am sure that you are aware that my apprentice, Darth Maul, has arrived on Naboo. He tells me he is keeping the invasion in line now. Very good.

I wish for an update on the invasion. Wonderful. Two mass killings on the street…progress has surely been made. You stated that you would elaborate on these killings; please do so now.

Darth Sidious

Part 3

Nute Gunray,

I trust that you will punish Rune Haako for what he has done? You can handle that. If you cannot, my apprentice will become involved.

Now that Lord Maul has arrived, I also trust that you have been able to keep the masses controlled?

The hologram of the shooting was quite entertaining. Thank you for sending it to me. You have done well. See to it that this man's daughter is killed along with his entire family. Resistance will not be tolerated.

As a precaution, kill all that can be identified as attending that speech. I assume you also have a copy of the transcript. Use that to identify those that have defied the invasion.

Being on Coruscant, I heard there was a special session of the Senate that was to address Naboo's situation. I do not know whether you have heard from your own Senators, so allow me to enlighten you. I would like to inform you that all has been taken care of in the Senate. Queen Amidala arrived on Coruscant, and there was a Special session of the Senate, which Supreme Chancellor Valorum called to order.

The Senator from Naboo, Senator Palpatine, was immediately recognized by the Supreme Chancellor. He stated that Naboo was being invaded by the oppression of the Trade Federation. (I'm sure your own Senators have already told you this.) The Trade Federation Senators, of course, objected to this. The Supreme Chancellor continued to recognize the Naboo Senator. Queen Amidala was then presented before the Senate, and she started speaking.

The Trade Federation Senators interrupted once again, and asked for a commission be sent to the planet to "ascertain the truth." The Senators from Malastare agreed with them, and the action was stopped.

I was very pleased to learn of this…that you have gathered allies in the Senate. Your Senators were able to stop any action in the Senate…very good. This will certainly work to our advantage…

I also heard that Queen Amidala has decided to go back to Naboo. I gather that she is going to plan for some kind of battle. She is of course very foolish to think she could go against us. When she arrives, I want you to kill her and everyone she is with. I want you to wipe them all out.

I hope you have adequately prepared for her arrival. From your last report, it certainly sounds as if you have. Make sure you give me a full report of the events to unfold.

Did you capture the Gungans yet?

I would say Queen Amidala will have quite a surprise when she returns to Naboo. (evil laugh)

Yes, well as I tried telling you before, I do have certain connections with the Senate…connections that will guarantee our situation. I know some important people in the Senate.

As I said before, your work with your Senators was excellent. I was very appreciative of the fact that they suggested a committee to investigate, and that an ally agreed with them.

That is all I have to say at this time.

Darth Sidious
