Darth Sidious's speeder approaches a beautiful, lush, green planet. This planet is Naboo, and Naboo is having its senatorial elections.
The speeder lands and Sidious gets out. It is a warm, summer day.
Wearing normal civilian clothes and his eyes now properly colored, Sidious approaches the planet's capital building. He enters.
"Can I help you?" asks a woman behind a desk. Sidious turns to her, and stares deep into her eyes. The woman stares back, and her eyes cloud up.
"You will register me as a native named Palpatine." orders Sidious.
"I will register you as a native named Palpatine." the woman repeats.
"You will make me a candidate in the senatorial elections." Sidious grins.
"I will make you a candidate in the senatorial elections." the woman repeats.
"You will do it now."
"I will do it now." The woman begins to type into her datapad, obeying the Sith Lord's commands.
The Republic's end has begun.
