Chapter 2: A risky assignment
The Jedi Council was now in session. They were still unraveling the mystery of Darth Sidious.
"If control the Senate Sidious does, great influence on Palpatine he has," says Master Yoda. The Jedi Master slowly moved his head, his green ears twitching.
"The dark side of the Force is involved in this plot. The Jedi would have to have to take control of the Senate if and when this problem gets out of hand," says Mace Windu, a senior member on the Council and a skillful warrior.
"Master, we'll need someone to watch over the Chancellor. If he's influenced by Sidious, he'll have relations with him somehow. He could possibly be threatened. Someone would need to protect him," Obi-Wan said. "You mean spy on Palpatine! That's something we'd never do. We can't do that!" exclaims Anakin.
"Patience, young Skywalker. The Jedi serve the Senate, not the Chancellor," says Mace Windu. "Yes, Master, but ever since the Clones Wars Palpatine has retained power of the Senate. We'll have to do something." Obi-Wan remarks.
"A dangerous time for the Republic this is. Careful eye on Palpatine we should keep." Yoda says, lowering his leathery brow. "We should send someone to look after the Chancellor." Master Windu says. "Security the Chancellor has, more stress it would add," remarks Yoda.
"Maybe we could send someone to report his views of the situation, instead of doing it behind closed doors." Ki-Adi Mundi says. "Hmm, a protector you say, Master Mundi," says Yoda. "Maybe I could do it, Masters. I am fairly aquainted with Palpatine," says Anakin.
"No, it must be someone young. Someone unfamiliar with politics and the Chancellor's business," suggests Mace Windu. "I think I may have someone in mind. A young knight named Fan Shang." Obi-Wan says. "Ah, and excellent choice Master Kenobi," says Master Yoda. "Tell young Shang to report to the next Council meeting," Master Windu says. "Yes Master," says Obi-Wan.
