Chapter 3 - A call for Help

While the rest of the planet prepare and wait, Prime Minister Saffo is at Nahsu Square. Saffo is sending a message to Chancellor Palpatine and the Republic, in hopes their longtime relationship with them will help OP red go according to plan.

"Message sent" the holo-comm. echoed. Now all Prime Minister Saffo and the rest of Nahsu Minor can do is wait.

On Coruscant Master Jedi Yoda, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, and Obi-Wan are in Chancellor Palpatine's office discussing the progress of the war in the outer rim territories. Before they could wrap up they are disrupted by noise. *beep *beep *beep. Palpatine's assistant calling him with an urgent message.

Palpatine gets up from his chair, "I apologize Master Jedi's, It seems I have an urgent message. Please excuse me one moment." He walks up the few steps up to his desk and sits down on his chair, his long draped cape following his path. "What is it that is so urgent, Poppily?" he asks his assistant.

"Sir, I have a message relay from the planet Nahsu Minor. It's from Prime Minister Joillio Saffo. He says its urgent. Starting with "Invasion Imminent". Poppily replies with a worrisome tone.

"The message I would like to see also if you don't mind," Master Yoda says after overhearing his conversation.

Chancellor Palpatine gets up, "Of course Master Yoda, Please gather around. Poppily please send through the message." He then presses' a button and the shades close. Darkening the room making the matter even more depressing.

He pushes a button that plays the message. Prime Minister Saffo appears on the Hologram. The message plays:

"Chancellor Palpatine, I come to you as Prime Minister of Nahsu Minor, as a Murachaun but most importantly a friend. Long has our two governments lived in peace, our trading routes and resources have helped both planets in a lot of good ways. we serve each other as both third parties. Although we choose to stay a neutral planet, We have helped out the Republic cause in this war by letting you folks refuel and resupplies your naval fleets on Nahsu Minor. Today I ask you for a favor in return. Our planet has been threatened by the separatist droid leader Count Dooku. If he were not met and he said he would invade."

Saffo then replays his and Dookus conversation. He continues with his message.

"We are a simple civilization with no grand army. We have a small military and will fight for our planet. Farmers and townspeople across the planet will protect what is theirs. We beg of you to intervene and send support, in exchange for our allegiance to the Republic. They will be here at any moment. Delay is not an option. Please Chancellor, your our only help."

The message ends. The room is quiet. Palpatine gets up from his desk with a look on his face as if in deep thought. "Well, I think it's obvious the action's that need to be taken in this matter." The Chancellor says to the Jedi who surround his desk.

Mace Windu puts his hands on his waist, one eyebrow higher than the other. His thinking face. "I agree your majesty, Master Fisto and his fleet are available and on stand by."

Obi-Wan tucks his arms in a cross over his chest. "I too will attend Master Fisto with my fleet. With Anakin and Ahsoka on duty in the outer rim territories, I find myself available for the time being."

"Agree I do, Murachauns need our help. Immediate support we will send." Master Yoda says as the group agrees on what is to be done.

"It is settled then, Master Fisto and Master Obi-Wan will go and help the people of Nahsu Minor. We will prepare right away. May the force be with us all." Mace Windu Replies before everyone is dismissed from the meeting.
