These are individual responses to each person's review for the last chapter:
MissNaye: I'm glad you had yourself a good laugh!
G-Anakin 13: I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Nubian Chick: The same with you too!
Sica Meni: Here you are!
Twisted Words (): The question I was talking about was the, as you put it, Telly/Obi pairing. The reason I'm doing a chapter every three days now is because I don't want to get to caught up to what I'm writing now (the thirty-first chapter of Episode VIII). I have about half of Episode VII typed up and will probably begin typing VIII soon, it's just that VIII is probably going to be the most in depth of all of them, having, if not more then, fifty chapters. It wasn't my intention to do it that long but as time progressed I just kept getting all these great ideas and there's was so much I want to do for the episode. I should have it finished by the end of the month though (I hope so anyway). I did post the Chapter contents for this story in the first chapter, but during one of the editions I took it out. I can put it back though if you like. In all, this chronicle will have 87 chapters, there being 37 after this, before we move onto to the next chronicle, The Domination of the Sith. Hope that answered all your questions.

Episode V: Revenge of the Sith
Chapter 6: Grievous on Utapau
Utapau was a sinkhole world in the Utapau system of the Tarabba Sector in the Outer Rim Territories. Orbited by nine moons, Utapau was the adoptive homeworld of the Pau'ans and the Utai, more commonly referred to collectively as the Utapauns. These species lived in the many sinkholes, caused by erosion from an underground sea, that littered the planet's scrub-covered surface. It was on this planet that the Headquarters of the Confederacy of the Independent Systems was located.
General Grievous arrived at the base ten hours after arriving aboard the primary capital ship of the Confederate Navy, the Lucrehulk-class battleship. It that had been waiting in the destruction of the Coruscant space battle aftermath for her.
Once successfully escaping The Invisible Hand in her escape pod she'd flown to the battleship and was disgusted to discover that it was just about to make the jump to lightspeed without her. Once she boarded the Neimoidian Commander started apologizing and saying how happy he was to see her alive for they all had thought she had died or was captured. She quickly silenced him by barking to make haste for Utapau.
Upon arriving aboard her Sheathipede-class shuttle, Arica marched off the ship to be greeted by the entire Leadership Council of the Confederacy of the Independent Systems. The members of the Council were as follows:
Nute Gunray – Viceroy of the Trade Federation
Wat Tambor – Foreman of the Techno Union
San Hill – Chairman of the InterGalactic Banking Clan
Poggle the Lesser – Head of the Geonosian Industries, Archduke of Geonosis
Passel Argente – Magistrate of the Corporate Alliance, Senator of the Fakir Sector
Shu Mai – President of the Commerce Guild
Po Nudo – Head of the Hyper-Communications Cartel, Senator of the Dufilvian Sector
Tikkes – Head of the Quarren Isolation League, Senator of the Calamari Sector
The other members were the General herself, Sidious, and now formerly Count Dooku.
"Welcome General," San Hill greeted. She merely nodded and continued on her way, motioning towards two of her Magna Guards, who began to flank her.
"Uh, General." Shu Mai hesitated.
"Yes?" she asked, continuing on her way and refusing to stop. If the Council fools really wanted to speak with her they'd just have to keep up. They all did so in a brisk walk. "Lord Sidious has commanded to speak with you as soon as you arrived."
"Yes I expected as much," she said continuing on with her stride.
The Council leaders continued to follow her.
"Where is Count Dooku?" Rune Haako, Aide and Confidential Secretary to Viceroy Gunray, asked.
She gave a smirk of satisfaction before answering. "Dead."
"Dead?" the dumbfounded Neimoidian repeated.
"Dead." Arica reaffirmed. She finally stopped and turned to look at her fellow Separatists leaders. They all were sharing the same dumbfounded look as Haako.
"But how? When?" Gunray wanted to know.
Arica smirked. She never liked Gunray all that much and the feeling was mutual. Her Magna Droid bodyguards and the electrostaffs they wielded were made through the Trade Federation and he was always complaining about how she didn't need the droids or staffs. He said she was simply using them as a way to bankrupt the Trade Federation. Arica had scoffed at this saying, "You don't need me to bankrupt your stupid Federation Gunray. You do it yourself with all those luxury gowns you buy yourself and all those stupid battle droids your company makes."
"The when," Arica finally said to Gunray's questions, "would be a few hours ago and the how would be by Anakin Skywalker."
She let this information sink in a few moments before she continued. "And if I'm not mistaken that now makes me the new Head of State of the Confederacy of the Independent Systems. After all Lord Sidious did say that should anything happen to Dooku the Council leadership would than fall to me and if anything should happen to me the Council would fall to Gunray."
At Gunray's look of glee she added, "But that Viceroy I'm so sorry to say, is a day that will never happen." She laughed nastily, while Gunray scowled, and turned tail, strutting off to the communications center.
After hitting a few buttons to start the transmission a large holograph of Darth Sidious appeared. Arica instantly bowed, for he was the only person she showed any sort of reverence to.
"Yes Lord Sidious."
"General Grievous," he greeted. "I suggest you move the Separatists leaders to Mustafar."
Arica once again bowed. "It will be done my lord."
"The end of the war is near Arica. Everything is going exactly as planned."
Arica smirked. "Including the lose of Count Dooku?"
Although most of his Sith hood covered his face Arica could hear the smirk in his voice. "His death was a necessary lose. Soon I will have a new apprentice. One far younger, and more powerful."
"One perhaps by the name of Anakin Skywalker," Arica cackled.
Sidious let out a slight cackle. "But of course my dear General. But of course."
