Darth Sidious strode down the ramp from his ship at Polis Massa, his black robes billowing, his anger like a stormcloud around him. How dare Obi Wan Kenobi take his apprentice from him? And to try to hide her! Did he really think she could go anywhere that her master wouldn't be able to find her?
A flick of his fingers ripped the doors off their hinges, and he entered the observation post of Polis Massa, followed by a contingent of clone troopers. Why would Kenobi bring her to an observation post? It wasn't somewhere a Jedi would normally go. He must have allies, maybe among the Senators. He would look into that later. Following Anneke's Force imprint, he made his way down an empty hallway. It looked like Kenobi had fled already. No matter. He would deal with him later as well.
He found Anneke in a medical centre, hooked up to machines that kept her unconscious. They had operated on her, and taken her children. He smiled. This was a development he couldn't have predicted or manipulated, but it worked into his plans perfectly. Her anger at losing her husband would be nothing beside her anger at losing her children. He had sensed that her feelings toward Obi Wan were yet conflicted, that she could not truly see her former master as her enemy. Now, she would hate him. Oh, yes. This was perfect.
A medic stepped out of an office to confront the Sith Lord. "What are you doing in here?" he demanded, putting himself between Sidious and Anneke.
"I have come for my apprentice," Sidious replied. Despite himself, he was impressed with the medic's bravery.
"My patient is still recovering from the surgery," the medic retorted. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
Sidious smiled, and lifted his hands. Crackling energy burst from his fingertips, sending the medic to the floor in convulsions. "Get a medical capsule," he ordered his troopers. "We'll transfer her to the ship immediately." He watched the medic struggle against the lightning, face and body contorted in agony. To his disappointment, it didn't last long, and the medic's body went limp, lifeless.
Turning away, he walked beside Anneke as the troopers maneuvered the floating capsule that held her through the hallways. He laid one hand on the side of the capsule, watching her sleep. Everything was going according to plan.
