A/N: I hope this isn't going too fast, I'm trying to wrap up the Sidious part of the story so I can move on.

Chapter 7

A what?

The Jedi were stunned to say the least. Yoda however remained passive. "Explain this, you must Captain." he said

Keller nodded and began the story of how he was looking at the Republic database and his suspicions began with Order 66. The Jedi were aware of it but they dismissed it as a technicality. He then went on to play the recording of the voice suspected to be that of Darth Sidious. Then played the voice of Palpatine after he was given emergency powers. He went on to say "If the Jedi became aware of this and made a move against him and he defeated them. He could use that move to precipitate a massacre using Order 66 and the Clone Armies now under the Command of Jedi Generals."

"Suspicious we are of the Chancellor's actions so far. Hhmmmmmmmmmm, The Dark Side of the Force clouds everything. Including the Chancellor. Meditate on this I must." said Yoda

"You must not mention this to anyone for now. Even an ally like Senator Amidala. If you do decide to make a move against the Chancellor, I suggest you inform the Security Committee in a private session away from the Chancellor. Show them the evidence we have. Perhaps you can get them to issue order 65. Which essentially invalidates the Chancellor's power until a new leader is elected." said Keller

"Thank for this information Captain. You will have our decision within the hour." said Windu.

"In the meantime I believe we have a tour to conduct. Please follow me."

Not one word was spoken about the information revealed in the conference room. As Captain Keller went on about the general specifications of his ship the Agamemnon, the Jedi discuss among themselves via the force what to do.

They made their decision by the end of the tour.

Senator Amidala had finished her tour and was waiting for them in the conference room. With the Captain's permission she contacted three other Senators from the security council. They were beamed aboard and escorted to the conference room. The Jedi and the Senators sat at the table while an ensign poured water into glasses. Captain Keller once again told his suspicions about the Chancellor ending with the voice recordings and the comparisons between 'Darth Sidious' and Palpatine. The Senators eyes widened when he told them that the computer match their voice patterns with %95 certainty.

"Even with this new evidence I remain skeptical. If you can find irrefutable evidence of this plot against the Jedi we will of course issue order 65. But until then we can do nothing." said Senator Organa.

"I've been authorized by Starfleet Command with the cooperation of the Jedi to break into Palpatine's private files and find out if such evidence exists."

"You want to break into Chancellor Palpatine's Private files? That's impossible. The encryption is far too complex."

"Keller to Lt. Adams, report to the conference room."

"Aye sir."

"My tactical officer who conducted the initial investigation broke the encryption for Sidious' communication with Nute Gunray in three hours."

"That's impressive." said Windu

"She graduated at the top of her class in tactical training. She took advanced tactical and cryptology later in her career just before she joined my crew."

Lt. Adams walked in at that time.

"Captain?"

"Yes Lt. please sit down...how long do you think it will take you to break into Palpatine's private files?"

"I won't know for sure until I have a look at them. But if it's anything like the encryption used by Darth Sidious ten years ago, I should be able to get in, in about the same amount of time. Of course before I can do anything, we have to break into the Chancellor's office so I can copy the files without decrypting them."

"And you have a plan for breaking into the office?" asked Amidala

"Yes but I'll need a Jedi to come with me."

"Why?" asked Windu

"If I went in myself and got caught, then I'd be tried in the courts of the Republic and there would be little Captain Keller would do for me. However a Jedi could conceivably head off any threats of my being discovered."

"What about all the detection gear in the Chancellor's office that prevents a person from doing what you're proposing?" asked Organa

"If the Jedi that comes with me can be undercover as a maintenance man, perhaps repairing something in the office then he could disable those sensors and then send me some kind of signal. I can beam in, copy the files and beam out in less than an hour." she replied

"That's a very long time to be snooping around." said the Captain

"I've had experience in snooping. With a Jedi watching my back, I should be able to get the files relatively quickly." she said

"You realize of course if we support this, we could be convicted of treason alongside your espionage charges."

"I know Senator, which is why I won't fail. You have my word."

The Senators and Jedi left without mentioning a word to anyone about anything. Later that night Anakin Skywalker walked into the Chancellor's office dressed as maintenance. He began 'working' on the walls and disabled the recording devices and security in the office. Some watchful security guards came to investigate when the holocameras went out.

"I assure you the cameras will only be down for a short time." Anakin said as he waved his hand. "You may return to your post."

The guards eyes glazed over. "The cameras will be down a short time. Very well, I will return to my post. Alert me if something happens."

"You have my word." Anakin replied.

The security guard left the office. Once Anakin had disabled the remaining devices he tapped a hidden combadge tuned to an encrypted Starfleet comm. signal.

"Skywalker to Agamemnon, the drawbridge is down."

Lt. Adams appeared in the office and nodded to Anakin as she began working on the computer.

Utilizing skills she had learned in Section 31.
