Supreme Chancellor Palpatine,
I would like to congratulate you on the success of the parade. It was enjoyable for both Anakin, myself, and those attending. Anakin thanks you for the trophy yet again, even though he thanks you receiving the trophy. Anakin is quite bright and enjoys learning. He learns rather quickly and he is progressing as well as anyone can expect.
I am glad that you are taking the necessary precautions with security. Once can never be too cautious. I'm sure the Jedi will assist you in the future as the need for security of the Republic increases.
Our findings about the Sith are very minimal. The body of the apprentice that I dealt with has not been recovered. All that we know is that he was well trained and that someone very powerful trained him. The only question is who? Unfortunately we have no leads as of yet. It seems that every time we get close to an answer our efforts are stopped short. There seems to be a connection.
