Chancellor Palpatine,
Thank you for your encouragement and words concerning the battle. I believe that we will succeed, even if you have doubts about it. The Gunjans are our last hope, since the small army we had to begin with is near to destruction. What you said about them might be correct, but that doesn't mean that we won't try our hardest. I promise you that I would rather die than allow my people to be brought into oppression. I believe you're right about the fact that my death will cause this, but I'm going to do everything in my power to prevent this. I have skilled warriors with me and the Jedi are also a much needed help to us. They are battling a Sith right now.
I am taking caution with each move I make, but you must remember that this is a battle and I can't stop and think everything little thing through. I'm simply doing the best I can with what I've been given.
The battle is almost over now and we're gaining ground. The Gunjans have come through for us because the droids' shields are down. I think we might win back our freedom. I can't go into any further details now because I have to get back to the battle.
Queen Amidala
