Correon,

So she had yours first? Women seem to have that affect on people don't they? Steal your heart then you have to try and steal theirs. Oh yes...I know what it is like, and I thank whomever made it possible for me and Sara to meet. That woman has been my lifeline from the get go.

We have discovered that the Trade Federation (supposedly) has taken over Naboo. The Jedi were able to free the Queen before fleeing the planet. Though their ship was damaged and they had to make a stop on Tatooine prior to coming here. There is to be an immediate meeting on this and the Chancellor has called it.

I just hope Finis can resolve this...they have proof now as to how far this has gotten. Terrible, my friend, terrible! It appears they were demanding the girl to sign a treaty giving the Trade Federation rights over Naboo! I feel for Palpatine now. He doesn't think that the Chancellor is going to handle this right. This isn't looking all that well, the Senate will be in an uproar over this. I have a bad feeling that this will become a turning point for the Republic...and not a good one.

I think the Senate is about to wake up and smell the caf, but not in a good way.

Correon...I'm worried at how this is going to turn out. I'll be heading for the meeting here shortly. I just hope whatever happens happens for the best. We must keep the people in mind...but with the other Senators do that? There are so many who are out for themselves and not for the people. I can't understand sometimes my friend...at how they think like that. Why? Why do they let greed and power corrupt them so?

Palpatine has already started a rallying of sorts. But he wants to out Finis...he is going to talk the Queen into a vote of no confidence. I surely hope it doesn't come to that. This will be devastating to the Republic...let alone Finis. He doesn't deserve that! He has tried his best! He can't help it if the other Senators are riled up against him. What leader doesn't have a few out there that are out to get him or her in some way?

I am worried...I will admit to that. I am not looking forward to this meeting, then again I am. I truly hope Naboo can be freed. But I have a feeling that this is going to go further than Naboo. That Naboo will only be the start of this.

Gunray. That one needs something...listen to me! This isn't like me to talk down fellow delegates. But something is amiss and I am unsure as what this turn out will be. Usually I can somewhat get an idea on how events will be played out. But this time...this time I am truly clueless.

That would be great if your wife could visit mine. Let me know what she says and if she wants to I will inform Sara so she knows to look forward to meeting her at the landing platform near the palace.

I can only hope for the best on this meeting...may whatever gods be out there shine for us, otherwise things could get ugly pretty darn quick.

Senator Antilles
