Note 7
Senator Bail,

I have told Senator Palpatine that I am willing to offer my assistance in this terrible situation. Things are looking bad for Naboo. You tell me that the Trade Federation has supposedly taken over Naboo?

The Jedi are alive and rescued the Queen? Good!!!!!!!

They're on their way to Coruscant? I can't wait to see them. I hope that everything works out for her and that she gets here soon. I was very glad to hear that the Queen is on her way here.

So their ship was damaged beyond repair and they had to land on a planet called Tatooine? Do you know when they'll be able to get the replacement parts for the ship? I hope soon so that they can come here.

If you hear anything, be sure to let me know.

Well I look forward to meeting the Queen and hearing her position on the situation, just as I am sure everyone else is too.

Yes, I was attracted to my wife the moment I met her, and my love for her grew…and I desired nothing less than for her to be my wife. I suppose that is how love works, eh? Yes, but pursuing her was the most honorable thing I have had the pleasure of doing. Sounds like you had a similar experience with Sara.

The proof…the knowledge that this situation has gotten so far out of control, seems to be ignored by other Senators. Many question the validity, or whether the Senate should even make an issue of this.

No, we cannot allow this to continue. How can a perfectly sovereign planet be handed over to a greedy group called the Trade Federation? If Palpatine doesn't think the Chancellor will act on this, what does he suggest be done about it? Yes, this does seem to be a turning point, but perhaps we are overreacting. Maybe this will all come to past, and will be forgotten within a year.

The current events of late also concern me, but hopefully all will turn out well. This is a test of democracy, a test for the Republic. If it functions as we always hoped it would, it should be strong enough to hold this situation.

We can only hope that what the corrupt Senators are will be clearly seen by the rest, and by their people, and other, non-corrupt Senators will be able to take their place. We must work to expose them.

You are sure that Palpatine wants to out Finis? Are you certain that he desires to talk the Queen into calling a vote of no confidence? Surely there must be another way around this issue. Finis is a good man, who has a lot to deal with at the moment. I believe he is trying his best. He cannot do this alone. Maybe…maybe a committee should be formed to help advise him, to help him work through these rough issues.

You're right…no matter how great a leader, how good a person, how dedicated someone is to a position, someone is always going to be there who has something against a specific individual. It is very sad.

The issue certainly touches something deeper than Naboo…it touches the ability for the Senate to function, the integrity of Senators individually, and priority of things…

I suppose nothing can be made clear until the Queen arrives.

I have contacted my wife, and she has agreed to visit yours. She seemed to take to the idea very well. Please inform your wife that mine will be coming tomorrow morning.

Well, here we are, getting ready for another Senate meeting. I will talk to you later.

Senator Correon
