Correon,

Well it does appear that the Trade Federation has taken over…otherwise this vote of no confidence would not have gone through. Let me tell you my friend…I have no idea if this was good or bad. I am unsettled at this whole mess. Like I was telling Sara…I am uncertain as to what to do. And that disturbs me. I have never been like this.

Yes, the Jedi returned with the Queen. She was granted an immediate session with the Senate and that's when Palpatine probably talked with her about a no confidence vote. I don't know what to do about this…not really. I was a good friend with Finis and his family and I hate to see this happen. It tore him up! Did you not see his face when the Queen spoke up about the vote? And the fact that it went through! I don't know…

The Jedi have pledged to help with the Naboo situation, so that is all well and good. Hopefully this will be resolved soon and maybe the Senate will slowly return to its routine…not that I'm thinking it will. I am afraid that this is the beginning of a change of events that we are not ready for.

I assume they were able to get the parts needed…something about a pod race won by a boy. So who knows about that, though it makes for a good chuckle I guess. The boy must be special indeed if he won something like that. Those races are dangerous!

Well I only got to see her in passing, not really talk with her. And there is a rumor that she's leaving again for Naboo with the two Jedi that were with her earlier. So perhaps things will be resolved indeed soon.

I am so happy for you, my friend! Women sometimes are what keep us going. Let me tell you…if it wasn't for Sara, sometimes I think I would go nuts!

Oh yes…with me and Sara it was nearly love at first sight and then it went from there. We are and have been so lucky.

I agree…it was all out there in the open, but the Senators did not acknowledge it! I have no idea why not…I swear sometimes these people get to me more than they should.

Things have gone downhill. I just hope that once this Trade Federation problem is resolved that things will settle down. Perhaps we can return to our regular schedules, but I highly doubt it. I don't want to sound so pessimistic, but if we can be blindsided by something as this…what does that imply for future problems?

I too, hope that the corrupted senators will be seen and weeded out. When the new Chancellor is elected…maybe, just maybe this might be done. But we can only hope, right?

As you can see…it did come down to the Vote. Sadly enough…

Yes…and Finis became the brunt of this situation. They used this problem to down play him and man did they do just that!

I hope changes do happen, but for the better, because if they turn for the worse. I don't know, Correon…I don't think the Republic could handle it if it gets much worse. I mean look at what this one incident caused and could still even cause further problems!

I have told Sara to expect her. She is all excited. I thank you for this…it will help her out probably help our wife out as well. Since neither of us are able to be with them due to all these meetings.

Well write when you can, I know all about these meetings… they're having one here in a second to decide who can possibly be up for taking Finis' place. I believe this is so wrong…but what can just two of us really do in a moment like this?
