Note 20
Four years after the Naboo Invasion
Three years later

Correon,

We sure did go back to Naboo and have a short vacation there. She really enjoys the place as well as me. It is so peaceful there.

I know my friend; it just makes me sick to see how the Trade Federation has gotten off so easily. You know they have some type of hold on the system when it goes as badly as that. Sad indeed.
No…not a word about Finis. I have literally used about all my points of contacts that I could muster to try and figure out where he is and his status. I'm really worried about him. For all we know, he could be dead. It pains me to think of that, but I'm beginning to wonder…

Palpatine has potential if he can get the Senators and their delegations to work together, but even Finis had problems with that. There are just too many of us to try and work cohesively together. Though maybe one day… someday down the line.

I've heard that Anakin is doing fairly well, if not exceeding in some areas of his training. The boy (well young man now I should say…) is extremely strong in the Force. I actually was able to talk to one of the Padawans who has him in his classes and the kid spoke of how strong he was in the Force (Anakin), but not all that knowledgeable with social skills. I had to chuckle at that. I mean it is expected that a child who went thru the issues Anakin did wouldn't be up to social standards. Who would if one was a slave for 10 years of your life?

Oh things are going well on Alderaan. I've truly enjoyed my time with my beloved wife and people. I've got to sit down and work some little issues (for example; minor as in a family disputing over whose property line is where). I know it isn't minor to the family who's arguing, but it's minor to me when it's that instead of worlds arguing over something! It was a nice change for a while!

Oh I agree that this is troublesome being so quite lately, but Sara and I have truly enjoyed it! I bet you have! Have you done anything while it's been so calm?

Oh I have faith we'll get our signatures. Amidala will be joining our ranks as a Senator I hear, so that will be wonderful. I believe she will join our cause. We just have to find a few more.

Take care of yourself and enjoy the time as well!

Two years later

Correon,

I am relieved that the Trade Federation was dropped, but I also worry that they can now freely go underground as you called it. A little too worrisome, if you know what I mean. We can't observe their workings now. They can blindside us if they want. Help me keep an eye out to ensure this doesn't happen. I know it will be hard…but we have to keep vigilant of their doings.

I was amazed, but not shocked of the riots. I can believe Nute would play that dirty. I bet they left on their own accord. I won't be shocked if they join some faction to cause the Republic even more trouble…they are trouble in itself!

The Dantooine activity is puzzling, maybe we'll find out later one what exactly that is about.

Keep a good eye out and I will as well.

I am glad that she did decide to support our cause. Perhaps with her help we can get the last few signatures we need for our committee. The name does have a nice ring to it doesn't it? I agree…sometimes we seem to be the only ones trying to do something for the Republic.

This Count Dooku…he seems to be an interesting character, if not puzzling. I don't know much about Serenno with it being so far out, but it amazes me that he has made this move. Let alone allowed that…criminal into his band. Can you imagine that? The Trade Federation joining him? This could be bad…they have so much to utilize…this could cause a danger for us all.

I told you, do you remember? I wouldn't be shocked at all and I am not. I'm appalled that a distinguished man (well the Count appears as such…) would allow the Trade Federation to join him, but then again there are funds with them on his side. Who knows what the true goals are… The letter was so Nute, wasn't it? I laughed, though inside only. I knew this day would come, but I'm also not shocked at the childish letter.

Let us hope this doesn't cause a shadow to cross over the Republic. I have a bad feeling about this all, but maybe that's just my supper I ate a little while ago.

Write when you can, and hopefully the gods will be with us on this mess.

Take care,

Bail
