Anuvuin: episode # 20 The Naboo Crisis
Part 2
Previously: Dalben and Amidala were talking when Arawn burst in, delivering the news of the king’s sudden illness. A little more of Sidious’ plan has been revealed, and Arawn now understands the deepest secret within it. Amidala has just been elected Queen of the Naboo.
Now, to the Trade Federation…Nute Gunray says to Rune Haako, “Yes, I have assurances from Darth Sidious. They set up this Queen Amidala person as ruler, so now we have permission to populate the planet. Not an invasion yet…but you know. At least land our droids.” Run,” Good.” They had asked permission form the Senate if they could go to Naboo just to start up a little thing. The Senate had agreed. They now have occupied the planet, and Queen Amidala is not happy about his. So, she says, “I’ve had enough of the Trade Federation. They’ve gone too far. I’m going to the Senate.” She contacted Palpatine. Luckily Palpatine was in his Coruscant office. Palpatine looks t the flashing message and reads the # code. “Naboo…” He picks up, “Senator Palpatine here.” “Senator Palpatine, this is queen Amidala…and KI need a special favor…” Palpatine smiles. “Yes, I’m listening.” Amidala says, “Are you aware, Senator, of The Trade Federations’ presence on Naboo?” Palpatine says, “How could I not be? The Senate is bogged down with procedures regarding them.” “Senator, I do not think their presence here is friendly…they have gone too far. There are BATTLE DROIDS here…some kind of droid army. Can you get the Supreme Chancellor for me?” Palpatine really doesn’t want to get Valorum involved, but he knows the Chancellor must be involved for everything to work out. He sighs. “Yes, I’ll transfer you over to him in a minute, hang on…” Palpatine contacts the Chancellor, hoping he’s out. This was not exactly how he hoped to get Valorum involved. Valorum picked up, “Palpatine, what is it?” “The Queen of Naboo, Queen Amidala wishes to speak with you. I can I transfer the call to you.” “Yes, I’ve been meaning to speak with her…” “Here she is…” Palpatine connects the two while drumming his fingers impatiently on his armchair. Patience was not one of Palpatine’s strengths. Amidala explained the situation to the Supreme Chancellor. “Were’ kind of busy right now, but I’ll tell you what, I’ll send ambassadors. Is that sufficient?” “That’s fin, anything.” The Supreme Chancellor nods…”I think this is a job for the Jedi…the Trade Federation does seem to heave gone a bit far…’ he says to himself. He pushes the Jedi #. Yoda picked up. “Jed, you need Jedi…” “Yes, (he had told Amidala’s story to Yoda). I need two of them.” “All right, I’ll sent them out right away.” “Thank you.” He broke connection with Yoda, and then got back to Palpatine to tell him 2 ambassadors would be coming, and Palpatine got back to Amidala. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi happened to be on planet at the time. Yoda contacted them and asked if they’d be interested. Qui-Gon agreed to it. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan left for Naboo. (Now here’s where The Phantom Menace comes into play. I’m going to have to shorten up the movie a little. I’ll try to follow the movie as best I can…I’m going to have to modify it a little. I’m not exactly sure how yet…this is going to be weird…because, while Death Star is the same timing as A New Hope, it’s not following the movie exactly, so I’m not sure how this is going to turn out. I’ll try my best.) Okay, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan arrive at the trade Federations’ control ship. They’re escorted inside by some kind of protocol droid (TC-14). Obi-Wan says, “There’s something not right here, master.” Qui-Gon says, “Yeah, I’ll have to agree with you on that one.” “It’s not exactly here, Master. It seems to be elsewhere.” “Obi-Wan, concentrate on the present…” “Yes master.” Rune says to Nute, “Um, we have a problem. I think those ambassadors are Jedi Knights.” “I guess we’d better contact Lord Sidious.” They punch in a code. Sidious knows it’s from the Federation, and there is a knock on his door. “In a minute, “ he yells to whoever’s outside. “Give me half an hour, I’m busy.” He quickly puts on his Sith outfit and says, “What is it?” “Ambassadors from the Supreme Chancellor have arrived. They’re Jedi…what should we do?” Sidious was surprised. He hadn’t expected the ambassadors to be Jedi. “The Chancellor should never have brought them into this. Kill them immediately.” Until next time!
