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.�
