"Where were you Todo?" Bane growled as he secured his unconscious victim in his starship's cockpit.
"Next time, you can sneak past Senatorial defenses, plant a bomb at the Chancellor's door and steal a Republic Gunship from underneath the Clone Troopers' noses, and I'll get the Senator," Bane's small techno-service droid quipped as it settled itself into the cockpit, pulling switches and pressing buttons, bringing the ship's engines online.
"There is no outer door to the Chancellor's private wing," Bane said.
"I was speaking metaphorically," Todo said lifting his rectangular head trying to appear dignified.
"You were still metaphorically late Todo. I was seen, " Bane said closing the cockpit and starting up his starfighter's engines. "By two jedi, no less."

"Yes. It better," Bane growled. "We'll have to seek protection from the Hutts after this."
"Hyperspace coordinates ready. Let's get out of this system," Todo said as the ship left Coruscant's atmosphere, and entered the long, streaking tunnel of light into hyperspace.
