*20 BBY, Coruscant/Space*
I didn't get much sleep, and before I knew it, we were on our way to the senate building. I watched as Detta shook Senator Amidala's hand. Her new outfit looked nice. I smiled under my helmet.
"Oh, it's you guys! I remember your first mission." The Senator always cared for us clones, and we for her.
"Good morning Senator Amidala!" Crack-up violently shook her hand. "You look ravishing today!"
"Thank you."
"Let's get you on the ship. We have a long trip!" Detta guided the senator. She was without her handmaidens. "Another diplomatic mission?" Detta asked from the cockpit. She didn't turn her head, instead helping Verity to punch in coordinates.
"Yes." Senator Amidala replied. "Say, General Vann." Detta still did not turn her head, rather making an inquisitive sound. "Do you know anything about the Force and dreams?" This got Detta's attention. She whipped her head.
"Visions?"
"Yes!"
"Yes, I know about them." Detta raised a brow. She sat beside Senator Amidala.
"Can I ask some questions?"
"Sure."
"How certain of them can you be?"
"Do you mean how reliable are they?"
"Yes."
"The Force most often tells the truth, but your emotions can get in the way and cloud the vision, therefore hiding the truth."
"I see." The senator seemed to make a mental note.
"May I ask why you inquired?"
"Just curiosity." The senator laid a hand on her stomach.
