(32 BBY, Space, Naboo)
A Consular-class cruiser named Radiant VII had just jumped out of the Hyperspace as it was approaching the peaceful Mid-rim planet of Naboo. However, one could see the planet itself was being under a blockade. It was being blocaked by Lucrehulk-class Battleships, belonging to a megacorporation called the Trade Federation.
Inside the cruiser, two pilots were sitting in the pilot seats, a Human female captain, Maoi Madakar, and a Human male co-pilot, Antidar Williams. Behind them stood two men, wearing brown cloaks over them.
"Captain." The taller, older man said.
"Yes, sir?" Madakar asked.
"Tell the we wish to board at once."
Madakar begun to press buttons on the computer, before the communication screen above them turned on. On the other end of the communication stood a green-skinned male Neimoidian and the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Nute Gunray.
"With all due respect, the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately."
"Yes, of course." Gunray said. "As you know, our blockade is perfectly legal, and we'd be happy to receive the ambassadors."
Radiant VII flew towards the flagship of the Federation fleet, Saak'ak. It flew inside the hangar-bay before landing, drawing the attention of the B1-series battle droids and the Vulture droid starfighters.
Exiting the cruiser, the two cloaked men walked to the front entrance. As the door slid open, they were greeted by a silver-plated TC-series protocal droid.
"I'm TC-14 at your service." The protocal droid introduced itself. "This way, please."
TC-14 started leading the ambassadors further into the battleship, before they reached one of flagship's conference rooms. TC-14 stopped by the door, while the ambassadors walked inside.
"We are greatly honored by your visit, Ambassadors. Make yourselves comfortable. My master will be with you shortly."
TC-14 left the room. Once the door slod closed, the men removed their hodd off of their heads. The taller 48-year old man with a long graying-brown hair, Qui-Gon Jinn, and a younger 25-year old man with s short auburn hair, with a ponytail in the back and a braid, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Obi-Wan said.
"I don't sense anything." Qui-Gon said.
"It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... elsewhere, elusive."
The Master and the Apprentice started walking slowly towards the windows, passing by the large conference table.
"Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan." Qui-Gon said. "Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs."
"But Master Yoda said i should be mindful of the future."
"But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the Living Force, young Padawan."
"Yes, Master."
As Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan started gazing out of one of the windows into the deep space, Obi-Wan pondered something for a second.
"How do you think this trade viceroy will deal with the Chancellor's demands?"
"These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short."
Meanwhile, on the bridge of the flagship, TC-14 was reporting the ambassador's arrival to Viceroy Gunray, who was joined by another Neimoidian, mottled colored and the captain of the droid control ship, Daultay Dofine.
