Chapter 4 Ambassadors
"How do you think the trade viceroy will deal with the chancellor's demands?" Obi Wan asked and looked at his master who was staring out the plasti glass window.
"These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short." He said.
The Bridge
Nute Gunray and DAULTRAY DOFINE stood, stunned, before TC-14, the protocol droid.
"What?! What did you say?" he said in a clearly shaken voice.
"The Ambassadors are Jedi Knights, I believe." Tee-Cee-Fourteen said and stepped back a bit.
"I knew it! They're here to force a settlement." Separatist leader Dofine said.
"Distract them. I will contact Lord Sidious." Nute said and was prepared to move, only to stop as his companion exclaimed loudly his denial.
"Are you brain dead? I'm not going in there with two Jedi! Send the droid." Dofine turns to TC-14, who lets out a squeaky sigh.
CONFERENCE ROOM
Qui Gon and Obi Wan sit at the large conference table, it was bare and had some stains as if someone had spilled caff on it in the past, and was hastily covered than forgotten.
"Is it in their nature to make us wait this long?" Obi Wan asked impatiently and ran his hand along the desk only to wipe it with a frown because there was dust on his pointer finger. As his Jedi Master was going to speak the door was opened and entered the same droid from before; this time with a tray of drinks and food.
"No... I sense an unusual amount of fear for something as trivial as this trade dispute." Qui Gon said.
TC-14 walks over to Obi Wan who took a drink, that was blue colored and in a mug. The droid then walks over to Qui Gon who takes a drink as TC-14 leaves the room.
Tatooine
It is hot and the suns are high in the sky, and Anakin knows that if he wasn't a free person he would be in big bantha podder. But now that he is and his father with him, Anakin feels safe and very loved. Yet having known Luke Skywalker for a short time….. There was connection. So that was how they were walking hand in hand to Watto's Shop.
They are walking in the sandy desert looking at it for hundredth times. The Jedi could tell it was almost time to leave. And he had agreed that Anakin could work with Watto until the end of the week.
"So where are we going to live?" Ani asks and looks up to his father.
"The Jedi Temple of course, I'm going to speak to Master Yoda and everything will be okay…. But just so you know Ani… I may not be the one to teach you of the Force. I will be busy with other things and you should listen to the master that you are going to be having… Okay Ani?" Luke asks and lifts the boy to his hip.
Anakin squawks at that, but Luke just carries on.
"Yes Father… I love you no matter what."
Smiling Luke sets his 'son' down and they begin to fix the last repairs that need to be down in the shop.
Line Break
Qui Gon stood studying the star chart on a monitor.
"Here, Master. Tatooine... It's small, out of the way, poor... The Trade Federation has no presence there."
"How can you be sure?" Pakana asks.
"It's controlled by the Hutts..."
"You can't take Her Royal Highness there! The Hutts are gangsters ... If they discovered her ..." Panaka
" ... It would be no different than if we landed on a system controlled by the Federation ... except the Hutts aren't looking for her, which gives us an advantage."
Panaka takes a deep breath in frustration.
SPACE - FEDERATION BATTLESHIP
The Federation battleship looms over the planet of Naboo.
NUTE and RUNE sit around a conference table with a hologram of the Sith Lord.
"…And Queen Amidala, has she signed the treaty?" the Sith lord asks.
"She has disappeared, My Lord. One Naboo cruiser got past the blockade." Nute said with a sigh and tries his hardest not to look the other way from the terrifying Sith Master.
"I want that treaty signed." Sidious snarls.
"My Lord, it's impossible to locate the ship. It's out of our range." Nute kept coming up with excuses and wasn't noticing that it was making Sidious very angry.
" ...not for a sith..." Sidious practically snarls.
A second Sith Lord appears behind Darth Sidious. "This is my apprentice. Darth Maul. He will find your lost ship."
The hologram fades off.
"This is getting out of hand ... now there are two of them!" Nute says and as much as his face can portray he is terrified.
"We should not have made this bargain." His companion agrees.
A/N: Sorry about the long wait for updates, I try, though, and hope it was amazing!
