Maeve was conflicted, not that she wasn't already. Corvus had moved Padmé offworld as soon as night fell leaving the Yonan sisters with yet again nothing to do. Maeve and Arya sat together, Amalia and Astrid beyond them. Rena burst into the room huffing as she rushed to her mother and grandmother.

"Where is Cordalia?" Rena breathed out and the others looked at each other in confusion. "Where is she?"

"The Chancellor asked to speak with her. She'll be with him now." Astrid told her daughter calmly.

"No, that's not. That's so not good." Rena began to pace and the Assassins watched her with worry in their eyes.

"Rena, what's wrong?" Arya asked the Fett girl.

"Palpatine is the Sith Lord the Jedi have been searching for." Amalia and Maeve shared a look.

"Yes, we know." Maeve responded as she locked eyes with her sister.

Rena's mouth gaped open in shock. "You knew?! If Cordalia's with him now, then..."

"It had begun." Amalia told the Assassins. "Zarina is off world with Obi-Wan. He will keep her safe. The rest of us are not so safe. We must defend each other and whatever happens will happen for a reason." Amalia turned to her granddaughter. "I need you to stay here. Or go offworld. To Naboo or Tatooine. Or even to Kamino." Rena nodded as a response that she heard and the others leapt into action.

"Only pack what you need." Maeve told the others.

"What about the dragons?" Astrid asked them sternly with a frown on her face.

"Palpatine will have them killed first." Arya said grimly as she tied on her knives. "As much as it pains me to say it, we must leave them behind. For all our safety." The Assassins strode from the room each whispering their own goodbyes to Rena.

Cordalia whipped her head around at the sound of the door sliding open. In strolled Mace Windu and three others Jedi Masters. Cordalia nearly groaned in disgust at the sight of the Jedi. Palpatine merely turned around in his chair calmly. "Master Windu. I take it General Grievous has been destroyed then." Palpatine maintained a calm demeanor throughout his conversation which impressed Cordalia. "I must say you're here sooner than expected."
