| As Shade searches for evidence of a Dark Lord, he begins at the place suggested by Mace Windu.
| |
 | 
Shade: (thinking) …no one here…based on the photos…the holo-computer should be directly below…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …begin security jam..grappling hook secure…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …for the Republic!…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …work quickly…security jam temporary…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …tap into holo-computer…record transmission locations…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …no unknown locations…only recent transmissions found…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …strange…check the historical records…
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: …unfortunately, the Chancellor is running behind schedule.
Shade: (thinking) …voices…coming this way…abort! abort!…
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: Please allow me to apologize for…Guards, please turn on the lights!
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: That’s better. As I was saying, Governor Tarkin, please accept my apologies for the Chancellor’s delay. He is a very busy man during these times, you understand.
| |
| 
Tarkin: Think nothing of it. We did not have a meeting scheduled. I simply wanted to give him an update on our latest project.
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: Yes, of course. I’m sure the Chancellor will be most eager to hear about your progress.
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: Guards! Contact the Chancellor’s personal security. Notify them the Chancellor has an important visitor waiting.
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: The Supreme Chancellor is always accompanied by his Royal Guards, as decreed by the Senate. He hopes with the passing of the Galactic Security measure, he will no longer need the entourage.
| |
| 
Senate Guard: Sir, the Chancellor is already en route. He will be here shortly.
Mas Amedda: Good. His prior meeting must have gone well.
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: Be sure to mention that Governor Tarkin is waiting.
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: And don’t forget to erase the communications log.
| |
| 
Mas Amedda: Just a security precaution, you understand. Never can be too sure who else is listening. While we wait, would you care to join me for a refreshment?
| |
| 
Tarkin: Thank you, Senator.
Mas Amedda: Did the Chancellor ever tell you the story behind that iron sculpture? What a fiasco that was!
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …deleted the message…but not the historical records…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …searching…searching…found it…need the recipient’s…location…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …last transmission sent from…an unpopulated section on Coruscant…
| |
| 
Shade: (thinking) …coordinates off the map…not part of the working Capital…known as…The Works?
