| Unknown to Senator Bail Organa and the rest of the Senate, the rumored Cloning Facility on Coruscant, codename Perfidy, continues to operate deep under the planet’s surface, in a secret bunker whose location is only known to a select few.

Taun We: That concludes today’s session. We will continue tomorrow. Please resume your security patrols.
Trooper Hades: Thank you, Taun We.
| |
|
Taun We: And now back to work…
| |
|
Door slides open
Taun We: Hades, is that you? We will continue the training tomorrow—
| |
|
Commander Appo: Taun We — your services are no longer necessary. Consider this job terminated.
| |
|
Taun We: I’m in charge of this cloning facility, not the Republic.
Commander Appo: Not anymore…
| |
|
Tuan We: Noooo!!!
Commander Appo: Blast her!!!
Laser blasts!!!
| |
|
Commander Appo: Target has been eliminated.
| |
|
Trooper Hades: Did you hear something?
Trooper Crimson: Negative.
| |
|
At the same time, a secret transmission is being sent from The Works on Coruscant…
Darth Sidious: How goes the War, Lord Tyranus?
Count Dooku: Very good, My Lord. We have acquired several new systems during the Outer Rim sieges, including some without firing a single shot.
| |
|
Darth Sidious: Excellent. Where are the Separatist leaders now?
Count Dooku: They have been moved to Cato Nemodia for the time being. Viceroy Gunray preferred to be a safe distance away from the action, of course.
| |
|
Darth Sidious: And the battle on Oner?
Count Dooku: The battle is on schedule. The young Utapaun warrior is proving to be very……useful.
| |
|
Count Dooku: Commander OOM-12 has the Clone Army on the run. It will not be long until we secure a victory.
| |
|
Count Dooku: We are also tracking several Jedi that arrived with the Clone Army, no doubt to reclaim Master Tiin.
| |
|
Darth Sidious: You have done well, Lord Tyrannus. But be mindful. The Jedi are not to be underestimated.
| |
|
Count Dooku: Then, do I have your approval to proceed with the final part of our plan, Master?
| |
|
Darth Sidious: Yes…the time has come.
Shade: (thinking)……he’s here……finally……
| |
|
Darth Sidious: Inform General Grievous that he may begin eliminating the Jedi……beginning with Master Tiin.
Count Dooku: Yes, my Master.
| |
|
Darth Sidious: Except for Kenobi and Skywalker. You must deal with them personally.
| |
|
Count Dooku: Finally the time has come for young Skywalker. His destiny lies with me.
| |
|
Darth Sidious: We will deal with Skywalker in due time.
Count Dooku: Forgive me, Lord Sidious. Your orders then?
| |
|
Shade: (thinking)……it IS him……THE Darth Sidious……
| |
|
Darth Sidious: Eliminate Obi-Wan Kenobi. His death will be the first step towards securing Skywalker’s fate.
Count Dooku: It will be done, my Lord.
| |
|
Darth Sidious: All loose ends on Coruscant have been……taken care of. Everything is going as I have foreseen.
| |
|
Darth Sidious: The time for illusions is over.
Count Dooku: As is the reign of the Jedi Order.
| |
|
Shade: (thinking)…no time to wait for slow-footed Jedi……have to act now……
| |
|
Shade: (thinking)……time to end this War……once and for all……FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!
Laser blasts!
