	Thanks for all the replies everyone. Well, here's the next post. Padme Amidala had walked down the vast, steel corridor leading to the Galactic Senate many times in her life. This one felt no different from the others. Yet another crucial appeal for action to bring before the Senators. Yet another debate over what the Republic should do next. There would be arguing and deliberations and it would take forever for them to finally realize there really was only one option before them. Sometimes I think Ani is right about the Senate, she thought with a sigh. She had hurried to her office that morning, after finally removing herself from Anakin's warm embrace, knowing she was cutting it close if she wanted to have time to prepare before the session convened for the day. Dormé had been there already, hard at work with datapads spread out across the desk, going over Padme's speech one last time to be sure it was right. Padmé couldn't help feeling slightly guilty that Dorme had been there before her. She also realized what a good and loyal friend her attendant was. Dorme had not reproached her for being late, only given her a knowing little smile before vacating the chair so Padme could work. Not for the first time, Padme wondered how much Dormé already suspected. As she entered the Senate Chamber, stepping into her floating platform, Padme tried to put the previous night to the back of her mind. She had to keep her attention on her work. On the task ahead. This time, she thought with a small smile of determination. What I do I do for Anakin. For us. For our future. Many of the Senator platforms hovered empty, even more star systems having joined the Seperatist movement. In the center of the main floor, Chancellor Palpatine stood at his stationary dais, looking tired and weary. Padme wondered just how long the Senators had been arguing before her arrival. "My fellow Senators," she said loudly, her voice booming through the acoustics as silence filled the hall. "I have come before you today with the gravest of missions. To persuade you to approve a swift and precise strike against the Separatists, one that will put them in a position where they will most likely be willing to negotiate for peace." She paused for a moment, gazing around the room, purposely letting her gaze seem to penetrate every Senator. She didn't need the Force to sense that she had their complete and undivided attention. "The Clone Wars have been raging for two years," she continued evenly. "That is two years longer than they ever should have lasted. It is time for the Republic to show our true strength. We must not keep defending our homes and our way of life. We must go on the offensive and strike at them before they strike at us. If we do not, our lives as we know them will be forever changed." Taking a deep breath, she went on to present the information she had been given by the military, and from the Jedi. She explained in great detail the plan that had been put together by the Jedi Council and General Kenobi, urging the Senate to ratify the proposal. "And you support this plan, Senator Amidala?" Owek Karr, the Twi'lek Senator asked. Padmé understood his skepticism. It was well known among the Senate that she did not favor the idea of violence, for any purpose. But even the Jedi knew the truth, there was no other choice left. The only way to stop the war was to strike at the heart of the Seperatist Movement. Count Dooku. "Yes," she replied. "I support it with my whole heart." [This is folly! Sending our troops into the stronghold of a Jedi!] the representative from Kashykk, Tri'wekkar, protested. The floor erupted in chattering and arguing, and it was sometime before the chair could restore order, before Padmé could answer. “The Jedi are doing all they can," Padme assured him. "But as we all know, they are not soldiers. They are already pressing the lines of their Order in what they do now. Still, the Council contributed the intelligence report you just heard, participated in the planning the scenario I've just showed. They will play a large role in this offensive. They've agreed to even send all of their number, if need be -” [Then I do not understand why we must be involved!] Tri'wekkar cut her off. [Dooku is the Jedi’s responsibility.] “Perhaps you are right, Senator," Padme said quietly, fixing the Wookie Senator with a steely gaze. "Perhaps Dooku is the Jedi's responsibility. But the responsibility to protect the citizens of this Republic, to maintain peace and justice, to defend the democracy that we gathered here hold so dear, is ours and ours alone." Then there was dead silence throughout the Senate. And then the applause thundered through the hall, shaking the walls with its loud echo. No sound could have surprised Padmé more. -----signature----- "What can a King ask of a man like me?" "A better world than has ever been seen. A kingdom of conscience. A kingdom of Heaven."

	That post was very well written. I think you've got Padmé's 'senator' attitude down to a t. Great job, I loved it! SB -----signature----- Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.

	Go Padme! She's so cool when she gets into her Senator mode, so determined and collected. You do a great job portraying her like that. But what is most impressive is the way you show the difference between her public persona and the one when she's alone with Anakin. Excellent work. This new plan the Council has proposed...is Padme going to help? Maybe along with Anakin? Great post! Oh, and I think Dorme knows all... -----signature----- Yippee!!! ~ Darth Vader, TPM
