NO! He can't win! Wow, I've remember how much I love this story, such a fabulous update! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply...Thank you for the PM!

Loved the descriptions of Qui-gon not sweating over his trial and Obi-wan so wore and on edge, and Sidioius and getting inside of his head. Just awesome, so well done.

As always, it was worth the wait. love I can see where this could have been difficult to write, but you did a magnificent job showing Sideous and the tension building leading to the arrest. As usual I'm struck with jealousy!

I hope the next bit comes to you easier and that all is going better in RL. hugs

Oh, Diane, that's just like you. Lots of lovely tension and conflict (internal and external) but no resolution yet. Such a tease.

Really, it was a perfect chapter. I loved that Amidala showed up, all determination and grit.

I was trying to guess how you would have Palpatine react to the Jedi. His innocence game was spot on. Slimy, evil, manipulative, and totally in character.

Oh, that didn't go as I had hoped. But Palpatine is still far too overconfident.

Amazing work, Diane! Your writing from Palpatine's perspective is always eerily in character. Well done!

And now you leave us with this evil cliffie- Ack! worried

Looking forward to more! -waves hand- You will resolve this cliffie soon. grin

Sidious could feel that there was something amiss.
Oh - my heart bleeds for him. [face_neutral]

It would appear that the Jedi scum were trying to corrupt the Force with their good intentions.
Geez, don't you just hate it when that happens.

Sadly he IS right about the Senate and their self-serving ethics.

I have to say that that exchange between Amidala and Palpy was a brilliant piece of characterisation. Your Palpy is both despicable and charming. wink

More importantly, with the Force choked with a dark mixture of revenge and blood-lust from the Senators, even the Jedi would not be able to see through the deception.
That's a good point. Those negative vibes do muddy the Force.

Classic Sidious there with his playacting as the betrayed one. It's interesting the way you kept Obi kind of in the background there. I wonder what he'll do about the carnage. Will this be the act that turns him? Whew!

That was an awesome chapter. I feel quite drained. And now I want to kill Palpy even more. devil

DRS- honestly, no. RL has bitten me bad - I got laid off and I'm trying to deal with unemployment, etc. I have the next post started (about 2 pages) but it's going to need a lot more work. I had no idea that it had been so long since the last update. I'm really sorry about this.

Very sorry to hear about your employment situation. Yesterday was a scary day as over 50 thousand layoffs were announced. Hang in there, your story seems even more poignant now.

Diane,

I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with unemployment. Rotten economy. I hope that you find a newer, shinier, happier job soon. Very soon!
