	Darth_Kripp: What in the blazes does Kimea want? And I'm wondering about Vader. He must be informed somehow... Kimea wants a kind of a revenge, but a very strange one (the more I say, the less it's a surprise to you, isn't it?). Vader will be informed and stepped onto the plan soon as soon as Palpatine gets to know some more hints. VaderLVR64: Thanks. The story is going to have more action in the next chapters, I promise. -----signature----- Lieda Mothma http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/26650971/p1/?15 Taking Breath in a Cold Night http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/25084978/p1 Frozen Blossom http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/27429050/p1/?7

	Chapter 5 He didn’t knew exactly why he came here…and what this Jedi wanted from him. He entered the Council Chambers and looked around, but he was alone. There was nobody in there but him. He waited for some minutes. Nothing happened. Nobody entered to Chamber to meet him. There was just silence,…and the wind that howled around the high tower of the Temple. Suddenly without any warning the holonet-cam in the middle of the chamber sprang to life again. After all these years… He was surprised. This Jedi wasn’t a fool, he or she was very careful. The holo showed a hooded person that wore typical Jedi robes, including a lightsabers. But he wasn’t able to decide whether the Jedi was male or female nor whether species he or she belonged to nor which age he or she might be. He didn’t know anything. But he assumed the Jedi had to be male. A female wouldn’t be that stupid to show herself on Coruscant and endanger her…, would she? It was a recorded message, not a live one. This Jedi is really clever… “Good evening, Palpatine”, started the Jedi. He or she didn’t call him by his title, ignored it, “I assume you have chosen to join this little game **** each other a bit better[/i]…you’ll get hints who I am. My first job for you is to name all Council Members at the time the purges started. We’re going to meet again tomorrow. Same location, same time. Good night!” Pardon? He was more than surprised, nearly angry. His face whitened. A game? What for? He remembered that little cist very well and, yes, he wasn’t able to open it. There had to be something very important in it if the Jedi wanted it back after all those long years that have passed by. The cist was brought to him when the Temple was plundered, but the officer couldn’t tell him where it was found. So this cist became a mystery to him and had stayed a mystery. His fury increased second by second. A game? You want to play with me? You’re already dead by now, Jedi, but you don’t know it yet! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Palpatine reassured himself slowly. After arriving in the Imperial Palace he withdrew to his private quarters. He wasn’t tired, he never was. It was very easy for him to name all the Council Members just by his memory. As Supreme Chancellor he had been in touch with them daily by that time. The Jedi led the armies of the Republic in the years of the Clone Wars while he was in his office at the senate watching his plans working out well. He climbed into his bed after changing his clothes, freezing. He covered himself and the room fell into the dark of the night. Sleep didn’t come and time just slowly passed by. After an hour he lightened his bedroom again and started reading on his datapad. If there was sleep to be found there was no excuse why to let time pass by without working, without learning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the next morning Kimea got an assignment with some other senatorial aides about the so-called rebels. The intention of this assignment was that the aides should spy on their bosses, the senators. Kimea listened too, but was of course loyal to Sona and would stay loyal to him; as loyal all or most of the aides would be to their senators. Everyone did know that if the Senator was involved in rebellious tasks or actions it was nearly impossible the senatorial aide of this Senator wasn’t involved in too. Does the Empire think we’re that dumb? She just got out of his Majesties sight b/c she could prove she hadn’t further contact to Mothma herself than these little few conversations on Chandrila. It was obvious that the Empire seemed to be a bit helpless in handling with the upcoming Alliance. Thanks to Mothma…and thanks to a few other not yet caught senators. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For diner she visited an old friend of her father, Dexter Jettster, who was the owner of a little cantina. Dex’s Diner. The cantina seemed to have stayed as it has been in the Republic. Here her parents had met each other regularly while their love affair, while her mothers pregnancy and then to play family after little Kimea had been born. Here the Council hadn’t had an eye on them because her parents weren’t allowed to have further contact to each other than the normal one as typical between Jedi. It was a miracle her mother, Siri Tachi, was allowed to raise her daughter personally and it was a miracle her parents weren’t spelled from the Jedi Order. Maybe it was because of Kimeas high average of midi-chlorians. She was straight after Skywalker in that scale. She asked for Dex at the bar and was led to the kitchen where Dex was cooking for his guests. Aliens as well as humans. His cantina was known and famous all over Coruscant, even on some other nearby planets. Dex started to smile all over his alien face when seeing her and welcomed her more than friendly. “How’s your father?” “He’s fine, Dex, thanks. He told me you maybe could help me…if I need help…or support.” “Of course, lil’ Kimmy. Is it really that long ago when you were stumbling through my cantina?” “I guess so”, she laughed shyly. “You’re searching for a job?” “Ahm, no…I’m a senatorial aide…but I need the help of your cantina for an evening. I’m going to await a special guest and maybe I’m allowed to help you out in the kitchen at this evening…?” “You’re welcome.” “Thanks. Are you still very active in the information-business?” “If you’d call it a business, yes. Which information do you need?” “Everything you get to know about activities against the rebels and, more important, against the Jedi.” Dex was surprised to be asked for this special service. He looked deep into her eyes, tried to focus on her. “Rebels I do understand. But the Jedi? Does the Empire know about a Jedi, about you being one?” “Not yet. That’s because I’m asking you to have your ears open.” “How can I reach you then?” Kimea asked for some paper and wrote down a number. “It is an answering machine”, she explained to him, “But I’m going to check it every hour, I promise.” “Ok. And you’re sure you don’t need a fair job?” Kimea started to laugh. “Oh, maybe I’m looking for one very soon. But I’m also looking forward to have of that fantastic Ragout of yours.” “Then please take a seat here, so we can talk in between. Hope, you’re hungry, hun, you look way too thin. Don’t you get enough food in those expensive restaurants at the Palace?” ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Next chapter will be up on Sunday or late Saturday! -----signature----- Lieda Mothma http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/26650971/p1/?15 Taking Breath in a Cold Night http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/25084978/p1 Frozen Blossom http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/27429050/p1/?7

	Darth_Kripp: Watch out for the next chapters...Palpatine is going to behave real...strange!!! But they'll meet in the council chambers one more time... VaderLVR64: Thanks!!! --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Chapter 6 Next evening, Jedi Temple He had been there punctually but again he was alone in the Council room. The mysterious Jedi didn’t show up. It frustrated him, made him angry; but nonetheless he had to accept it for this time being. Once again he settled himself in Mace Windus seat, waiting what might come…but there was just silence, pure silence. Just the wind… Silence… Whispering of the Death… Long forgotten speeches of long gone Jedi Masters... He wondered how often he had stood before the Council or had asked for a meeting. Numerous times I guess… He hated memories because they haunted him when he didn’t need them. But these rooms were full of images from the past and because there was no one here since the rooms hadn’t been changed since then. I should have rearranged the Temple somehow…or demolished it! The holoprojector sprang to life as it had just yesterday and again there was just the hooded person. A furious Palpatine had to learn that this transmission wasn’t live. The Jedi just told him about his new mission and forgot about his so called homework. “We’re going to meet soon in person, Palpatine, but not today and not tomorrow. Furthermore I think we should define some rules…for the future of our…arrangement: It’s me who give you the hints…and it’s me who decide what you should now and what not. It’s not this little master and servant game, I assure you, and it’s also not a master- apprentice relationship. It isn’t even a relationship in particular! So, what’s next: I want you to go to this Senatorial Party that is going to be held tomorrow and to stay there at least until midnight. But, please…do not try to make yourself that comfortable at the side of your…shall I really call them your friends?...they aren’t real friend, you do know that, don’t you? Conversation with guests might be a good exercise… The day after tomorrow we’re going to meet at a more informal place: Dexter’s Diner. 2030. Ask for the kitchens’ speciality.” How dare he…or she…to be that harsh and irreverent? I am a Sith Master, I am no…no…whatever! He stood up with a whitened face. The Jedi did point out his or her rules quite well. He or she wanted him to obey…him! He hadn’t obeyed anyone for decades! And he hadn’t had that in mind! But there was no other way by now than to obey…for a short time to reveal the mysterious Jedi in person. While wandering down to the platform where his personal shuttle was awaiting him he has already given himself to his dreams how to slaughter this Jedi when he or she has been caught. There were so many ways to torture a Jedi… and yes, he knew it well, it would be a pleasure for him to stay on the Jedi’s side while these long hours… ...or days…. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Senatorial Party, next evening I really dislike this part of my job…I hate it! Kimea hadn’t seen that many aristocrats, senators, courtesans, aides and officials in her entire life. Most of these beings were superstitious…and their behaviours were rude, cruel… For this evening Kimea Tachi, aide to Senator Sona, was a part of their society. She officially belonged to them. Not feeling well at all she made the best for her situation, settled herself to Senator Sona whom she accompanied. His Majesty hadn’t shown up lately and Kimea supposed he denied his duty as Ruler and Emperor as well as he denied his homework. It turned 2000, then 2030, at last 2100. Senator Bail Organa went over to Sona and her, Princess Leia at his side. They greeted and went on with their conversation. Leia asked her some typical newcomer questions: How she’d like Coruscant? The senate? Her duties? Her flat? What her father had said when she decided to move to Coruscant? “He wasn’t happy at all. I guess he’d like to lock me into my rooms at home if he would have known it would help to keep me away from Coruscant.” “Dangerous times have come up again. Some Senators have been arrested, some have already been sent to prisons.” “Rumours…” “No rumours, Kimea. Mon would have been arrested if…” “Scht!”, Bail interrupted his daughter harsh, “Not here! Not now!” “Agree”, Kimea looked away. Dangerous times…yes, indeed. Especially for me…here…under the eyes of him. Suddenly there was some moving in the celebrating society. Palpatine entered the halls, together with some of his aides and surrounded by his guards. The emperor settled himself in a dark and quit edge of the decorated room. Servants were offering drinks to them. Palpatine took a glass of wine. Kimea felt he wasn’t shielded at all. She could sense him; she could feel him in the Force. He didn’t feel comfortable at this moment… “Master Sidious! Glad you could make it to this party!” Silence… “You?! You are in here?” “Why miss a nice party and a little chit-chat? It is a pleasure to watch all these fools gossip while surrounded by spies.” “Where are you, Jedi scum? Why hiding when we are able to meet in person now.” “I do not hide myself. You’ve only lost your feeling for other individuals, even for the force sensitive ones!” She could see him scanning the guests, face by face, everyone. She felt him searching for the force and force sensitive individuals but failed. Once again she hide herself, cloaked herself again. He just got a very little hint that there was another very force sensitive individual among all the non-sensitives. He hadn’t been able neither to locate the direction the voice had been coming from nor if it was a female or male voice that had been spoken to him. “Ah,…your Majesty, I won’t make it that easy for you! Our little game has just started.” “Your game, Jedi, not mine. Fool, who’re you thinking you are that you dare to waste my time?” “Do I really waste your time? If so I shall leave you or maybe stole away that cist of mine…but then you won’t get the information what’s in this cist. It all depends on you…on your cooperation.” “There must be something important in it, am I correct.” “If you’d like to call it important? Yes, of course.” Murmurs came up when out of a sudden Palpatine rose from his seat and took careful steps down towards the great hall in which all the other guests were chatting, drinking, or even dancing. It might be years since the Emperor has done such unexpected actions. Even his aides froze at the sight: Palpatine wandering down the steps and then vanishing deeply into the crowd. Sate Pestage stunned, couldn’t move and wasn’t able to stop his master from doing so. Now it was too late… He went carefully and slowly through the crowd. Without his wooden walking stick he sometimes felt uneasy. Being starred at was less uncomfortable than anything else. There was no mask as he once had as chancellor; there was just him…and his ugly grimace. So? Now what? In a hurry he looked around, tried to find some senators he once knew well but there was just Organa in sight, next to this new Senator from Chandrila. Where had all the others been when needed? He moved forward, directly towards Organa and his companions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They saw him coming near; he seemed to wish to talk to Organa himself or to join their company. Why us? Out of a hundred guests and their companions he wants to share the evening with us? Worst choice… Organa and Sona sighted, but didn’t try to escape their fate. Even Leia didn’t make a move, just made a faked smile to Kimea. Palpatine arrived and greeted as there was nothing unspectacular to this kind of situation. Organa, Leia and Sona greeted back and bowed deep. Kimea forced herself to bow before him as well. Hate swelling deep within her but not showing to the outside. She wouldn’t make it that easy for him to reveal her. Not yet. Not here. She would determine location and time when to unmask herself to him. “Does Mothma stay in contact with you, Senator?” Palpatine suddenly asked Sona who fell aback, his skin whitened. He was totally surprised. “No. All I know about her is what was told in the official news in the senate.” “And your aide? Tachi, was it, wasn’t it?” “I haven’t heard anything from her since her personal request on my com unit if I would move to Coruscant or stay away; about two weeks ago.” “You weren’t that comfortable with your new job?” Palpatine seemed to be interested,…or he was just bored and tried to reawaken a conversation. “My father was not.” “Your father?” “Fathers are always overprotective to their daughters. It’s in their nature.” Bail just nodded: “I agree. You’re an only-child, aren’t you?” “So I was told.” Kimea tried not to answer too coolly and harsh. Her mother has died during her second pregnancy. Kimea refused neither thinking nor speaking about it. Neither has her father talked that much about it often. It was an open secret between them and their friends about what has happened 15 years ago. Far away on the sandy planet of Tatooine. Her mother has been sick for weeks now. Her mood as changed as well. She was more depressed than normal and hardly spoke to anybody. Siri Tachi couldn’t help but hate her life on Tatooine. Somewhere in the nowhere. For living as a normal family she has agreed to marry Obi-Wan Kenobi; her daughter was now legal. But doing nothing than wait and watch the years pass slowly by didn’t satisfy her at all. She had missed her life as a Jedi the moment it was taken away from her. Even her family wasn’t able to stabilize her mood. And now, after some lonely years on Tatooine, she has learnt that their life wouldn’t change again in a long time…it would even get worse: She was pregnant again. Kimea remembered their parents’ conversations and discussions about what to do next very well. Raising children here on Tatooine wasn’t easy; questions were asked who they would be, where they’ve come from… Teachings might be getting more difficult than they already had become. But,…after all…their parents had decided to raise another child. Siri Tachi died while giving birth to her son… Palpatine stayed at their side as long as the party lasted. He seemed to enjoy himself in their little conversations although he wasn’t welcomed. Organa and Sona gave up fleeing after a while; Leia didn’t dare to let her father on his own. Kimea held up her force shield and fought against getting bored. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Hope you like it! -----signature----- Lieda Mothma http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/26650971/p1/?15 Taking Breath in a Cold Night http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/25084978/p1 Frozen Blossom http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/27429050/p1/?7

	Hmmm. His Majesty's mood has changed. And after this first interesting meeting, I'm wondering how the next one shall be, considering that Palpatine will be on a totally foreign groung... And I'm still waiting for Vader to appear. -----signature----- "Use my knowledge, I beg you!"

	Darth_Kripp: Vader will apear soon, but is mentioned in this chapter! ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Chapter 7 Rotunda of the Senate, next morning Senator Sona used to continue Mon Mothmas behaviour to let himself be accompanied by his aide while on duty in the rotunda. So Kimea Tachi sat beside him listening to the discussions that took place here. One of her duties was to make notes for the senator but that was forbidden since nearly a decade now. So she did what Mon Mother has once told her: “Listen careful and make inner notes. Palpatine may be ignorant, but he is no fool! He knows everything because he listens carefully all the time, although he seems to be asleep or apathetically. Never underestimate him!” Oh, she did know Mon Mothma well. For some years now. Her parents had been in the rebellion since the uprising of the Galactic Empire. Her father had introduced her to the chandrilian senator when they have met at a meeting. Mon Mothma made friends with her although she was nearly double the age of the young Jedi but she realized Kimeas interest in politics and she was the opinion to offer Kimea Kenobi a mentorship. Today Palpatine sat on his throne, in the middle of the rotunda, formerly the seat of the chancellor. Although the senate discussed the laws, it was Palpatine who decided everything on his own. Kimea was impressed; he was barely 30 metres away from the chandrilian pod and hardly guarded. It might be easy to kill him at this place without being noticed at all. But…Palpatine was so self-assured nobody would dare to assault him in these holly halls of law. Palpatine hold a very long speech; of course about the true nature of the rebellion whose leader had fled but would be found and executed soon. He told lies over lies, spoke in such a hate she didn’t heard in her life before. Did he really believe in what he is talking about? Should she make him feel how near she might come to him without him taken notice? Just a second…a single second… The power of the force floated her mind, her body…he would feel her immediately. Kimea watched him with interest. Palpatine was a very good speaker and of course eloquent but suddenly he stumbled in the middle of a sentence, looked around as he tried to search for…her! Once again Kimea hide herself in the clouds of the force. The Emperor has followed his speech again but went on scanning the pods in the senate. Did he believe he would see a person wearing a Jedi outfit or someone holding up a poster with “I’m here!” on it? He couldn’t be that naive, could he? Nothing happened. His majesty went on, he hadn’t discovered her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Jedi is here! Here! In the senate! A cold shower went down his spine. He had never thought the Jedi would dare to step into the rotunda. But although looking around and searching for new faces he wasn’t able to identify the source of the disturbance in the force. He had no clue if the Jedi was male or female, an alien or a human, how old he or she was…he knew absolutely nothing! Frustrating… Absolute frustrating… Am I the only one here who feel the Jedi? If Vader would have feel something disturbing he would have mentioned it, wouldn’t he? He decided to ask him when talking to him the next time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dexter’s Diner While studying on the university Kimea has already worked in the gastronomy service. At 2000 she started her shift at Dexter’s Diner in the kitchen. She was well known to the stuff, because she was introduced to them the afternoon before. Some of the stuff members have already known Kimea when she was a little girl. She liked this place for a meeting with Palpatine because Dexter’s Diner was famous at alien species as well. Furthermore Kimea was able to watch the diner via monitor. She would observe him without being seen by him. So she would not need to manipulate her face… Palpatine was punctual. He wasn’t wearing his Sithrobes, Kimea hardly believe what she has just seen, but normal and coloured robes as millions of individuals on Coruscant as well. He has manipulated his face with the force to be not identified but Kimea found out easily because he didn’t clouded himself in the force but let her feel his presence. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dexter’s Diner was the kind of restaurant he feared it would be. The location of this restaurant was at the far end of the senatorial district but it was light years away from his world and his standard. He has dressed himself in some older, more informal clothes than he normally wore. He hadn’t dressed this way for many years, so he didn’t feel very comfortable. Finding some of his older robes in the deep of his wardrobe he had decided to change for the meeting with the Jedi; furthermore he has manipulated his face to change into another man’s face anybody wouldn’t remember long at all. The diner disliked him the moment he entered. Aliens were around here and today humans were a rare minority; and he among them. So,…he entered this restaurant at last, looking around. Most of the guests sat at the bar or on several desks. He guesses if someone was advising him to a free desk but after a few seconds he doubted and walked through the diner towards a free separee and settled himself. Just in time the service droid WA-7 welcomed him harshly and asked for his order. “I’d like to have the menu card, please…and what’s today’s special?” “I ask the cook. Would you like something for drink?” He ordered a glass of water and waited what was up to happen soon. A few minutes there was nothing to happen. The service droid gave away his order and called someone called ‘Dexter’; the owner of this establishment. This ‘Dexter’ murmured something to her. Then WA-7 rolled back to him, placed his glass of water on his desk and presents him an old-fashioned menu card. “Today’s special is Wampasteak; but if I were you I wouldn’t order it!” He thanked and was left alone again. He took a sip of water and looked around once more. The Jedi haven’t shown up yet, but how would they get in contact anyway? He looked upon the menu card. Directly on page 1 there was a little piece of paper with a hand written note on it. A very well read note, written in an unknown handwriting. “Ask Dexter how many of these menus are digestible for humans and order one of it.” Indeed this menu card was more questionable than informal to him. All of these menus were totally unknown to him and ordering something out of the blue could be like committing suicide… He then could just hope that surprising menu was eatable for a human. Above all he had no appetite for years. Once again he took a sip when WA-7 rolled to him, ready to take his order. Carefully he asked for Dexter. “Sweetheart!” WA-7 yelled out of her speaker in a sudden and through the diner, “Here’s someone who’d like to talk to you!” Dexter entered the diner; he has been in the kitchen. Palpatine whitened a nuance when eyeing the alien striving towards him. Dexter was a four-armed alien, wearing dirty clothes and a smelly apron. Palpatine now asked himself when the public health office had been here for the last time when Dexter arrived and stopped just centimetres away. “Yeap?” “Excuse me,…I’d like to ask…which of these menus are digestible for humans?” “There are 12 of them; written down at “humanoids”. You should remember this.” “Pardon?” “You should have this number in your mind. Please make your offer soon.” “Well,…thanks.” Palpatine sighed, bewared his anger to shown to the outside and watched out for “humanoids” in the menu card. The Jedi has made a fool on him! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kimea observed the scenery taken place in diner while helping out in the kitchen. Out of the off she was able to hear some different voices…even his voice. Oh, and yes, she could feel his uprising anger! He was very displeased! Dexter returned from the diner with a big grin on his face. “I don’t believe he like my menu card at all!” He spoke a bit quieter than normal so Palpatine wasn’t able to listen. “I wouldn’t hope to get the offer to become a caterer to the palace if I were you.” She laughed and took care for two offers WA-7 should serve to the guests waiting for their food to come. “Kimmy, although I love to make a fool of him, does Obi-Wan know what you’re doing here? Does he learn about this paper chase with ol’Palpatine?” “No, and you won’t tell him!” “Fine, but Palpatine got something that is yours. Go tell him and claim it!” “Then I would be dead within the next few hours! No, I know what I’m doing! It isn’t a paper chase at all…it’s more or less a trip, connected to some enigmas. The salvation might be interesting for him,…if he think it over. It’s about him, the Jedi, me…and about his so called Empire.” “Well, fine. And you’re sure I shouldn’t arrange a group of toughs to beat him up just around the corner when he’s leaving?” “Thanks, Dex, but that isn’t necessary and not that suitable for my plans.” Her look returned back to the monitor. She saw Palpatine ordering at WA-7. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a few minutes his order was served. It barely smelled tasty but looked indeed eatable. If he should dare…? Once again there was a note. Same hand writing. “May I make a compliment on today’s speech? Very interesting indeed. By the way I’m sure nobody has listen to you passionately. I hope you like Dexter’s Diner. After diner please go to the next shuttle station. In addition to your bill there will be given a key to you for a locker. At the station you will learn where we’re meeting again and what’s your homework is. I’m sure you’ll love this kind of homework.” And yes, he got this mysterious key when asking for the bill. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shuttle station, a few minutes later He had found the locker easily and had opened it quickly. It was cold and he disliked this location; especially at this time of the day. The note was once again written on white paper. Pinning on this note was a ticket. A ticket for an old holo movie theatre? And then this spectacular homework: “Find out if your advisors and aides deliver you all the information they are given. If not, which ones are filtered out?” This may be indeed very interesting!

The note was once again written on white paper. Pinning on this note was a ticket. A ticket for an old holo movie theatre? And then this spectacular homework: “Find out if your advisors and aides deliver you all the information they are given. If not, which ones are filtered out?” This may be indeed very interesting! His lips formed into a little smile… I guess I'll have to wait to find out. -----signature----- If you have to choose between tears and laughter, remember that laughter burns more calories.
