Revelations by Supreme Chancellor Sidious

PROLOGUE: DECLARATIONS OF WAR

Coruscant-One day after the Battle of Geonosis

Jedi Master Mace Windu stood in the Senate Hall on the Supreme Chancellor’s stand. He looked over the nervous faces of the Senator’s that sat in their rotundas connected to the Senate walls. It was time for him to address the Senate as to what had happened at the Battle of Geonosis.

"Yesterday, I was informed that Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi was held as a prisoner by the Separatists on Geonosis," Mace began. "I, along with two hundred Jedi, stormed the Arena were they were to be executed by carnivorous animals. The Jedi squad engaged the droid army there but we were unable to hold them back. Within half of an hour there were only twenty of us left."

Many of the Senators were shocked at the number of casualties. Senator Amidala`s aide, Jar Jar Binks, sighed as he was once again reminded of the Jedi`s loss.

Mace continued, "As we fought, Master Yoda and the Clone Troopers arrived with gunships and Assault ships.. After a few hours the Separatists fled. But by no means were they defeated. We believe that we only engaged a part of their army."

The Jedi Master stepped down and let Supreme Chancellor Palpatine speak.

"As you have no doubt guessed," he said in his dry voice, "A state of war exists between the Separatists and the Republic. We will not let the Separatist stop our way of life. Citizen's of the Republic I urge you not to fear. Assault Ships are being positioned in every Republic System under threat. The Republic will prevail, do not fear that we will not. As for Count Dooku, I need him to know one thing: WE ARE COMING."

A roar of approval filled the Senate.

2 hours later

Inside Master Yoda`s quarters, Mace Windu and Yoda were deep in conversation.

"Master Yoda," spoke Mace sadly, "I`m afraid that most of the Senators and Representatives are blood thirsty at the moment. This will not help any sort of peace treaty among us. Then again it will be a while before the Separatists surrender But the Supreme Chancellor's speech did not help purpose peace either."

"Politics," Yoda said gravely.

Mace nodded in agreement. But there was still something strange about the speech. He could tell Yoda noticed it too.
