Elsewhere, on the bridge of the Trade Federation Lucrehulk-class battleship Saak'ak.
Tey How, communications officer, sat at her station. Her cybernetic implants allowed her to link directly with the ship's computer systems. She was about to look into an odd reading in one of the ventilation shafts, like a blockage, but then something more important got her attention. "Sir, a transmission from the planet. It's Queen Amidala herself,""
"At last we're getting results," Gunray observed.
As she spoke, the view screen phased into focus, showing an austere figure.
"Again you come before me, Your highness."
"You will not be pleased when you hear what I have to say, Viceroy ... Your trade boycott of our planet has ended," the Queen stated flatly.
Suppressing a smirk, he replied, "I was not aware of such a failure."
"I'm aware the Chancellor's Ambassadors are with you now, and that you have been commanded to reach a settlement."
"I know nothing of any Ambassadors ... you must be mistaken."
The Queen seemed momentarily surprised, then suspicious. "Beware, Viceroy....the Federation has gone too far this time."
"We would never do anything without the approval of the Senate. You assume too much."
"We will see," she replied, before ending the transmission.
There was a moment of relative quiet on the bridge before the Viceroy turned to Captain Dofine. "Jam their communications."
