Characters: Tusken Raiders, Padme Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, ARF Sergeant Boomer, 501st Clones, Bail Organa.

Narration: " Republic ally! A Senator from the planet of Nautolan is interested in making peace with the Republic! Senator Padme Amidala heads for the ocean world, to discuss possible negotiations!"

Padme Amidala flies her royal Naboo cruiser through space, keeping an eye out for the planet she has to land on. But unknown to her, a couple of Tusken Raider gunship's are tailing her, and open fire on her ship. Padme yells in shock as her ship goes flying towards an unidentified planet. The gunship's pursue Padme to the surface, but pause to allow her ship to crash into a swamp. As Padme scrambles out, several Tusken Raiders surround and shoot at her. Padme notices they are not aiming for the places where they would most likely kill her, and realizes they are intent on capturing her. Padme draws out her pistol and returns fire, sending one Tusken Raider into the swamp. Padme takes cover in part of what is left of her ship, and eliminates two more Tusken Raiders. The last one flees, intent on alerting the rest to Padme's position. As Padme continues over the swamp, she is unaware of what lurks underneath, and suddenly she is grabbed and trapped by a monster. A Swamp Slug, and it keeps Padme tight in a vice-grip, choking Padme. As she struggles to breathe and is about to pass out, someone else shoots the Swamp Slug, sending it back down into the swamp, leaving Padme shaken, but not hurt much. As Padme looks up to her saviours, she notices two dozen Tusken Raiders surrounding her. Shaking her head, Padme says "Oh, it's you guys again. Not good!" Padme is then dragged to her feet, and taken captive...

"In need of dire help, the Togrutan population is" Yoda says to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker during their meeting together. "I couldn't agree more, Master Yoda. With the Separatists now in control of Shili. We will have to take time to plan" says Obi-Wan, while Anakin adds "Time is one thing we don't have." A knock on the door brings the meeting to an end. "Enter" says Yoda, and Senator Bail Organa enters through the door, and hands Anakin a hologram. "This was sent to the senate. It does not make happy viewing" Bail tells them. Anakin activates the hologram, and watches in horror as Tusken Raiders brutally torture Padme right in front of their eyes. Padme struggles to handle the pain, and passes out right in front of them. In his anger, Anakin crushes the hologram in his fist, before dropping the pieces out the window. Anakin then walks straight out the door, leaving Yoda, Obi-Wan and Bail to ponder his rush of blood. Obi-Wan says "He has gone to rescue Senator Amidala." Bail asks "But, why? And what was that moment of anger for?". Yoda tells them "In these dark times, certain of nothing, are we. Many secrets in this galaxy, are there." In the hangar, Anakin finds Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, Boomer and several 501st Clones waiting for him. "What's our mission this time?" Ahsoka asks Anakin. "We're going to rescue Padme, she's captured on the planet Boa Bakron." Ahsoka looks shocked, and asks "Boa Bakron? But that's a dangerous planet! Full of all sorts of swamp monsters and-", but Anakin cuts her short, retorting "A Galactic Senator is there, and it is our duty to rescue her! If you don't have the courage for it, don't come!" as he boards a T-6 shuttle. Ahsoka and Rex exchange glances. "Might as well go aboard, Commander Tano. Keep the General happy." Ahsoka nods, and she also boards the shuttle, followed by Rex, Boomer and the several 501st Clones...
