A ship travels towards the blockade outside the Mid-Rim planet of Naboo. There were two cloaked figures on that ship, since they were secretly dispatched to be 'the ambassadors.'
"Captain,"
One of the pilots looked behind him, looking at the older cloaked figure. "Yes, sir?" he asked.
"Tell them we wish to board at once," the older figure requested.
The captain typed on the buttons in front of them, having an image of Nute Gunray appear on the screen above them. "With all due respect, the ambassadors for the supreme chancellor wish to board immediately," the captain requested.
Nute Gunray nodded. "Yes, of course. As you know, our blockade is perfectly legal, and we'd be happy to receive the ambassadors,"
The ship got close to the station, pulling up into the docking bay. As it was going that, a bunch of droids turned to look at the ship as it landed.
The two cloaked figures stepped out of the ship once it landed, heading toward one of the doors. The door opened, revealing TC-14 droid behind it. "I'm TC-14 at your service. This way, please," the droid said, motioning the figures to follow it.
The two figures followed close behind while the doors closed.
The droid led the figures into a room. "We are greatly honored by your visit, Ambassadors. Make yourselves comfortable. My master will be with you shortly," the TC-14 droid told the two figures before it walked out of the room, the door close behind it.
Once it closed, the figures removed their hood, revealing the Jedi Qui-Gon and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. "I have a bad feeling about this," Obi-Wan admitted.
"I don't sense anything," Qui-Gon informed his Padawan.
"It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... Elsewhere, elusive," Obi-Wan admitted, looking around anxiously.
"Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs," Qui-Gon reminded as the two walked further into the room.
"But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future," Obi-Wan said.
"But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Force, young Padawan," Qui-Gon explained.
"Yes, Master... How do you think this trade viceroy will deal with the chancellor's demands?" Obi-Wan asked as the two stood in front of one of the windows.
"These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short," Qui-Gon replied.

TC-14 stood in front of her master, Nute Gunray while Daultay Dofine stood beside him. "What? What did you say?" Nute Gunray questioned.
"The ambassadors are Jedi Knights, I believe," TC-14 said.
Daultay Dofine turned to Nute Gunray. "I knew it," he started saying, causing Nute Gunray to look at him. "They're here to force a settlement,"
"Distract them. I will contact Lord Sidious," Nute Gunray commanded him.
"Are you brain-dead? I'm not going in there with two Jedi," Daultay Dofine said before he looked at TC-14. "Send a droid,"
The two looked at TC-14, causing her to look between the two.
Nute Gunray nodded slowly. "Right..." he muttered, turning to Daultay Dofine. "But you are going to check on our captive for Lord Sidious,"

The door opened to the room where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were waiting.
TC-14 walked in, holding a tray of refreshments.
