At nighttime high among the crowded super towers, a boat-like building
with an egg shaped chamber at its prow overlooks the cityscape.

Anakin races up the lobbies wide stairs past humanoid couples who arrive in lavish clothes.

Anakin walks down a curved hall and enters an arena.

in multiple tiers of seats an audience watches a ballet of wispy eel-like creatures floating in and around massive bubbles.

Anakin enters Palpatine's private box from which he watches.

Anakin:"you wanted to see me, Chancellor"

Palpatine:"yes, Anakin come closer I have good news"

Anakin squats beside his chair

Palpatine:"our clone intelligence units have discovered the location of General Grievous he's hiding in the Utapau system"

Anakin:"at last we'll be able to capture that monster and end this war"

Palpatine:"I would worry about the collective wisdom of the council if it didn't select you for this assignment"

Palpatine:"you're the best choice by far"

Anakin takes a deep breath

Palpatine:"hmm sit down"

Palpatine turns to someone sitting beside him

Palpatine:"leave us"

with meditative Grace the three elegantly clad dignitary sharing the box stand and leave

as the sparkling eggs of suspended liquid shift around the center of the arena Anakin sits beside the Chancellor.

Palpatine:"Anakin you know I'm not able to rely on the Jedi Council"

Palpatine:"if they haven't included you in their plot, they soon will"

Anakin:'"i'm not sure I understand"

Palpatine:"you must sense what I have come to suspect the Jedi Council want control of the Republic"

Palpatine:"they're planning to betray me"

Anakin:"I don't think that-"

Palpatine:"Anakin, search your feelings"

the white haired Chancellor regards Anakin

Palpatine:"you know don't you?"

Anakin's dark ropes nearly conceal a shrug

Anakin:"I know they don't trust you"

Palpatine:"Hmm or the Senate or the Republic, or democracy, for that matter"

Anakin:"I have to admit my trust in them has been shaken"

Palpatine:"why?"

Anakin meets Palpatine's gaze

Palpatine:"They asked you to do something.. that made you feel dishonest, didn't they?"
