the element of surprise

The hooded figure watched as the Chancellors air car motorcade set off and raised an arm and activated a holo-communicator. The image took a moment to solidify and on the other end was another cloaked figure.

"Report." The holo-image sounding tinny through the tentative connection as shown by the erratically moving lines, indicating that the other end of the conversation was a long way away as the image was slightly unstable due to signal loss.

"Everything is set up, he in on his way. I will start my end of the plan, good luck, Brother." The cloaked figure raised his head enough for yellowed eyes to shine.

"Luck, I have the force, thank you though Brother, be wary, my master is more dangerous then he seems." The holo-image paused for a moment before adding. "Force is with you, it shall break our bonds."

"And shall set us free." The cloaked figure nodded before shutting off the connection, then changing channels the figure sent the signal and the waiting mass of low lives shot forward in a cloud arrowing in on their target.

Jar Jar sat, twitching every now and again, the bad feeling he had not going away. To help calm himself he started alternating between trying to start a conversation between himself and the chancellor, and when that fizzled out, fiddling with the sound system to see if there was anything good to listen to. Palpatine meanwhile stewed in anger, wondering why he agreed to spend even more time in close proximity with the annoying amphibian. The covert Sith Lord was so focused on his own thoughts he was surprised when one of the security air cars exploded and a wave of ill-maintained air vehicles swarmed over the motorcade. The shock was only broken when with a metal on metal thunk sounded between the chancellor and the Gungan, both looked over and saw the rebounding arc of a grenade.

"Oh, noes." The Gungan stated.

Palpatine would have said something a bit harsher then what the amphibian said, but all that he had time for was a wave of rage at the unfairness of it all before the grenade went off.

Meanwhile, Son watched and laughed at the face the hidden Sith had on his face, a crunching sound as he fed on some sort of snacks, Son just smiled and grabbed another handful, waiting to see what other funny faces the Sith would make in the resets to come.
