CHAPTER 303

CHETAK'S RESIDENCE

Chetak climbed from the shower in his bathing room and began to towel off his naked body as he walked into the main portion of his bedroom. The large monitor on his wall, always attuned to the single Net Channel he allowed to set up in Republic space, was showing nothing but white fuzz. His eyes narrowed and he moved to the screen, adjusting the controls to no avail. He banged on the table panel activating the Com channel.

"I have lost the Net Channel signal!" He exclaimed. "I had to wait a full day for this delayed transmission from the Union Senate meeting and now I am missing it!"

"Milord… transmissions are down." The voice replied. "There is nothing getting through! We are checking the transmission towers… but it appears all communications planet wide is down as well!"
