- Narrator: Criminals captured! Jedi Master Plo Koon and Padawan Ahsoka Tano successfully thwarted an attempt on Mace Windu's life, killing bounty hunter Aurra Sing in the process. Since that time, young Ahsoka has grown strong in the ways of the Force. Now, after several harrowing adventures alongside her Master, the two Jedi have returned to the Temple on Coruscant to receive their next mission...
- Ahsoka Tano: I can't just stay behind knowing about the threat to your life. Allow me to come with you, please?
- Padmé Amidala: Well, I... suppose it couldn't hurt. Besides, I enjoy your company. Of course you can join me. As... extra security.
- Padmé Amidala: [Padmé has bested Ahsoka in a game of Dejarik] You'll learn to play in time, Ahsoka. Someday, you'll even beat me.
- Ahsoka Tano: Stand down, assassin!
- Aurra Sing: You left me for dead! Luckily Hondo pulled me out of the wreckage.
- Ahsoka Tano: Surprised your back to work so soon.
- Aurra Sing: Well, a girl's got to make a living.
- Padmé Amidala: Fear: in these times, it is the greatest weapon wielded against those who would stand up for truth and justice. We have a responsibility as the elected representatives of the Republic to face our fears and challenge those who threaten the safety of its people. I stand before you today bruised, but not beaten. The voices of the people shall be heard. And together, we shall represent them. The homeless shall no longer be homeless and faceless, the soldiers who so valiantly fight to protect us must also be protected once their job is done. We need legislation to defend the displaced from slavery, to protect our soldiers from feeling as if there is no future beyond their warfare, and we must open channels through diplomacy so that we can end this war. I know there are those among the Separatists who would end this conflict. And I know there are those individuals in the galaxy who would seek to promote fear and spread chaos. To those who act as agents of chaos, I say this: I stand resolute and unyielding. And if you strike my voice down, know that a chorus of thousands shall rise up in its place, for you have no dominion over the righteous. We are the defenders of truth.
- Ahsoka Tano: I am sure now that it is Senator Amidala who is in danger.
- Yoda: Senator Amidala, you say?
- Ahsoka Tano: Yes, Master. I've seen it in my visions.
- Yoda: Choose, you must, how to respond to your visions. But, remember, always in motion is the future and many possible futures there are.
