This is General Skywalker to any Republic forces receiving, my comlink's down and this message needs to get to Coruscant immediately: send troops to secure the Supreme Chancellor's office and protect him at all costs. He may be in extreme danger. Somehow someone got into his office undetected and removed me to an unknown location; I doubt I was the real target. I need a status report, trace on my location, and extraction ASAP. When the Supreme Chancellor is secured, remaining troops are to report to Senator Amidala's apartment and ensure she is safe as well. Do not permit any Jedi entry to either location until I return.

If a civilian is receiving this: it is your duty to forward this immediately to Republic authorities. Fail to do so, and you may be charged with treason. Make the right choice.

If this has been intercepted by a Separatist: do yourself a favor and don't make the mistake of thinking now you can capture me. You've already lost. Don't take after the Count and lose your life as well.

[through Obi-Wan's master-apprentice Force bond: confusion as well, but anger— so much anger, and feeling personally betrayed]
