“It was amazing to watch, Senator.” Panaka hadn’t been expecting Palpatine’s call, but when the senator surprised him early in the evening on the first day of the summit, he was more than happy to take the call. “To watch her talk with the others and really listen. And make progress! Even if it was only the very beginning of mending the fences. Her handmaidens even offered advice.”

“What an amazing accomplishment,” Palpatine said. “I hope she didn’t get too dramatic and promise them voting rights in the next election.”

Panaka laughed.

“You know, I get the feeling she respects their sovereignty too much to do that,” he said. “That’s what made her so effective, I think. She wasn’t the Queen today. She was simply their host.”

“A united Chommell sector would be a force to be reckoned with,” Palpatine mused. “There are several things I would like to do myself, but I find my hands are full representing the sector away from home.”

“If the Queen has her way, you won’t have to wait very long,” Panaka said. He realized that he had been talking about the summit for quite some time, and that Palpatine was a busy person. “I’m sorry, Senator. Was there a reason you called?”

“No, not really,” Palpatine said. “Just taking a moment to check in with an old friend. I am glad I contacted you, though. Such unexpected and thrilling news from home.”

Panaka yawned, not quite able to hide it behind his glove. He’d called up extra guards, but he had still been awake for most of the time since the delegates had arrived.

“I won’t keep you from your rest, Captain,” Palpatine said. “I’m glad everything is going well.”

“Thank you, Senator,” Panaka said, and Palpatine ended the call.
