Out of the frying pan

Son crumpled up his now empty snack bag and tossed it to a waiting container, the makeshift ball hitting and bouncing off one edge, then another, then gently dropping into the receptacle. "That was fun, back to the game then, move the point to when they reach the Senate right?"

"Correct." The daughter said with a slight nod.

"Then we are all agreed." Father noted and moved the point as the motorcade landed.

Jar Jar felt exhausted, even though to the rest of the galaxy he had recently woken up, he was starting to feel all the time spent fighting for his life against that flying horde. Binks looked at what this morning was a pristine motorcade, the still-smoking scorch marks, and damage seems to jump out from the spots still gleaming from the care and attention the vehicles usually got. As Binks exited the aircar, he planted his feet, one injured arm still holding the now damaged stick that had saved him many times this morning. His other arm was used to help the Chancellor exit the aircar, the expensive craft looking dejectedly sad as the many marks and hits showing that it would not be an easy or quick fix to get it back into the condition it had been when they set off.

Palpatine winced as he exited the aircar, gratefully taking the assistance from the Gungan, though internally feeling a flicker of rage that he had to show a moment of weakness. As Palpatine walked to the Senate, slightly limping from the last wave of attacks before the security forces got things under control. As he started out, with the Gungan at his side, the repulsor systems on the aircar gave out and with a deep thud, the craft hit the landing pad. The Chancellor gave a brief glance at the amphibian next to him, thinking deep down that the Gungan did something, but as the lanky figure gave a nonchalant shrug he just gave a huff and continued to the senate.

With the arrival of the Chancellor, and the damage to the motorcade, the Senate security forces were abuzz with action, a flurry of activity as various sections became bust to show that they would not allow something like what happened to occur on their watch.

As the two entered the senate they were bombarded by the news that while they were being attacked, the separatists had made their move. With this news the two went their separate ways as they had to prepare for the upcoming senate session, it sounded like it would be a noisy one.
