Let the matter drop

Lana: I'm sorry general, no deal! The truth must come out!

Dantel: I see. A pity, I had expected more, from someone of your calibre. It must be nice to live your life in ignorance. We will see how the careers of your allies change after their "truth" is revealed!

Secretary: Master Jedi, the chancellor is ready to meet you! This way please!

Palpatine (as you enter): Lana Ordo! It is always a pleasure to meet a noble Jedi, please take a seat! How may I be of assistance to you?

Lana: Chancellor Palpatine. Thank you for sparing the time to hear me out. I came here to bring you evidence of corruption in the Republic.

Palpatine: Indeed? I am all ears...

You tell him everything about General Dantel and hand over the datacontainer with the evidence in it. He plugs it into his datapad and while scrolling through the files he comments.

Palpatine: These are very serious charges my child. General Dantel is a respected man among the leaders of the Republic, if any of your evidence is fake or not solid enough to bring him to trial...

Lana: I can assure you, your excellency, there is no doubt, with that data, he will be removed from office and trailed for treason, as he should be.

Palpatine: Hmmm, most interesting... With my power as supreme chancellor, I shall get to the bottom of this, I can assure you. Thank you for bringing this to me. Was there anything else I could help you with?

Lana: Actually, yes my lord, there is. I have also brought you something about a conspiracy, threatening the Republic itself.

Palpatine (curiously): A conspiracy, you say?

Lana: One of the senators has found out, that there are secret meetings and transmissions sent from certain high ranking individuals from this building to the Separatists.

Palpatine: How very concerning!

Lana: It truly is. A few might be using their position of power to betray the Republic for material or other gains!

Palpatine: Do you happen to have any names or anything concrete about this, "conspiracy"?

Lana (handing over the other data container): Yes my lord, here it is. You will find Mas Amedda amongst the conspirators!

Palpatine (concerned): Really? He is my right-hand man, I do not think he would be able to stab me in the back like you said. Let me see what you have.

Palpatine (as he plugs it into his datapad): If the proof is truly indicating him doing some shadowy deeds behind my back, I can not allow it to keep happening any further. I will question him about these things myself momentarily.

Lana: If I may suggest, Senator Mothma proposed it to be shown in the senate before letting the conspirators know we know about it! That way, they will have no chance to flee or contact each other!

Palpatine (returning the data container to you without viewing it): How very smart of her. I assume she is the one who found out about this secret. Very well, you may show this in the senate in an hour, when the next session begins.

Lana: Thank you, your excellency!

You leave and Palpatine calls his security to arrest Dantel right outside his office. In no time, a few clone troopers arrive to take Dantel into custody.

Dantel (outraged): What madness is this?! Do you know who I am?! You have no right to arrest me, I demand to be unhanded and...!

Clone trooper: I'm sorry sir, you are coming with us. Please, do not resist, or we'll be **** to use stun.

He was smart enough not to try to resist physically, just cursing Palpatine's name over and over again as he was taken away. His datapad is taken from him, with the sensitive data about your senatorial allies. Palpatine takes great pleasure at viewing them, yet, he just places the datapad into a safe and does not bring any of it to the public.

Palpatine (to himself with satisfaction): This information may be of great use to us later on... As for this investigation of Senator Mothma... We do need to speed up the timetables.

Palpatine (sending a transmission to Dooku and Grievous): Generals, the time has come. Prepare the **** on Coruscant, as soon as possible, I want the city to burn.

Dooku and Grievous: Yes, my lord!
