What's next?
Security above all
Ranvi: I can't help but wonder what Anakin and Padmé might be up to in her house all day... They really could have come with us for a walk today...
Lana: I might have a few ideas...!
Ranvi: Lana! Don't even think on such things...! They surely would never...!
Lana (sarcastically): I haven't said a single thing! I meant they must be listening to senate debates about important matters... What were you thinking Ranvi...?!
Ranvi: Of course, you were thinking that...!
Ahsoka: Padmé has been working very hard ever since I have known her... She must be taking some time to relax in her old house, while Anakin stands guard outside to prevent anything bad from happening. I don't think there is any more to that...!
Drek: If you want, we can settle this debate right now.
Lana: What do you mean Drek?
Drek: I have set up security cameras all over the house.
Lana: You did, what?!
Ranvi: DREK!
Drek: Wait, don't misunderstand it!
Ahsoka: That could hardly be misunderstood!
Drek: Wait, wait, let me explain it...! This isn't the first time somebody tries to murder the senator.
Ahsoka: Yes, but Anakin is there to protect her!
Drek: Yes well... Do you remember that incident on Coruscant? Back then it was but a miracle she survived when Anakin and Master Kenobi were protecting her! I wasn't going to let such incident happen again!
Lana: Why didn't you tell anybody you set up cameras?
Drek: There were cameras on Coruscant, but she had them all covered... It was better do it in secret!
Lana: Where did you set those cameras up?
Drek: In every room, apparently.
Ranvi: Every room...? Even in the bathroom...?
Drek: You can never know where an assassination attempt might take place...!
Ahsoka: YOU PERVERT!
Lana: Were you watching us in there...?!
Ranvi: DREK...!
Drek: No, of course not! Nothing like that! I haven't been watching anybody...!
Lana: Than how are you using those cameras?!
Drek: Look... IF there will be an assassination, it will target Padmé... I was only checking on her in times she was alone...
Ahsoka: "Checking on her..."
Drek: Yes, you have my word, nothing else happened!
Lana: So, let me get this straight... You were watching Padmé while she was alone...? Were you doing it at 0-24...?
Drek: No...
Ranvi: Drek...!
Drek: No! I might have been watching her a little, but that is all...!
Ranvi: I can't believe you were doing such a thing...! Spying on women...!
Drek: Spying on women and protecting a senator's life with anything we have is different!
Ahsoka: Ookay, let's say we believe you...
Lana: Still, I wonder what is going on back in the house... Could we check on them right now?
Ranvi: Lana, that's a violation of their privacy!
Lana: Haven't you said they are surely not doing anything like that?
Ranvi: Yees, but...! Still...!
Ahsoka (nervously): I agree with Ranvi, we better not spy on them!
Drek: Lana, what is your call? Check on them or not?
