The end of the conspiracy

You return to Mothma with the news, she's most happy with the chancellor's openness to this matter. You give her the data container, so that she may present the evidence firsthand.

Mon: Thank you Lana, with this, we will do a great service to the Republic!

Lana: The credit is all yours senator. I will let you bask in the glory that will be yours, once the conspirators have been apprehended.

Valare is oddly chuckling behind your back.

Lana (thinking): What's so funny now?

Valare: Oh nothing, nothing at all! Not yet, at least!

Lana (thinking): What is the meaning of that?!

Valare (fading away): You will see that for yourself soon enough.

Lana (thinking): You are driving me mad sometimes...

Valare (with a voice from the distance): I stuck around because I had ****. I won't help you all the time, just because you have my sabre...

Lana (thinking): Oh, that girl...

You walk to Padmé's repulsorpod and listen to the debate with her. She's confident the voting will go in your favour and not pass the Capital Security Act. With all the efforts made by her and her allies, there might be just enough senators to prevent an absolute majority, required to pass it.

Palpatine: Senators! Before we hold the final vote in this matter, Senator Mothma would like to present us something, that, as far as I have been told, will be rather... Shocking to many, but she assured me, that it must be seen by all in this senate. Senator Mothma.

Mon (flying in with her repulsorpod): Thank you, chancellor! I would not like to waste any words, as you will see, the video will speak for itself. I worked hard to get this, it may change the view of many about the Republic. Here it is.

Valare is now laughing loudly.

Lana (thinking): Okay, what's so funny?! This is a serious matter!

Valare: Time and time, I am amazed by your lack of senses. You truly haven't noticed it, have you?

Lana (thinking): What should I have noticed now?!

Valare: The files she's about to present... The chancellor exchanged them when you gave him the data container.

Lana (thinking): What?!

Mon (presenting the video): And here it is!

Lana (thinking): Oh no, what's on it?!

Valare (chuckling): Here we go!

The video plays and it shows Mon Mothma being gangbanged by three senators.

Following a moment of shocked silence, a burst of laughter erupts, to most of Mothma's allies's horror.

Mon (stopping the video): No, no, no no! Stop! How...?! How did this...?!

Senators all around the senate (as they laugh their asses off): This truly required some hard work!... How disgusting, she was doing it with THREE at the same time?!... What a schutta, and she's getting paid while doing these things!... Her mouth was put to better use than talking all day, that's for sure!... What a shameless little whore, showing us this, here! This is an insult to every senator!... My view of the Republic has really changed forever!...

Padmé: What was that about?! Why would she show that?! Now our cause is absolutely lost...! We have lost our reputation and credibility forever!

Lana: There must have been a misunderstanding...! Maybe we can still fix this!

Valare (laughing): No, there wasn't, you both have just got pranked! Especially her! On live! This is so humiliating, I would jump off my repulsorpod if I were her!

Palpatine (while the senate is still echoing with laughter and Amedda is trying to restore order): Senators, senators! While the unorthodox approach of Senator Mothma has left me too with a... Degree of strange feelings. As much as I agree with her idealism of peace and social welfare, this approach has given me a pause. I suppose she had good intentions of showing us what we had just seen and why she was busy with other "businesses" instead of politics, while within these walls. Let us give her a chance to explain this, maybe we will understand her motivations and intentions better afterward. Senator.

Mon (red headed, utterly humiliated and petrified): I... I...

Padmé: I can't let her be humiliated any further! I'll go and do whatever I can...!

Lana: What are you going to do...?

Padmé (flying in with her repulsorpod to the middle of the chamber): Senators! What you have seen was hard evidence of Senator Mothma's tiresome and unforgiving work to help those living in poverty on Coruscant! As we all know, if this act is passed, the Republic will halve its spending on healthcare, education, and other social areas on Coruscant. The lower levels of the city are already feeling the cost of this war, so why punish them further? This body was created to represent the common people galaxywide. Senator Mothma had been doing everything in her capabilities to raise attention and support for these people! This is what a senator should do! This is what we all should do! Raise awareness and represent them, the best way we can! I believe you can all understand how hard a decision it was for her to show this video, to give up pride and place our people before her own interests. I unconditionally support her way of thinking! I dare say this is our duty and I do not know of any other senator who would have gone to such lengths to serve those in need! Therefore... To show my appreciation of her work... I... I will follow in her footsteps and raise awareness similarly to her...! By stripping naked in front of you all, for the good of the people!

She unbuttoned her dress and cast it onto the floor behind her, with her skirt pushed down under her knees.

She desperately tried to look confident, but her fear couldn't be fully disguised. She was trembling as she was standing bare for the entire senate. But if only it had been just the senate... But the news droids were flying all around her, making a live broadcast of everything that was happening, galaxywide. There was nobody that could understand her shame, the sacrifice she had just done for her friend. None, but a few who had been in similar situations before, like Mothma just now, or you previously. In opposition to the time when the video was played, the senate remained quiet this time. A handful of senators, like from the Trade Federation or the Techno Union, were shouting insults at Padmé, but they too realized the tide had turned and they better stay quiet. Padmé has single handedly turned the utter humiliation of her friend into an act of courage and honour by joining her and providing a worthy speech. However, the media rarely focuses of the weight of the words or actions, the broadcasting droids were instead focusing on Padmé's recently revealed bodyparts, showing them in a very close range from all angles.

Valare (with admiration): Wow... Your friend is braver than I thought! Turning a galaxywide humiliation into a weapon to win her cause... She has bigger balls than all the senators in this chamber combined! Respect to her!

Lana (thinking): Yeah, she's braver than most! I have been in some disastrous situations myself but... Rarely as willingly as she is.

Valare (fading): Hm, I don't do this often but... Since I like her, I would save her the rest of the shame.

Lana (thinking): What do you mean? Hey?

Just as you were saying, all the news droids were suddenly malfunctioning returning to their charging stations to recharge, essentially ending the broadcast.

Palpatine (sensing he's going to lost the vote so he must come up with something): Khm. Senators, we have just witnessed the unwavering determination of two exceptionally courageous and righteous senators! I do say, we should listen to their words and not let the needy in trouble! Henceforth, I would like to offer a new solution. Since we cannot allow the city to deteriorate militarily,{if Bail = false} especially as Senator Organa is still in the medbay due to the attack in the senate,{endif} neither socially, as we are here to care for the people firstly and win the war secondly, I propose we take a new 3 million credit loan from the Banking Clan, to fund both projects! The war will be won, the people will be cared for and the Republic will repay the loan once the war is over.

The senate applauds, some saying they hope there will be similar "shows", during other sessions too. Everyone is satisfied with the final outcome, save for two, who got the worst of this session, Mon and Padmé. After leaving the chamber, Mon began crying and rushed back to her office, Padmé shortly behind her. While rushing after Mothma, Padmé shouts to you.

Padmé: Lana, no word of this to Anakin, understood?!

Lana: Y-yeah, sure...!

Lana (thinking): This just went live in the whole galaxy, how am I supposed to keep it a secret?! By the way, Anakin has just asked me to look out for her! How in the Mustafar will I be able to explain this to him if he finds out?!

Your holocommunicator is beeping, it's Anakin.

Lana (hesitating to answer): Blast, there he is...! He must have seen the news...! I'll be so dead when he returns from his mission...!

Anakin (casually): Hello Lana! How is your secret mission going?

Lana (lying badly): Hello Anakin, ehm, it's... it's great, yeah, great, everything is absolutely great!

Anakin (turning serious): Good to hear. You know, I have heard the news recently... About what happened in the senate...

Lana: Oh, oooh, did you...?

Anakin: Is Padmé alright?! Is she hurt?! I heard that the terrorist was in point-blank rage of her! {if Dantel = false}They say you saved her life all by yourself!{endif}

Lana (relieved): Ah, y-yes, that's how it was! Everything was under control, had you not sensed the danger lingering around her earlier, I wouldn't have been able to save her! The real credit is yours!

Anakin: That is kind of you to say. I am already heading back to Coruscant on board of my ship, thanks for looking out for her while I was away!

Lana: Don't mention it, Padmé is a friend of mine too! Maybe not as close a friend as she is to you, but...!

Anakin (with a grim face, since the entire bridge is hearing you): You said what...?

Lana: Nothing, sorry, I must go now, safe travels, may the **** be with you, bye!

You cut transmission and sigh. You will try to avoid him in the near future. As for now, back to the temple.
