Grievous entered amused the Command Bridge.
'Sir?
'We will show these Corellians scums who they are dealing with! Open...
'Sir, Count Dooku is contacting us.
'Put him through!
The noble Sith apearred on the holo-projector.
'General? What are you still doing on Corellia?
'I was about to finish the negotiations
... my way!
'What do you mean?
'I went on the planet surface and they tried to assassinate me! I am going to erase them from existence as well as their planets!
'Are you out of your mind? Why join the CIS and die if dissobey! We need proper negotiations in order to succed. I am sending an ambassador from Raxus Prime to help you. But I need you to remain there until he arrives. Without your fleet, the system will immidiately slip out of our hands!
He smiled.
'Now General, enjoy your little vacation. I can tell you the exact time when the ambassador will arrive. Good luck!
'What? No!
The image faded.
'Arrrgghhh!
'Sir...
Grievous couldn't control himself and bashed the droid's head. The metal flew in the air crushed by the General's heavy hand.
Meanwhile, on Serenno... Dooku was standing on his royal chair, studying last battles. The Star Forge was almost completing a full badge of Lucrehulk Battleships and 200.000 droids. It was inctedible. Sudennly, someone called him.
Dooku responded annoyed. He bowed immidiately in the front of the new figure.
'Darth Tyrannus.
'Master...
'May I ask you what happened on Corellia? Where did you get all the Malevolence Ships?
'Master we have acquired a new factory.
'What are you saying? Why have you not announced me?
'I was going to! Grievous has went on a special journey, and we have discovered a functioning Star Forge!
'A Star Forge... how fortunate was Grievous to do that...
'He came up with the whole plan. It was a great idea. With this factory in our possesion, we can build the Special Weapon we are working on.
'No! Remember that we aren't going to annihilate the Republic! Hm... good. Your plan is very good...
'Why so, my master?
'Now that Grievous has control over the planet with important spice trade routes, that means he can cripple the Underworld. Even destroy it's bases of operation, leaving them at the mercy of the Republic and the Confederacy.
'But why is the Underworld so important?
'Have you learnt nothing from our last incident? If the Underworld is united by a powerfull person, then they can pose a threat. Darth Maul's Shadow Collective proved this. We can't let them regain their strenght. So , when our Empire will rise, the Underworld will be too weak and they will soon bow before us too. Order Grievous to contact Daryion. He's my contact on Corellia. The General will have to deal with the gang leaders... alone.
'Yes master!
'Tyrannus, give me the coordinates for our Star Forge.
'Patching them now.
'Very well. You have done perfect. Soon, when the war will finish, we will use this new factory to maintain control on every planet. Farewell.
'Master.
Sidious faded. Count Dooku contacted fastly the General.
'Yes, Count?
'I have the solution for your stationary visit on Corellia.
'What would that be?
'As you may know, Corellia is an important spice trade planet, with high leaders of the Underworld. I want you to eliminate them, the subtle way. No need to use your droid armies. After the crime lords will fall, Corellia's goverment will bow before us.
'As you wish. But how am I able to locate these gang leaders?
'In the central cantina there is a bartender, Daryion. He is our spy on Corellia, and know everything there is to. Find him and get the locations of the bosses.
'I will.
'Goodbye, General!
