[in holograph recording, Anakin and Padmé listen on Tatooine]

Anakin, my long-range transmitter has been knocked out. Retransmit this message to Coruscant.

The Trade Federation is to take delivery of a droid army here, and it is clear that Viceroy Gunray is behind the assassination attempts on Senator Amidala. The Commerce Guild and the Corporate Alliance have both pledged their armies to Count Dooku, and are forming a...Wait, wait. [ignites his lightsaber, blocks a few laser blasts, and a droideka appears as Obi-Wan is captured by Dooku's forces]

Understood, Master.
