::Tuil Lindo, on rumors of Supreme Justice Palpatine's death.
<FONT color="#FBB917">COMSYS:</FONT> (all channels) Tuil says, "People of the galaxy, this is an important message from the Jedi. If you wish to listen, please switch over to frequency 20. The message will begin in five minutes." 
<FONT color="#FBB917">COMSYS:</FONT> Tuil says, "Citizens of the Republic. My name is Tuil Lindo, Jedi Master and servant of the Republic. I come before you this morning to confirm the death of my esteemed uncle the Supreme Justice Palpatine, who was found on Nar Shaddaa by myself and a strike team of Jedi. When we found him, he was being held in a chapel of cold horror beneath the slums of that moon. My fellow Jedi and I confronted over a hundred battle droids, but managed to defeat them before reaching Palpatine." 
<FONT color="#FBB917">COMSYS:</FONT> Tuil says, "My uncle Palpatine was being held in some kind of large clear crystal that inexplicably opened and released him as we drew near. In the confusion of the battle and my uncle's sudden freedom, an anarchist was able to enter the chapel's underworld and from his position was able to shoot and mortally wound the supreme justice." 
<FONT color="#FBB917">COMSYS:</FONT> Tuil says, "Before he died, my uncle said to me as I held him in my arms, 'The Republic must prevail, young Lindo... Truth and justice and the light... Do this... for me.' And then he expired. But I should not use such final terms. All life creates the Force and to the Force all life flows." 
<FONT color="#FBB917">COMSYS:</FONT> Tuil says, "My fellow Jedi and I were unable to track down the shooter as he disappeared in the slums of Nar Shaddaa that I have know doubt he knows well. My uncle now rests in that chapel, safe from harm from those who walk over him without knowing of the great man who lies in peace beneath their feet." 
<FONT color="#FBB917">COMSYS:</FONT> Tuil says, "Citizens of the Republic, sentients of the galaxy! Let my uncle Palpatine's death not be in vain! Let his parting words not be ignored! Let us come together and forge a new peace where the Republic may flourish! Let us return to the virtues and freedoms that have fed and nourished the Republic for over a thousand generations! During this time of uncertainty, I ask you all to trust the Jedi Knights and your elected leaders in the Galactic Senate as we work to remove the corruption that has rotted the Republic for so long and return peace and justice to the Galaxy... May the Force be with you. Lindo out."
