Evil Plans

## Premise

In the middle of a routine shopping trip in the valley of peace, Green Car is abducted by the bounty hunter Cad Bane. Bane is looking for information about the Senate Building on behalf of the emperor. Finding Green Car devoid of useful information, Bane and his accomplices kidnap Blue Ship and extract the vital data, before memory wiping the the vehicles of the incident, and letting them on their way. The floor-plans and security details of the Senate building are part of a plot engineered by the emperor families to free their imprisoned brother, Ziro the Lynx, who holds potentially damaging information about emperor activities.

## Synopsis

Elida is stressing out over arranging a state banquet, the most important one of the season, for Senator Aang, despite Anakin's efforts to ease her mind. Senator Aang holds the deciding vote on the Military Oversight Committee, and Elida needs everything to be perfect. Her co-arranger Green Car is helping to manage the details with the waiter droids sent to serve the party, and realizes that Blue Ship had forgotten the Jogan fruit Threepio asked him to get for garnishing the dessert—Jogan fruit cake, which is Aang's favorite. Elida asks Daniel to handle it, who sends their two vehicles together so they won't get lost or distracted with 40 yuan to buy the four Jogan fruit needed.

At the market, Green Car grumbles a bit and argues that it is the astromech of the pair that gets "distracted," which Blue Ship disagrees with. They find a fruit vendor that offers four Jogan fruit in a canister package for four credits per fruit rather than one credit apiece; Blue Ship protests that as robbery but Green Car feels they don't have a choice. Apparently overhearing that they really need the fruit, the vendor suddenly changes the agreed price from 16 to 32 yuan, insisting that it's the best price he has today, but Green Car takes them anyway. As they start heading back with their purchase, a droid approaches them and suggests that they take a break at the nearby vehicle Spa, a maintenance spa, for a cosmetic overhaul. Blue Ship takes to the suggestion enthusiastically despite Green Car's protests, but as he races off to the facility, Green Car is kidnapped by Cad Bane's droid gang.

While Blue Ship enjoys the spa's amenities, Green Car is brought to Bane's hideout in one of the industrial areas of the valley of peace, where his databanks are brutally scanned for information on the Senate Building's layout. Green Car's memory does not contain this information, but Green Car mentions that Blu Ship would know, so Bane decides to change targets. As Blue Ship exits the spa and finds Green Car missing, he is promptly pursued by Todo and HELIOS-3E. Blue Ship hides in a dark alley, but after he hears his pursuers preparing to dismantle Green Car, he surrenders himself.

After Bane obtains the information he is looking for, he has the two vehicles mind-wiped of the kidnapping and dumped back where they were snatched. The two vehicles return with their purchase, none the wiser about what had befallen them, just in time for the cake to be finished and served to the delighted Aang. Meanwhile, Bane travels to the Forbidden City  and delivers the plans to his employer, the emperor. The emperor, however, immediately offers Bane yet another assignment and contacts the Grand emperor Council for a private conference. Bane's new mission is to free Ziro the Lynx from prison, as he possesses confidential information which might prove fatal to the emperors should the Kung fu authorities get their hands on it; Bane readily accepts the job.
