Cato Neimoidia is a very unique world. A planet covered in fog, with all the bridge cities suspended over an acidic ocean below. Rock arches with lots of forests and grasslands.

The Naboo ship descended to a specific city and landed in front of the estate of Lot Dodd, a Nemodian who was doing business with Clovis today.

As the gangway descended, Clovis, Padmé, and C-3P0 stepped down, only to be greeted by Lot Dodd himself, with a pair of gold-plated maid droids behind him.

“Ah, Senator Clovis…and Senator Amidala, this is an unexpected surprise.

"Senator Dodd," Padmé greeted. "Please forgive me for coming uninvited."

"Oh, no. It's nice to meet you, dear. I hope we can communicate more.

"I came here with the same hope." Senator Naboo turned slightly and met Clovis' eyes. "I believe this is an opportunity."

“Me too, Senator. Me too.

Black Widow stayed back, her eyes managing to catch the Wasp flying past them as they entered the building.

Once inside, Black Widow and the Wasp saw many Nemodians and maid droids walking around, the former discussing business or something, while Padmé and her group were guided down the corridor to where they were temporarily staying.

"This place looks like an overpriced burlesque house," the Wasp commented, flying through the corridors of the institution they were currently staying at.

"Anything of note?" Black Widow asked cautiously as she followed Padmé and 3P0.

"It's just that there are a lot of female robots here. They feel like Nemodian dolls." Wasp said, "I feel it's dirty here."

"Totally agree," said Black Widow. "At least seeing some battle droids here makes me feel better."

Although Padmé didn't voice it, she also felt a little "dirty," as the two put it. These droids around her were more like...

The Wasp whizzed around, flying between several legs of the people who lived in the building, and then flew back in time to find Dodd and Clovis walking away in a rather distant manner.

"Guys, I've got my eyes on Clovis and the Senator," said the Wasp.

"I'll go check it out," Padmé interrupted.

"Padmé, are you sure?" Black Widow asked, surprised by the sudden statement.

"There's something off about this place," Padmé said. "I think it would be best for Hope to take the time to scout out the entire building. Leave Clovis to me. After all, he is an old friend of mine.

"If you say so."

"Might as well take the Senator's advice." Black Widow said as she began to check the room for any suspicious bugs. "I don't know what's going on, but the office might be a good start.

The Wasp continued her reconnaissance of the building when she spotted a mysterious figure walking from room to room.

The Wasp's eyes narrowed as she followed the figure as it began to descend to the lower level of the building.

The man continued down another set of stairs and stood in a room with a holo-table in the middle.

Approaching it, pressing one of its controls, and waiting a moment, the Wasp flew in front of the man and stopped behind a pillar while looking down at the person she was interested in.

After a few more seconds, a holographic signal was emitted from the holo-table, and what appeared to be an older gentleman appeared in front of the person. The person's mask retracted, revealing a young Mirialan woman with yellow skin and yellow eyes, with red tattoos running down her face from the inner corners of both of her eyes.

"Master Dooku," the Mirialan spoke in a calm voice, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head.

"Chezo Niva." Dooku said in the same calm tone. "My waiter, what is the purpose of this call?"

"Scipio's senator has arrived as planned." Chezo said, looking up at her master. "He and Dodd are now discussing the construction of the robot factory.

"Good, good," Dooku said approvingly. "But that's not why or why you called, is it?"

"There is a person of interest to you who has come with Senator Scipio." Chezo said directly. "The person you mentioned before. Senator of Naboo, Padmé Amidala.

"Senator Amidala is on Cato Neimoidia?" Dooku asked sharply.

"Yes, she accompanied Senator Scipio to this planet." Chezo said. "Master Dooku, what should she do?"

"Keep an eye on her, but don't do anything drastic," Dooku said. "The last thing we need is the Republic snooping here, but if something unexpected happens..."

The meaning of Dooku's unfinished words was clear enough to bring a wicked grin to Chezo's face, her yellow eyes burning with understanding.

"Of course, Master Dooku." Chezo said with an evil grin.

After hearing all this, the Wasp quickly jumped down from the pillar where she was hiding and flew out to meet Black Widow.

"Natasha, we are in trouble."

Along with Padmé, she walked as slowly and quietly as possible. It took a moment to properly track Senator Rush and Lott. She eventually found them in a dark part of the library, with something projected on the holo-table.

“—This investment by the Banking Clan will create unimaginable war profits,” Rush said to the Nemodians around him, “the largest robot factory ever built.

Padmé's hopes for her old friend were quickly dashed. It seemed that the man she once cared deeply for had now joined the ranks of the enemy.

"As long as the Republic doesn't find out." Dodd muttered. "You shouldn't have brought members of the Senate here.

Senator Naboo then heard a series of excited clicks in the room, leaving her wanting to hear more.

"I agree, Master Bogle. We took all the risk, so we should get a larger share of the profits.

"Lord Bogle?" Padmé thought. "Grand Duke of Geonosus?"

Rush became very upset. "Are you suggesting that we change the terms of the agreement?" He shook his head and looked at Dodd and Bogle. "A deal is a deal. I hate it when you go back on your word.

The Neimoidian scoffed. "I remind you, Clovis. You are on my planet now. It would be unwise to threaten me."

"This is not your planet anymore, not since you mortgaged your shares to the banking family in exchange for a share in this new robot factory."

Padmé narrowed her eyes, knowing that she needed to get what was on that holo-table no matter what.

As before, Senator Naboo quietly returned to the residence assigned to her.
