Summary
No one could remember the last time the Emperor had taken a day off.
Certainly not Grand Moff Tarkin, who had known Sheev Palpatine back when he was still fond of subtlety and the color burgundy. Nor could Mas Amedda, who’d spent three decades at the Sith’s right hand, ever recall the Emperor scheduling “personal time.” Even Darth Vader, who kept his own counsel and wore his own grief, seemed a little off-kilter—if, in fact, a cybernetic murder-machine could be off-kilter.
So when the memo arrived, it set off a chain reaction that would have done credit to a rebel sabotage team.
