Mission to The Wheel

Undercover, Quinlan Vos was not responding to Tholme's messages, causing concern among the Jedi council. Aayla Secura was sent to investigate. She met up with Quinlan, under the alias "Korto Vos," and rendezvoused with Khaleen, who had pick-pocketed a separatist message from Zenex, a Falleen. The message was from Nute Gunray, who said that the seperatists were hitting the cloning facility on Kamino. After killing Zenex, and convincing the Neimoidian meant to intercept the message that he indeed had, they gave the message to the Republic.

Back on Coruscant, Count Dooku recieved a message from Tookarti, who told Dooku all that had happened. In truth, Count Dooku and Darth Sidious wanted the Republic to know about the attack, so they could repel the Separatists easier. Apparently, some Separatist leaders who were trying to replace Count Dooku were behind the attack, and the two sith lords wanted the separatist leaders to be humiliated by their defeat, and at the same time have Jedi killed in battle.
