    The cramped cell was silent, save for the persistent drone of the force field and the mechanical, rhythmic trudge of B1 battle droids outside. You were a little cold...


    You were a new trophy awaiting inspection. You were only a padawan, but far from being a defenseless lamb. And your shepherd, your Jedi master, had failed to save you...

You had escaped him more than once. But now...
