EXT. HYPERSPACE


The Jaren?s Dream rockets through hyperspace.

INT. JAREN?S DREAM - COCKPIT

Ben and Kane are sitting at the controls, mulling over data screens.

KANE
The damage isn?t nearly as bad as I thought.

BEN
Yeah. The hyperdrive is slow, but it?ll get us to Kharam.

KANE
We should be going after dad.

BEN
Where do we even start? At least home at the Temple we?ll have some resources to work with.

Kane sighs, staring out into hyperspace.

KANE
Great Jedi we turned out to be. Couldn?t even save our own father.

BEN
Don?t worry, we?ll find him. I?m going to the lounge, you coming?

KANE
Guess I might as well.

Kane grumbles, following Ben out of the cockpit.

INT. JAREN?S DREAM - HALLWAY

On the way to the lounge Ben and Kane walk past a reptilian creature hidden in the shadows. He slinks out after they pass and heads into the cockpit.

EXT. SPACE ? DOOM KEEP


The Coalition Prison Station, Doom Keep, hangs silently in the darkness of space. It is gothic, black, and heavy.

INT. DOOM KEEP ? NYX?S QUARTERS

Darth Nyx stands rigidly in the center of her sparse quarters. The room is dark, open, and hexagonally shaped. Barely seen on the walls are several types of melee weapons. Her eyes are transfixed on a viewscreen, showing a tactical readout on the planet of Kharam. The viewscreen is interrupted but the face of WARDEN KVEZ, a heavy-set, stern man.

DARTH NYX
Yes, Warden Kvez?

WARDEN KVEZ
Lady Nyx, the prisoner has been incarcerated.

DARTH NYX
Good. Has the serum been administered?

WARDEN KVEZ
Of course, m?lady.

DARTH NYX
Excellent. Screen off.

The screen turns off and Nyx bows to one knee.

DARTH NYX (con?d)
Holo.

Holobeams activate from four corners, forming a hologram field in front of her. It?s dense, and flickering, with heavy interference. In the depth of the image the shadowy, hooded, face of DARTH SECUTOS can barely be glimpsed.

DARTH SECUTOS
Yes, Lady Nyx?

DARTH NYX
I have captured Skywalker.

DARTH SECUTOS
Which one?

DARTH NYX
The father.

DARTH SECUTOS
The father is unimportant to my plans-

DARTH NYX
I am aware, m?lord. I suspect the sons will come to rescue-

DARTH SECUTOS
Alert all Coalition forces. The sons must be found.

DARTH NYX
Yes m?lord.

DARTH SECUTOS
I will not tolerate further failure.

Secutos cuts the communication.
