MindSpring- Welcome to my new story, starring Sunette Corda, a Pantoran Padawan learner! Even though this is just a short little prolouge, I do have more in store and plan to upload the 'first' chapter later tonight, or tomorrow morning.

Please review, thanks.


"This is Ahsoka to Sunette, please respond!"

Nothing but static met Ahsoka's frantic call. Her heart was in her throat, pounding so hard she felt it would burst right out of her mouth. Barriss, Rex, and Gunner were all standing behind her, curious but silent. Barriss must have felt her worry, while the clones were merely respecting their Commander.

She tried again. "Ahsoka to Sunette, please respond!"

Static.

Her finger slipped as she tried to press the button a final time. "Ah – Ahsoka to Sunette… please, please respond!"

"Ahsoka? What is it?" Sunette's voice came through the comm, a bit softly, but it came through all the same. To be fair, Sunette was miles underneath the surface with Captain Reco, so maybe – just maybe – Ahsoka didn't have anything to fear.

"Is everything all right, Ahsoka?" Sunette's voice sounded vaguely annoyed, which meant she felt fine. Ahsoka allowed herself a deep breath. "Yes, I just had a terrible feeling… I needed to check in."

Sunette laughed and said, "Yes, we're fine down here. A little damp, perhaps, but fine."

Ahsoka took a breath. She smiled a little, breaking through her worry. "Good." She turned to face the others and started to explain. "I think, when I was making the rounds around the city, someone might have overheard-"

Her sentence was cut off by a terribly loud crack coming from the comm. It was followed by a short scream, then static.

There was a horrible moment of silence. Then a low, animalistic gut-wrenching cry of pain.

Then static.
