The inside of the kaminoan clinic ship, every element of interior design is reminiscent of the ample halls found in the cities of Kamino. To welcome Rey, Han and Finn, seven soldiers in oddly familiar armor arrive.
"Are those… clones?" says Rey.
"Only the finest warriors in the galaxy, ma'am," says their captain.
They wore white plastoid plate from top to bottom. The new clone helmets still shared the iconic Mandalorian T visor but they seemed to have concealed respirators, making them look more minimalistic.
"You are asked to wait for Madam Ko. She will be here shortly."
The troopers stand in half-moon formation, impeding way into the halls of the ship. Short of a couple of minutes, an elongated alien figure turns around a corner behind the troopers. She is kaminoan, no doubt, but confined to a high-tech lab white suit. Her head is covered in a full plate mask, with lights flickering behind the black visor meant for her species' unusually large eyes.
"I apologise if my expressionless visage disturbs you, but there is little that remains of it," her voice is slow and robotic, then turning to Han. "You must be the renowned republic agent."
The troopers make way for her.
"Nice bodyguards you have there, Yan," says Han.
"Security is paramount for the operation of this facility, and the new generation of clones are more than adequate for that role. They now make the bulk of the wealthiest private armies in the outer rim. It is a shame the Republic no longer sees the value of our work."
"It's a real shame the Republic isn't big on slavery, isn't it?" he says, sarcastically.
"Perhaps it is the fact we only chose humans as cloning templates that bothers you, though one must admit your species are incredibly versatile," she pauses, "but we are not here to discuss technicalities, are we? The former stormtrooper; is he with your group?"
"It's me," says Finn.
Yan Ko looks to Han.
"I can confirm that I have received the first half of the payment for this service. There is nothing in the way of the procedure," she says, then turning to the clone captain. "VH-4177 and VH-6352, escort the former stormtrooper to the surgery room. The remainder of you will escort Han Solo's party to the waiting room."
"At once, ma'am," says the captain, then turning to his troopers and gesturing them to carry out orders.
Finn follows Yan Ko and parts ways with Rey and Han.
"Finn!" calls Rey as he's on his way. "May the force be with you."
Finn smiles at Rey before he walks away.
"Come on, kid," Han says to Rey, putting a hand on her shoulder. "You can take him on a date later."
Hand then contacts Poe over the comlink. Poe is on the pilot's seat, with Chewie at his side.
"Everything's going according to plan," says Han over the comlink. "Yan Ko just took Finn to the surgery room."
"I've got a bad feeling about this…" says Poe.
"I've been through worse," says Han. "Chewie can tell you."
Chewie growls over the comlink.
"Get the Falcon into orbit," says Han. "We're going to need pickup after Finn's done."
