Stalen Preen paced with anticipation occasionally chewing on his shirt collar.
Preen's face was one of a neurotic petite man. No one passing by would ever guess that he held any place in the former empire, especially a governorship of a core planet.
"Well, did it work?" he asked Taloonen
Taloonen, a very well built and defined man had laser-trimmed hair and a personality to match. Looking at Taloonen one would perceive a very highly schooled individual, but he, being brought up on the streets of Clorein V was exactly the opposite. Fighting for everything he ever gotten in life had left him impulsive and shallow hiding behind organized clothing and flashy weapons.
"This takes time in order for this to work Preen, if we even make the slightest miscalculation he will be lost forever." Taloonen replied to him sternly as he looked over the readouts of the bio bed station.
Preen shook violently. "Time is always AGAINST US we must start NOW! The New Republic is taking over OUR EMPIRE fraction by fracccc…" He choked on saliva and began to cough, he had trouble controlling himself when sorting out thoughts of The Circle.
"Very well, it is time." Taloonen replied looking over the bio scan one last time before entering commands into a medical computer that began the rejuvenation process.
Outside, Preen could see a storm brewing up as waves crashed against the spiny rock formation on a side their cave. Preen breathed an alleviated breath, on Famem this was consider nice weather. "Hissssssss." Came a sound behind him. He turned to see the pressure seal on the bio bed was releasing and sliding back. Even though the storm outside was getting explosive, Preen couldn't take his eyes on what laid on the bio bed.
"How is his health? Is he aware of everything?" Preen's mind filled with millions of questions as the mysterious man on the bio bed lifted his torso up and took a look around the room. He soon turned his attention to the two men staring at him. Though confused he wasn't frightened. Yes, he knew these people but couldn't exactly place where or when he knew them from. Taloonen looking over him placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Lay back down my friend all is well, rest it's been a long journey answers will come in time." Taloonen promised. The man on the bio bed responded obediently.
The man felt drowsy and fell asleep fast. His dreams were filled with awkwardly familiar images. Those of a young man with blonde hair and sapphire eyes looking down upon him laughing, then another with himself sitting in a chair watching over a huge city with it's citizens bowing down to him. Eventually these visions brought him back to the young man laughing.
"You better inform The Circle" Taloonen said to Preen. Preen could see Taloonen cringe fearfully as the words "The Circle" passed through his thin lips.

Mara and Luke were putting dishes away after their lunch when he suffered a sharp pain in his temples and collapsed sending the plates to crash loudly on the Gallery floor.
"Luke!" Mara shouted grabbing him from under his arms and lifting him up.
Luke was so dazed he had trouble standing up on his own. Mara hued nervously, "What's the matter?"
"I'm not sure, one second I was fine and then boom a sharp pain expelled in my body. It, i..it was like I couldn't feel the potency of it but I knew it was there" he said regaining his stamina.
"Damn it! This must be the after effects of those drugs they used on us on the planet." Mara made a tight fist.
"You're probably right maybe we should go lay down for a bit." Luke beamed. He knew this pain was not from the drugs administered on the planet, it couldn't have been, or else Mara would be hurting too. At the moment He decided not to worry Mara about what he realized subconsciously that it was.
"You know for a Jedi Master you sure have a one track mind."
Her quarters were white and nicely spaced. Luke and Mara looked each other sheepishly. They walked over to her cot, laid down and held each other.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Mara asked one final time, Mara being a Jedi herself figured out that Luke was definitely holding something back. Luke just held her more tightly giving her a reassuring kiss.

Preen walked into a private room towards the main communications panel and punched in his access code. An eerie feeling came over him, he never liked dealing with The Circle, for it was they who reached out had control of Preen and told him what needed to be done and how to go about it.
The halo screen lit up with a foggy picture of six red robed figures.
"Masters!" Preen sputtered bowing humbly.
"Did the doctor finish with the darksider?" One of the figures questioned. Preen felt nauseated, he hated being a puppet, he wondered to himself how he got so deep in this project. The voice of the speaker also gave him a disagreeable feeling, it was so vile that his throat closed involuntary.
"Yes, he's all complete as you commanded."
The figure's voice filled the room, "Good, prepare for our arrival in 5 days time. Make sure everything is set to go. Do not allow anything to get in your way." It gave Preen the sense of a teeth-grinding screech, like when someone runs their fingers down a chalkboard.
The screen went blank and Preen rose from the floor. He hates talking with The Circle, these were not good people even for Preen's standards. After their conversation it felt as if they had sucking the energy directly from him.
