Carth woke up floating in a stasis hold chamber. The air was cool and dry, not like the planet he had been living on for 3 months. He had been removed of his flight suit and was wearing a one-piece orange suit, not unlike the ones he'd seen prisoners in. Then it hit him that he was the prisoner. It all came back to him like he'd been hit with a large brick. The destruction, the death of his squad, the fight with Revan, the sight of HK-47, it all came back. With a sudden click, the energy bolts surrounding the cage disappeared and Carth was introduced to a whole new world. He figured that he was in the brig of the Star Forge, but this was larger then he had ever seen. It had to have been the size of a small village, complete with buildings and guards. Prisoners were sitting in these buildings, lying on cots, some either dead or unconscious. As he walked up to the cells, a man ran by and snatched the bag that was hung around Carth's shoulder. As he ran off, the guards slowly turned, took aim and shot him down. His charred body fell to the ground, the bag still clasped in his hand. One of the guards turned to him and stated with a evil menace on his face."

"Go and collect your rations scum, you'll need 'em."

Carth walked over to the dead body and quickly scooped up his bag and ran off. He walked to one of the back cells and was able to find an empty cot. Each cot had a view screen next to it depicting the occupant of the cot and his information. He looked at the screen next to his cot and recognized the man that had stolen his rations. The screen read:

Garrent Torgeson

6' 5" 240 lb

Reason of Containment: Assassination of Trooper Officer 167

Execution Time: 3 Days

Before his eyes the screen changed, only to view a picture of him and the listing:

Carth Onasi

6' 1' 220 lb

Reason of Containment: Rebellion against the Order, Assassination attempt of Revan

Execution Time: 7 Days

He sat down on the cot, lying back on the sweat, blood, and who-knows-what of the previous occupants. He lay there recalling the day's events, planning a schedule, and thinking of a way to escape. About an hour later, the speakers announced "LOCKDOWN" and an obnoxious beeping started. The inmates seemed to get the message as they ran towards their cots and quickly lay down as the beeping became faster. When the beeping ended, the guards began firing at the stragglers and shields went up across every bunk. A colored gas began seeping through the vent next to his cot as Carth lay back, unconscious.

A shadowy figure leapt down from above the building, sharpened pipe in hand. She crouched on top of the structure as she leaned over and watched two guards pass the row of buildings below her. She took a running start and jumped to the other side. One of the guards spun around and fired a few warning shots from his gun at the area where he saw the shadow. He walked back the other way back down the aisle, look at the rooftops. As the guard passed the fifth building for the end, he saw a shadow above him. Suddenly, two light blue legs swung down and grabbed him by the neck. He tried to scream but found no voice in his lungs, the guard fell to the ground, neck snapped. The second guard, about to turn into the next row of buildings hear the activity and quickly ran towards the situation, only to meet the end of a sharpened pipe, sticking out of his chest cavity. The guard sunk to the floor, dead. The woman dropped to the ground, and took off at a light sprint, towards building one one three eight. She had hacked into the central system earlier only to find a man she knew from what seemed to be years ago. She counted off the numbers as she ran as not to have to look up at every one. "1128, 1130, 1132, 1134…" She finally reached the building, and slipped inside. They never bothered to lock the doors anymore only because if anybody was able to escape, it's easier to kill them. She slipped her () that she had collected from one of the astromech droids and preceded to lift the shield of the cell in which the man was occupied.

Carth woke with a start; he'd never been that much of a heavy sleeper. As he leaned up in his still shielded cot he noticed a figure in the corner fiddling with a computer of some sort. As he watched, the shield of his cot disappeared and he sat up.

"There, now let's get out of here" said the shadow

"Wait, first off there's about three questions I want answered, right now. First who are you…?"

The figure stepped out into the light only to reveal a shorter person, her skin light blue in color and two tails hanging out of her head.

"Mission? Mission Vao?"

She obviously wasn't staying at the brig; she wasn't clothed in traditional prisoner garb. She was more like one of the dancers in a Hutt's palace.

"How? How can this be? I saw you! I saw you get stabbed!"

"It's a long story, right now what you need to know is I'm alive an we're getting out of here."

"But…"

"Come on! Let's go!"

The two quietly snuck out of the complex and quickly scampered up a ladder quietly hidden behind a building.

"Wait, alarms! These must be protected right?"

"Ah, I disabled them weeks ago, they were just too much of a hassle"

Mission was like an animal, swinging from bar to bar, hopping up and dodging security deterrents. She finally ended up sitting on a pipe near the ceiling fiddling around with some sort of vent.

"This is the one that'll lead us to my place, unfortunately it seems to be protected with a mine"

"Move over, this one's my specialty"

Carth climbed up to the mine and begin plugging and unplugging wires and trying to deactivate the mine. The mine finally snapped off and Carth slipped it into his rations bag. The two then slipped into the narrow vent and began the long difficult crawl towards their destination. After several minutes of slipping through thin vents, avoiding mines, and hiding from peering guards, Mission finally used her pipe to break through a vent. The vent opened to reveal a small room, full of many different species of women, all dressed like Mission. None of them seemed to care or even notice the two new entries into the room but just looked away. Mission then pulled him over to a door and slipped in.

"Ok, we'll be safe here," Mission said "For now"

"Fine, Fine, now you've got some explaining to do, specifically meaning the past three months!"

"Right, so after you left, I was able to pick myself up and find a medkit that Zaalbar was trying to use before… before… well, you know. I then made my way as far as I could towards where we had gone to that elder area, hoping to get some help and supplies. By this time, the battle was going on overhead and our ships were falling out of the sky. One of them was commanded by a group of Twi'leks, like myself who had joined in the fight after hearing about the heavy losses on our side. Most of the women were dead, about 3 left and the men seemed to be very trusting. We were heading along to the elder base when a squadron of Sith soldiers stopped us. I suggested that we fight but then the men told the soldiers that if they let them go, they'd give us as a gift! A gift! So I was taken by these men and brought to the entertainment lounge on the Star Forge, you know, where the soldiers hang out. I've never had a worse time in my life. I thought I was abused on the streets of Taris, but man, this was far above everything. So I found a way out, made a weapon, and have been sneaking around for a way out ever since. That's when I found you in the computer archives."

"Wow, and I thought I had problems"

"Yeah, well. That's why I need out"

"Yeah so, what am I supposed to do when they figure out that I'm not there and there's a man hanging out in the back room of the Entertainment Lounge?"

"That's where I had a good day today. See, when I went down there today, I changed your file. So now, according to the computer, you are dead. So what I did is on the last soldier I um… met, I borrowed his suit and so all you have to do is just lie low for a while."

Carth moved into a room and changed into the armored uniform. It felt better to be back in an armored suit with a blaster at your side, even if it was that of your enemy. As not to attract attention, Mission walked out holding hands with him. After a quick fake kiss, Carth donned his helmet and walked towards the turbolifts. After selecting a floor, he stood in the elevator, trying to start a plan in what he was going to say to his "commanding officer". The turbolift reached his floor and Carth walked out, a plan in mind.
