Tech waited outside Hunter's testing room for his tests to finish. Tech had completed his own testing for that day with Nala Se. He liked doctor Se's testing the best, she knew just how much to push him before anything started to really hurt. Hunter had to deal with the trainer all clones liked the least today. Bric. Bric was a ruthless bounty Hunter hired to train the clones. This time, he could here Bric yelling and the occasional Yelp from Hunter.

Tech flinched whenever he heard his older brother Yelp. Soon, he heard a scream. He figured Bric was playing some sound too high pitched for him or Bric to hear, but Hunter could hear everything. 'The training should have concluded by now..' Tech thought. Bric was half an hour late.

"C'mon, it's just a little water!" Yelled Bric.

'Alright, that's not a normal thing.' Tech thought. Using his data pad, Tech hacked into the security camera watching Hunter and Bric. Bric was dousing Hunter in what appeared to be alternating cold and hot water. 'No doubt to aggravate his senses.' Thought Tech, becoming more angry by the second.

"Come on, get up!" Yelled Bric.

Hunter stood up, clutching the wall to stay upright. Hunter was breathing heavily and his skin was turning red from the heat of the water. Tech bit down on his lip as Hunter struggled to move. The clone was certainly not in any condition to be doing anything. Tech watched as the walls on the room started to reflect different shades of neon coming from lights in the corners of the wall. Hunter screamed, still under the pressure of the water turning from hot to cold.

'That's the last straw.' Thought Tech. The clone turned off the security feed, opening another section of the data pad and connecting to Nala Se's data pad, which she was shown to be currently using, and hooked the security feed to her data pad.


Nala Se was with Lama Su. Nala Se was showing her prime Minister the newest cloning data on Jango Fett, when the security feed popped up. Nala Se and Lama Su looked at the feed for a moment and Nala Se gasped.

"Nala Se, what is the meaning of this?" Asked the Prime Minister. "This clone's training is not important as of the moment."

Nala Se felt her anger rising with the Prime Minister. Sure, the Kaminoens owned the clones, but they were her creations. Technically living beings, even if artificial. Nala Se watched the feed for another moment before walking out of the Prime Minister's office. ' Who does that bounty hunter think he is? He can't overwhelm that clone's senses like that, it will damage him.' Several of the clones saluted to her as she passed, but she paid no mind. Walking quickly towards the training room which Hunter was in. Tech saw her approaching, stood up and saluted.

"Doctor Se, I'm sorry for the interruption but I did not think it was necessary to have Hunter experience such pain-"

Nala Se gave him a quick nod before marching up to the control panel. She heard her clone begging that damn bounty hunter to stop, which only made her walk quicker. The Kaminoen turned off the water and the neon lights, bursting through the door to give that bounty Hunter a piece of her mind.

"You there. Did you read what was asked of you for the clones of clone force ninety nine? CT-9901 is easily damageable at the moment, and cannot be subjected to this kind of torture..!"

Tech watched from outside. He had never seen a Kaminoen so angry.

"Listen, Doctor, I know how to train soldiers, I didn't need to read the-"

"Did you perhaps think that enhanced clones such as CT-9901 would need different kinds of training? The clone is 5! Only having the mind and body of an eleven year old. I am under the impression that bounty hunters such as yourself thrive on reputation. I would not like to ruin it, however keep training my clone so terribly they end up like that?" Nala Se gestured to Hunter, still curled up on the floor, soaked from the water and bruises forming thanks to the pressure.

"You will be dismissed." She finished.

"Yes, Doctor." He grumbled.

Bric left the room as Nala Se went over to examine Hunter. She put a hand on his face to get a better look at him and he yelped.

"CT-990- ...Hunter, open your eyes, please. Nothing will happen."

Hunter did as he was asked, eyes wet and full of fear, but they were not clouded, a good sign for him. Nala Se held out a cool moist piece of cloth and gently put it to Hunter's bruised skin. He flinched, but it didn't hurt him.

"Do you have any injuries past the bruising?" She asked.

Hunter shook his head once and Nala Se nodded.

"Stay in your barracks for the rest of the day with CT-9903. I will instruct him to bring you your dinner."

Nala Se helped him up and guided the young clone out to be escorted by Tech. The younger clone wasted no time in getting Hunter to the barracks where Wrecker and Crosshair were waiting.

"Hunter, why are you soaking wet?" Asked Crosshair.

Tech glared at him and got Hunter a towel. The clone's skin still felt like it was on fire as Tech lead him to his bunk several minutes later.

"Are you alright?" Tech whispered.

"Yeah.. I'm f-fine.. I will be in a few minutes." Replied Hunter.

Tech pulled some of Hunter's hair out of his face and put a hand on his shoulder as he had seen Nala Se do.

"Crosshair, would you dim the lights?" Asked Tech.

Crosshair did as he was told, dimming the lights and Hunter was practically asleep in seconds.

"What happened?" Wrecker tried to whisper.

"Bric was training Hunter today. It appeared as though he was trying to overwhelm Hunter's senses." Replied Tech. "You know that large drain?"

Wrecker and Crosshair easily connected the pieces.

"Amazingly, Nala Se got angry and told off Bric."

"Nala Se." replied a skeptic Crosshair.

Tech nodded.

"I know Hunter is grateful."

Just then, a small flimsy package was slid under their door with the words "For Hunter. From Nala Se."

Tech opened the package to find a headband of sorts. Looking on the inside, there was some kind of flat device with a note attached.

"This should help with your senses." It said.

Tech smiled at the others and put the device beside Hunter's bunk. "He'll love that." Said a happy Tech.
