When Ben woke up, he found himself in a starship's medbay, strapped down by titanium cables against an examination table with his utility belt and lightsaber removed and on the other side of the room. It would have been a simple matter to just use the Force to call his belt and saber over to cut himself out of this bind if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't feel the Force right now.

It was then that he noticed, at the foot of the table he lay on, a caged ysalamari staring back at him with unintelligent eyes, unaware of what it was inadvertently doing to Ben.

The young Jedi lowered his head back against the cool metallic table and sighed and frustration before vainly struggling against the cable holding him down. He stopped struggling when he heard the medbay door open, which was out of view given that it was in the direction his head was pointing.

"Oh, good, you're awake," Vestara's voice stated as she and 5U-M4N finally stepped into view. "So how're you feeling, Ben?" she asked with a motherly tone and smile.

"Where are you taking me, Khai?" Ben asked angrily.

"Aww," Vestara mocked. "Since when were we on a last name basis?"

"Since your droid here knocked me out and you decided to kidnap me," Ben countered. "Now, again, where are you taking me?"

Vestara leaned in as if she were going to kiss Ben. "That's for me to know and for you to find out," she said in a sultry tone. She leaned back and continued with, "When we get there, that is."

"Why are you doing this?" Ben asked.

"Same reason you wanted to take me," Vestara answered seriously. "You're a hell of a prize to the Sith, just as I would be to the Jedi; me, for all my knowledge of your Order and my time with you and your dad, especially with you; and you, Ben, you're the son of the Grand Master of the Jedi and..." She deliberately trailed off as she climbed on top of him, spreading her legs across his midsection while placing the palms of her hands on his chest. "Well, I think you can figure out the rest." She then leaned in to kiss him.

But as she kissed him, Ben turned his head away from her to break off the smooch and he headbutted her in the face. She fell off the side of the table and off of Ben to collapse against the floor.

"You think that would repel her, wouldn't you," 5U-M4N said in a sardonic tone to Ben.

At that moment, Vestara pushed herself from the floor to look at Ben with a predatory look on her face, which the young Jedi instantly responded with total fear.

Had Vestara's predatory gaze held the intent to harm and/or kill, Ben would have been even more defiant.

As it was, Ben knew exactly what was going to happen even before Vestara pulled her shirt off and climbed on top of Ben again to actually rip off his shirt through the titanium cable.

Before Vestara would proceed, she had to stop herself to look over at the droid.

"Why are you still here?" she asked impatiently.

"I have no reason not to be here," Five-U answered.

"Well, neither do you have a reason to be here 'til I call you back, so get out!" Vestara said.

"Why?" Five-U asked. "It's not as if I am sexually stimulated by what is about to transpire."

"Then why did I find holomags and vids of mixed species porn in your quarters?" Vestara asked, her anger of Five-U's continued presence mounting.

"You were in my quarters?" Five-U asked with shock. "Why?"

"You didn't think I'd hear the loud grunts, moans, and shouts of sexual pleasure coming from your room and I wouldn't check it out?" Vestara replied. "And don't think I didn't hear your own shouts. I don't know how you can... sexually stimulate yourself, and quite frankly, I don't care, but one thing's for certain; I'm not letting you stay in this room."

"You're not comfortable with letting others watch?" Five-U asked. "Even a mere droid?"

"Especially not a droid who's anything but mere when he can MASTURBATE TO PORN!" Vestara replied. "And especially not when he can record what I'm about to do to a powerless, tied-up Jedi so he can jack off to it, somehow, and maybe even show it to others to make a profit! Now get the hell outta here before I use the Force on your ass to bash you into spare parts and kick your remains out of this medbay so I can have my way with Ben Skywalker!"

"First, how can you use the Force if there's a ysalamari here preventing you and the Jedi from using it?" Five-U pointed out. "Second, even if you were somehow able to use the Force with the presence of a ysalamari, kicking my remains out would hurt you feet given the metal contents of my body. That, and the fact that if you were to have bashed me to spare parts, it would probably take you too long-"

"Shut the hell up and get out before I use my lightsaber on you, which, I may point out, I can still use even with a ysalamari around me," Vestara said as she unhooked her hilt from her belt.

"Now, now, wait, let's not be too hasty and unreasonable..." Five-U began.

Vestara activated her blade.

"All right, I'll go," Five-U said before he turned to the door and left.

After Five-U was gone, Vestara deactivated her weapon, replaced it on her belt, and looked back to Ben hungrily. "Now," she said as she unzipped his pants, "where were we?"
