Darth Exodus: My fallen Lord...speak to me! Speak! I seek your voice again!
Shortly after the red outline of the ghost of Palpatine appears again.
Ghost of Palpatine: My old gaurdian...why have you awaken me?
Darth Exodus: It has happened my Lord...just as you have proclaimed! Skywalker is my prisoner! And his sister...and...her children...the force is clearly...and undeniably with us!
Ghost of Palpatine: I know...you have served faithfully Lord Exodus...soon my empire will be restored and you will be it's sole ruler...with me...as your only guide...

In a medical room aboard the Perdition, Luke is seen waking up on a table. He is strapped to it and is being given oxygen through a mask. Several Stormtroopers are near him and a medical droid named Z-71. As Luke becomes alert, the droid removes the oxygen mask.
Z-71: (To the lead officer) The patient has come to his senses.
Luke: Where am I? What's happening to me?
Z-71: Remain calm please. You are aboard the Perdition. You are to be held here at the request of his lordship; Darth Exodus.
Luke struggles a bit but finds it useless as he is still very weak and out of it.
Z-71: (To the lead officer) He is weak still but nothing more can be done here. I hand him over to you officer.
Officer: Very well droid.
The officer motions to some stormtroopers to take him away.
Officer: Lord Exodus wants him locked up with the Chancellor. They are to be under maximum security at all times.
Stormtrooper: Yes sir! He won't be a problem.

The planet of Cydenal is seen; one of the republic's key systems that was dependant on the Gra'Adium star. A endless line of ships going in and out are seen as Lando leads a desperate rescue mission to get as many inhabitants off as possible. Just then the Chevalier comes out of hyperspace nearby.

Scene 46
Aboard Lando's trade freighter, a droid that looks like a cross between an umbrella and a coffee make is rolling around giving cheap drinks and food to many people and alien refugees alike that were saved from the planet Cydenal. Han and Chewie are sitting with Lando and are being served refreshments by the droid. Lando shakes his head in disbelief as he hears the bad news of Leia and the other's captures and the loss of the battle at the Gra'Adium star.
Lando: I just don't have the words Han...I'm sorry...what can I do to help?
Han: Your doing enough by getting these people off these planets. Infact I've already instructed every ship in the fleet to lend thier ships...I know Leia would want that...I just want one small favor...
Lando: Name it.
Han: I want to borrow your ship.
Lando: You mean the Silver Ray?
Han: Hey...it's the second fastest ship in the galaxy!
Lando: Second fastest? I think you're forgetting our race around the asteroid belt of Mon Doon.
Han: Yeah, yeah...so do I get the ship or what?
Lando: No...I'm afraid no one flys her but me...
Han looks puzzled as Lando cracks a grin.
Lando: I guess I'm just gonna have to take you myself!
Han: I need you here! These people need you!
Lando: Forget it! Leia and the kids need us! Mornia and the boys can run this ship.
Lando motions over to his wife who is on board named Mornia.
Lando: Mornia!
Mornia comes over to Han and Lando.
Mornia: You asked for me my love?
Lando: Darlin, I need you and the kids to run this ship without me a while. I have to help *this guy* on a little mission.
Mornia: I heard what you two were talking about. We'll be fine here...just take care of your friends...
Lando: I will...you take care also...
Lando grabs her shoulders and the two kiss goodbye. Chewbacca wines and howls something to Han about the mission.
Han: We'll get everyone back safe and sound...I promise...but I need you sit out on this one buddy...
Chewie howls something as if saying he can be a big help.
Han: I know! You'd be a tremendous help, but I need you to command the Chevalier in my place...too many people need you here...can you do that for me pal?
Chewie howls in an affirmative manner.
Han: Great...and next time for sure...alright?
Chewie growls to say you bet!
Han: (to Lando) Alright...you ready?

Han: Well...you ready for this you old pirate?
Lando: Ready as ever...You bring a guest with you?
Han: This is Kip...he wants to help too. Thought we could use another hand you know?
Kip: My ship they built has caused destruction so I will help cause life again by fighting those that kill.
Lando: (To Han) He speaks elegantly for a walking lizard.
Han: He's smarter then he looks...(To Kip) You'll do alright...
Kip: Your opinion is pleasing to me.
Lando: Well shall we get going then...
The three sit down and strap in as Lando flips switches and gets ready to fly off.
Lando: So where to admiral?
Han pushes some buttons on a keypad from the co pilot seat.
Han: I'm entering the falcons signature code now. Just follow the signal.
Lando: You've got it...and don't worry... we'll get Luke, Leia, and the kids back in one piece...I promise...
Kip: Jedi's are good survivors unless killed no?
Han: ... Something like that..
Kip: I will believe in thier survival for our sakes.
Han: Thanks a lot...
Lando: Alright... everyone ready? Here we go!
