Governor Lancer was nervously pacing around, his office. The politician had just gotten a call from Jazz telling him about her visit to the prison and that she had four people, who had wrongly been imprisoned. Lancer faked ignorance about the prisoners and said he would get to the bottom of the prisoners arrest. Jazz ended the call and Lancer immediately called the prison to yell at Walker, however instead of getting the warden, he got a tired looking Imperial Officer, who informed Lancer that both Walker and Bullet were dead. Lancer ended the transmission and went very pale. This wasn't good. The Z Block prisoners were free and Lancer was sure to be punished, unless he figured out a way to minimize the damage the prisoners could cause. Lancer came up with a crazy idea that might just work and he called Vlad to inform, him of the plan. A life size hologram appeared before Lancer scowling at him. Vlad had received the news about the prison and he was not pleased about the situation.
"Master Vlad, I know we just lost a few of our best men and some prisoners that could greatly damage the Empire's reputation are free, but I have a plan to greatly minimize the damage." Said Lancer.
"And what exactly is your plan?" Asked Vlad.
"To cast blame on the arrests on Walker and Bullet. We can create some fake documents that make it look like the arrest were all their ideas, they're both dead, so they can't defend themselves." Said Lancer with a nervous smile.
"Very well then. That might actually work. Your proving your worth Lancer." Said Vlad.
"Thank you sir!" Said Lancer with some relief.
"One more thing. I want you to figure out how that Jazz girl knew about the Z Block prisoners. Their imprisonment was supposed to be a secret. Someone is giving her information and I want to know who." Said Vlad.
"Of course Sir. I'll look right into that." Said Lancer.
The transmission ended and Lancer let out a sigh of relief. He was safe and if he played his cards right everything would be fine.
Jazz's shuttle went to a hotel were the four former prisoners were given rooms and a change of clothes. Jazz called Johnny to come pick her up and take her home. On the way Jazz thought about GW message and how the Empire might not be as clean and well meaning as she originally thought. Jazz then began to think of Phantom. Who was the mysterious person? Where did he come from and why did he save her? The questions raced through Jazz's mind as Johnny took her home.
Meanwhile lightyears away on a planet call Taka, a shuttle had just landed on landing pad outside of a large dome shaped building. Spectra and Bertrand got out of the shuttle and went inside the building. The building was a mix between a lab, a factory, and a fortress. Both Stormtroopers and battle droids patrolled the halls as Spectra and Bertrand made their way to one of the labs. Inside the lab was Technus working on a strange ray gun like machine. Technus was a Mirialans with white hair dressed in a black lab coat and dark glasses.
"Master Technus we have DNA from a young Jedi for the cloning project." Said Spectra as she opened up the briefcase and showed the DNA samples to Technus.
Technu's stopped working and went to examine the samples. The scientist grinned evilly with satisfaction.
"Well done you two. Master Vlad will be pleased with this." Said Technus.
"What are you working on Sir?" Asked Bertrand as he pointed at the large ray gun machine.
"This little beauty is one of my greatest achievements. I've studied the Force and the Dark Side for many years and I figured out a way to manipulate the Force and increase the power and the desire of the Dark Side in others. I secretly obtained skin and blood samples from Darth Vader himself and I've figured a way to tap into his dark energy to create a ray of pure negativity that will increase the powers of the Dark Side in others and turn other people to the Dark Side. Master Vlad wishes to become stronger, but I need to test the machine on a Force sensitive person, to make sure it works and there aren't any side affects." Said Technus.
"Well sir, we just need one of those two Jedi that have been causing problems to the Empire. I'm sure they'll love to be your test subject." Said Spectra.
Technus just grinned and laughed at the thought of testing his machine on a Jedi. The mad scientist took the DNA samples from Spectra and put one vial into one of the cloning machines. Technus studied a computer display of the DNA and decided to make a few little changes to it. The machine was set and Technus was pleased. Soon Vlad would be stronger and he would have a force to be reckoned with.
