The slab holding ALANA SEREN stands upright in the small room at the top of the tower. The gas containment field has been deactivated and ALANA is regaining consciousness, but her body is restrained by energy bands and she cannot move. As her eyes focus, she sees COMMANDER KANE standing before her, accompanied by a pitiful looking HUTT and several STORMTROOPERS.
ALANA: Kane! You will not get away with this!
KANE turns to the HUTT with a smile.
KANE: What did I tell you, Weesla? She’s got spirit! She would do well to take a lesson from you, and re-evaluate where her loyalties should lie!
ALANA: Fools! My Uncle will never let Ondos fall under Imperial dominion! My disappearance will only cause him to rally for more support against Mas Amedda’s regime!
KANE leans in close to ALANA, sneering.
KANE: No, you are the fool, I’m afraid. Your feeble attempt to defy the Emperor and involve the Galactic Alliance has certainly gotten you nowhere. In fact, you have just unwittingly helped me to choose the test subject who will help us usher in the next phase of our operation. (to TROOPS) I’m done with her!
