087 INT. PRISONER CELL BLOCK - KESSEL – DAY.
In the prison’s central control hub, TWO CONTROLLERS sit in front of an elaborate console. They watch the detention area via monitors and giant readouts as SEEKERS buzz through the cell block, feeding image signals to the monitors. One Controller yawns and puts his feet up on the control panel, speaking to the other.
CONTROLLER #1: Mathusians just beat the PDR’s again. They should be in another league. Do you follow the ecometrics?
The second CONTROLLER frowns. He taps his headphones, then flips a switch back and forth a couple of times. He is obviously annoyed.
CONTROLLER #2: Now number eighteen is out. They better get these transmission problems figured out soon. Give me a maintenance check.
Several of the lights and monitors go dark on the control panel. The first CONTROLLER flips several switches, an expression of concern crossing his face.
CONTROLLER #2: What is it?!
CONTROLLER #1: All high phasing units are out. We've lost all contact with the command center. Maybe a substandard relay will...
Suddenly, all of the SEEKERS fall to the floor and the monitors go white. An alarm sounds.
CONTROLLER #2: Look! The whole security system just went dead! What's going on?
