A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away

 Cyrus, Darjan, Kel Orta and Sai Rye each awakes to find themselves floating in small metal cubes, through the limited viewports they can see the Relentess.

 Sai Rye is brought over first. He meets Inquisitor Vrask, who offers him 500,000 Cr to work for the Empire, but he refuses and is sent back to his cube.

  Darjan is brought over, Vrask offers him 1,000,000 Cr to work for the Empire, as well as whatever else he might want. Vrask simply states that if he won’t take the money other means will be used to ‘persuade’ him. Darjan refuses and is sent back to his cube.

  Cyrus is brought over, shackled and with a blindfold on, Vrask offers him 1,000,000 Cr to work for the Empire, as well as whatever else he might want. Cyrus says he will need time to consider the offer, and is sent back to his cube.

  Kel Orta is brought over, he accepts Vrask’s offer. I order to prove his loyalty Vrask asks him to kill some prisoners from the planet. 30 unarmed men, women and children are brought out, and Vrask hands Kel Orta his lightsaber...

The screaming does not last long. In the cubes, Cyrus and Darjan feel Kel Orta’s soul darken as he embraces the dark side.

  Vrask asks Kel Orta which of his associates is likely to turn next, and Cyrus is brought over. Vrask again makes his offer to Cyrus, this time he accepts. In order to prove his loyalty Vrask asks him to order an Imperial ship to destroy a freighter carrying medical supplies. He gives the order and goes on to order the ship to fire all weapons at the surface of the planet.

  In his cube, Darjan feels more torment in the force as Cyrus abandons the light side.

  Sai Rye is brought over. He still refuses to work for the Empire. A trooper injects him with something. Vrask explains that it is Synox, a poison that kills its victims slowly. The antidote injector is given to Kel Orta so he can keep him in line.

  Darjan is brought over, but again refuses to join the dark side. He is led away to receive some ‘persuasion’. As he gets away from Vrask and the others he force slams the troopers, and runs and hides in the air ducts of the old ship.

  Sai Rye is locked in a cell whilst Vrask orders Kel Orta and Cyrus to deal with Darjan. The ship is put on lockdown, Kel Orta heads to the bridge and Cyrus to engineering, the most obvious places that Darjan will head to. They order the clone troopers to search the ship and locate Darjan. The clones put mouse droids into the ducts to try and locate him.

  As Darjan sneaks through the ducts, he looks down through a grille and sees Sai Rye in a cell. Freeing him, they both head deeper into the ducts and try to avoid the droids.

  Sai Rye comes up with a plan, they stun a mouse droid and he hacks it to give a false location for them. This distracts Kel Orta and Cyrus long enough to allow them to activate the emergency bridge separation detonators and create a system overload to prevent the tractor beam working. As the bridge section separates with Kel Orta, Cyrus and Vrask on it, Darjan and Sai Rye escape on a freighter in the confusion...
