Ciena sat in her cell. Silence surrounded her as she sat in deep thought. Thane had said she'd be out soon but it had been weeks since she last saw him. New Republic officer's walked up and down the corridor outside her cell. She could just about see them through the silvery tint of the energy field. She turned her head to see the grey medical droid staring at her.
"It is time for your routine check up miss Ree. Your new liver is holding up well I presume?"
Ciena had had the metallic plate removed, a new liver inverted and flesh grown back over her wound.
"Yes. Thank you." She stood and walked towards the energy field. A small square of the shield faded and she put her hands through to be cuffed. The empire had told all if it's officials, that if they were ever captured, to "make sure Intel stays secret." Ciena presumed that meant to take a blaster shot to the head but she hadn't been ready to do that in front of Thane on the Inflictor. The energy field powered down and she stepped out into the corridor along side the medical droid.
"This way please miss Ree," it said. She had walked this corridor only a few times to get to the medical bay but she knew it well enough to not have to look where she was going.
Where has Thane got to? He said that I'd be out in a couple of days, but here I am, weeks later. Maybe he's been posted on a different planet for another mission? Ciena didn't care where he was as long as he was safe.
At the end of the corridor was the medical bay and when they'd got to the end the droid said, "In here please miss Ree," as if she didn't know where she was going by now.
