"Are your friends lives really that important to you?" Thrawn asks the bloodied, beaten, and tortured Stormer.

"I already told you...they're not...my friends..." Stormer says.

"You know, I can always let Tennant take another crack at you." Thrawn tells him.

"That green skinned prick can suck my-AGHHH!" Stormer yells as he's shocked.

"Perhaps, he really doesn't know anything." An engineer says looking down at the datapad then up at Thrawn.

"How sure of that are you Doctor?" Thrawn asks.

"Not 100% but after all this physical, mental, and emotional abuse and trauma prisoners usually crack and tell whatever they know. He hasn't and he's been put through a whole hell of a lot worse." The Doctor tells Thrawn.

"You make a valid point Doctor but I am almost certain he is hiding something. His whole return always struck me as suspicious and his outbursts in my office only backed up my hypothesis as well as his changing story, however only slightly it's still not consistent." The Chiss says.

"That's...true." The Doctor says.

"No worries, we will get him to break. Sooner or later." Thrawn says and walks to the door.

He turns over his shoulder back to Stormer.

"I think Tennant and his little friend would like to talk to you again." Thrawn tells the clone before opening the door.

He walks out and Tennant and Taku walk down the stairs as the door closes behind them.

"I'm....not....lying..." Stormer says.

"We don't care if you are or you aren't. We just enjoy torturing you." Tennant says.

"Fuck....you...." Stormer says before they both start wailing on him.

Meanwhile, Bat was chained up in a cage on a trandoshan prisoner ship in a cage. He slowly began waking up and looks around. He looks over to Scars and Fernanda who were also being held in cages and were chained up. Fernanda had dried blood and mud in her hair from where she had been hit and her tunic was covered as well. Scars had been stripped of his armor and the top portion of his body glove had been ripped off. The same had happened to Bat. The Trandoshan leader walked around over them and looked down, hissing.

"Ah, you're finally awake. Just in time to witness our little hunting session." The Leader hisses.

"Wha-?" Bat starts before the bottom of the cage and the ship opens up and he jolts down but he, Fernanda, and Scars are stopped by the chains and he watches as the rest of the captives, imperials, are dropped down onto a beach. 

A screen appears in their cages as the bottom doors close for them to sit down again and they watch as the imperials start fleeing and running off in every which way as the chain gun on the front of the ship opens fire on them, cutting a handful of them down as the rest flee into the woods.

"What the hell...?" Bat asks.

"What? Don't like it? That's almost exactly how you murdered my family!" The Leader roars.

"That's not even comparable to how your family was killed. They were killed in a battle, as battle that they caused and they lost. That's hardly the same as us hunting them down like animals." Bat says.

The Leader snarls.

"Liar!" The Leader snaps and presses a button on his wrist gauntlet and the chains in all their cages are electrified and begins shocking the trio.
