INT. NYAX/TORTURE CHAMBER
Within a torture chamber -- one of many such chambers aboard the Nyax -- Zull stands against a metal rack, her wrists and ankles secured to prevent escape. With wicked-looking electrodes secured to her joints and extremities, the beautiful priestess can do nothing but scream as volt after volt of painful electricity is sent coursing through her body. Surrounding her, bearing witness to this cruel torture, are several heavily-armed security 'droids and four Mandalorians -- two escorts, the dungeon master, and the Force Hound himself.
FORCE HOUND: She's had enough. Let her down.
DUNGEON MASTER: As you wish, milord.
Pressing a few buttons and turning a dial set into his control panel, the Mandalorian dungeon master cuts the power to the electrodes. Finally free of the pain, Zull collapses into semi-unconsciousness. Moving over to the rack, the two escorts open the shackles of the rack, allowing the Meketrex high priestess to collapse into their arms.
FORCE HOUND: Return the girl to her cell.
The escorts nod once in acknowledgement. Hefting the loose form of the beautiful woman up so as to get a firmer hold of her, they begin half-carrying, half-dragging her off. The Force Hound, his features hidden behind his Mandalorian helmet, watches them as they leave.
INT. NYAX/CELL BLOCK
The two Mandalorians guide Zull down the corridor of her cell block. Having regained some of her wits, she is now able to support some of her own weight.
INT. NYAX/ZULL'S CELL
The door to the cell slides open, and the Mandalorian escorts push Zull inside, allowing the disheveled near-human girl to unceremoniously collapse to the filthy floor in a heap. The door slides closed and the intricate locks engage, leaving Zull there on the floor in near-pitch darkness.
MANDALORIAN #2: (O.S.) Hello there, goddess.
Hearing the voice, Zull slowly pushes herself up into a sitting position, looking toward the source of the voice.
ZULL: (scared) (subtitled) Who's that? Who's there?
A figure steps out of the deep corner of the cell into the scant light at the centre, revealing himself to be one of the two Mandalorians who first escorted her to the torture chamber.
MANDALORIAN #2: You wouldn't believe how long I've been waiting here. I was afraid you weren't going to come back.
The Mandalorian takes a threatening step forward. In fear, Zull scuttles back away from him.
ZULL: (subtitled) Stay away from me ...
MANDALORIAN #2: Oh, come now, goddess, don't be like that. Let's be friends.
Reaching upward, the Mandalorian removes his helmet. Underneath the cauliflower ears, slightly twisted nose, and light scars, the Mandalorian is a bonafide pretty boy with light blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.
MANDALORIAN #2: (cont'd) See now? I'm not a harsh sight, am I?
Zull scurries back further, pressing herself up against the far wall to get as far away from him as possible.
MANDALORIAN #2: (frowns) Alright, enough of that. I want to be friends, so we're gonna be friends -- good friends.
Tossing the helmet aside, the Mandalorian crosses the room to Zull.
INT. NYAX/CELL BLOCK
As the screams of the high priestess of the Meketrex begin pouring through the walls outside her cell, the Force Hound appears, standing by the locked door. He scrutinizes the sealed cell door, his mind full of thought, before hanging his head in shame and walking off to leave the Mandalorian within to satisfy his foul appetites.
