The Imperial war machine possesses many devices of terror which are employed against its prisoners.

For the Empire, torture is considered an art.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/4_zpsnjvspnvf.jpg)
This practice can have potentially devastating effects on some canvases.

However, others are more resilient-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/6_zpslybuz1yc.jpg)
-and require a more hands on approach.

Aboard the Star Destroyer Dark Talon, one of the many projector screens comes to life as it crackles.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/9_zpsrse6fv27.jpg)
A transmission begins to come in as the screen projects an image, flickering in the dark room.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/10_zpssi7tcxfx.jpg)
The colonel clears her throat as the connection becomes secure.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/11_zpsljoclfao.jpg)
"Yes-Colonel Elliot?" asks Lieutenant Sumner nervously.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/12_zps6hlbxdoh.jpg)
"Your report is overdue," says the woman looking towards the hologram as it crackles in the dark chamber.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/13_zps8qrxg0vp.jpg)
"Yes, I'm-I'm making progress," he says quickly. "My men are following up on a report that Able Squad traveled towards Muunilinst."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/14_zps7piwklsi.jpg)
"We're trying to-"
"You will find them soon, Sumner." the colonel says forcefully. "Or I'll find someone who can."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/15_zpsx6lfjep7.jpg)
"Yes colonel," he replies. "I will work harder, and more diligently," he adds.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/16_zpsw9tk5dyn.jpg)
"You are taking too long," groans Elliot as she winces. "I will expedite the process."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/17_zpsghthtiyp.jpg)
The man is cut short as the hologram disappears into static.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/18_zpsnfqyzmca.jpg)
Colonel Elliot thinks to herself. The quiet noise of the chamber feeds her thoughts as she concentrates in the cold room; she hardly moves as she slowly draws air in and out of her lungs, silently.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/19_zpsc8mvgjis.jpg)
"Copy, move it down to sick bay then, I don't care. Just as long as-"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/20_zpsbdyse1bv.jpg)
"Wait," says the man as a pair of blast doors open.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/21_zpsgtxxfbkc.jpg)
"I'll get back to you," he whispers.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/22_zpseqirdllw.jpg)
The officer swallows hard as the woman approaches him.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/23_zps0ilxcibh.jpg)
"Colonel?"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/24_zpsee1badik.jpg)
"Take me to Brior," commands Elliot. "His day has finally arrived."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/25_zps3doxx7uy.jpg)
"Yes ma'am," replies the officer as a nervous feeling shoots down his spine, making his arm flinch slightly. "Right this way."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/26_zpsmqwq1pcc.jpg)
"Please, follow me," says the officer.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/27_zps0f4q1fl5.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/28_zpszw312r7c.jpg)
"He's in cell 1-26," says the man. "We had to transfer him after picking up that Lasat."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/29_zpsb08axzmn.jpg)
The colonel doesn't reply as she walks swiftly behind the man. She moves like a cold wind blowing down the cell block as she passes each chamber.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/30_zpswfvxfwuv.jpg)
The sound of the group's heavy boots echo down the corridor as they walk.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/31_zpsiknctrgz.jpg)
Elliot inspects the cell doors as they travel further into the detention block, knowing that she is responsible for the capture of numerous occupants.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/32_zpskqqjhv16.jpg)
As the group continues to travel down the corridor many noises can be heard coming from the cells.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/33_zps3mr2ckh1.jpg)
A Wookiee roars in the distance; however the sound of the soldiers' boots almost drown out the cry for vengeance.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/34_zpsz4lkapms.jpg)
"Cell 1-26 colonel," reports the man, turning nervously.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/35_zpsaj0hp9di.jpg)
"Good," says Elliot as she smiles slightly. "Open it."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/36_zpsfjlq7inf.jpg)
The cell door opens smoothly as the Imperials peer in.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/37_zpsyokiir5m.jpg)
"Brior." says the colonel.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/38_zpsqo4l1hdj.jpg)
The former Imperial officer holds his hand up in a daze, trying to block the intense light.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/39_zpsmctplsrx.jpg)
"Captain Brior," she says slyly.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/40_zps8m0c9yf6.jpg)
The man looks up at the woman, his eyes still squinting as he tries to focus on her.
"Yes?" he finally responds.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/41_zpsrhmefjfo.jpg)
"Your days of being my pet have ended," she chuckles to herself. "Your usefulness has run its course."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/42_zpsk3oawb9i.jpg)
"We've discovered as much intel as your feeble mind can muster, and you will soon suffer more than you may have ever imagined."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/43_zpsq3ha5iro.jpg)
"By command of his majesty, Sheev Palpatine, Head of the Imperial Ruling Council and Emperor of the Galactic Empire, you are here-by condemned to live out the remainder of your life in an Imperial Prison."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/44_zps2mzwy38g.jpg)
"Your transfer will begin shortly," she says coldly to the man, as the cell door closes
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/46_zpsi8ygeu4v.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/47_zpsirxh3nn9.jpg)
"Come on!" shouts the man as his cell opens, fresh air rushing into the small room. "What do you have for me today?"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/48_zpskulg87qd.jpg)
"Put up a fight," he shouts as his voice rattles down the corridor. "I'm ready!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/49_zps8orbrtmn.jpg)
A slight chuckle echos throughout the Rebellion operative's cell.
"What, hello?" he asks. "Who's there?"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/50_zpsooe69gpj.jpg)
"Basso, I have had such fun with you," smirks the colonel, her voice reverberating off the walls of the cell block.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/51_zps1kob1pve.jpg)
"You are truly one of my most favorite little things aboard this ship."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/52_zpsgsqxtyjs.jpg)
"Very few can withstand the means of torture I employ."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/53_zpsusvqpgtv.png)
"And you've shown a great ability to withstand my interrogation techniques. That is something special."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/54_zps4bbfdxws.jpg)
"You were more resilient than that poor fool Brior," she sighs. "He's being transferred to a prison facility now."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/55_zps6orxrn48.jpg)
"After he broke, I thought I could get to you, manipulate you, and use you to my own very will."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/56_zpsizvupqh0.jpg)
"But our time together has come to an end, Basso."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Vol%202%20Ch%205/57_zpsmdsccw1h.jpg)

"You're free to go."

Nice misdirect at the end. I was convinced the Colonel was going to pull a gun on Basso.
-
Hmmmm letting him go ... may be a ploy to track him to the rebel cells on other planets.
The lighting was excellent and I think I noticed the POTF2 detention area playset.... nice!
-
Loved the communication images. Cool stuff. Nice story. Off to share the latest and thanks for sharing the new chapter with us.

Thank you guys so much for commenting!!!!!!! ;D
I'm really glad you all enjoyed it! Those communication images were a bit tricky to do, but they worked! Originally it was going to be bodily hologram of Sumner, but I couldn't figure out a way to do it. Instead, I found a great sceencap of the ROTJ Endor bunker screen at static, and was able to slightly alter it for my usage.
And yes, those POTF2 playsets really came in handy!
