"She's gonna' kill me..." The rugged yet gentle voice echoed from one of the four cells that lined the wall. James stood, leaning against the reinforced steel door, speaking through the small window which allowed air in and out. There was just enough of an opening for him to be able to stick his head out and look back and forth down the hallway. The cell itself was relatively small. Sixteen feet by sixteen feet, with a bed, artificial lighting in the ceiling and a small shower faucet and drain, though no curtain. Dang and dreary, it had become a home of sorts in the twelve or thirteen months that the Jedi Knight had been stuck in here.

"Will you just shut up!" A crude voice replied. Another head popped out of another cell door and looked James dead in the eyes. "I am so tired of hearing you say this and that about some woman whom is never coming. My wife didn't come for me!" The man was aged, in his sixties, he had been a rival to DelCorp Holdings, an investment firm. "D" as that man liked to be called had discovered something in his computer programmings. The same thing James had. A discrepancy. An alien coding that did not belong and when he searched it out, it brought him here, to Muunilist, just as the coding James had been. Just like Terran, the man figured out what was going on. DelCorp Holdings was hacking various peoples programs and gathering information to use for necessary blackmail. The Jedi had been chosen simply because of their reputation of wreaking havoc on business' like DelCorp that came off as professional and legit yet hid an ugly secret.

"Neither did mine." A third head emerged from the door next to James' cell. In reality, all four men that inhabited these four cells where here for the same reason. They discovered something and then knew too much. DelCorps CEO, Vord Guda, was a smart man. He treated all four men quite well and there was brilliance behind this move. These four men were the biggest bargaining chips he would ever have. The three other men belongs to separate systems or planets where as James was a Jedi. Should Jedi discover his misdeeds, he could use James as a tool to negotiate. Who said neuts couldn't think? Vord even knew how to prepare for James. Something about the cells, about this basement prevented him from using the force. It didn't drain him and James still felt the force, but he could not do anything with it. Still, it never stopped him from trying. Quietly James shut his eyes and focused. '....Muunilist.' He struggled to send the message, and in all honesty, it felt more like a thought than anything. Still did the message send? Did anything about him connect enough to the force that others could feel it? Did Katarine feel it? "Hello? James, wake up!"

"Would you shut up!?" James opened his eyes and glanced at both men but addressed the first, "Your wife didn't come cause you'd been having an affair. Be thankful Vord has you cause trust me. You don't want to go home to an angry woman."

"Really? If you're so certain you will see yours again, what makes you think she wont be angry?"

"Oh I hope she will." James winked. Even here, locked up he could find humor. Anyone who fell into despair would be lost. He had to remain strong, stay active and keep focus. Slowly he drew his head back and stepped further into his cell. His mind slipped back to how he ended up here. The glitch, the computer glitch that had been brought to his attention. James backtracked the glitch to a program originating from Munnilist. He had arrived and began searching about. It was not long until he found DelCorp and when he addressed Vord in his office, all he remembered was a brief conversation before everything went black. He then awoke in his cell. The one thing that James knew with all certainty was that anyone who went through his logs would have known he went to Muunilist and would have known of the programming error. The question was could they put the peices together and find DelCorp. The Jedi were rigorous in detail - well James was, a skill he learned as a Pirate and that Katarine had helped him perfect. All of his logs held everything he knew. Muunilist and the program itself. The coding in it would lead anyone to DelCorp and all they would have to do is follow it. The question remained - would they? Did his fellow Jedi know exactly where to look?

Laying out on his bed, his hands clasped behind his head, James eyes locked on a ceiling and performed the same thing he did every day. He sang, "Oooooooh I love you... and I know that you love meeeeeeeeee....." then just as quickly as he began, the same response always came from his three counterparts, and nearly simultaneously, ".....SHUT UP!" Terran let out a hardy laugh as he fell back into thought.
