Narration: "Mission! Having captured a strategic staging area on a mid-rim planet, Aayla Secura and her Clone force rendezvous with Master Quinlan Vos, unaware of the events that are to find them!"
Commander Bly approaches Aayla Secura and says "General. Vos is here". As Bly walks away, Aayla nervously tries to steady herself, about to come face to face with a Jedi she thought she would never meet again. As Aayla closes her eyes to meditate, the doors open and Bly comes in again, this time accompanied by Quinlan Vos. Bly leaves the two of them alone to be with his men. Aayla starts to fidget nervously, which does not go unoticed by Vos, who asks "You are fidgeting?" before adding "Aayla! I taught you better than that!". Aayla numbly asks "Better than what?". Vos laughs and says "Better than to be wary of you're own side!". Before Aayla can reply, an explosion rocks the Consular-class frigate they are in. Aayla says "Status report?" and Clone Trooper Looker replies "Separatist boarding ships! They've breached our hull!" before Looker is cut off. Looker says "This is it!" to Bly, Galle, Inc and the other 327th, who raise their guns. The frigate is invaded, and Commando Droids start to attack the clones. Several generic 32th are shot down, but the others hold their ground. Vos contacts Bly and tells him "Aayla's ordered a retreat! To the pods!". Bly and the others immediately run off, but Looker is shot in the leg and goes down. Looker yells out to Bly "I'm done for. I'll hold them off, just get out of here!". Bly nods, and he, Galle and Inc run off to join Aayla and Vos. Looker shoots down a couple of Commando Droids, before he is disarmed. Looker glimpses Count Dooku arriving, before Dooku stabs Looker against the wall, before beheading him to be sure. Dooku arrives just as the escape pod hatches shut, with Clones in one and Aayla and Vos in the other. Dooku ignites his lightsaber again, and stabs the control panel, sending both escape pods spinning. Dooku, satisfied with what he has done, leaves the frigate, as the pods go spinning well away from each other...
Aayla Secura wakes up to find a hand outstretched in front of her. As Aayla is helped up, the owner of the hand puts his other one on her back to steady her. Aayla realizes with a jolt that it is Quinlan Vos, and swiftly moves away from his grasp. Vos says "Aayla... I'm only trying to help you." Aayla nods, but still doesn't look too convinced. Satisfied enough, Vos begins to use his powers to figure out what planet it is, and is shocked to find the planet is Elom. Vos mutters "Not good!" to himself, as he starts to look for a place to rest. Aayla notices what he is doing and yells "There's somewhere over there!" while pointing into a cave. Vos gratefully heads into the cave, and is followed inside by Aayla. They both sit on rocks adjacent to the other. As they sit there, staring around, they both realize suddenly that this is the first time they have been alone since their forbidden love. This makes Aayla very nervous again, but seems to have no effect on Quinlan Vos. Aayla says to Vos "Why aren't you nervous?". Vos calmly replies "Aayla. What hapenned in our affair was a long time ago, it is our duty as Jedi to put that behind us!". Aayla nods her agreement, as she realizes she has been a bit too wary of Vos for her own good. They both are left to wonder what Elom has in store for them...
