[The feed begins with Saleh sitting at his desk, looking very focused. He inhales deeply, and then exhales. He then begins to speak...in an entirely foreign language. As one listens further, it becomes apparent that he's actually reciting some sort of chant. He appears to be struggling with it, though. Some of the syllables come out strained, and there's some stuttering here and there. He also repeats some of the syllables like a broken record.]

[The strained chanting stops, though, as something seems to grab Saleh's attention. He stands, backing away warily. Son, some heavy footsteps can be heard, faintly at first, but gradually growing louder. Saleh knows immediately what those footsteps are – the droids are coming. They burst through the door, stomping right towards the sage. There's nowhere to run, and no time to grab a tome and fight. All Saleh could do was shout, much louder than he normally would.]

Ewan!

[He shouts the pupil's name as a warning, knowing full well that there's nothing Ewan can do either. And then, just as quickly as they came, the droids take Saleh and leave.]

[At first Eley is simply curious about this strange chanting... was this some form of magic? He might have asked about it if it reached its natural conclusion but instead there's the sound of footsteps and some... things come stomping right for him!]

Saleh?

Is anybody there?

[She knows what means, all too well. Heavy sigh.]

Saleh....

-Teacher!! [Even if there's nothing he can do, Ewan's going to try. Well, if "running at the droids until he's out of breath, then falling to his knees and fighting back anger" counts as trying.]
