Plot summary

Runaway college student Alek gets lost on a nighttime trip into the Tatooine desert, where he hears a woman screaming for help. As he follows her voice, he crashes as he tries to avoid a bipedal figure approaching his podracer. When Alek wakes, paralyzed, two figures loom over him: a robed man and a protocol droid. The droid is ordered to kill Alek, and, as it does, it plays the sound of the woman's murder.[3]
