Two years earlier...

I am so sorry it had to be this way Luke. I offered you to join me at cloud city, but you denied me. You let me no choice , I had to use the force against you. I never meant for you to get hurt the way you did. You just wouldn't join me, and I could not let you loose once you were in my grasp. I care about you too much Luke. I must do what is best and this the only way you can live. You have too much power for your own good. Rest easy my son.

"Doctor are you sure he will not remember anything?I do not want any dire consequences. ."

"Mi lord you have my full assurance. This drug is not known to anyone but us. It will do a full memory wipe sending young Skywalker into complete Amnesia. But I must warn you that there are side effects."

"What side effects? Will he be harmed in anyway?"

"Well Mi lord, if he is a force user, he will be drained of all his powers, slowly and possibly painfully."

"I do not want to see my son in pain, but it is the only way, you my continue with the procedure. "

I watch has doctor Thekla prepares my son for the injection. Doctor Thekla is one of my personal physicians , I have complete faith in him.

Doctor Thekla sits Luke up in a reclining chair. I see him place Luke's arm gently on the arm rest. Luke is still unconscious in a force trance . It would keep him from harming himself and for him to behave. Doctor Thekla places two magnetic strips one on Luke's forehead and one on the back of the neck. Then

I watch him take the controller. I sense fear in the doctor.

"When I press this button Mi lord, electrons will be send to his brain and the memory wipe will take effect. This process takes about thirty standard minutes. Are you certain you want me to perform the procedure?"

The doctor looked nervously at me

"Proceed." I ordered the doctor

I watch the doctor press the button. Luke's body started to jerk violently.

"What's happening?"

"His body is shutting down Mi lord. All part of the procedure."

"I will be back in a while, I am going to prepare his cell. Tell him nothing . "

"Yes , Mi lord."

I turn my back to the doctor and walk out the door.
