In the darkness, Tech singlehandedly subdues the clone troopers, skillfully eliminating the enemy troopers one by one.

Inside the container, the floor shifts beneath Omega and Echo, and the newest member of Clone Force 99 drops her coveted riches. "Omega, forget about the war chest," Echo yells. "You have to let it go." With only moments to spare, they jump through a hatch and leap off the container, grabbing the side of a ravine wall as the shipment plummets to the ground far below, finally completing its landing.

Tech awakens to find Romar shouting for him. "I heard blaster fire. Thought you might need some help," the older man says. In the dark they see an attack shuttle approaching their position and prepare to defend themselves. While Romar retrieves the cable, attached to a speeder bike, to toss down to Echo and Omega, Tech fires off a cannon blast.

Just in time, the Marauder appears over the horizon to pick up the three friends. As they depart, Omega apologizes. "I know you all gave up everything because of me," she says. "Good thing we did or we might be fighting for the Empire right now. Or worse," Echo replies.

Back in the courtyard of Castle Serenno, Vice Admiral Rampart meets with Captain Wilco. Rampart is displeased with "inaccuracies" in the trooper's report. "You stated the would-be thieves you encountered were the rogue clones from experimental unit 99, yet that is impossible. Their squad perished during the fall of Tipoca City," Rampart admonishes. The two are at an impasse. Wilco refuses to falsify a report to the Empire, and Rampart will not allow the discrepancy. A blaster shot rings out to settle the dispute.
