Synopsis

Upon escaping the planet Abafar aboard a Republic shuttle carrying rhydonium, Colonel Meebur Gascon and his droid squad approach a Jedi cruiser orbiting the planet. As Gascon triumphs over his victory and plans to deliver the encryption module to the commanding officer, WAC-47 is uneasy and something isn't right. They land the shuttle in the hangar, which is empty with no ships or crew whatsoever, adding more to the suspicions. Gascon comes up with several solutions as to why no one is present, and the squad heads up to the bridge, which is full of clone officers. Gascon hands the module to one of the officers, which goes right through him. The squad soon finds out all the officers are just holograms, and they soon discover the ship was taken over by battle droids. Before the battle droids can destroy Gascon and his squad, they manage to escape, but are pursued by the droids.

Gascon and his droid squad manage to make it to the hangar control room, where they discover the hangar is full of rhydonium. They soon discover a bomb in the room and conclude that the Separatists have rigged the cruiser to be a bomb. Though the droids want to defuse the bomb, Gascon argues he was not sent to stop Separatist piracy and defusing massive bombs, but WAC explains they cannot escape the ship while in hyperspace. As the squad heads back to their ship, R2-D2 suspects someone is stalking them and finds them. The thing turns out to be a servant droid namedBNI-393, or "Bunny" as his Master called him. Artoo leads Bunny back to the group, where he tells Gascon there are survivor that need their help. Meanwhile, on the bridge, the super tactical droid commander commands a buzz droid to spy on D-Squad and report back to him.

Bunny leads D-Squad to their shuttle, where it turns out the survivors are other droids. Bunny then goes on to explain that the Separatists had set course for the cruiser to head to the Carida system, where the Republic space station Valor is located. Gascon then recalls a strategy conference is being held and that the Separatists are going to ram the cruiser into the space station and kill key commanders and almost the entire Republic fleet. As the discussion continues, the droids notice a buzz droid stalking them. The buzz droid escapes and Artoo pursues it through corridors with the rest of the squad and droid survivors following.
