[insects chirping]

[datapad beeping]

Good morning, Omega.

[beeping continues]

Come along.

There is much to do today.

[datapad beeping]

[beeping continues]

Something's different.

Why are there so many troopers around?

I'm not certain.

You don't know?

The doctor will inform me if it's necessary.

[door opens]

Emerie, a word?

An unexpected guest is arriving shortly.

Nala Se and I will be indisposed until he departs.

Oversee the lab in her absence.

As you wish, Doctor.

I will begin testing the latest samples.

That is unnecessary.

I will see to them when I return.

Dr. Karr's quite capable of handling such matters.

- See it done. - [clone commando] Sir.

- Is everything in order? - [clone commando] Affirmative.

The shuttle has left the orbital station and the coordinates were transmitted.

[Hemlock] Have additional V-wings standing by to escort his vessel to the base.

[clone commando] Yes, sir.

- Omega... - [clone commando] All patrols are posted

- and standing by for additional orders. - ...listen carefully.

If Emerie tests your sample, you will be in danger.

You must flee this facility before it is too late.

- Wait. - [Hemlock] See to it...

Is that why you've been destroying my samples?

- Yes. - [clone commando] Yes, sir.

- Project-- - [Hemlock] Nala Se, come along.

Our guest is arriving.

Go to the lab, retrieve my datapad and use it to escape.

Sneak aboard a shuttle and flee.

[Hemlock] Nala Se.

[door opens]

You must go.

[door closes]

[computer beeping]

[door keypad beeps]

[scanner whirring]

[door closes]

[computer beeping]

[datapad beeps]

[beeps]

Did you need something, Omega?

I...

Hemlock said there's a guest arriving.

[chuckles] Who is it?

It's best not to ask questions.

See to your tasks for the day.

Are you feeling well?

Forget your assignments and get some rest.

Okay.

Omega, I can handle things here.

Go. I'll check on you later.

[datapad beeps]

[beeping, whirring]

[thunder rumbling]

Emperor, your presence is an honor.

I have been most eager to see the progress you have made, Doctor.

[thunder rumbling]

We have quadrupled our objectives in record time.

The exotic matter facilities have expanded,

providing alteration and testing of much larger assets.

I have need of such grand designs.

However, that is not the reason why I am here today.

Of course.

Project Necromancer.

[door beeps]

[electricity humming]

[datapad beeping]

[mouse droid chirps]

[datapad beeps]

[datapad beeps]

[mouse droid chirps]

[squeaks]

Crosshair.

What are you doing here?

Escaping.

And you're coming with me.

You found a weak point?

Not exactly.

I'm kinda improvising.

Is that some kind of joke?

I'll explain later.

Just get the guards' attention.

[sighs] That's not a plan.

[scoffs] Just distract them.

[Crosshair sighs]

Guards!

Unlock this cell.

What did you say?

I was giving you an order.

[scoffs] This clone thinks he outranks us.

[laughs]

[Crosshair] I do.

And I'll take your blaster too.

[stormtrooper] Oh, yeah?

- How are you gonna do that? - [datapad beeps]

You'll see.

- [shouts] - [grunting]

[gasps, grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

- Nice work. - Didn't have much choice.

You're out of the cell, aren't you?

[beeping]

Well? Start talking.

I told you. We're escaping.

Why now?

What's changed?

[Omega] Nala Se said I had to.

And I wasn't gonna leave without you.

She told me to use her datapad to access the base and find a shuttle.

We just need to get to a hangar.

[stormtrooper 1] We're not supposed to be on patrol until midwatch.

[stormtrooper 2] Commander's orders.

All hands on deck until the Emperor departs.

The Emperor's here?

What? I didn't know.

[sighs] Another reason why this was not the day to wing an escape.

Thanks for the reminder, but I think we're past that point.

Your hand's getting worse, isn't it?

[grunts] I-It's fine.

[beeping]

Uh-oh.

[Crosshair] What?

All shuttles have been grounded, except the Emperor's.

We'll have to steal it.

Impossible.

It will be too well-guarded, even for me.

[gasps] Wait.

I know a shuttle we can use.

It crash-landed outside the perimeter back when I first came here.

How does a crashed shuttle help us?

If the comms are still functioning, we can contact Hunter and Wrecker.

And how do we get outside?

Follow me.

As you can see,

the specimens are well-guarded to ensure they remain viable for testing.

However, with more time, and additional resources,

I am confident that we will have a successful M-count replication.

There is nothing of greater importance to secure the future of this Empire.

Whatever is needed to accomplish this goal, you will have it.

[beeping, whirring]

[datapad beeps]

[sighs]

[lurcas snarling, barking]

[beeps]

[barking continues]

[beeps]

[sighs] Now what?

We'll use the kennel chute.

It leads outside, but it's protected by a timed ray shield.

We'll have to move fast or we'll be trapped.

[barking]

[Crosshair] Oh, I can hardly wait.

We can use Batcher's empty kennel.

- Be ready. - [beeps]

[Emerie] Omega.

Don't!

[Emerie] You should go back to your room.

You mean her cell.

You're not thinking clearly.

Neither of you.

But it's not too late.

Come with me and no one needs to know about this.

I can't do that.

Omega.

I spent most of my life confined on Kamino.

I won't be trapped here too.

You're a clone like us, Emerie.

Help us.

Escape is not possible, Omega.

This is for your own good.

[grunts]

[comm beeping]

We have to go.

[beeps]

[lurcas barking, snarling]

[comm beeping continues]

[thunder rumbling]

It is imperative that this facility remain hidden and secure.

There are many, even within our own ranks,

who would consider much of your work an abomination.

But they lack the vision that we possess.

Your brilliance is a great asset to this Empire.

If I am appointed the scientific minister,

I would strive to bring unleashed glory

to all divisions of the Imperial science corps.

[thunder rumbling]

All in due time.

Yes, Emperor.

[ship powering up]

- Sir. - What is it?

Omega and prisoner CT-9904 are missing.

Missing?

An alarm was just triggered in the lurca kennels.

Seal it off.

Activate the ray shields.

The shield's not supposed to activate yet.

They know we're in here.

Move faster!

- What direction is the crashed shuttle? - [Omega] Not sure.

- Oh, great. - [engines roaring]

We'll follow the flight path.

[lurcas barking]

What happened?

[Emerie sighs, groans]

Omega had one of our datapads.

They used it to access the chute.

[snarling, barking]

They made it past the ray shields.

Dispatch patrols and release the lurcas.

[beeping]

[pants, snarls]

[snarls, growls]

[sniffing]

[snarling]

Doctor, the lurcas will not bring them back alive.

They are prisoners who have escaped.

The time for half measures is over.

- Perhaps I could-- - Return to the lab, Dr. Karr.

I'm curious how your assistant managed to escape this facility.

One must assume she had help.

I have been right by your side.

Secure her in a cell.

Scramble the recovery team.

Yes, sir.

[alarm blaring]

[Omega] I'm picking up something.

I think it could be the ship.

- That way. - [lurcas snarling]

[lurcas panting]

Oh, good.

The killer hounds.

It should be up ahead.

[gasps, grunts]

[lurcas growling]

Thanks.

[dryax growling]

Crosshair.

[growling continues]

[dryax grumbling, growling]

[roars]

[lurcas snarling]

[lurcas panting]

[dryax growling, snarling]

[lurcas snarling]

Go!

- [lurcas snarling] - [dryax grunts]

[dryax roars]

[growls, roars]

[controls beeping]

[shuttle powering up]

[datapad beeps]

[computer beeping]

- [controls beeping] - Anything?

[groans] It's not working!

[sighs] Comms are completely dead.

[ship approaching]

They're coming.

We're getting an odd energy surge in sector 4.

It has to be them.

I'm sorry.

I thought this would work.

You got us this far.

And we're not done yet.

Did they teach you plan 72?

Mm-hmm. Tech had me memorize all the plans.

Of course he did.

Hook in and stay alert.

We need those prisoners found.

We've engaged the prisoners.

- [stormtrooper] Stand down. - [laughs]

Hello.

- I said, "Stand down." - [lurca snarls]

[growls]

Batcher?

[barks]

- Stay close. - [barking]

[stormtroopers shouting, indistinct]

[lurcas growling, barking]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts, groans]

[stormtrooper] Take cover! Look out!

The prisoners hijacked our shuttle!

[alarm blaring]

[whistles] Batcher, come!

[Batcher barking, growling]

[controls beeping]

[Batcher snarls]

[beeping, whirring]

[rhythmic beeping]

[beeping continues]

[whimpering]

- [alarm beeping] - They're locking onto us! I--

[grunts] I can't shake them!

Systems are failing!

I want that ship neutralized.

Stop!

- Don't shoot them down. - What?

The clone's sample supported a positive M-count transfer

with no degradation from the specimen.

CT-9904 was ruled out long ago.

Not him. It's Omega.

Call them off!

But, sir, they're escaping.

Stand down!

- [comm beeps] - We need her alive.

Now!

[clone commando] They've jumped.

[sighs]

A minor setback.

I have the full resources of the Empire at my disposal.

We will find her.
