The bonzami goes after Zeb as Luna goes into the pod. Zeb goes into the pod, too and the creature roars and Zeb and Luna cover their ears. The bonzami is driven away from the pod and Zeb and Luna see that Agent Kallus, who managed to retrieve his bo rifle, shooting at the bonzami. Zeb and Luna get out of the pod and all of them shoot at the bonzami.
The bonzami is eventually driven off and Zeb says "Karabast! What was that?"
Agent Kallus says "Don't know, but it's probably going to come back."
Zeb says "Yeah, and it's probably gonna brings it's friends."
Agent Kallus says "That is the order of things. The strong survive, the weak perish."
Agent Kallus sits back down and Zeb says "Is that what happened on Geonosis? The weak needed to perish?"
Agent Kallus says "The only thing I know about Geonosis is that the population is gone. I never asked questions."
Luna says "Well, maybe you should start."
Zeb says "Or are you afraid of the answers you'll get? Afraid you'll learn the Geonosians were wiped out by your precious Empire?"
Agent Kallus says "And why would we do that? What could possibly be the point?"
Zeb says "Ah, good questions. Chase the answers, and maybe you'll learn the truth."
Agent Kallus says "You know, you'll never get out of here without my help."
Zeb chuckles and says "You're in no shape to help anybody."
Zeb shoves a medpac into Agent Kallus's hands and Agent Kallus says "I can tell you exactly how to climb out of here."
Zeb says "All right. We'll work together."
Zeb picks up Agent Kallus's bo rifle and says "I see you modified it for close quarters fighting. Impressive. But you shouldn't have it. It's not a trophy. Now hold still."
Zeb uses the bo rifle as a splint for Agent Kallus's broken leg.
Agent Kallus stands up and he says "I didn't take it as a trophy. The Lasat guardian I faced...He fought well, died with honor. He gave me the rifle before..."
Zeb says "The Boosahn Keeraw."
Agent Kallus says "The what?"
Zeb says "The Boosahn Keeraw, Lasat warrior way. When one is defeated by a superior foe, he gifts his weapon."
Agent Kallus says "I was...I was only doing my duty. It was nothing personal."
Zeb says "Yeah, well, what the Empire did on Lasan, I'll never forget it."
Agent Kallus says "We all have things we won't forget. I remember my first unit. The boys and I were deployed to Onderon to bring peace and security to a troubled world. We were on a routine patrol and ran into one of your rebel friends, a Lasat mercenary who worked for Saw Gerrera. I was lucky, knocked out by the first blast. I came to, but found I couldn't move. And then I saw him, the Lasat, calmly walk through smoke and fire to finish my unit off, one by one. The injured never had a chance. Always wondered why he let me live."
Zeb says "Well, you can't judge all Lasats as the same."
Agent Kallus says "Does that sentiment apply to Imperials?"
Zeb says "All the Imperials I know."
Agent Kallus says "I'll take that for you, for the climb."
Zeb instead throws his bo rifle, up to the surface through the hole, as well as the rock and transponder.
Zeb says "We'll get it when we reach the top."
