Meanwhile, back on Earth, everything was quiet at Vinare's Safehouse. The Clone Troopers of the 187th's Vaapad Company protected the surrounded area of the safehouse; keeping an eye on for any bounty hunter or Separatist Battle Droids coming their way. Most of them were hidden in the trees and behind boulders. Coming up a grass covered path, wearing a brown cloak, accompanied by a a squad of Clone Troopers and her assistant, Shizune, was Tsunade, still wearing her Jedi Robes given to her by Mollbry before leaving for D'Qar.

Before entering the safehouse, Tsunade saw, to her right, Kappa Squad coming through the woods after patrolling the surrounding area. "Lady Hokage," called Sergeant Dom, his Clone Commando helmet tucked under his arm. "We have completed our search of the surrounding area. No sign of any hostiles." Tsunade nodded curtly, her expression unreadable beneath her hood. "Good work, Sergeant. Dismiss your men. They need rest." As the Clone Commandos saluted and dispersed, Shizune leaned in, whispering, "We should get updates on Jay Lyon. We have been kept in the dark and should find out what is going on." Tsunade nodded. "Right. I will speak with Sergeant Dom. We need to understand the situation fully." Turning to Sergeant Dom, Tsunade spoke to him. "Sergeant, I like to speak to you in my office." She says to the Clone Commando. "An update on what, ma'am?" Asked Dom, curious on what she is asking for. "I need an update on Jay Lyon." Tsunade said.

Once inside the safehouse, inside Tsunade's make-shift office, Dom told Tsunade of what he heard through Comm Channels while Shizune brew some tea for Tsunade. "What I heard," Dom began "He confronted Kai Rooke on Coruscant before Vineona Ellulde intervene and saved him before being taking into custody by the Republic Military. The Republic and members of Squad Two surrounded her and Rooke before a male Mandalorian intervene and safe them.". Tsunade sighed, her eyes closed for a moment. "I see. So, he confronted Kai Rooke and the Arrancar stepped in save him?" she said to the Sergeant of Kappa Squad. "Apparently so, ma'am." Leaning forward, she continue to speak to the Clone. "What did you learn so far?" "I heard General Windu has came up with a plan to rescue Commander Lyon and a squad of Clones he has with him in prison." Dom replied. Shizune walked in with the tea, setting it down on the wooden desk. "They are being held in a high security prison on Coruscant; the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center which is located in the Federal District of Coruscant." Dom said as Tsunade grabs her cup. "I see," Tsunade said, sipping her tea. "It won't be easy to get them out." "Commander Lyon was lucky to get out and chase after Rooke." Dom said "He could do it again; if he is even more lucky. "Sergeant, find Captain Muzi. I want her send a message to General Windu. Tell him we need a full briefing on the situation as soon as possible." "Yes, ma'am." Dom said with a salute. Turning on his heel, Dom left Tsunade's office to find Captain Muzi. Shizune waited until the Clone was out of earshot before speaking up. "My lady, I'm concerned about Jay. If he's captured, or the Separatists finds him, we could lose him." Tsunade nodded, her expression grim. "I know. But we can't risk compromising our position here by launching a rescue ourselves. We need to trust in Master Windu's plan." She took another sip of tea, her mind racing with possible scenarios and outcomes. "We will prepare for any eventuality. We must be ready to act swiftly if needed."

Back at the Republic Fleet, up on the bridge, Master Windu gathered Mollbry, Sergeant Hunter, Master Kota, Alex, Keeve, Vinare and several Clones for his plan to help Jay escape. Master Kenobi is up on the bridge and observing the meeting. Showing schematics the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center on the Holotable. "Vinare's apprentice reported that Jay is being held at the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center." Windu says. "Jay escaped from there before when he was chasing down Kai Rooke and fighting him in the Entertainment District of Coruscant.". Mollbry's eyes narrowed as she studied the layout of the prison. "It won't be easy to get him out without triggering an alarm.". "There is a way to get in." Obi Wan said, chiming in on the meeting. Everyone listened to Obi Wan as he explains his plan "When I was disguised as a Bounty Hunter named Rako Hardeen," Obi Wan began "I escaped with Moralo Eval and Cab Bane by an unloading zone. That unloading zone will be your only way in so you can get to Jay and get him out of there.". "Mollbry," Windu says, turning his gaze towards her "You will be the one in charge of this mission. Protect Lyon at all costs.". "Understood, Master." Mollbry said. "What Clone unit will they take when they go in?" Hunter asked. "Epsilon Squad." Replied Windu "They will be with on the mission. I informed them off the mission and they agreed help you out. They will be here in a few hours.". Mollbry nodded in approval. She knew Epsilon Squad from her past missions and knew they were good at stealth operations. Yet, she knew she can trust them in helping her friend out of that prison.
