Due to Wolffe's actions, the Galactic Empire has tracked the Spectres to the planet Seelos. At the clones' old All Terrain Tactical Enforcer, Sabine Wren is working on fixing the damage to the Phantom. She then pulled out her comlink, and contacted Kanan.

"The Probe hit us pretty badly. Repairs are going to take a little while longer." Sabine said.

"We don't have much time. No telling when the Empire will get here." Kanan responded. "We've to get off the surface."

Sabine also notices that there is a storm heading their way.

"Well, the Empire is not our only problem. There's a storm coming up behind us." Sabine warned.

Kanan sighs.

"If the Empire gets here before we take off, the storm will be the least of our problems!" Kanan said.

Inside the AT-TE, Rex came to greet the rebels with a data-card.

"Here they are, the coordinates of every Republic base, Separatist installation, Pirate hideout and smuggler's den in the Outer Rim." Rex said.

Rex gave the card to Zalo.

"Plus a few Mandalorian bases that even they forgotten about!" Wolffe added.

"You have our thanks, captain." Zalo said. "Are you sure you don't want to come with us? My mother and father really wanted to see you again."

"Yeah, and you are not bad in a fight. I mean, for older gentlemen." Zeb added.

Rex smiles and sighs.

"Yeah. Like I said, our war's over, Zalo. Don't much care to get mixed up in another." Rex said. "But, say hello to your parents for me."

"But the Empire's on its way, and they will find you." Ezra said.

Rex chuckled.

"Oh, we can take care of ourselves." Rex assured them.

Kanan Jarrus contacts Hera, in orbit on the Ghost fixing the ship's hyperdrive. She tells him there's no sign of the Empire, just before the Imperial Star Destroyer, Relentless, drops out of hyperspace, prompting Hera to exasperatedly comment about her tempting of fate. Hurriedly, she shuts down all of the starship's systems, including her astromech droid Chopper, who protests, to avoid being detected by the Empire.

Meanwhile back on the AT-TE...

"If they follow procedure, they'll fly search patterns, based on our last known position." Rex predicted.

Gregor then spoke up...

"Or they'll call. Incoming imperial transmission." Gregor said. "It's for your, Wolffe!"

Everybody looked at the computer screen, looking at the transmission invitation, much to Wolffe's shock.

"They called back? They... they never call back." Wolffe cried.

Kanan chuckled sarcastically.

"This! This is like I don't trust Clones!" Kanan said.

As the rebels backed away from the computer screen's view, Ezra and Zalo looked right at Wolffe.

"It's OK, just get rid of them." Zalo said.

Wolffe our his hand on the back on his head.

"Yeah, it was my mistake. And I'll fix it." Wolffe said.

Wolffe then clicked a button, then Agent Kallus showed up on screen.
