After Republic security forces spotted one of the Gands with the artifact, the Guild was barricaded to prevent the Gands from escaping and one of G'luun's underlings was captured. With the information from the underling, a Jedi Consular activated the signal device in the Old Galactic Market, which attracted G'luun's attention. G'luun was told that if he relinquished the Noetikon, the barricade would be removed and he and the other Gands would be permitted to leave Coruscant. G'luun complied to these orders.
