When HOB-147 woke, he attacked the battle droid thinking that he had been captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. When Coyle walked into the sickbay he stunned the clone with an electro-dart and chained him to a wall. The clone was left alone, allowing him to rip the metal chain from the wall. He walked through the ship, until he encountered a group of Jedi Younglings that Hurd was transporting including Nia, who he had met earlier, and Bon.
When Coyle's ship was subsequently boarded by a group of clone troopers, HOB-147 told the commander that the Coyle had saved his life and that there were no Jedi aboard. The commander believed the pilot's lie and ordered his men back to their ship, sparing Coyle.
