Lina Soh, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, embarks on an official visit to Corellia. Given that her usual security detail lacks familiarity with the intricacies of [Coronet City](/article/coronet_city], Alys Ongwa, known as "Crash," and her team dedicated to diplomatic protection, are entrusted with safeguarding the Chancellor throughout her stay. The droid 10-K8, referred to as "Ten Kayt," observes Alys's habit of narrating and referring to herself in the third person, a behavior Alys is actively attempting to correct.
Returning her focus to the task at hand, Alys requests status reports from all units. Fezzonk, code-named "Air Eleven," confirms that the airspace above is secure. Smeemarm of Tunnel Team Twelve reports a similar status for the subterranean areas. The Wookiee Tangor expresses his agreement through a roar. Ovarto Bitolo-Bash and Barchibar of Ground Team Six indicate that their designated sector is secure. While patrolling Subsector seven with a pair of Corellian hounds, the Prybolt Garavult reports a potential anomaly.
In a parallel sequence of events, a member of the Nihil organization, known as the Respriler, deploys several scav droids into the streets of Coronet City. The Prybolt and his hounds encounter one of these scav droids, which is interfering with his communications. The scav droid manages to evade the hounds and ascends rapidly into the sky. With the scav droid no longer present, the Prybolt is able to communicate with his colleagues, informing Fezzonk about the incoming scav droid. Simultaneously, the Arcona Smeemarm ("Tunnel Team Twelve") encounters a scav droid, which he promptly neutralizes before it can enter a passageway.
Alys informs "Air Eleven" of a scav droid's proximity to his vehicle. As her frustration mounts, 10-K8 advises her to take deep breaths. Meanwhile, Smeemarm confirms that she has eliminated one of the scav droids. The Dowutin Fezzonk successfully locates his scav droid and destroys it using his aircraft's laser cannon. Alys expresses her satisfaction with Fezzonk's success in eliminating the threat and inquires whether someone is available to eliminate the threat. One of Lina Soh's Targons intercepts the scav droid as it crashes.
While 10-K8 is elated, Alys remains unconvinced, suspecting that the attack was merely a prelude. The Respriler communicates with Sabata Krill via hologram, reporting that their mission proceeded as planned and that they acquired the necessary information for their subsequent attack. Sabata expresses her satisfaction and assures him that she will manage her part of the operation.
