- Just who is Captain Terex of the First Order, and how did he manage to locate Poe's squadron? [1]
- Will Poe and his team be able to secure their objective before Terex does? [1]
Using speeder bikes and jetpacks, Terex, accompanied by a group of stormtroopers, advances on Dameron. They use explosives to breach the door protecting the Crèche and gain entry. Earlier, Phasma instructed Terex to locate Dameron to find out what intel the Resistance had gotten ahold of and what their plans were for it. The Crèche members claim ignorance of Dameron's identity, while Dameron, concealed nearby, instructs the remaining members of Black Squadron to acquire something to use as leverage.
In the airspace above, L'ulo opens fire on the First Order platform guarding the cave entrance, which causes the TIE fighters to engage him in a dogfight. While all TIE fighters are ultimately destroyed, a portion of the platform is destroyed, causing it to collapse and obstruct the cave entrance. Additional TIE fighters emerge from the Ravenous and begin attacking the squadron.
After Terex makes threats against the egg, Dameron makes his presence known. Terex demands that Dameron immediately give him the information, while flametroopers begin to target the egg. The egg then starts to hatch.
