On the planet known as Garel, after an attempt to disable the local communications tower, Likana together with C-3PO found themselves as captives of Director Orlok. He then got in touch with General Armitage Hux to share the information that his communication system was online and prepared for a test. Likana inquired of C-3PO if he possessed the ability to run at high speed, while she discreetly tampered with a card inside the communication system, setting it to broadcast an alternative message. As he prepared to utilize it, Hux cautioned Orlok that the system better be functional.
However, upon activation, the system broadcasted a call for assistance originating from soldiers desiring to oppose the First Order. The failure enraged Hux, and Orlok found himself uncertain regarding his next action. Turning his attention to Likana and C-3PO, he placed the blame for the issue on them.
The two then made a rapid escape from the room, with Orlok giving the order for their immediate recapture. Entering the elevator, C-3PO remained concerned about the possibility of capture. Likana then altered the capture order, redirecting it to a different location, ensuring that upon exiting the elevator, the area was clear, allowing them to escape the tower.
They proceeded to run through the streets of Garel City, only to be intercepted by Orlok. Consumed by anger, he accused Likana of causing him humiliation. He stated that it represented his final opportunity to prove his worth, and that Hux would never regard him with seriousness after this setback. Before he could stun Likana and C-3PO, R2-D2 and BB-8 appeared from behind and stunned him instead.
Aboard their starship, General Leia Organa came to the conclusion that C-3PO was being truthful regarding the mission. She then addressed Likana, expressing her gratitude to the girl. She voiced her opinion that the Duros had demonstrated considerable bravery through her actions, but advised her to exercise greater caution in the future, jokingly referencing Commander Poe Dameron. Dameron cautioned the droids against recklessness, although BB-8 held the belief that he was the one who needed to learn it. Dameron instructed them to leave the First Order to the Resistance, but C-3PO countered by stating that they were now all part of the Resistance.
