Thrawn marched unhappily through the prison as he was returning to his room. He had failed in retrieving the Dathomirian that had the correct blood for Maul and his brother. Had wasn't able to capture 10 of the Dathomirian females and he had taken notice that there were Mandalorians fighting along the Dathomirians. The ones on the ship didn't even know much.

Thrawn was taken by surprise when he opened the door to his room and saw Emperor Palpatine standing in his room looking at the art work hanging on the walls.

"Emperor Palpatine," Thrawn started as he shut his door.

"Lord Thrawn, I have heard about your failure  to get blood for your prisoners." Palpatine spoke facing away from Thrawn.

"It is only temporary, some Mandalorians who still support Maul were protecting the ones who had the correct blood." Thrawn explained keeping his distance from Palpatine yet taking some steps forward.

"Your failure humiliates the Empire, Lord Thrawn." Palpatine looks at Thrawn over his shoulder as he wears his black cloak.

"I apologize, Emperor Palpatine. I can promise you it will not happen again." Thrawn spoke keeping his eyes forward.

"I know it will not happen again. I had foreseen this mistake and have been planning a back up plan. I have created a clone that will provide you with the correct blood that you will need to keep your prisoners alive." Palpatine spoke fully facing Thrawn.

"A clone?" Thrawn echoed looking curiously at the Emperor.

"Yes. Lord Vader had started making them in order to over throw me from my Throne. However, they have all failed him. The one I have created, shall serve use to both of us." Palpatine started and Thrawn stayed quiet. Thrawn was taken by surprise that Vader ever plotted to over throw Emperor Palpatine. "My clone's blood has already been sent to the infirmary. You advanced through the ranks quite quickly and I hope you serve me better than Lord Vader did, Lord Thrawn. It would be a great disappointment to lose another great solider. I am giving you another chance to prove yourself worthy of this new position I am giving you."

"I will be than Lord Vader, my Emperor, I thank you for this second chance, my Emperor." Thrawn kneeled down to Palpatine as Palpatine walked out of the room.

Kallus quietly walked through the halls of the prison. It was strange to him, there were barely any guards in the hallways. He slowly peaked around the corner and was surprised when he looked at the infirmary. He saw Thrawn standing inside of the infirmary watching the medical droids observe Maul and Feral as they were given the clone's blood. He saw as Feral attempted to attack Thrawn, until a Death Trooper pointed their blaster at Maul, who was sitting up and looking at the ground.

Kallus quickly hid behind the corner when Thrawn turned to look outside of the infirmary. Thrawn, amused, smirked as he looked behind him. He didn't know exactly who it was but his sensitive hearing told him that there was someone watching him.

After a moment, Kallus quickly made his way to the cell that held Obi-wan and his friends. After opening door, everyone looked like they were ready to leave.

"Where's Maul and Feral?" Ezra asked first.

"We can't leave yet." Kallus answers after a moment.

"What do you mean?" Obi-wan questioned "You said that the Mandalorians had the one that we needed to help heal Maul and Feral."

"We do, but Thrawn has somehow also got blood. Both Maul and Feral are up and moving already." Kallus reported to them and Obi-wan began thinking.

"We will have to escape ourselves soon. Once Maul and Feral are brought back here, we will have to leave as quick as we can. Kallus, we will need you to contact Rex and Chopper and tell them to be ready to pick us up and leave right after." Obi-wan began, "We can't chance at leaving anyone behind this time and that means Galen too."

"Galen?" Kallus echoes

"He was separated from us when we were captured." Kanan replied

"We can't leave him wherever he is. He's like you, he used to work with the Empire, but he was betrayed and he wants to help us and the Rebellion." Ezra explained

"Alright, I'll see what I can do to help him. For now just try to stay put. I'll be back to once I know that your friends are back and we will leave that moment. I'll give you a map of the Citadel and the escape route you'll be taking. While I'm gone, I'm going to disable all the doors and the alarms so Thrawn and the others won't know which way you went." Kallus explained

"What will you be doing during all of this?" Ezra asked

"I'll be your distraction. Don't worry, I'll be in a ship right after all of you. No one gets left behind this time." Kallus says

"You're coming with us?!" Ezra says surprised

"Thrawn's been onto be for days now, if I stay any longer, who knows what he or the Empire will do to me if I'm caught." Kallus answered him with a steady voice.

"Alright then. It's all planned out, it's everyone or no one." Kanan ended their conversation and Kallus quickly and quietly left the cell to contact the others.
