Skirata and Ordo go to Mygeeto where they rescue Vau. Vau gives everything but a pair of earrings to Skirata for the clone retirement fund. Ordo is given the earrings to give to Besany Wennen, whom he is in a relationship with. On Graftikaar, Darman and Atin are infiltrating a city on Graftikaar. In the city they discover ARC trooper Sull, a previously believed to be missing. Darman and Atin capture him and bring him back to the camp, where A’Den releases Sull. Darman then goes to Sull's apartment where he is assaulted by clone covert operations troopers. During the final assault on the capital of Graftikaar, Fi is injured in an explosion. It is revealed that it is a concussion and that he is brain dead and therefore is to be terminated. Skirata arranges to send Fi to a medical facility on Coruscant where he is scheduled to be terminated. Besany Wennen attempts to stop this from happening, and manages to delay the termination until CSF officer Jaller Obrim arrives and takes Fi to his home. Meanwhile, on Qiluura Etain Tur-Mukan is tasked with removing all the colonists from the planet. She does so but is forced to use aggressive actions after the colonists are not willing to surrender. After the battle she starts miscarrying Darman's child. She sends a distress call to Skirata who sends Ordo to help her. Ordo stabilizes the child and then takes Etain with her to meet up with Skirata, Vau and Null ARC Mereel who replaced Ordo while he was with Etain. Skirata finds Ko Sai in an underwater lab and takes her and her research before detonating the lab. On the ship, Ordo gets enraged by Ko Sai's unwillingness to cooperate that he takes the drive with all her research and destroys it. Skirata is horrified but sets a course for Mandalore. Once there, Etain gives birth to a son named Venku. Skirata then goes to Coruscant to pick up Fi. Once arrived on Coruscant Skirata finds out that Bardan Jusik has been attempting to accelerate Fi's healing. Upon his return Skirata discovers that Ko Sai has committed suicide. Skirata is devastated that they now no longer have any means of slowing the clones’ aging, but Mereel reveals that he had made copies and was merely bluffing.
