They walked through the building for twenty minutes, until they came to a long catwalk over many assembly lines making stormtrooper armour and weapons. Rows and rows of conveyer belts buzzed and crackled with the sounds of mass production. The whole crew stood on the bridge, and Mardox found a large blue button on the side of the wall. He reached over and pressed it with the heel of his hand. The door behind them slid shut quickly. All the claws and torches on the lines looked up at them for a moment, and returned to their work. The door at the other end of the bridge slid open, a figure stepped out, and the door closed again. The figure wore a close-fitting, grey tunic tucked into a white belt and a long, black dress down to the ankles. She also wore a black hood and cloak, and a black metal mask. She said,
"I am Darth Lani Skywalker of the Sith Order." She drew her lightsaber and ignited it, the red light filling the room. She swung it around herself a few times, and then brought it down in front of her, and held it with two hands in a ready position.

As soon as Lani had entered the room, Ezra felt a sharp ringing in his ears. It felt like his head was cracking open. When the Sith ignited her lightsaber, the ringing grew even louder. He drew his lightsaber, and the noise in his head became unbearable. He threw his head back and let loose a high-pitched, ear-splitting scream. One of pain. Of anger. Of fear. He ran towards Lani, and they fought. Ezra swung at her endlessly, never tiring, and the Sith parried each blow effortlessly. Stormtroopers had appeared in doorways at the side of the room, and were firing at the crew. The rebels deflected, dodged, and returned fire. Finally, Lani Force-pushed Ezra to the side of the catwalk, his head hanging over the side, his lightsaber clattering across the bridge. Lani was on top of him in a second, her forearm on his neck, the tip of her lightsaber at his forehead. The ringing in Ezra's head grew even louder, and he howled again. Kanan deflected a laser in their direction, and it hit Lani in the face, sending her mask spinning into the depths below. Suddenly, her face was uncovered and her blue hair fell around her shoulders.  Ezra couldn't believe his eyes.
"Cameron?"
She replied,
"Who the hell is Cameron?"
