He's placed in the surgical pod and survives the chip removal process. Luckily, Rex is able to stun Wrecker before he kills Omega. Sadly, the inhibitor chip is too powerful, forcing Wrecker (who's clearly in distress) to repeat Crosshair's chilling catchphrase: “Good soldiers follow orders." She's able to sneak away thanks to her small stature and pleads with Wrecker to stop. He begins shooting at the others, calling them traitors and even pinning Hunter to a wall, telling him “All clones in violation of Order 66 shall be terminated.” Omega bravely fires a shot at him and gets Wrecker to chase her. Suddenly, Wrecker starts to choke Tech! “You’re in direct violation of Order 66,” he says in an uncharacteristically robotic manner. RELATED: The Bad Batch Episode 6's Best Moment Is a Gloriously TERRIBLE Joke Hunter admits they didn’t understand why the regs attacked the Jedi on Kaller and mentions allowing Kanan Jarrus to escape. Hunter promises that won't happen, assuring her "You’re stuck with us for the long run." As the surgical pod whirs to life, Rex notes very few clones were able to resist Order 66. Omega's pretty scared herself, admitting she's afraid if something goes wrong she will be left all alone. A nervous Wrecker is comforted by Omega in yet another example of their adorable friendship. It's rundown, much to Tech's annoyance, but still functioning. With the others' help, Wrecker wards off the dianogo and the squad makes it to the Jedi cruiser's medical bay. No, it's not an homage to the octopus from Lords of the Rings, it's a dianoga - the same creature that tried to kill Luke Skywalker in the Death Star's trash compactor from A New Hope. (More foreshadowing!) Sure enough, when Wrecker falls into the water, he's attacked by a tentacled creature. (Foreshadowing!) Rex also cautions the others to stay above the planet’s waterline. Hunter and the gang agree to meet Rex on Bracca, a Mid Rim world that Hunter refers to as “a starship graveyard." There, they find a fallen Jedi cruiser like the one where Rex got his chip extracted in Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 7 but have to be careful to avoid the Scrapper Guild, which controls Bracca. RELATED: The Bad Batch Confronts Its Biggest Mistake - and Barely Survives He tells them it’s not something they can regulate either and insists they get their chips taken out ASAP. Poor Rex is obviously traumatized by Order 66, saying he doesn’t want to bury any more of his brothers. He starts to reach for his gun, telling Hunter and the gang they’re all ticking time bombs and a threat to those around them, Omega included. Despite Tech's assurances that Clone Force 99's “deviant nature" has impeded their chips' functionality, Rex is alarmed to learn the others haven't had them removed. He's amused by this, but his joy is short-lived when Wrecker's headache abruptly returns.Ĭoncerned, Rex quickly deduces that Wrecker's inhibitor chip is acting up. Omega, who's equally surprised at first to see the others embracing a reg, recognizes Rex is a Generation One clone based on the lines on his face. However, he's undeniably shocked to learn Omega is a clone like the rest of them. “Being dead in the Empire’s eyes has its advantages,” Rex admits. He's also listed as being dead in the Imperials' files, according to Tech. In a fun twist, "Battle Scars" reveals Rex was the mysterious individual the Martez sisters contacted after their adventure with Clone Force 99 on Corellia.

Shockingly, she's not wild about this and informs Hunter he needs a big score to make things square between them. Yes, it seems Wrecker and Omega have been feasting on a delicious snack dish known as Mantell Mix after their missions and putting it on Cid's tab. She tells him that's for her and tosses him a list of their expenses, including docking fees, port charges, gear, fuel, rations and. And guess what? That means you get paid too,” she retorts.Ĭid pays the squad but Hunter is angry, saying she told them the job paid three times as much.
Hunter chides her for not caring so long as she gets paid. Upon their return to Ord Mantell, Cid admits she doesn't know what her client wants "Ruby" for.
(Thanks Tech!) Echo gets the hyperdrive online just in time for them to escape. We are merely intercepting it," Tech points out. "Technically, the Rhokai stole the lizard first. For their latest job, Clone Force 99 has stolen a lizard, who Omega names "Ruby," from a group known as the Rhokai. "Battle Scars" picks up in medias res, with the Havoc Marauder being fired upon by a trio of vessels in space.
