During the frantic evacuation, as Jones and Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix strode across the base's landing field, he informed her that thirty pallets of cannon shells were still in storage. With time running short, Connix told Jones to leave the munitions and ensure that the remaining personnel boarded the lifeboats departing to the Resistance cruiser Raddus.
However, as Connix finished speaking, several First Order Star Destroyers arrived in the D'Qar system, catching the pair's attention. Fearing that the First Order would send slicers and droids to scour the Resistance databanks, Connix ordered Jones to oversee the destruction of the computers before evacuating. Jones and Connix commanded the last lifeboat that left D'Qar, and their transport narrowly outran an orbital strike from the First Order dreadnought Fulminatrix.
