After a battle, Malleus stands outside of a Republic base; watching ships arriving and leaving. Eventually a ship lands, and lieutenant Sar of Redzer company approaches him, and asks Malleus to accompany him on a mission to Coruscants lower levels in the Uscru district. The two make their way back to the shuttle; while on board, Sar reveals to Malleus that the mission is to check up on a hutt named Quibbu.

The shuttle eventually reaches Coruscant and lands. Sar temporarily leaves to gear up. Malleus turns to find that ARC ARF trooper Riptide had stowed away on the shuttle unbeknownst to the two lieutenants, so Malleus explained the mission to him. As Sar exited the armoury and approached the two, Malleus introduced Riptide to him. Sar then left on a speeder bike to head down to Quibbu's nightclub.

After failing to check in, Malleus and Riptide were worried that something had happened to Sar, who had been captured by the hutt.

After locating Spectre, Malleus was informed that the comms with the venator were down, but troopers Voyage and Saxum were working on it. Upon reaching the two clones' position, the comms were back up. Malleus ordered the troopers to contact Hexer aboard *The Desolation*. The lieutenant then proceeded to fire at the droids, noticing the remains of Riptide platoon entering the trench as he did so.

Malleus continued along the trench, eventually encountering Howitzer. Howitzer informed Malleus of the situation and status of Riptide, mentioning the deaths of Sharpeye and ARC trooper Hawk. After hearing this news, Malleus appointed Howitzer as the leader of Riptide platoon, telling him to organise his men, and explaining that he would have to contact Hexer about this. Malleus then returned back to Voyage and Saxum's location. using the comms to communicate with the venator. Malleus informed Hexer that they needed transport to get out off of the planet, to which the captain mentioned that the Jedi general had been overruling his orders.
