Later on the three meet up with Kota, "Open rebellion is too dangerous, Master Kota. I know I owe you my live, but…" Organa states. "You don't owe me anything. I told you on cloud city that I can't help you, not since I lost my sight." Kota informs them. But then justers to the siblings. "They're the real heroes and it's their rebellion. Join us because they're asking you to." Kota states. "You two are the first to really fight the Empire. We're not going to prepare for war yet. We need weapons and starships, and people with the courage to use them. I don't know how many others will stand with us…" Bail states.
"But surely you know some who will." Riema asks him. "Well, yes, there are other Senators who have spoken against the Emperor. But they will be hard to convince." he tells her, "We just need to show them that the Empire is vulnerable." Kota answers. "Let me meditate on that. I'm sure I can find the right target." Galen states, Riema raise her eye brow at him, "In the meantime, Senator, gather you friends. We'e going to need all the help we can get." Galen orders, shaking Bail's hand, then the Senator walks to his shuttle.

Riema wonders through the ship, trying to find Galen, but then heard voices; Galen and an unwelcome one. She wonders to the room with a door crack open, she peeks in and cover her mouth and shock; Galen was kneeling before Lord Vader, the she felt a hand on her shoulder, she moves her hand away, seeing Juno and Antonio next to her, they understood her shock look and the three peek inside. But when Galen spoke he was unsure of himself.
But then the conversation was over, Vader became Proxy. "I hate being..." Proxy mumbles, rubbing the back of his head. "I think he too." Galen mumbles, then the three step in. Proxy notices them. "Master..." states, then Galen sighs. "Juno… Antonio… Riema…" he mumbles and turns around seeing then standing there, not happy at all. "Antonio and I came to find where you wanted to go next. But it looks like you already been told." Juno states, as Antonio held Riema's shoulder, comforting her.
"Juno this isn't what it looks like..." Galen tries to explain to her, but she shoves his hand away, "Of course it is! You're still loyal to Lord Vader. After he branded me and Antonio traitors and he tried to kill you and Riema; but you're still his… his…" she tries to find the right words for it. "His slave." Riema states, tears streaming down her face. Galen hung his head in shame. "Then why did you defy Vader to rescue me?" Juno asks him. "I needed someone to fly the ship." he tells her. "We both know that's not true. My being here has never been about my piloting." she tells him, placing her hands on her hips. "Sometime soon, you will decide the fate of the rebellion, not your master. And when you have that moment, just remember that we were force to leave behind everything we've known. So please, don't make us leave another life behind." Antonio tells him. Then he lets go of Riema's shoulders then he and Juno left, leaving the three alone. "I'll… just… leave now…" Proxy states, feeling the tension in the room. Now Riema and Galen were left in the room.
She laugh bitterly to herself, "After everything we went through, the horrible thing Vader made us do." she starts, Galen looks at her, seeing the tears in her eyes. "Then we were betrayed by the one person we trusted. And now… you're still serving him after what we now accomplished, all the good we are doing… why?" she asks him as her voice broke. Galen looks at her and shame. Then enwraps her in his arms. Holding her tightly. Riema grips the back of his shirt, clutching it in her fist as she bury her face into his shoulder. "What happened to sticking together, always and forever?" she questions in through her choking voice and tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." he mumbles to her, "Why… why…" she cries. Galen hated himself even more, knowing he was the one who made his little sister cry.
