Plot summary

Quinlan Vos, a Jedi Master, makes his way out of the Coruscant sewers after residing there for a week; he then has a meeting with Yoda at the Jedi Temple. He recounts the details of his experiences while probing into a series of recent political murders.

His investigation revealed that the Red Hand syndicate, under the leadership of Ayo Morota, was responsible for the assassinations. He successfully infiltrated the gang, acquiring valuable intelligence, but his cover was blown. Morota commanded her henchmen to eliminate Vos. Vos escaped, overcoming numerous thugs in combat—both while running and during speeder bikes chases—until he realized he was disoriented in the chaos.

After successfully subduing more of Morota's dispatched thugs, Vos manages to trap Morota near an underground sewage waterfall. Morota proclaims to him that the Jedi Order is too arrogant to realize their defeat. Following this, she leaps to her death from the waterfall.

Returning to the present, Vos is left pondering what malevolent force could inspire such devotion. Yoda responds by saying that fear can turn the dweller of the depths into a servant of the one atop the highest spire.

At the same time, Mas Amedda briefs Supreme Chancellor Palpatine on the Red Hand's obliteration at the hands of Quinlan Vos, to which Palpatine responds that they have served their purpose.
