Plot summary[]
Following Lord Vader's threat, Jerjerrod returned to his quarters before devising a plan. Using the schematics to locate Vader's meditation chamber, he waited for the Sith Lord there and offered to take him on a tour of the battle station, hoping his imposing presence would provide motivation for the workers. Together they traversed the massive station, taking shuttles and lifts to travel as necessary. Vader told Jerjerrod that he saw adequate work and asked what the Moff thought was causing the delays. Having already said that the timeline was the real issue, Jerjerrod guessed that Vader was referring to one of the biggest design changes: the new venting system that would prevent the station from being exploited as the first iteration had. However, Vader was displeased by the answer and told Jerjerrod to not focus on past failures before striding off. Returning to his quarters, Jerjerrod once again contemplated the impossible situation he was in. He simply did not have enough time or resources to get the massive battle station operable. Then, he considered what operable could mean. He decided to focus the majority of the labor on finishing the superlaser, which was designed to be the last part of the station completed. When he presented this idea to Vader, he simply replied that Jerjerrod must remember that any work worth doing was worth doing well before departing.
