Based on the Novel, as Darth Plagueis and his Master, Darth Tenebrous, arrive on the world of Bal'demnic to examine its cortosis supply, which is being mined unbeknownst to either the Republic or the Jedi Order. Tenebrous plans to take advantage of the cortosis' natural resistance to lightsaber blades for his future attempts to overthrow the Jedi and replace the Republic with an empire ruled by the Sith. During the examination, the mining probe droid begins digging at a pocket of explosive lethane next to a cortosis deposit against orders, leading Tenebrous and Plagueis to rush back to their ship and escape the resulting explosion. Unfortunately, the explosion occurs before they make it back to their ship, but Tenebrous is able to use the Force to contain the explosion so it doesn't kill them, while Plagueis makes sure that their ship isn't destroyed by the impact of the blast. In the process, Tenebrous is severely weakened, and Plagueis finds himself with the opportunity to end his Master's life and take on the role of Sith Master. He uses the Force to hurl falling debris on top of his Master; then, attempting to make it look as though it was a natural event, he rushes to his master's side. However, he cannot resist revealing to Tenebrous what his true plans were, and what they meant for the future of the Sith.
