History Recap / StarWarsTheBadBatchS3E13IntoTheBreach

* CallForward: Rampart mentions Tarkin's name to the lieutenant in order to help the Batch gain further passage in Imperial Station 003, which is what Hera will later do in the ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsSparkOfRebellion series premiere]].
* ContrivedCoincidence: The shuttle Echo stole came with plenty of supplies, and conveniently among them was a fresh Imperial captain's uniform for Rampart to use.

* {{Determinator}}: When extracting the coordinates to Tantiss before launch proves impossible, because the science vessel will only receive them after launch and is too heavily guarded for all of them to stow away undetected, Rampart suggests they call the whole thing off before they get killed. The Bad Batch, however, decide to push on, with Echo choosing to infiltrate the ship alone so he can disable the proximity sensors, allowing Hunter to attach their stolen shuttle to the hull undetected and hitch a ride. They've already made it this far, and they can't wait for another science vessel, since they want to make every second towards rescuing Omega count.

* TheDreaded: When a lieutenant questions the Batch's presence, Rampart bluffs him by suggesting he take it up with Governor Tarkin; clearly too afraid of Tarkin to actually do so, the lieutenant lets them pass without incident.

* PaperThinDisguise: Rampart's "disguise" is wearing a captain's rank, plus his longer hair and beard. As for the Bad Batch, they simply strip off the coloured markings on their black clone commando armour, but otherwise wear the same gear they always do. Unsurprisingly, the Lieutenant in the docking bay immediately tags them as being out of uniform, forcing Rampart to throw around Governor Tarkin's name to scare the officer away and justify them as being part of a clandestine division.

* RaceAgainstTime: Time is not on the Bad Batch's side here. They have to infiltrate Station 003 and finish their mission before their Rho-class transport shuttle is reported stolen, and the on-duty Lieutenant still flags a discrepancy in their port of origin. This becomes a non-issue once they discover ships headed to Tantiss only receive coordinates upon launch. Instead, their deadline is that they have to hitch a ride ''and'' disable the sensors on the vessel before it jumps.
* SkewedPriorities: Rampart is offended at being given a captain's uniform for the infiltration, as he was a vice-admiral. Never mind that his legitimate military career is over, he's been shanghaied into helping the Batch rescue Omega from his former employers, and the uniform is only a disguise anyway. He's bluntly told that he's been demoted.

* HoldYourHippogriffs: Echo calls Rampart a ''hydrosnake'', when asking Hunter if the former Vice Admiral is trustworthy.

* BavarianFireDrill: Rampart and the Bad Batch are able to bluff their way aboard the Imperial space station by having Rampart wear an Imperial captain's uniform and bluster his way in with "secret orders" from Governor Tarkin, with the Batchers acting as his clone "escort". It helps that, as a former Vice-Admiral (who's , Rampart knows the right Imperial protocols to get the officers and TK Stormtroopers to stand down.
* BeneathNotice: Rampart should consider himself lucky he's been "demoted" to captain, as his former rank of Vice Admiral would've been too high profile for their secret mission. Imperials usually won't bother to remember the faces or place names to those ranked captain or lower to give a second glance.

* ExactWords: Rampart is told he will get his freedom once the Bad Batch gets the location of the Tantiss base. But, the Bad Batch can't extract the coordinates before the ship leaves, and they're Rampart's only ride out. The whole point was to get the coordinates ''first'' and then head there. Since their only option is to catch the ship itself, this means they ''physically'' can't let Rampart go, and by the time they get the location, they'll ''already'' be there.

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Invoked; Hunter pointedly reminds Rampart that the Empire threw him under the bus as an incentive not to consider betraying the Batch.

* OnlySaneMan: Ironically, it's ''Rampart'' who ends up being the rational one. He was ambitious, but he's not stupid. Once it becomes clear that extracting the coordinates to Tantiss from the science vessel's navicomputer is next to impossible, the Bad Batch decides to catch the ship and go to Tantiss. Rampart suggests they call the whole thing off, citing just how dangerous this move is, which isn't unreasonable.

* RaceAgainstTime: Time is not on the Bad Batch's side here. They have to infiltrate Station 003 before their Rho-class transport shuttle is reported stolen, and the on-duty Lieutenant still flags a discrepancy in their port of origin. This becomes a non-issue once they discover ships headed to Tantiss only receive coordinates upon launch. Instead, they have to hitch a ride ''and'' disable the sensors on the vessel before it jumps.

* {{Determinator}}: Extracting the coordinates to Tantiss before launch would prove impossible, the science vessel would be too heavily guarded for all of them to stow away on, and the ship was departing soon. Rampart suggests they call the whole thing off before they get killed. The Bad Batch however...decide to push on. They've already made it this far, and they can't wait for another science vessel, since they want to make every second towards rescuing Omega count.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Even Rampart didn't think the location of Tantiss was THAT heavily guarded. Ships headed there will only receive the coordinates upon launch.

* JustInTime: The Bad Batch as they're approaching the science vessel were just within a hair's breadth of getting pulverized due to the proximity sensors not being disabled ''and'' the ship entering hyperspace. Echo disables the sensors in the nick of time.

* MovingTheGoalposts: After it becomes clear that they can't get the coordinates to Tantiss from a departing science vessel, Hunter [[IndyPloy changes the plan]] to attaching their stolen Rho-class transport shuttle ''to'' the science vessel and hitching a ride; Rampart complains that [[NotWhatISignedOnFor that wasn't the plan]] (mostly because the previous plan included him being dropped off en route to Tantiss), but Crosshair unsympathetically informs him that plans change.

This becomes a non issue once they discover ships headed to Tantiss only receive coordinates upon launch. Instead, they have to hitch a ride ''and'' disable the sensors on the vessel before it jumps, by which point they'd be long gone.

* VillainHasAPoint: Dr. Scalder questions Emerie's decision to allow Omega to interact with the other child prisoners. Emerie shuts down the challenge to her authority, but Scalder's criticism proves well-founded, as Omega quickly starts planning a break-out, fully intent on taking the other children with her. Once she decides to check but finds nothing unusual, she thinks she's gotten a bit paranoid.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The [[EnemyMine alliance]] between the Bad Batch and ex-Admiral Rampart is tense and uncomfortable. Rampart's arrogance makes him a pain to work with, while the Batch blatantly don't trust him and rely on him having no other options to keep him in line.
