"By the standard of my so called peers, she's not that bad," Ibani replies, tone wry. "She's competent and not cruel for amusement's sake. Honestly, I'd be willing to overlook her attempt to get me killed, except that her attempt is also putting the people of the Empire at risk."
Ibani's expression becomes hard as diamond for a moment. "It seems I'll have to make it very clear that whatever threatens the people of the Empire will not be tolerated."
She shakes her head, and her expression softens. "But that's for later. I'm afraid I don't know how many we'll be facing, either Jedi or droids. One of my people sent me a message right after the start of their initial attack, which is why I knew the place was taken at all." Ibani says 'my' the same way Ben might have once referred to the clones under his command.
"The message said he didn't hear any guns firing, and they only pushed through from the landing bay at one point, so I expect they were in something small, shuttle sized. As for droids, there could easily be hundreds by now. Depends on how long it took them to figure out how to switch the Foundry over to making what they wanted."
