Afterwards, Organa took the soldiers blaster rifle, unaware of the elaborate tracking system installed on it. With the blaster being removed form the possession of its owner, a condition red alerted Corwyth's command center.[1]
As such, the Imperial officer was sent to investigate the stormtrooper's last known location. Along with a squad of other stormtroopers, the officer found the incapacitated trooper. Using a playback feature in the trooper's helmet's recording unit, the officer learned of Organa and trooper's encounter.

The officer reported his findings back to Corwyth, who dispatched further squads to apprehend the Princess.[1]
