    Normally, our fourth outpost comes here to pick up its supplies, but their convoy never arrived this month. I'm afraid something happened - they need to be found.
    Meteor
    Just tell us where to look.
    Kahrin Wek
    You've got to be the best friend these soldiers ever had. The route between the outposts runs along Lake Brell - not the best planning. There's rakghouls there and a nexu spawning ground, and worse. Usually the convoys manage by only traveling when the sun is highest. Plus lots and lots of firepower. But if they're out there too long... well, you need to find them.
    Hero of Tython
    Every moment we delay risks their lives. We'll leave right now.
    Kahrin Wek
    Whatever happened to the convoy, we need to make sure Morne Outpost gets their supplies. Sonic emitters along the route usually keep off the worst of the critters. But if they're on the fritz, that convoy would have walked into a feeding frenzy. Fix the emitters and see what you can find about the convoy. When you're done, report to Commander Yajak at Morne Outpost. And thank you.

    Gilroh
    We just stopped to rest! Geozel found a scratch, and we don't know if it's the rakghoul infection, so we're waiting. And Ferdoin might be coming down with Geonosian swamp flu, but we're on our way, I swear, and- You're looking at me very strangely.
    Hero of Tython
    Are you part of the Outpost Four supply convoy?
    Gilroh
    Um, yes. Private Gilroh. I assumed you were looking for us.
    Voidhound
    What are you expecting me to accuse you of?
    Gilroh
    Nothing! I mean, I know we're late, so people naturally start thinking....
    Voidhound
    Thinking what? That you were dead?
    Gilroh
    Would they care? I'm sorry. I shouldn't- are you even Republic? I don't recognize....
    Barsen'thor
    What are you trying to say?
    Gilroh
    Nothing. There's nothing to tell. I mean- I'm Private Gilroh, Taris Outpost Four. I kind of assumed you were looking for our convoy. We, uh, just stopped to rest. Sorry to trouble everyone.
    Meteor
    You're forty-eight hours late. Have you been here that whole time? Are you afraid of something? Is someone after you?
    Gilroh
    What isn't after us on this awful planet? The nexu, the--the blasted rakghouls! Like I said, Ferdoin was hurt- I mean, Geozel, and- Oh, forget it. I was never a good liar. We aren't going back, is that what you want to hear? We've deserted.
    All I wanted was to serve the Republic, fight Imperials, see new parts of the galaxy. I never asked to be sentenced to this forsaken hole.
    Hero of Tython
    Are conditions so bad you would turn against your every oath of loyalty?
    Gilroh
    I love the Republic, I do, but I've been here five years on a one-year tour. I've sent complaints, talked to psych counselors, nothing.
    Five years we've been out here, no break. Most of our friends have died. We're wounded, tired, broken. Fighting something that can't think, can't be frightened. And if you get the slightest scratch, you become the enemy and your own squad puts you down like a dog!
    Meteor
    How could you do that? What kind of man abandons his comrades in the face of such an enemy?
    Gilroh
    Ha. We're not the only ones talking about running for it. We just got the first chance. You think we didn't agonize about that? If we were fighting the Sith... if our deaths would mean something... there's nothing on Taris!
    Voidhound
    I know army life stinks, but don't they kill you or something if you desert?
    Gilroh
    Prison on Coruscant - which is way better than being stuck here. At least your family can visit!
    Hero of Tython
    You have given the Republic as much as it can reasonably demand.
    Gilroh
    Y- you're not going to turn us in?
    Hero of Tython
    You'll never survive alone out here. You've been through enough.
    Gilroh
    We're heading back near the main base. There are scavengers with ships there. Maybe we can make it offworld. Please, tell Commander Yajak that you found our bodies. That way no one will ever come looking.
    Barsen'thor
    We'll buy you a ticket home. Take this. It should be enough to buy a berth on a smuggler's ship.
    Gilroh
    You... I can't... I mean, we thought we might get a spot with one of the scavengers, but then we heard they kill strangers on sight. This- this would save my life. Maybe I can even get back in time to fix things with my girl.

    Yajak
    Republic Outpost Four, sovereign territory of the Galactic Republic. No unauthorized visitors. We will defend ourselves with deadly force if necessary. State your business!
    Meteor
    First lieutenant, Havoc Squad. Most recently of Ord Mantell.
    Yajak
    There's no unauthorized travel this far into the wilds; best policy's usually blast first, chat later. Don't suppose you were sent by Commander Gardit with news about our supplies?
    Meteor
    Your supplies are on the way, but no thanks to him.
    Yajak
    Sounds like there's a story there, but I won't waste your time asking for it. Let me just say "thanks."
    Our own convoy never reported back - wouldn't be the first time we lost one to the nexu. I was about to send another, but that means leaving the whole outpost understaffed and undefended. And the rakghouls have been real active this month. Don't suppose you saw any sign of our boys? If they're still alive, they better have a good excuse for leaving us hanging.
    Hero of Tython
    We found their bodies along the route.
    Yajak
    No surprise. Ah, well, they'll be missed. I'll send their uniforms home to their kin.

from the crashed ship, she turned to them for help again. She informed the operatives that a convoy from Morne outpost never arrived to pick up their supplies for the month. Sonic emitter beacons along the route between Draay outpost and Morne helped fend off some of the nastier creatures around Lake Brell, but they were broken down. Wek asked the operatives to repair the sonic emitter beacons along the path around Lake Brell before they began searching for the missing convoy.

roaming the road, the operatives repaired all four beacons and began searching for the missing convoy. When the operatives finally found the convoy, Gilroh attempted to lie that they were only stopping to rest. But he quickly gave up and told the truth, asking the operatives what they planned to do.
To Gilroh's surprise, instead of turning them in, the operatoves gave Gilroh and his comrades enough credits to buy a spot on a smuggler's ship. Gilroh thanked them and told them that he planned to find his girlfriend and try to fix things between them. The operatives later informed Gilroh's superior Commander Yajak

that they had found the convoy's bodies in the wilds, ensuring their safe escape. Yajak was not surprised and did not express any particular regret.
