Dialog transcript

Haken
Everyone's aboard, Plex! Get us out of here, now! We're safe! You did it - you did what no one else could have done. You've saved us all. We owe you our lives... every one of us. So, on behalf of the passengers and crew of the Republic transport Esseles, thank you.
Meteor
You're welcome. It's been an honor to help and protect you all.
Haken
If you hadn't been here, we'd all have been doomed. We can't thank you enough.
I took up a collection from everyone on the ship - hopefully, these credits will help you save other people in need, the same way you've saved us.
Hero of Tython
Please - keep your credits. I'm sure you all need them more than we.
Haken
That's extremely gracious of you. Thank you very much.
Ambassador Asara, it's... it's a relief to see that you made it back to us safely as well.
Vyn Asara
Really? I imagine it comes as a bit of a surprise to see me here at all, Haken.
Haken
I- I don't know what you mean. Of course I'm glad to see you. Why would you think differently?
Voidhound
You offered us a reward to leave her on the Grand Moff's ship, Haken.
Haken
You must have misunderstood me. I would never... I wouldn't do something like that.
Vyn Asara
Thank you for telling me the truth and for everything else you've done here. The Republic needs heroes like you now more than ever.
I should warn you, though. Grand Moff Kilran is never going to forget what we've done. He'll stop at nothing to get his revenge.
Barsen'thor
Thanks for the warning. Sounds like we'd better keep our guard up from now on.
Vyn Asara
That would be wise. There's nothing Kilran isn't capable of.
Anyway, enough of that. I'd say it's about time we all relaxed a bit and enjoyed the rest of our trip. Thanks again - and good luck in the future.

Vyn Asara
Excuse me? Yes, could I speak with you for a moment? You're a soldier - Republic Army, right? You're a Jedi, aren't you?. And Captain, some passengers from Ord Mantell mentioned your reputation as a first-rate pilot.
I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you've been contacted by any of the ship's officers.
Meteor
I have not been contacted by any of the ship's personnel. Is there a situation?
Vyn Asara
Captain?
Voidhound
I don't normally do civilian transport, but I could definitely get this hunk of metal to Coruscant faster.
Vyn Asara
No, no. I'm sorry, that isn't quite what I meant. Masters?
Hero of Tython
I haven't spoken to any members of the crew. But anyone who needs the help of a Jedi will have it.
Barsen'thor
No member of the ship's crew has sought me out. Should they have?
Vyn Asara
I overheard some passengers talking. You've got quite a reputation. Has the ship's crew spoken to you at all?
Barsen'thor
I sense great concern. Why don't you tell us what's wrong?
Vyn Asara
I heard a rumor that there's an Imperial warship following us. I know, I know- the Treaty of Coruscant. But I don't trust the Empire to keep the peace.
It's hard not to be a little afraid - knowing what the Empire was capable of back in the war.
Voidhound
Hey, there's nothing wrong with looking over your shoulder every once in a while.
Meteor
The Imps will always be a threat - no treaty is going to change that.
Vyn Asara
It's good to hear I'm not the only one concerned about the Imperials. I just thought that the ship's crew is more likely to talk to someone like you if there's trouble.
Meteor
Telling the passengers that Imperials are nearby would only cause a panic.
Vyn Asara
I suppose. Still, I think it's unsettling to think that there might be Imperials behind us.

Vyn Asara
Can you hear me? Are you alright? Good, good. That was quite a hit, we're lucky not to be hurt.
Meteor
The Imperials seem to have forgotten about the treaty....
Vyn Asara
I knew the treaty would break eventually, but I didn't think I'd actually be here to see it.
Listen- you have to get to the bridge. The captain will need all of the help he can get right now- go, hurry!
Meteor
Let's just hope it's not too late to help. We should head for the bridge and see if there's any way we can lend a hand.
Vyn Asara
It's never too late to try. With your skills, I'm sure you could make a difference. Good luck.

Commander Narlock
Hah! Victory! We've done it, men, we've done it! The ship is saved!
Vyn Asara
I'm sorry, Commander, but that... that isn't the case.
Meteor
We defeated the entire boarding party - nobody could've slipped past us.
Vyn Asara
No, you're right - it's not you the Imperials slipped past.
Voidhound
You're Ambassador Asara? That Imperial said that you're the one they were sent to capture.
Vyn Asara
Listen, that's not important right now - we have a serious problem. First Officer Haken walked us right into a trap. The attack on this air lock was a ruse.
After Haken sent you here, Imperial commandos snuck aboard, they were led by a Mandalorian mercenary called "Ironfist." The Mandalorians work for the Empire - they're some of the best warriors in the galaxy. And Ironfist is one of the most famous.
It gets worse, I'm afraid. Ironfist and his Imperial commandos stormed the bridge, and now the entire area is locked down tight. That's why I rushed to find you. We have to do something - we have to act fast.
Voidhoud
How did you learn about all of this?
Vyn Asara
I watched the whole thing happen on the security cams.
Commander Narlock
Look, what is this all about? Why are the Imperials so desperate to capture you?
Vyn Asara
Because of my work. I'm a Republic ambassador. I travel to Imperial-controlled planets and convince their governments to come over to our side.
Barsen'thor
Turning potential enemies into friends spares us unnecessary conflicts.
Vyn Asara
Not all battles can be avoided, but diplomacy can gain us so much more than fighting.
Voidhound
Talk about running dangerous cargo. Who gets you in and out of these places?
Vyn Asara
I slip in on passenger ships like this one and blend in. But we can talk about my work later.
Commander Narlock
We need to retake the bridge. The longer we leave the Imperials in control, the harder it will be to remove them.
Vyn Asara
I already told you, Ironfist has the bridge locked down. There's no way in or out.
Commander Narlock
A security lockdown... that is bad. Chief Engineer Salen might know of a workaround.
Meteor
Hopefully we can get to Salen before the Imperials. Do you know where he is?
Dol Narlock
He and his team will be down in the engineering section. I'm sure they'll be able to help us.
Vyn Asara
We'll need a diversion. If the Imperials notice the hatches to engineering opening, they'll flood the area with soldiers.
Dol Narlock
My men and I can handle that. Form up, men! We're going to go start some trouble!
Meteor
Let's get that bridge open!
Dol Narlock
We'll give those Imps something to think about, won't we, boys?
Vyn Asara
It's a lot to ask of you, I know. But we have to get the bridge open. I'll go along with Commander Narlock. Once you've cleared a path to engineering, I'll double-back and join up with you there. Good luck.

Vepp
Hey! Hey, Chief, come here! Look, there's someone out there, on the other side of the door!
Salen
You must be crazy, coming all the way down here with the Imps everywhere.
Meteor
Commander Narlock said that you might know of a way to unlock the bridge. The Imperials have it sealed off.
Salen
The Imps pulled the lockdown? You've got to be kidding me.
Vyn Asara
You really cleared this place out. I didn't run into a single Imperial on my way down here. Listen- there's no time to waste. Commander Narlock and his men are being overrun - we have to get the bridge unlocked now.
Salen
So I've heard. I'd invite you in, but the lockdown has our doors sealed, too.
Hero of Tython
Are you going to be safe in there? Do you need help getting out?
Salen
Getting the bridge back in our control is much more important. Now let's see...
Vepp
What about a reactor reset? That would disengage the security locks, wouldn't it, sir?
Salen
Yeah, but a reactor reset vents the engineering compartment - we'd be blown into space. Besides, controls are on the other side of the door.
Voidhound
What else could we do to open up the bridge?
Salen
The secondary conduits. They're spread around a bit, but if you shut them all down, the security will go down, too. Then we'll be in business.
Meteor
We'll get the conduits shut down right away.
Vyn Asara
There's no time to go running all over the ship. If we don't act now, the Imperials will overwhelm us. I'm sorry, Salen. We need to unlock the bridge while we have the chance. We have to reset the reactor. You and your men will be remembered.
Barsen'thor
We can't send these people to their deaths! Not when there's an alternative!
Vyn Asara
Fine. But you're dooming everyone on this ship. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.
Hero of Tython
We're trying to save the people on this ship, not kill them.
Vyn Asara
Fine. Who am I to argue?
Salen
Crazy witch! Shutting down the secondary conduits will work, I promise.
Vyn Asara
If you're going to do it, go now. The longer you wait, the more Imperials you'll have after you.

Vyn Asara
I don't know how you managed it, but you did. The security doors around the bridge have opened.
Meteor
The bridge is open, and no innocent lives had to be sacrificed to do it.
Vyn Asara
You were right- I'm sorry. Please understand, I didn't want to kill anyone, I just... it seemed like the only way to be sure.
I'll go and help Narlock with another diversion. So you have as little resistance as possible when you attack the bridge.
You'll still have to deal with Ironfist, though. And that's no small challenge.
Voidhound
What do you know about Ironfist?
Vyn Asara
I only know Ironfist by reputation, but he's been doing Grand Moff Kilran's dirty work for a long time now.
He's never been captured, defeated or even driven back. You have your work cut out for you.
Meteor
They didn't just train me to do the easy jobs, ma'am.
Voidhound
So if Ironfist goes down, I become famous. Works for me.
Vyn Asara
I'm not sure if fame should be the first thing on your mind at a time like this.
Just be careful. Mandalorians always have a few tricks up their sleeves.
All right, no more time to waste. Narlock, are you there? Can you hear me?
Dol Narlock
Copy, this is Narlock! Set for second offensive?
Vyn Asara
That's right, Commander. I'm on my way to join you now.

Vyn Asara
First Officer Haken, do you have any spare shuttles in the hangar bay?
Haken
Spare shuttles? Yes, we do, but I don't-
Vyn Asara
Then that's our only chance. You have to board Grand Moff Kilran's ship and disable the tractor beam so that we can all escape.
Meteor
Why not? We've been fighting insane odds all along. No sense stopping now.
Voidhound
I'm in. A bit of fancy flying followed by some daring heroics? You've come to the right person.
Vyn Asara
I knew we could count on you.
I've been aboard warships like Kilran's. The tractor beam controls should be easy to find, if you know where you're going.
Haken
Ambassador, you're familiar with the layout, perhaps you should go along to help get the tractor beam shut down.
Vyn Asara
Hmm. We need every advantage we can get.
Meteor
Sounds like a plan. It will be good to have you along, Ambassador.
Vyn Asara
I'll do my best to help in any way I can.
Dol Narlock
Ambassador, before you go - take a spare uniform. We wouldn't want any Imperials to recognize you.
Vyn Asara
Good thinking, Commander - thank you. Now let's get moving.
Haken
Good luck out there. We're all counting on you.

Vyn Asara
Come on! Get onto the shuttles, we have to hurry! If we launch fast enough, I think we can make it. Are you ready?
Meteor
We need to talk, Asara. First Officer Haken doesn't want you to come back from this one, Ambassador. He thinks you'll just cause more trouble.
Vyn Asara
Is this a joke? That spineless, indecisive... he wants you to hand me over to the Imperials?
Unbelievable. After everything I've done to save this ship. Everything I've done for the Republic. That scum tries to betray me to the Empire.
Wait. You didn't actually agree to leave me behind, did you?
Barsen'thor
We wouldn't leave you behind to die, Asara.
Vyn Asara
Good. I was about to... well, it doesn't matter. Come on, we've wasted too much time here already. Let's go!

Summary

"Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good."
- Ambassador Vyn Asara

Vyn Asara was a female Rutian Twi'lek

Twi'lek
Sentient Species

who lived during the Cold War. She worked her way up through the Galactic Republic's diplomatic circles, eventually becoming an ambassador to the Sith Empire.
Her true purpose was to sow the seeds of doubt among government officials, pushing them towards the Republic. She often traveled secretly from planet to planet to avoid the unwanted attention of the Empire, because such trips were not part of her normal duties as an ambassador, slipping on passenger ships and blending in with the others.
The Imperials became aware of her deeds and Asara was designated a terrorist and seditionist by the Sith. Her work earned the personal ire of Grand Moff Rycus Kilran
