| From "Gun Philosophy"Corso RiggsSo, how'd you end up out here, Captain? Was there ever a time you wanted something more... normal? A family? A steady job somewhere you didn't need a blaster in-hand?VoidhoundAre you happy here, or would you rather be back raising rontos?Corso RiggsI've just been thinking about a guy I met on Clak'dor Seven, when I was in the brigade. Mercenary. He'd been fighting for the Republic for twenty years. I was sixteen, fresh off the ship. This guy gave me my first blaster.VoidhoundI thought you country boys grow up shooting.Corso RiggsI mean, sure, I'd handled a hunting rifle, but never anything aimed at people. This guy told me, "Gun's just a tool. You use it to destroy, or you use it to protect against those who would destroy you." So it's not exactly astrophysics, but it made sense to me. You can't protect anything if you're afraid to be out there shooting.VoidhoundAnd you took it to heart.Corso RiggsMade me think different about guns. You can't protect the people you love if you're afraid to get your hands dirty. I brought Torchy home, and my parents made me lock her up. Told me not to "wish away peace." I didn't have her when the separatists came. |

| From "Happier Times"Corso RiggsCaptain, life with you is almost enough to get me missing the good old days. Ah, for Ord Mantell. Where separatists were bad and guns were good, and we could just run in shooting.VoidhoundAre you drunk?Corso RiggsJust tipsy. I could still bullseye an Imperial soldier at a thousand paces. Back home, when we needed a laugh, we used to run the rontos in circles, then see if they could charge us without falling over.VoidhoundGood night, Corso...Corso RiggsMaybe I should go lie down... |

| Risha Drayen contacted Beryl Thorne and asked her to help find some ancient vault among the ruins, which required very specific sensory equipment. Beryl knew how to get access to the sensors and reluctantly agreed, on the condition that she not deal with Risha personally due to a bad history between them. In exchange, she asked Risha to help her complete her contract with the Authority. Risha agreed to the terms and promised to send her companions, Voidhound and Corso Riggs, to help Beryl. |

| Risha DrayenAh, Taris. Did you know you've just landed on the biggest graveyard in the galaxy? There's not much to enjoy here besides skeletons, ruins and man-eating creatures.VoidhoundAs long as there's a cantina, I'm happy.Risha DrayenAre all your inoculations up to date? I doubt the watering holes here rate more than a "one" in Trampeta's Star Guide.VoidhoundNervous, little girl?Risha DrayenNot really. I'll be here in a nice cozy bunk. You're the one who has to go out. Taris was "The Coruscant of the Outer Rim" until some lunatic leveled it centuries ago. Now it's a toxic swamp. We're here for an astrogation chart that was in a vault when Taris fell. That vault's somewhere in these ruins.VoidhoundHow do you know the vault still exists?Risha DrayenIt was built to withstand anything short of a supernova.VoidhoundWhat do we need with some musty old astrogation chart?Risha DrayenI worry about the "why" and you take care of the "how." That's our deal, remember? Our lost vault was designed to be recovered after a major catastrophe. All we need are the right sensors to locate it. The catch is, the only person I know with access to those sensors is someone who hates me.VoidhoundWho else has access to the sensors?Risha DrayenWe don't have time to find out, but luckily we don't have to. I made our contact an irresistible offer. One of the deal's terms is that she doesn't have to see me. I need you to get that vault's location, Captain. Impress the stars out of her.VoidhoundPeople always tell me how impressive I am.Risha DrayenThat must be a terrible burden for you. This woman talks tough, but underneath, she's a softie. Use that to your advantage. I should also warn you, Skavak knows about the vault. We can't let him catch up.VoidhoundI'm curious how you know what Skavak's up to.Risha DrayenHe wasted a lot of breath trying to impress me into his bunk. It never worked, but I learned a lot about his plans. The astrogation chart in that vault is essential to finding Nok Drayen's riches, Captain. Your contact's name is Beryl Thorne. When Beryl gives you the vault's location, come back and see me. Oh, and try not to let anything eat you. |

| SogantiI'm Agent Soganti with the Republic Customs Office. What brings you to my planet, Captain?VoidhoundYour planet? Last time I checked, Taris was Republic territory.SogantiWhen you have as many responsibilities as I do, you develop a sense of ownership about a planet. Stow the attitude unless you want me to impound that ship of yours. The Republic Customs Office monitors all starship traffic and ensures no illegal goods are transported on or off this planet. There's a lot of contraband making its way around Taris. If you see anything suspicious, I suggest you report it immediately.VoidhoundWhy so much illegal activity around here?SogantiLots of nice things are still buried in the ruins of old Taris. This planet is one big party for grave robbers and scavengers.VoidhoundHow will I know "suspicious"?SogantiThat's right, you have "solid citizen" written all over you. I take a special interest in every new arrival to my planet, Captain. Keep your nose clean, and we won't have any trouble. Clear?VoidhoundDo you give this speech to everyone?SogantiJust the ones I think need to hear it. Enjoy your visit to Taris. |

| Beryl ThorneArgo, you're leaking oil again. You wanna set this whole warehouse on fire?Argo (AR-G0)The Maker said it is better to burn out than rust away. Perhaps I'm testing that wisdom, Mistress.VoidhoundI'm looking for Beryl Thorne.That's me. Argo's what passes for my second-in-command. I recognize you from Risha's holo. Let's get one thing straight. The only reason I agreed to help is because my contract supplying the Taris reclamation project is at risk. Looked like easy credits. Turns out, Taris is anything but easy, and there are lots of interesting ways to die.VoidhoundAs long as you're breathing, you're still in business.Beryl ThorneSome business. I'm barely covering my own expenses. If I don't finish my contract, I don't get paid. Tyrodall - my partner - died on a supply run. Put me in a real bind. I'll find that vault, but I have to finish my contract to do it. You work for me and I'll work for you. Deal?VoidhoundI wasn't aware this was a negotiation.Beryl ThorneYou can always wander around and hope you bump into the vault by accident. I only have two deliveries left. Soon as you handle them, we'll find your vault. The first job's for a Republic scientist named Vernan. He's got a research camp in rakghoul territory.VoidhoundWhat exactly am I delivering?Beryl ThorneSome kind of sensor equipment. Don't know what it's for.VoidhoundWhat else do you need me to deliver?Beryl ThorneExcavation supplies, but I'm still tracking those down. I'll call your holo when I find them. I'll start working on your job while you handle mine. Isn't cooperation grand? |

| SogantiHello again, Captain. I didn't know you and Thorne were acquainted.Beryl ThorneAgent Soganti, what a lovely surprise. It's only been a day since your last inquisition- I mean, inspection. Don't you Republic Customs boys have better things to do than turn my warehouse upside-down again?SogantiI can inspect this warehouse whenever I want. It's the law.Beryl ThorneTake Doctor Vernan's delivery, Captain. There's no reason for you to stick around.VoidhoundWhy is Republic Customs so interested in you?Beryl ThorneJust between you and me, Soganti's a very lonely man. Poke around the warehouse all you want, agent. You won't find anything out of order.SogantiEhhh... what did I just step in, Thorne?Argo (AR-G0)My apologies, sir. I believe that is my hydraulic fluid... |
