    Nelex
    This is crazy. We'd have noticed any unusual activity from Master Tykan, but the Council says we- Ah, here they are. I'm Captain Nelex, Republic Expeditionary Forces.
    Barsen'thor
    I haven't encountered the Expeditionary Forces before. What are your duties on Taris?
    Nelex
    We scout the area, monitor pollution and handle the local wildlife - emphasis on "wild" - with Master Tykan's help. My men will be glad there's another Jedi around, Master Tykan's been a big help.
    Aris Vauranelle
    This has to be a mix-up. My Master is a renowned Kaleesh scout, a truly gifted pathfinder. I- oops, Padawan Aris Vauranelle, at your service.
    Barsen'thor
    You seem quite certain that the Council's mistaken.
    Aris Vauranelle
    No, no, I'd never question the Council. But my Master's just not sick.
    Barsen'thor
    I have to see your Master, Aris. If he's ill, only the Force can heal him.
    Aris Vauranelle
    But that's what we don't understand. Master Tykan isn't ill at all.
    Nelex
    She's right. When the Council called, Master Tykan had just left with a research expedition. If he's gone rogue, it's news to us.
    Barsen'thor
    You should have brought them back the second the Council called you.
    Nelex
    Look, the Council's on Tython, but I see Tykan everyday. Who would you believe?
    Aris Vauranelle
    Regardless, I'm sure Master Tykan will want to meet you. I'll try and reach him.
    Valoy
    Captain! Captain Nelex! We need backup! They're gone, sir, they're all gone! Captain! Can you read me?
    Nelex
    What the-? That's the expedition guardsman - Sergeant Valoy! Where's Tykan?
    Aris Vauranelle
    There must have been an accident. Those ruins are always shifting.
    Barsen'thor
    If Master Tykan's not answering, something must have gone badly wrong.
    Nelex
    I'll get a rescue team scrambled - no, damn, I'll never get them out there in time!
    Barsen'thor
    Take a deep breath, Captain. I'll get those men back safely.
    Nelex
    Yes. Right. Thank you. Meantime, I'll put a team together. Here, take a copy of the expedition's map to guide you. Watch yourself - there's more than pollution in those swamps.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Master Tykan's out in them, too. I hope the Force is watching you both, for Taris's sake.

    Nelex
    Jedi, we just got a call from the expedition. They said you helped them out, but the rest sounds crazy. Tykan attacking them, a couple of survivors? From a twelve-man team? Tell me that's wrong!
    Barsen'thor
    Unfortunately, most of the expedition is dead. And Master Tykan is responsible. He lured the expedition into a trap, set a fire nearby and ran off.
    Aris Vauranelle
    No! What if he was trying to lead them to safety? They ignored him and wandered off!
    Barsen'thor
    It's only natural to defend your Master, Aris, but a Jedi seeks the truth in all matters. You have my sympathies, Aris. I watched my own Master suffer like this.
    Nelex
    I want him found - found and brought to justice, even if I have to drag him back myself!
    Aris Vauranelle
    No, please! None of this is his fault!
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan needs help. The survivors said he was headed to the Junction.
    Nelex
    Damn him. The Junction's a gas trap full of civilian workers! Keep your eyes open. Tykan used the Junction in his restoration effort. There might be a clue to stopping him there.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Please don't hurt Master Tykan. He's the only one who could save Taris. And... I need him, to explain all this to me.

    Nelex
    Come in, Jedi! Do you read me?
    Barsen'thor
    Good to hear from you, Captain. I might have a lead on Master Tykan.
    Nelex
    Belay that! We've got bigger problems! The base is under attack! Tykan got the jump on us! We need you back here ASAP, we've got-
    Qyzen Fess
    Scorekeeper calls us through the soft one, Herald. Many points ahead, I think.
    Barsen'thor
    I need you to watch my back. Tykan's volatile in the extreme.
    Qyzen Fess
    Kaleesh is great hunter. But his points are not earned well. We must stop this, Herald.
    Barsen'thor
    Good. I like to keep your Scorekeeper busy.
    Qyzen Fess
    You are truly her Herald. Let us honor her in battle.

    Barsen'thor
    Captain Nelex? What happened here?
    Nelex
    Should have known you'd... make it past those things. Tunnels... Tykan must have found rakghoul tunnels under the base. He set those things on my men and... the little Padawan! Aris-Tykan took her! Those things... were swarming all over us! One minute she was helping, the next she was gone!
    Barsen'thor
    Don't worry. Aris is a Padawan, she can defend herself.
    Nelex
    Against a Jedi Master? He's... so far gone. What if he hurts her? Tykan could be anywhere. He knows this planet like the back of his hand.
    All these people, dead... forget a trial! I want Tykan's head for this!
    Barsen'thor
    This isn't Tykan's doing. Not really. He's very sick.
    Nelex
    Now you're making excuses? How can I be calm when my men are- They came here to help this planet. They- And Aris was-
    Wait. The tunnels are still open. You have to seal the tunnel entrances before those things come back. Please, check the base and seal those tunnels. Or the wounded are just... food for the rakghouls.
    Barsen'thor
    Those people are in good hands. See to your injuries, I'll take care of everything.
    Nelex
    Thanks... and hurry.

    Dialog transcript
    Nelex
    Thanks. Now we can treat the wounded without rakghouls pouring in. But Tykan's long gone. Aris, that poor kid... he dragged her out there with him.
    Barsen'thor
    We may be able to find them. The Force is with us. The Junction's security chief gave me this. Can your computers decrypt this datapad?
    Nelex
    What's this? Infrastructure data? Maybe we can corner Tykan after all.

    Dialog transcript
    Nelex
    Damn. These records have those rakghoul tunnels all plotted out. Tykan knew exactly how to hit us.
    Qyzen Fess
    Is wise to know the territory before hunt begins.
    Nelex
    And--looks like one of Taris's super-reactors is still operational. It's damaged, leaking toxic waste into the ecosystem. From these readouts, it would only take a little push to send the reactor into total meltdown. And Tykan copied every file on its processes.
    Barsen'thor
    If the super-reactor went into meltdown, what kind of damage could it cause? Please tell me this super-reactor is a thousand kilometers out in the middle of nowhere.
    Nelex
    Sorry. But it's in the middle of reclaimed territory. If the reactor blows, we're looking at a chemical detonation that could take out the Republic's entire occupied area on Taris. Tykan's access code is all over these records. This isn't some vendetta, Jedi, this is genocide!
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan's actions are an affront to the Force. He has to be stopped.
    Nelex
    Stopped? If you get the chance, take him down! Here's the super-reactor's coordinates. Please, let me know once you've handled Tykan - my men deserve to be told. And remember, Tykan's still holding his Padawan hostage. Watch your back.
  • Barsen'thor, Qyzen Fess
  • Interacted with (dialog)
    Dialog transcript
    Nelex
    I was watching the reactor readouts. We live to fight another day, thanks to you. So, is Tykan dead?
    Barsen'thor
    Jedi aren't murderers. Master Tykan has been freed from his illness. I've ensured Master Tykan won't hurt anyone else. He's on his way back to Tython.
    Nelex
    What? Are you sick in the head, too? How could you let him go after what he did?
    Barsen'thor
    Only a living man can truly atone for what he's done. Don't Republic soldiers swear to defend the innocent? Tykan is a victim, as much as your men were.
    Nelex
    Oh great, Jedi wisdom. The difference being, Tykan's still breathing. I got Aris's checkpoint signal. You're careful about keeping your own people alive, I see.
    Oh. While you were gone, Master Syo Bakarn contacted me. He's waiting to hear from you.
    Barsen'thor
    I'll contact him at once. Keep up the good work, Captain.
    Nelex
    Don't take your eye off Tykan. You let him live, you're responsible for whatever he does next.
