    Dialog transcript
    Aric Jorgan
    I reviewed your service record before that ZR-57 op. Been meaning to discuss it with you.
    Says you've been fighting the Empire since you were old enough to hold a blaster. Ran quite the underground resistance.
    You made quite an impression at the Academy: accelerated training programs, instructor recommendations. Graduated top of your class. Heck of a transcript, but a classroom's no substitute for field experience.
    Then you served in the Outer Rim. Knew a lot of good men who fought out there. Heard it was brutal. Warfare like that can change a person, make them reckless. Unstable.
    So you can kill Imperials; but a guerilla mentality won't cut it in the big time.
    Meteor
    You saw how I handled things on Ord Mantell. I know what I'm doing.
    Aric Jorgan
    Taking on that sep army single-handedly showed guts, not leadership.
    When I signed on with the Deadeyes, my CO was Lieutenant Vorne - certified war hero, as decorated as they come. When he gave an order, we trusted it, followed it to the letter. A squad needs that kind of commitment to operate effectively.
    Meteor
    You're saying you don't trust me?
    Aric Jorgan
    I'm saying trust requires more than a slick new promotion.
    Havoc Squad is the Republic's most elite outfit. We tackle the missions no one else can handle. Traitor or no, Tavus is a tough act to follow. You think you're up to it?
    Meteor
    I wouldn't be leading Havoc Squad if I didn't.
    Aric Jorgan
    Hmm. Good answer. I'll admit, you've seen and done more than most soldiers your age. You've got confidence, and plenty of raw talent. Maybe you'll pull this off.

    Dialog transcript
    Aric Jorgan
    You think Havoc will start shaping into an actual squad soon?
    Meteor
    You're saying it isn't now?
    Aric Jorgan
    Two people isn't a squad, sir. It's just... two people.
    Once this unit starts growing, people's expectations of us - of you - are only gonna get bigger. That CO post could get real heavy, real quick.
    Meteor
    Someone needs to run Havoc Squad.
    Aric Jorgan
    Commanding a squad is no cakewalk. Nothing worse than having to choose between the success of the mission and the lives of your men. That said, a leader can't be soft on his troops. Coddling your men will only get them killed.
    Meteor
    You've got a point. I'll keep it in mind.
    Aric Jorgan
    I'm sure you'll do fine. You've gotten us this far.

    Dialog transcript
    Ava Jaxo
    Good to see you again, Lieutenant. I was hoping Garza would send you to handle this one.
    Hope you're ready to crack some skulls, because you've really got your work cut out for you on this one.
    Meteor
    Give me a sitrep, Sergeant.
    Let's start with the accommodations. Port Raga is privately owned and officially neutral, but Wraith and her pals have taken over behind the scenes. My boys and I managed to tweak the sensors and keep your landing inconspicuous. But as soon as you step out of this hangar, it's party time.
    Meteor
    How many are we up against?
    Ava Jaxo
    We couldn't get a solid count without giving ourselves away. Somewhere between "a lot" and "a whole lot" - all Imperial.
    Meteor
    Do you know where Krasul is being held?
    Ava Jaxo
    We do, but there's some bad news on that front. Wraith has Krasul locked up in a hangar at the other end of the station. There's heavy security plus a big bonus: explosives. Not enough "bang" to trash the station, of course, but plenty to ruin your day if you're in that hangar when they blow. Play it careful in there.
    Meteor
    Are you bringing your team in with us, Sergeant?
    Ava Jaxo
    I'd love to, but Garza's orders were pretty clear: Havoc goes in alone. We'll get your back if things go bad, though.
    Meteor
    Havoc Squad, move out!
    Aric Jorgan
    It's about time.
    Ava Jaxo
    See you on the other side, Lieutenant. Good luck.

    Dialog transcript
    Zorin Krasul
    Who the- oh. You. I should've known Garza would try to keep all of this inside her twisted little family. Well, don't just stand there. You know how to defuse bombs, don't you? Wraith said they'll explode if I leave the room. She has a remote detonator, too, so be quick.
    Meteor
    This is how you treat your rescuer?
    Zorin Krasul
    Rescuer. Ha. You aren't here out of the goodness of your heart, you're here because Garza sent you here. Through gritted teeth, I imagine. That traitor was going to force me to go on record saying the Senate officially abandoned Havoc Squad on Ando Prime! They invaded Ando Prime and incited a massive, armed response from the Empire. Do you realize what will happen if this situation goes public? The Senate would be a firestorm - all of our judgments publicly called into question. And General Garza and SpecForce Division would be the first to burn.
    Meteor
    This is the Senate's fault, not SpecForce's!
    Zorin Krasul
    The Senate has done its duty. Garza's recklessness would reignite a war that the Republic cannot win.
    I'll admit, I'd like to see the look on that traitor's face when all of her bombs suddenly shut down. To watch that coward scurry away into the shadows when she realizes that her plans have failed would be priceless!
    Meteor
    Be quiet and let me work. Sir.
    Zorin Krasul
    Just be careful, or we're both dead!
  • Zorin Krasul, Meteor, Aric Jorgan
  • Havoc Squad rescued Zorin Krasul

    Dialog transcript
    Zorin Krasul
    Is it safe, now? Are all of the bombs shut down?
    Meteor
    I don't know about "safe," but the bombs are disabled.
    Zorin Krasul
    You know that's what I meant. I'm not a fool.
    Get on with it, Lieutenant. We've still got to get out of this disgusting place. Go on, lead the way.
  • Meteor, Aric Jorgan, Zorin Krasul
  • Zora departed from Port Raga

    Dialog transcript
    Ava Jaxo
    Well, look what we've got here, boys. Welcome to safety, Senator.
    Zorin Krasul
    Who in blazes are you? Mercenaries? This is ridiculous!
    Ava Jaxo
    Oh, yeah. General Garza hires mercs to rescue Republic Senators all the time.
    Meteor
    These people are SpecForce troops in disguise, sir.
    Zorin Krasul
    Now I almost wish they were mercenaries.
    Ava Jaxo
    So, you rescued our charming friend here, obviously. Nice work. Any luck taking down Wraith?
    Meteor
    Rescuing the Senator tipped her off - she ran for it.
    Ava Jaxo
    We had scopes on that warehouse from every direction- nobody saw Wraith slip out. She must be even better than they say. Wraith must be even better than they say. We were watching every inch of this place - nobody saw her leave.
    Zorin Krasul
    Is someone going to get me on a ship to Coruscant anytime soon?
    Ava Jaxo
    Oh, don't worry, Your Honorable Eminent Senatorness. You're catching a ride with us.
    Meteor
    Thanks for taking care of everything, Sergeant.
    Ava Jaxo
    No problem at all.
    Besides, we're going to have a fun time together, aren't we, Senator?
    Zorin Krasul
    Yes. Delightful.
    Ava Jaxo
    Hey- I know you need to contact Garza and report in, but you should come back by my place on Coruscant sometime soon. We'll have a little victory celebration. What do you say?
    Meteor
    A celebration might not be in the cards right now.
    Ava Jaxo
    If anybody can make it happen, it's you.
    Garza will want to hear from you ASAP, and we've got a ship to catch. Take care of yourself, okay?
    Meteor
    You too, Jaxo.

    Elin Garza
    Ah, Lieutenant. I was just speaking with Sergeant Jaxo. Congratulations. Saving Senator Krasul will certainly help our affairs with the Senate. We needed someone to owe us a favor - well done.
    Meteor
    Thank you, General.
    Elin Garza
    You've accomplished something very important - something beyond even your assignment to hunt down Tavus and the other traitors.
    You're in the field, Lieutenant... you see how far the Empire is reaching. A full attack isn't far off, now. To keep the Empire's forces at bay, we need the Senate's support. We need allies.
    Meteor
    I'm glad I could help out the cause.
    Elin Garza
    Yes, you've done quite well in that regard.
    One thing, Lieutenant, I was disappointed to learn of Wraith's escape. She's capable of causing great turmoil.
    Meteor
    Catching Wraith would have meant leaving Krasul to die.
    Elin Garza
    Then you probably made the best choice. The Senator is certainly more useful alive than dead.
    Now - our technicians have decoded the first two sets of data from the Coruscant relay. Your first two targets are on Taris and Nar Shaddaa.
    Meteor
    Can you tell me anything beyond the destinations?
    Elin Garza
    Not at this time, I'm afraid. I'll try to collect more intelligence and give you a fuller briefing when you arrive at each location.
    Good luck. Garza out.

sitting on a bomb chair set with an inflated dead-man's switch. As Meteor approached the senator, he rudely ordered the lieutenant to free him.
While examining the situation, the trooper asked the senator about the motivations of Wraith

's inner workings. Asking further about the truth behind the ill-fated mission, the senator further revealed that the mission was conducted illegally, with the previous Havoc Squad invading the planet and engaging Imperial forces without the consent of the Senate.
After concluding the conversation, the trooper discovered that the bomb had three triggers: a weight switch, a remote trigger and an additional gas switch. The lieutenant moved to seal the bulkhead doors then vented the atmosphere in the hangar, modifying the atmospheric pressure in the area and thus disabling the gas trigger. After the procedure, the trooper raced to the senator's chair and defused the last two triggers with ease. With the senator freed, Havoc Squad escorted the senator to the hangar where Sergeant Jaxo and her team were waiting.
Before leaving, Jaxo had a short conversation with the commanding officer about how Wraith managed to slip past them even when they had eyes on the whole station, giving credence to the ex-Havoc member's skill in infiltration. Given the recent successes of the trooper, Jaxo invited the trooper to her place on Coruscant to celebrate. Upon reaching Havoc's starship, the trooper immediately reported to General Garza. Content with the trooper's report, Garza told the lieutenant that technicians collected new possible locations from the relay recovered during Havoc's previous mission on Coruscant. From the records, Garza surmised that the renegade troopers were operating on Taris
