Dialog transcript

Security Chief
Welcome to the Junction, Jedi. Sorry, we, uh, didn't have time to clean up. I'm hearing some funny rumors from my guys, about Master Tykan. That why you're here?
Barsen'thor
Quietly. Is there a way to get your crew out of this building quickly?
Security Chief
Could run a fire drill, I guess. Look, what's going on here?
Barsen'thor
Tykan attacked a research party, and made threats against the Junction.
Security Chief
Are you serious? Why would he do that?
Cin Tykan
Here you are. Hiding in tunnels? Hah! I see your eyes shining! They... stop whispering! I am a Jedi! I am! This changes nothing! Such a dark planet, rock spires like fingers, black rock that- wait! The darkness flows from them! It must!
Barsen'thor
Master Tykan? Can you hear me? I've come to heal you of this sickness. Come down and we'll find out together.
Cin Tykan
Heal? Or... hurt? I see the lies in you! Like in the dark place long ago. There was a place where things ended. A dark place of endings. I watched once, in the dark place... Malachor was dark, then bright. I watch his eyes as we run. As Parkanas falls alone.
Barsen'thor
Parkanas, again. Tell me about Parkanas, Master Tykan. What do you remember?
Cin Tykan
Stop it! Stop it! My friend- no, I won't go back there! I'll stop all of you! And your Junction - hoarding poisons like a leech. Yes! I'll free the gasses you've stolen. And the shadows from underground. Your Junction will be dust around you!
Barsen'thor
What would Aris say if she saw you like this, Master Tykan?
Cin Tykan
One was very bright. Yuon? Sidonie? No, that's wrong.
Cin Tykan
What will the Jedi do while the gas builds, hmm? Will it save the workers before they choke and die? But the gas will corrode the Junction, too. How many will die without it to cleanse the planet? Thousands? How many do you want to kill?

Cin Tykan
Too late, Jedi. You wandered too long, too long. But now the reactor will bathe Taris in fire. No black rock. No shadow. The Republic will not spread it! I can cleanse it here, cauterize the flow!
Barsen'thor
Think, Master Tykan. You're killing the planet you've been trying to save.
Cin Tykan
No, fool! No! Weren't you listening? Lord Vivicar promised to guide me. He spoke to the heart of me! Lord Vivicar understands!
Barsen'thor
Destroy that reactor, and everyone you've tried to help on Taris will die. Including your Padawan.
Cin Tykan
My Padawan... my- Lord Vivicar commanded it!
Barsen'thor
Who is this "Lord Vivicar"? Why are you taking orders from him?
Cin Tykan
He is- he commands me. I- I can't-
Barsen'thor
Is... Lord Vivicar in the room with us now, Master Tykan?
Cin Tykan
He is here. And everywhere. He is- he-
Aris Vauranelle
It's alright, Master. I'm here to help you, remember? Master Tykan explained everything. I see the beauty in Taris that the Republic destroyed. His work must continue to save Taris. And we will be together.
Barsen'thor
You know this is wrong. Aris, would a sane Master ask you to hurt innocent people?
Aris Vauranelle
I- I know this isn't pleasant, but it's necessary.
Barsen'thor
My Master suffered too. Believe me, Aris, I understand how this hurts. But your loyalty is blinding you.
Aris Vauranelle
You couldn't understand. Master Tykan has- has shown me the truth.
Barsen'thor
Then explain all this to me. You would devastate an entire planet, just on Tykan's say-so?
Aris Vauranelle
I- I only want the Republic to- no. No. Master, we should find another way.
Barsen'thor
Look at him. Your Master needs help. The Force has given me the ability to heal him.
Aris Vauranelle
But he- Master, perhaps she's right. Perhaps we should reconsider. I don't- what if we just listen to them for a minute, Master, think this over again?
Cin Tykan
What's this? Such brightness in her, and she dares strike against me?
Aris Vauranelle
Never. I will not fight you, Master Tykan, but... you're ill. Let us help you.
Barsen'thor
It's not too late. Step away from the reactor, and I'll take care of the rest.
Cin Tykan
They all turn against me! You brought this darkness here! The purification of Taris will begin with you!

Cin Tykan
Such strength... we were strong once. The weak perish on Taris. I- no! No, please! The darkness comes to swallow me whole!
Barsen'thor
Close your eyes. When you open them, this nightmare will be over.
Cin Tykan
Ahhh!

Barsen'thor
Was given treatment from The Dark Plague by Barsen'thor

Interacted with (dialog)

Dialog transcript

Cin Tykan
The darkness... is gone! I am myself again. You've saved me. At great cost to yourself, I can feel it. I am truly sorry.
Barsen'thor
The shielding technique is a strain, but it was the only way to save you.
Cin Tykan
I owe you a debt I can never repay.
Barsen'thor
While you were ill, you mentioned a "Lord Vivicar." Do you remember?
Cin Tykan
No. I recall the name, but not what it means. I'm sorry.
I will go before the Republic and admit my guilt. Purge myself of this shame. I harmed so many, and almost destroyed my Padawan. I'm not fit to be a Jedi Master.
Barsen'thor
We gain strength through adversity. Enduring the plague will make you stronger.
Aris Vauranelle
And you can pass on that strength to others, Master. And I can give you all the help you need.
Cin Tykan
I must report to Master Syo Bakarn and the Council. There's much to be done. I'm sure Captain Nelex will want to know you are safe. Thank you, again. I... still can't believe the sacrifice you made for me. I only hope your burden does not become too great.
Aris Vauranelle
Thank you for sparing Master Tykan. I doubt Captain Nelex would have been so forgiving. The Republic won't understand. When Master Tykan turns himself in... they'll never forgive him for this.
Barsen'thor
Master Tykan has to accept the consequences of his actions.
Aris Vauranelle
Yes, he taught me that, and now he must live up to it. Whatever happens, you gave him the chance to atone and continue his work. Maybe one day, Taris will be beautiful again. Thank you.

After discovering precious Jedi medical holocrons, Tykan's psychosis set in and he had lured his colleagues into the ruins and set a fire in a pocket of gas leechate. When the Consular arrived, Tykan had fled, but surviving workers were safely retrieved and revealed Tykan's next target: the Junction.
