Elin GarzaLieutenant. This is General Garza. I see that you've touched down on Nar Shaddaa. Before we begin your briefing, I want to make something clear: The situation on Nar Shaddaa is very delicate. This moon belongs to the Hutt Cartel, who take their neutrality very seriously. The Republic cannot afford any incidents.MeteorWhat exactly should I be avoiding here, sir?Elin GarzaImperial personnel operate just as freely on Nar Shaddaa as we do. You cannot be caught taking action against them. Now, your mission: An experimental Republic war droid has gone rogue, committing a series of seemingly random attacks across Nar Shaddaa. The droid's designation is M1-4X, and it is my belief that this droid is acting under orders from Harron Tavus.MeteorDo we know anything about the war droid's capabilities?Elin GarzaThe droid is a highly advanced prototype, one that was being developed to serve in Havoc Squad. The project was supposed to have been canceled, but it would seem Tavus simply shifted the development elsewhere - most likely his allies in the Sith Empire. Tavus and his followers are experts in covert operations - expertise they learned from us.MeteorWhy wasn't the project completed in the first place?Elin GarzaThe droid's design relied on an exotic alien power source, but our technicians couldn't make it work efficiently.This war droid's rampage must be stopped before it's linked with the Republic. An agent of the Strategic Information Service will be assisting you. Officially, you're providing military support to an SIS operation. Do not divulge Tavus's defection, or the droid's connection to it.MeteorIntelligence Service should know everything we know.Elin GarzaWe deal with our own problems, Lieutenant. The last thing we need is for the SIS to get involved.Elara DorneThe lieutenant is correct, General. Regulation 32-C requires us to share all relevant intelligence.Elin GarzaSpecForce deals with its own problems, Sergeant Dorne. The SIS already knows everything it needs to know.Be careful, Lieutenant. If this war droid is even half as dangerous as its original designers had estimated, you'll have your work cut out for you. Garza out. |
