Dialog transcript Ianna CelHmm. Bad news. The serum you recovered looks like it was effective three hundred years ago, but the rakghoul plague has mutated since then. This serum will only provide effective immunity for extraordinarily healthy individuals.VoidhoundNo one's going to take an unreliable vaccine.Ianna CelYes, but it gives us options. Right now I need what we call a "lucky survivor," whose system has antibodies to the modern plague.MeteorHow do we make it stop modern rakghouls?Ianna CelManufacturing a true vaccine requires what we call a "lucky survivor," someone whose system has made antibodies to the plague. We haven't had a survivor yet, for obvious reasons. But this serum might provide the link we need. If I infected an extraordinary individual protected by the serum, I could collect the antibodies and make an effective vaccine.VoidhoundUh-oh.Ianna CelI need someone with proven recuperative powers. Someone who gets injured almost on a daily basis. Ideally, they would have survived stabbings, shootings, poison, infections... maybe all of the above. Or, barring that, someone with conscious control over their bodily processes. Such as a Jedi.Hero of TythonI am well versed in that art. It should be safer for me than others.VoidhoundI've been shot more often than the family holocamera. This can't be much worse.Barsen'thorDoctor... We don't get a chance to save a billion lives every day. I'm in.Hero of TythonTo immunize every Tarisian for generations to come? To recolonize what the Sith destroyed? There is not one of us who wouldn't lay down our lives.Ianna CelI hoped to convince maybe one of you - but to see more than that is... I'm overwhelmed. Well... and I had this whole speech ready... all right. We have a medical droid, CB-08-4, set up to observe rakghouls in the field. He'll be able to collect the antibodies and slow any potential complications. After I give you the serum, go out there and test it. Let the rakghouls attack you and... see what happens.MeteorGet it over with. Inject us and let's get going.MeteorAre there any other medical facts I should know?Ianna CelUh... sure. You're doing the right thing. Now here's your serum injection.MeteorYou don't have this plague in a needle or something?Ianna CelIf it needs to work in the field, it needs to work in the field. Now, here's your serum injection. I hope the Force is with you, because the science is stretched to the limit. - Meteor, Aric Jorgan, Voidhound, Corso Riggs, Barsen'thor, Qyzen Fess, Hero of Tython, Kira Carsen, T7-O1, Ianna Cel

Dialog transcript CB-08-4Ah, I see your infection is progressing. Hold still, I will take samples for analysis. While I transmit the data to Doctor Cel, there are some questions I should ask. Do you have any of the following symptoms: dizziness, fever, shortness of breath or an inexhaustible hunger for sentient flesh?VoidhoundCan you do anything about these cuts? I'm losing blood, here.CB-08-4I'm sorry, my core function is in analysis, not trauma care. Ah, here's Doctor Cel.Ianna CelGood news. Your antibody count is off the charts. I'll start work on a vaccine immediately. You are remarkably brave. Our progress has just jumped forward by years. While you recuperate, I'm going to transmit the usual secrecy agreements. Just use your thumbprint to sign on the sensor.MeteorWhat do you mean "usual" secrecy agreements?Ianna CelThis is standard procedure when the Republic develops biotech with significant earnings potential. We develop the vaccine for Republic soldiers first, and when it's proven, sell it to colonists. Until then, it's under wraps. We don't want the Exchange or the Sith funding some horrible operation with an underground version. The amount of money we're talking about is staggering. I could make a career out of a vaccine like this.Hero of TythonLives will be lost while this profit is being made.Ianna CelTell me something I don't know. Every week we hear another rakghoul horror story. But every colonist on the planet is going to want this vaccine. How do I tell my superiors we gave up that kind of money?Barsen'thorIf you get a sample to the Jedi, I bet they'd find someone to make it fast.Ianna CelI'll keep that in mind. We'll get this cure out one way or another.VoidhoundAn entire planet succumbed to this plague. Are you a doctor or a patent office?Ianna CelI'm a doctor. And this cure will get made, even if I have to build the manufacturing plant or hand-synthesize every macrophage....CB-08-4Well, I think she's angry. But from past experience, may I say that usually motivates her. If it means anything coming from a droid, congratulations on your research and also, your remarkable survival. - Meteor, Aric Jorgan, Voidhound, Corso Riggs, Barsen'thor, Qyzen Fess, Hero of Tython, Kira Carsen, T7-O1, Ianna Cel, CB-08-4
