    Vernan
    "Dear Adali, I regret that your husband was killed yesterday by rakghouls. Please accept my condolences. Doctor Soylon was an excellent scientist."
    I've never composed a death notice before. How did that sound? I need an honest opinion, and all my colleagues are deceased.
    Voidhound
    You might try softening the blow a little.
    Vernan
    Really? Adali always impressed me as something of a stoic. Then again, she is a widow now. Hmm....
    Voidhound
    I'm just delivering supplies.
    Vernan
    Ah! I recognize the symbols on that container! My bio-alarms have finally arrived. Good, good. If only this had arrived in time to save my associates. Not your fault, certainly. We knew the risk of studying rakghouls.
    Voidhound
    How did you manage to survive by yourself?
    Vernan
    I do seem to have beaten the odds. Perhaps there's something about me these creatures don't like. The pursuit of knowledge is never without risk. And the greater the risk, the greater the enlightenment. My colleagues and I were studying the rakghouls' behavior hoping to find a means of containing them. We can't afford to let the rakghouls impede our progress. The Republic's rebuilding efforts on Taris are paramount to future prosperity. This was a wonderful planet before the Sith destroyed it. The Republic must rebuild and show that Sith aggression will not stand.
    Voidhound
    You're pretty fearless, for a scientist.
    Vernan
    Fear obstructs understanding. Besides, my prospects for survival have just improved.
    I've isolated an identifying element in the rakghouls' physiology, making it possible to detect and track their movements. The bio-alarms you brought will reveal how the creatures hunt - however, installing them will be a challenge with all my assistants dead.
    Corso Riggs
    "Big-brain" here wouldn't last ten meters outside this camp. Besides, we can always use credits.
    Voidhound
    If you've got the credits, doc, we've got the time.
    Vernan
    Thanks to the rakghouls, I have a budget surplus for staff expenses. You're hired!
    Voidhound
    Consider them installed, doc. How hard can it be?
    Vernan
    Indeed! All that's required are quick feet, basic technical know-how and raw nerve--things I see you possess in abundance. Place a bio-alarm at each survey station we've established, and I'll see you're amply rewarded. Come back when you're done, and we'll celebrate your success. Normally I'd ask for your next of kin's holofrequency, but I'd rather maintain some optimism. Good luck!

    Vernan
    Splendid work! I'm already receiving data transmissions from the bio-alarms. You've done the Republic's rebuilding effort a tremendous favor.
    Voidhound
    It wasn't a favor, remember?
    Vernan
    Oh, come now. Take a moment and give yourself a pat on the back before you dash off with your money. What you've done most definitely calls for generous compensation. Good show! Accept these credits with my extreme gratitude.
    Voidhound
    It seems dangerous to stay out here all alone.
    Vernan
    I'm one hundred percent safer now with the bio-alarms in place. I'll be fine. Soon, we'll know how to contain the rakghouls. From there, eradication of these beasts will quickly follow. I'll begin collating my data. Thank you again for everything.

    Beryl Thorne
    Hey, Captain. How are things out there?
    Voidhound
    Beautiful scenery, great weather, man-eating creatures trying to kill me. You should be here.
    Beryl Thorne
    That's the problem with running your own business. You always miss the good times.
    Voidhound
    That crazy Republic scientist got his gear.
    Beryl Thorne
    Glad to hear it. That's one down, one to go. I finally located the other supplies you need to deliver. They were lost when Tyrodall got killed by the rakghouls. A Republic patrol found the supplies with Tyrodall's remains. Dropped everything off at an outpost near the lake. I suspect they're a little busy hunting down the pirates and scavengers attacking the supply routes.
    Voidhound
    I guess the rakghouls didn't leave much of him behind.
    Beryl Thorne
    Just bloody clothes. The rakghouls turned Tyrodall into one of them. I try not to think about it. All you have to do is swing by the outpost, grab the supplies and take them to an engineer named Ovold. Ovold will give you some planetary core samples to bring back to me. Got it?
    Voidhound
    What do you need with planetary core samples?
    Beryl Thorne
    I have to transport them to Coruscant as part of my contract. It's a science thing.
    Voidhound
    A simple job.
    Beryl Thorne
    Yeah, that's what Tyrodall said. Grab the supplies from the outpost, get them to Ovold and return to me with his core samples. Good luck.

in the eastern part of the Resettlement Zone.
The duo found Dr. Vernan at his camp and handed over the package. Vernan thanked them and asked them to install sensors at the four survey stations in the northern part of the Resettlement Zone, which his colleagues had previously deployed. This was usually the work of his associates, but unfortunately, they were all recently killed
