    Dialog transcript
    Gilroh
    We just stopped to rest! Geozel found a scratch, and we don't know if it's the rakghoul infection, so we're waiting. And Ferdoin might be coming down with Geonosian swamp flu, but we're on our way, I swear, and- You're looking at me very strangely.
    Hero of Tython
    Are you part of the Outpost Four supply convoy?
    Gilroh
    Um, yes. Private Gilroh. I assumed you were looking for us.
    Voidhound
    What are you expecting me to accuse you of?
    Gilroh
    Nothing! I mean, I know we're late, so people naturally start thinking....
    Voidhound
    Thinking what? That you were dead?
    Gilroh
    Would they care? I'm sorry. I shouldn't- are you even Republic? I don't recognize....
    Barsen'thor
    What are you trying to say?
    Gilroh
    Nothing. There's nothing to tell. I mean- I'm Private Gilroh, Taris Outpost Four. I kind of assumed you were looking for our convoy. We, uh, just stopped to rest. Sorry to trouble everyone.
    Meteor
    You're forty-eight hours late. Have you been here that whole time? Are you afraid of something? Is someone after you?
    Gilroh
    What isn't after us on this awful planet? The nexu, the--the blasted rakghouls! Like I said, Ferdoin was hurt- I mean, Geozel, and- Oh, forget it. I was never a good liar. We aren't going back, is that what you want to hear? We've deserted.
    All I wanted was to serve the Republic, fight Imperials, see new parts of the galaxy. I never asked to be sentenced to this forsaken hole.
    Hero of Tython
    Are conditions so bad you would turn against your every oath of loyalty?
    Gilroh
    I love the Republic, I do, but I've been here five years on a one-year tour. I've sent complaints, talked to psych counselors, nothing.
    Five years we've been out here, no break. Most of our friends have died. We're wounded, tired, broken. Fighting something that can't think, can't be frightened. And if you get the slightest scratch, you become the enemy and your own squad puts you down like a dog!
    Meteor
    How could you do that? What kind of man abandons his comrades in the face of such an enemy?
    Gilroh
    Ha. We're not the only ones talking about running for it. We just got the first chance. You think we didn't agonize about that? If we were fighting the Sith... if our deaths would mean something... there's nothing on Taris!
    Voidhound
    I know army life stinks, but don't they kill you or something if you desert?
    Gilroh
    Prison on Coruscant - which is way better than being stuck here. At least your family can visit!
    Hero of Tython
    You have given the Republic as much as it can reasonably demand.
    Gilroh
    Y- you're not going to turn us in?
    Hero of Tython
    You'll never survive alone out here. You've been through enough.
    Gilroh
    We're heading back near the main base. There are scavengers with ships there. Maybe we can make it offworld. Please, tell Commander Yajak that you found our bodies. That way no one will ever come looking.
    Barsen'thor
    We'll buy you a ticket home. Take this. It should be enough to buy a berth on a smuggler's ship.
    Gilroh
    You... I can't... I mean, we thought we might get a spot with one of the scavengers, but then we heard they kill strangers on sight. This- this would save my life. Maybe I can even get back in time to fix things with my girl.

To Gilroh's surprise, instead of turning them in, the operatoves gave Gilroh enough credits to buy a spot on a smuggler's ship. Gilroh thanked them and told them that he planned to find his girlfriend and try to fix things between them. The operatives would inform Gilroh's superior Commander Yajak
