    Jonkan
    Uhh... Jedi? Thank the stars.
    Kira Carsen
    I don't see a Planet Prison anywhere. That's not good.
    Jonkan
    We've been such fools. Tarnis - he's a Sith!
    Hero of Tython
    I've come to stop him. What happened here?
    Jonkan
    Tarnis tricked us. Said you Jedi were going to shut the project down. Told us to bring the Planet Prison here. Keep it safe. Thought we were saving the Republic. We brought Tarnis the prototype. He turned on us. Killed everyone.
    PLAYER: Tell me how to find him. I need to know where Tarnis went.
    Hero of Tython
    Hang in there. I'll get you to a medical bay.
    Jonkan
    No time. Tarnis has the Planet Prison. He'll use it.
    Prototype creates a massive heat signature when activated. Run a thermal scan. You'll find Tarnis. Planet Prison needs time to build up power. Enough time for you to destroy it. Save Coruscant....
    Kira Carsen
    Poor man. He didn't deserve this. kira_carsen: I'll run a thermal scan from one of these terminals. Come on...

arrived, and Jonkan struggled to tell the Jedi everything that had happened. When the Knight offered to take the scientist to a medcenter, Jonkan refused, saying there was no time, and told the Jedi to track the Planet Prison by its heat signature. Since the weapon needed time to build up power, Jonkan urged the pair to destroy the weapon and save Coruscant.
Thanks to Jonkan, the Knight was able to locate Tarnis and the weapon in the ruins of the Jedi Temple.
