    Meropta
    If you're here from Republic Command, don't worry, we got the message. It's too dangerous. And if you're from the union, same thing. None of my men are working as long as those tremor maws are in the lake.
    Meteor
    I don't know what a tremor maw is, but it doesn't sound good.
    Meropta
    Swamp lizards the size of a speeder. We tried to build a pipeline to the lake. You try and get the colonists a little fresh water and what happens? Deaths, dismemberments and your project shut down. Some colonies and survey camps are running out of fresh water, so we were building a pipeline from the north lake down to them. But the machinery attracted tremor maws. One minute we're enjoying the scenery, and the next, screaming and death and the project shut down. We exploded a few demolition charges to scare the maws off, but it just makes them want to fight. Our blasts were more like bait.
    Meteor
    The Republic outpost has soldiers. Can they spare a few to kill these things?
    Meropta
    You'd think, but they're the ones who told us to wait. They're exploring options. Flying water in, filters, moisture vaporators, it's nonsense. The pipeline's our only long-term bet. Everything else, colonists can't afford. They'll start deserting soon. No money, no colony. It's frustrating because the charges were already laid. You could flush out every tremor maw in that lake if you wanted. What I wouldn't give for someone to just shoot those lizards. It's not like we ever removed the bait.
    Hero of Tython
    This colony won't fail on our watch. We'll let you put down that pipe safely.
    Meropta
    The demolition charges are in the lake. Set them to go and get way, way back. The blast will be big. Obviously, when you key them in to blow, don't walk - run out of the blast radius. That stuff is construction-grade detonite. Then get ready for the fight of your life. Maws can bite through a gripper crane, let alone humanoids like us.

    Meropta
    The lake team said they heard you at work. Given the size of those blasts, I'm surprised we didn't down here. Any problems detonating those bombs?
    Voidhound
    No trouble. It's more fun than trying to defuse them.
    Meropta
    I wouldn't know. Sounds like your life is a bit more exciting than mine. But there's good news. I told the Republic the swamp is clear, and they instantly gave the go. No more bureaucratic boondoggle. Now, we'll double-time it until the pipeline is done. Those colonists are going to feel a lot better when they can afford to shower.
