to find him inside Separatists Mannett Point base. The operatives were able to convince him to leave the Separatists as soon as the stimulants wear off. However, he didn't want to return to his parents after what he have done, and the operatives gave him enough credits to leave Ord Mantell. He gave them a ring that his mother gave him when he was young as a sign that he was alive and well, and the operatives returned the ring back to his parents.
