    Nelex
    Damn. These records have those rakghoul tunnels all plotted out. Tykan knew exactly how to hit us.
    Qyzen Fess
    Is wise to know the territory before hunt begins.
    Nelex
    And--looks like one of Taris's super-reactors is still operational. It's damaged, leaking toxic waste into the ecosystem. From these readouts, it would only take a little push to send the reactor into total meltdown. And Tykan copied every file on its processes.
    Barsen'thor
    If the super-reactor went into meltdown, what kind of damage could it cause? Please tell me this super-reactor is a thousand kilometers out in the middle of nowhere.
    Nelex
    Sorry. But it's in the middle of reclaimed territory. If the reactor blows, we're looking at a chemical detonation that could take out the Republic's entire occupied area on Taris. Tykan's access code is all over these records. This isn't some vendetta, Jedi, this is genocide!
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan's actions are an affront to the Force. He has to be stopped.
    Nelex
    Stopped? If you get the chance, take him down! Here's the super-reactor's coordinates. Please, let me know once you've handled Tykan - my men deserve to be told. And remember, Tykan's still holding his Padawan hostage. Watch your back.

    Cin Tykan
    Too late, Jedi. You wandered too long, too long. But now the reactor will bathe Taris in fire. No black rock. No shadow. The Republic will not spread it! I can cleanse it here, cauterize the flow!
    Barsen'thor
    Think, Master Tykan. You're killing the planet you've been trying to save.
    Cin Tykan
    No, fool! No! Weren't you listening? Lord Vivicar promised to guide me. He spoke to the heart of me! Lord Vivicar understands!
    Barsen'thor
    Destroy that reactor, and everyone you've tried to help on Taris will die. Including your Padawan.
    Cin Tykan
    My Padawan... my- Lord Vivicar commanded it!
    Barsen'thor
    Who is this "Lord Vivicar"? Why are you taking orders from him?
    Cin Tykan
    He is- he commands me. I- I can't-
    Barsen'thor
    Is... Lord Vivicar in the room with us now, Master Tykan?
    Cin Tykan
    He is here. And everywhere. He is- he-
    Aris Vauranelle
    It's alright, Master. I'm here to help you, remember? Master Tykan explained everything. I see the beauty in Taris that the Republic destroyed. His work must continue to save Taris. And we will be together.
    Barsen'thor
    You know this is wrong. Aris, would a sane Master ask you to hurt innocent people?
    Aris Vauranelle
    I- I know this isn't pleasant, but it's necessary.
    Barsen'thor
    My Master suffered too. Believe me, Aris, I understand how this hurts. But your loyalty is blinding you.
    Aris Vauranelle
    You couldn't understand. Master Tykan has- has shown me the truth.
    Barsen'thor
    Then explain all this to me. You would devastate an entire planet, just on Tykan's say-so?
    Aris Vauranelle
    I- I only want the Republic to- no. No. Master, we should find another way.
    Barsen'thor
    Look at him. Your Master needs help. The Force has given me the ability to heal him.
    Aris Vauranelle
    But he- Master, perhaps she's right. Perhaps we should reconsider. I don't- what if we just listen to them for a minute, Master, think this over again?
    Cin Tykan
    What's this? Such brightness in her, and she dares strike against me?
    Aris Vauranelle
    Never. I will not fight you, Master Tykan, but... you're ill. Let us help you.
    Barsen'thor
    It's not too late. Step away from the reactor, and I'll take care of the rest.
    Cin Tykan
    They all turn against me! You brought this darkness here! The purification of Taris will begin with you!

    Cin Tykan
    Such strength... we were strong once. The weak perish on Taris. I- no! No, please! The darkness comes to swallow me whole!
    Barsen'thor
    Close your eyes. When you open them, this nightmare will be over.
    Cin Tykan
    Ahhh!

    Cin Tykan
    The darkness... is gone! I am myself again. You've saved me. At great cost to yourself, I can feel it. I am truly sorry.
    Barsen'thor
    The shielding technique is a strain, but it was the only way to save you.
    Cin Tykan
    I owe you a debt I can never repay.
    Barsen'thor
    While you were ill, you mentioned a "Lord Vivicar." Do you remember?
    Cin Tykan
    No. I recall the name, but not what it means. I'm sorry.
    I will go before the Republic and admit my guilt. Purge myself of this shame. I harmed so many, and almost destroyed my Padawan. I'm not fit to be a Jedi Master.
    Barsen'thor
    We gain strength through adversity. Enduring the plague will make you stronger.
    Aris Vauranelle
    And you can pass on that strength to others, Master. And I can give you all the help you need.
    Cin Tykan
    I must report to Master Syo Bakarn and the Council. There's much to be done. I'm sure Captain Nelex will want to know you are safe. Thank you, again. I... still can't believe the sacrifice you made for me. I only hope your burden does not become too great.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Thank you for sparing Master Tykan. I doubt Captain Nelex would have been so forgiving. The Republic won't understand. When Master Tykan turns himself in... they'll never forgive him for this.
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan has to accept the consequences of his actions.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Yes, he taught me that, and now he must live up to it. Whatever happens, you gave him the chance to atone and continue his work. Maybe one day, Taris will be beautiful again. Thank you.

    Nelex
    I was watching the reactor readouts. We live to fight another day, thanks to you. So, is Tykan dead?
    Barsen'thor
    Jedi aren't murderers. Master Tykan has been freed from his illness. I've ensured Master Tykan won't hurt anyone else. He's on his way back to Tython.
    Nelex
    What? Are you sick in the head, too? How could you let him go after what he did?
    Barsen'thor
    Only a living man can truly atone for what he's done. Don't Republic soldiers swear to defend the innocent? Tykan is a victim, as much as your men were.
    Nelex
    Oh great, Jedi wisdom. The difference being, Tykan's still breathing. I got Aris's checkpoint signal. You're careful about keeping your own people alive, I see.
    Oh. While you were gone, Master Syo Bakarn contacted me. He's waiting to hear from you.
    Barsen'thor
    I'll contact him at once. Keep up the good work, Captain.
    Nelex
    Don't take your eye off Tykan. You let him live, you're responsible for whatever he does next.

    Conversation over comlinks
    Syo Bakarn
    Master Tykan has already contacted me. A team is on its way to bring him before the Republic courts.
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan deserves an advocate. None of this was his fault. I can't imagine a punishment worse than what Master Tykan's endured already.
    Syo Bakarn
    Neither can I. Still, the Republic must seek justice for the deaths on Taris, but unfortunately we cannot let word of the plague become public. Master Tykan asked me to pass on his gratitude. We all appreciate the sacrifice your shielding technique requires. You've endured much on Taris, but I have an urgent matter that requires your attention.
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan was being compelled by someone he called "Lord Vivicar."
    Syo Bakarn
    Lord Vivicar. I don't recognize the name. We must begin researching this at once. Unfortunately our master on Nar Shaddaa is still missing. If "Lord Vivicar" is responsible, you may be our only hope.
  • Barsen'thor, Syo Bakarn
Summary
This event took place shortly before the end of the Cold War on the planet Taris, during the Dark Plague crisis.
With the base secure, Captain Nelex was then able to decrypt the data provided by the Junction security chief. From those files, they discovered that Master Tykan had copied all files pertaining to one of Taris's still functional super-reactors. Sabotaging the reactor could potentially send it into meltdown and trigger a chemical detonation that could destroy the entire Republic reclamation area.
Along with their fellow Republic operatives, the Jedi and Fess went to the reactor's coordinates beneath Transport Station 5, fending off rakghouls and other enemies. Down at the reactor, after fighting their way through hordes of hostile droids, the duo confronted Tykan and Aris Vauranelle, who had been abducted by her Master.
In his delirium, Tykan spoke of a Lord Vivicar, finally revealing the plaguemaster's name. Vauranelle, due to her affection and loyalty for her Master, had come to believe his mad ramblings about the necessity of sabotaging the Republic's reclamation efforts in order to stop their attempts to "destroy the natural beauty" of Taris, but the Consular convinced her to change her mind. The Jedi and Fess were then attacked by the angered Tykan but were able to defeat the Jedi Master. The Consular then used the shielding technique on him, freeing him from Vivicar's influence. Tykan was horrified by the atrocities he had committed and left for Tython to report to the Jedi Council and then to willingly turn himself in to the Republic authorities.
The Jedi contacted Syo Bakarn, informing him of the "Lord Vivicar" Tykan had mentioned, and the Jedi Master promised to start looking into that name
