    Nelex
    This is crazy. We'd have noticed any unusual activity from Master Tykan, but the Council says we- Ah, here they are. I'm Captain Nelex, Republic Expeditionary Forces.
    Barsen'thor
    I haven't encountered the Expeditionary Forces before. What are your duties on Taris?
    Nelex
    We scout the area, monitor pollution and handle the local wildlife - emphasis on "wild" - with Master Tykan's help. My men will be glad there's another Jedi around, Master Tykan's been a big help.
    Aris Vauranelle
    This has to be a mix-up. My Master is a renowned Kaleesh scout, a truly gifted pathfinder. I- oops, Padawan Aris Vauranelle, at your service.
    Barsen'thor
    You seem quite certain that the Council's mistaken.
    Aris Vauranelle
    No, no, I'd never question the Council. But my Master's just not sick.
    Barsen'thor
    I have to see your Master, Aris. If he's ill, only the Force can heal him.
    Aris Vauranelle
    But that's what we don't understand. Master Tykan isn't ill at all.
    Nelex
    She's right. When the Council called, Master Tykan had just left with a research expedition. If he's gone rogue, it's news to us.
    Barsen'thor
    You should have brought them back the second the Council called you.
    Nelex
    Look, the Council's on Tython, but I see Tykan everyday. Who would you believe?
    Aris Vauranelle
    Regardless, I'm sure Master Tykan will want to meet you. I'll try and reach him.
    Valoy
    Captain! Captain Nelex! We need backup! They're gone, sir, they're all gone! Captain! Can you read me?
    Nelex
    What the-? That's the expedition guardsman - Sergeant Valoy! Where's Tykan?
    Aris Vauranelle
    There must have been an accident. Those ruins are always shifting.
    Barsen'thor
    If Master Tykan's not answering, something must have gone badly wrong.
    Nelex
    I'll get a rescue team scrambled - no, damn, I'll never get them out there in time!
    Barsen'thor
    Take a deep breath, Captain. I'll get those men back safely.
    Nelex
    Yes. Right. Thank you. Meantime, I'll put a team together. Here, take a copy of the expedition's map to guide you. Watch yourself - there's more than pollution in those swamps.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Master Tykan's out in them, too. I hope the Force is watching you both, for Taris's sake.

On their way to the base, Tykan, who was under the control of the Dark Plague, lured the group into a trapfall and set fire to the pollution in the swamp, claiming that he was punishing them for allowing Taris to be destroyed centuries ago

, they rescued everyone they could, but the holocrons were lost in the fire. Edaine was furious that the Jedi chose to save a few lives instead of preserving valuable technology that could have saved millions.
Meanwhile, Tykan reached the Junction, an old purification facility retrofitted by the Republic to process poisonous gases, and began preparing for the next attack.
