    Security Guard
    Oh, you're here, Master Jedi. I just took a weird call from Captain Nelex over at the Republic base. He said you were coming because some guy was threatening the Junction. Is that right?
    Barsen'thor
    Have you seen Cin Tykan today?
    Security Guard
    Master Tykan? No, I haven't seen him around. So it's true? You'd- Uh, if this is Jedi business, you should talk to the chief. He knows Tykan better than I do.

    Security Chief
    Welcome to the Junction, Jedi. Sorry, we, uh, didn't have time to clean up. I'm hearing some funny rumors from my guys, about Master Tykan. That why you're here?
    Barsen'thor
    Quietly. Is there a way to get your crew out of this building quickly?
    Security Chief
    Could run a fire drill, I guess. Look, what's going on here?
    Barsen'thor
    Tykan attacked a research party, and made threats against the Junction.
    Security Chief
    Are you serious? Why would he do that?
    Cin Tykan
    Here you are. Hiding in tunnels? Hah! I see your eyes shining! They... stop whispering! I am a Jedi! I am! This changes nothing! Such a dark planet, rock spires like fingers, black rock that- wait! The darkness flows from them! It must!
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan? Can you hear me? I've come to heal you of this sickness. Come down and we'll find out together.
    Cin Tykan
    Heal? Or... hurt? I see the lies in you! Like in the dark place long ago. There was a place where things ended. A dark place of endings. I watched once, in the dark place... Malachor was dark, then bright. I watch his eyes as we run. As Parkanas falls alone.
    Barsen'thor
    Parkanas, again. Tell me about Parkanas, Master Tykan. What do you remember?
    Cin Tykan
    Stop it! Stop it! My friend- no, I won't go back there! I'll stop all of you! And your Junction - hoarding poisons like a leech. Yes! I'll free the gasses you've stolen. And the shadows from underground. Your Junction will be dust around you!
    Barsen'thor
    What would Aris say if she saw you like this, Master Tykan?
    Cin Tykan
    One was very bright. Yuon? Sidonie? No, that's wrong.
    Cin Tykan
    What will the Jedi do while the gas builds, hmm? Will it save the workers before they choke and die? But the gas will corrode the Junction, too. How many will die without it to cleanse the planet? Thousands? How many do you want to kill?

    Security Chief
    Uhhh! Can you smell that? That maniac's busted the main gas line!
    Security Guard
    Sir! Rakghouls! Someone's breaking open the vents, rakghouls are pouring in!
    Security Chief
    No! We... we need to focus on evacuating or... save the Junction... I don't know!
    Barsen'thor
    Don't panic. The Junction's workers are relying on us to save them. The Force will aid us, but I need your help. What's our best course of action?
    Security Chief
    I'll evacuate our- wait! I got a crew doing maintenance behind a blast door. They'll be choking on the gas by now! Please, I can't send anyone else back there. You're their only chance. Get them on their feet and out before the rakghouls reach that section. Good luck!
  • Barsen'thor, Qyzen Fess, JSC, JSG
  • Barsen'thor's Followers killed at least 20 Rakghoul
  • Barsen'thor's Followers rescued 5 Junction Workers

    Security Chief
    You're back. And in one piece. Hope you didn't breathe too much of that stuff. We got the whole crew out, thanks to you. Might take months for us to start clearing the pollution again, though. A lot of people are gonna get sick.
    Barsen'thor
    I wish there had been another way, but Tykan didn't give me a choice. Trust in the Force. You and your men will get this place running again.
    Security Chief
    You're damn right. Tykan's the one responsible for this. Maybe we can help you stop him. Here. Before he lost it, Tykan was studying the old Taris infrastructure. These are the records he copied. But the encryption is pretty old. We can't decipher 'em.
    Barsen'thor
    We tend to focus more on languages at the Jedi Temple. Someone around here must be able to decrypt them.
    Security Chief
    Then it's a good thing we've got an alternative. The Republic base's computers should have the original codes; they'll get those records open nice and quick. Give those records to Captain Nelex. He'll set you right.
    Barsen'thor
    What do you think Master Tykan was studying?
    Security Chief
    No idea. But I'd find out fast.

mutants inside. The event forced the Consular to choose to either repair the Junction - which was crucial in cleansing the planet - or to save the factory's workers from the rakghoul attack. The Jedi chose the latter, and the duo successfully evacuated a maintenance crew that had been trapped behind a blast door by using the Force to tear the door open.
After the rest of the staff were evacuated from the areas filled with gas, the security chief thanked the Jedi and Fess and gave them some old Taris infrastructure charts that Tykan had been studying before he fell victim to the plague. The data was encrypted, so the chief adviced the Jedi to bring it to Captain
