    Dialog transcript
    Risha Drayen
    Hope you got that vault's location. I eavesdropped on Skavak and some mercenaries over an encrypted comm channel. Skavak's not on Taris - just his mercenaries. They're trying to beat us to the vault. Sounds like they're closing in.
    Voidhound
    Beryl says the vault is buried in a place called "Zone Zero."
    Risha Drayen
    Then we're not sunk yet. Unlike us, the mercenaries don't have the vault's exact coordinates. From what I overheard, Skavak's men aren't having much luck in their search for the vault. Something out there is eating those mercenaries alive. Literally.
    Voidhound
    For once, I'm glad Taris is a death trap.
    Risha Drayen
    The creatures are slowing the mercenaries down, but not enough. The mercenary leader sounds pretty tough. Get to the vault fast as you can, then open the lock with this Geonosian slicer module. It took me months to trade for this. Don't lose it, understand?
    Voidhound
    If I march all the way to Zone Zero and I'm still locked out of that vault.. you're fired.
    Risha Drayen
    Technology has come a long way since that vault was built. It'll open.
    Voidhound
    Beryl said not to trust you. Your old partner seems to think you'll turn on me.
    Risha Drayen
    She's bitter about something that happened a long time ago. Forget about her.
    Voidhound
    You want me to trust you? Tell me what happened with Beryl.
    Risha Drayen
    You really want to do this now? Fine. A few years ago, Beryl and I robbed an Imperial treasury station. The heist went bad. I escaped, Beryl didn't. She blames me for not rescuing her from the Imperials. I was saving my own skin. I don't apologize for that.
    Voidhound
    How'd Beryl escape the Empire?
    Risha Drayen
    She didn't. The Imperials sold her to a Hutt and she escaped from him. Wasn't pleasant, from what I hear. Regardless, I don't work with walking liabilities, anymore. That's why I'm with you. Let's get what we came for and haul jets off this lousy planet, all right?

    Soganti
    Remember me? Agent Soganti with the Republic Customs Office. I have some questions about Beryl Thorne.
    Voidhound
    I'm busy right now.
    Soganti
    This won't take long, and it's not a request. I suspect Thorne is smuggling relics, and I think I know how she's doing it. What I lack is proof. I need someone to step forward and testify so I can arrest her. I'm looking for an honest citizen, Captain.
    Voidhound
    If I see one, I'll let you know.
    Soganti
    That's funny. Really.
    Voidhound
    Beryl's a good person. She's not doing anything wrong.
    Soganti
    If I catch you covering for her... well, let's not consider the ugly implications. I'm authorized to pay a generous sum for any lead resulting in an arrest. Think about what's best for you. Are you absolutely sure you don't know anything about Beryl Thorne's criminal activities?
    Voidhound
    Tyrodall is the real smuggler, Agent Soganti.
    Soganti
    Thorne's partner? What do you have to back up that accusation?
    Voidhound
    I saw Tyrodall running with a bunch of scavengers. They were stealing Republic supplies.
    Soganti
    I heard the scavengers were raiding our excavation. And that Devaronian's alleged "death" always seemed a little convenient.... Sounds like I might be wrong about Thorne. Unfortunately, I may never be able to verify your story. I'm afraid that means no reward.
    Voidhound
    But think of all the time and money you'll save by not chasing the wrong people.
    Soganti
    Fair point. I'll transfer some credits to you from my discretionary account. Buy yourself a drink on me. Goodbye, Captain. Let's go, men.

    Beryl Thorne
    Didn't expect to see you again. What's the occasion, Captain?
    Voidhound
    Republic Customs is onto you. I kept them off your back - for now.
    Beryl Thorne
    You didn't have to come warn me, but you did. Where I come from, the best friends are the ones who lie for you. Guess you're a better friend than I thought.
    Voidhound
    Glad you finally see I'm not your enemy.
    Beryl Thorne
    Me too, and I won't forget it. Been a while since anyone stood up for me. Feels like I'm always on my own.
    Argo (AR-G0)
    What am I, Mistress Beryl? Spare parts?
    Beryl Thorne
    Pipe down, Argo. The captain knows what I mean. Right?
    Voidhound
    We're just friends, right?
    Beryl Thorne
    Sure, of course. What did you think I meant? Because I didn't mean that. I want you to have this. Saved me more times than I can count. Hope it does the same for you.
    Voidhound
    I'm glad we're parting as friends.
    Beryl Thorne
    Risha doesn't deserve a partner like you. Watch your back, all right? I'll get off Taris while the getting's good. I know Argo's ready.
    Argo (AR-G0)
    You have no idea, Mistress Beryl.
    Beryl Thorne
    Thanks for everything, Captain.

    Corso Riggs
    Beryl needs to clear out of here. That agent won't give up.
    Voidhound
    I don't want Beryl getting caught.
    Corso Riggs
    Me neither. She's one of the good guys. We should drop by her place on our way to Zone Zero. It's the least we can do.

    Roksur
    What the- ? Who the- ? How'd you- ?
    Voidhound
    Not big on completing sentences, are you?
    Roksur
    You're just- I can't believe- you're not supposed to be here!
    Voidhound
    Let me guess, you're Skavak's mercenaries? You are one ugly pile of scrap, aren't you?
    Roksur
    How do you- we're supposed to be- never mind how you know! How dare- what do you- this is first-rate battle armor! We've been through ten kinds of pain getting to this vault. And not to watch you open it first. Skavak, you there? You want to see this, boss. We're at the vault, but we're not alone.
    Skavak
    Too perfect. I love it when everything comes together like this. How's life treating you, Captain? You enjoying my ship and all my stuff? What about that two-faced Risha?
    Voidhound
    I'm having the time of my life. She says "hello." We're doing great, thanks.
    Skavak
    Aw, too bad it's over now. Still owe you for that mess on Coruscant. You have any idea the grief I'm taking? I could kill everybody who cracks a joke, but that's a lot of work. So, why don't you just die, already?
    Voidhound
    Stop taking yourself so seriously.
    Skavak
    A man's reputation is everything. If I don't take myself seriously, who will? Roksur, I want you and the boys to spare no effort killing my friend. Make it as painful as possible.
    Roksur
    You heard the boss! Fry this fool!

  • Voidhound's Followers killed 2 Skavak's Mercs
  • Voidhound's Followers killed Roksur
  • Voidhound used Geonosian Slicer Module to open the vault doors
  • Voidhound acquired DP1 Datapad, containing Astrogation Charts
  • Characters interacted with each other (dialog)
    Dialog transcript
    Risha Drayen
    You got the astrogation chart, didn't you? I can tell by the look on your face.
    Voidhound
    Did you ever doubt me?
    Risha Drayen
    If I did, you've just made me a believer for life. You're holding a piece of underworld history. That astrogation chart belonged to an Exchange gangster named Davik Kang. Davik personally mapped dozens of hyperlanes between the Core and Outer Rim systems. He found shortcuts and hideouts all over the galaxy. He was the last great leader of the Exchange crime syndicate, and the unofficial ruler of Taris.
    Voidhound
    How does this chart help us find Nok Drayen's riches?
    Risha Drayen
    Patience. Good things come to those who trust their partners. Have you studied much galactic history, Captain? Interesting patterns emerge, if you pay attention. Davik Kang's criminal empire ended when this planet was destroyed. Nok Drayen's empire was born when he destroyed a planet.
    Voidhound
    Nok Drayen destroyed a whole planet?
    Risha Drayen
    Technically, it was only a single settlement. Once upon a time, there was a pirate haven on the Outer Rim called Mandellia. Thousands of criminals lived there. One bright morning, Nok Drayen's freighter dropped out of hyperspace over Mandellia. He demanded the pirates surrender to him or die.
    Voidhound
    What did Nok want with the pirates?
    Risha Drayen
    These pirates were successful pirates. They'd acquired a lot of wealth, and Nok decided he wanted it. They weren't afraid of a lone, lightly armed freighter. The pirates figured Nok was delusional and refused to surrender. Big mistake. When the pirates sent their reply, Nok launched a single rocket at their settlement. The warhead was tipped with an Imperial nerve toxin. The entire settlement died in less than a minute. Ten thousand greedy pirates, give or take.
    Voidhound
    Where did Nok get an Imperial warhead?
    Risha Drayen
    He stole it, of course. He'd been looking for a way to take down Mandellia in one shot, and that was the perfect solution. That day at Mandellia, Nok Drayen went from being a low-rent smuggler to one of the richest criminals in the galaxy. Anyway, that's how the legend goes. I should probably let you get back to work.
    Voidhound
    Is there a plan to use that astrogation chart?
    Risha Drayen
    I'll upload these coordinates into your navicomputer. It'll take a while, though. I don't recognize some of these stars. At any rate, I'm ready to leave Taris. I'm sure we can find someplace more interesting to be.
    Voidhound
    You've got a bad case of wanderlust, Risha. I still have business here.
    Risha Drayen
    Hey, it's one of my best qualities. Please don't take too long. The smell of Taris is getting into all of my clothes.

    From "Rona"
    Corso Riggs
    I never like asking for favors, Captain. But I think maybe we know each other well enough by now. I want to look for my cousin Rona. She's all the family I got left, and I think she should know what happened.
    Voidhound
    You can ask me for anything. Never worry about favors, Corso. You're part of my crew.
    Corso Riggs
    Thank you, Captain. Rona came with me when I left for the brigade, but she jumped ship at the first port. All she ever wanted was to get off Ord Mantell. I thought maybe we could track her down. You'd like her. She's really the reason I'm here.
    Voidhound
    You two will be back together before you can say "a vrblther's vibroblade."
    Corso Riggs
    A vrblth... vrblth... so, not that soon, then? corso_riggs: Rona was kind of our family rebel. We used to have a blast together. She liked me to run interference so her father never caught her on dates with offworlders. I remember one time, uncle came looking for Rona while she was on the shuttle pod with some Agamarian pirate. I was about twelve. I didn't know how else to distract uncle, so I started a fight. Got the whole ship confiscated. I never did find out how Rona got out of city jail....
