    Wintag
    Achoo! Excuse me. Something in the air... the spores, I think. Name's Wintag; I'm working on the Republic Tarisian Archival Database. We call it Rep-TAD. I'm assigned - achoo! - to explore the old city myself, but I'm, ah, not handling the change of atmospheres very well. I don't suppose you'd be up for a little job exploring the ruins? We're well funded, so I can pay you for your trouble.
    Hero of Tython
    Just let us know how we can be of service.
    Wintag
    Thank you. Your generosity is a refreshing change.
    I'm talking about finding the archive set up by Taris's own government to preserve their knowledge and culture in the event of disaster. I've been working on this for years, and I believe I've finally pinpointed the location of their archive. I've tried to approach the location before, but it is positively overrun with rakghouls. I couldn't get close. If you can get past them, let my assistant know how to arrange retrieval--her constitution is stronger than mine... achoo!

    QM-35
    This is a restricted area. There have been no security breaches for the past... one hundred and eleven thousand, three hundred and twenty-five days. Please show your credentials to enter.
    Hero of Tython
    Have you been guarding this place for three hundred years?
    QM-35
    That is correct.
    Barsen'thor
    Is this the Taris Archive?
    QM-35
    Yes. And be aware, while I am not programmed to fight, there are numerous automated defenses in place.
    My programming appears to contain a contradiction. I am instructed only to open this door to a member of the Tarisian government. But when the archive was brought online, all members of the ruling government were contained within. I have received no information on their successors.
    Voidhound
    What do you mean they were "contained within"?
    QM-35
    This is the ruling government of Taris, as last appointed, plus representatives of every major science and industry.
    Meteor
    Taris was destroyed. This place has been a wasteland for three hundred years. There is no government.
    QM-35
    Ah, let me update my programs... my fall-through under that condition is to open only to representatives of the Galactic Republic. Is that you?
    Barsen'thor
    Yes. I am a member of the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic.
    QM-35
    Excellent. Welcome to the Taris Archive.

    Tiffan Nye
    I was told you might be coming. Was there anything in the archive?
    Hero of Tython
    Apparently, the ancient Tarisian government thought the most important thing to preserve was... themselves.
    Tiffan Nye
    Themselves. What do you...? Do you mean literally? That's amazing! All this time, we've been working from old recordings and the occasional droid when the key to the whole planet's history is right here. I must notify the Republic. Thank you for braving the rakghouls to uncover this!

. After the operatives explained that the surface of Taris was devastated 300 years ago and they were representatives of the Galactic Republic, QM-35 revealed that the ruling government of Taris, as last appointed, plus representatives of every major science and industry were contained within the Archive. He reported that their final wish was to be thawed when Taris was once more in the hands of the Republic and handed the operatives all the data on everyone held inside. Then QM-35 briefly opened the vault door to allow operatives to take a look at the scores of carbonite slabs stored inside. The operatives thanked him, took the data and returned it to Tiffan Nye.
