    Master Till'in
    Welcome, Padawan to Orgus Din. Your Master speaks highly of your potential. Ah, and Master Yuon's new Padawan. A great Jedi-in-the-making, by all accounts. Greetings.
    Jedi Duo
    Someone asked me to deliver a message.
    Master Till'in
    Let's see what you've brought me... ah yes. Fia. The poor girl is still apologizing for shooting at me on Raxus Prime. I forget how violently some humans react when first meeting my species. I don't understand why they always seem to shoot before thinking. Luckily, Fia's aim was unbalanced by her fear.
    It was kind of you to deliver this holorecording, though I should gently instruct Padawan Fia to stop interrupting my work. Speaking of which....

    Dialog transcript
    Master Till'in
    Here, examine this droid's cognitive unit I recovered from the ruins. Twenty-thousand years old, yet still functional. Our forebears built things to last.
    Jedi Duo
    What happened to the rest of the droid's parts?
    Master Till'in
    A shame the cognitive unit's owner had to be destroyed. It was a magnificent machine, but quite hostile. I was forced to dismantle it with my lightsaber.
    The ruins of Lower Kaleth are filled with droids constructed during Tython's original colonization by the galaxy's first Force users. We don't know the Tythonian droids' purpose - only that they attack anyone who enters the ruins. My mission is to learn why.
    Jedi Duo
    What kind of damage can these droids do to people?
    Master Till'in
    We've had several serious injuries. Left unchecked, the droids are going to kill someone. We can't let it come to that. It's been millennia since the Tythonian droids were memory-wiped. Their programming lies buried amid trillions of accumulated databits.
    I've constructed a scanner to analyze the droids' cognitive units for command protocols, but I need several samplings to sort through the static.
    Jedi Duo
    We'll get those samplings for you in no time, Master Till'in.
    Master Till'in
    Good. This will greatly accelerate my efforts to solve this mystery and make the ruins safe. Your Masters have great confidence in your abilities, as do I. This task won't be simple, but I know you'll succeed.

    Dialog transcript
    Master Till'in
    My scanner's memory is already full? Perfect timing. I'll collate your data with my own readings and analyze them together. Hmm... it seems the droids were indeed built for war. Twenty thousand years later, they still pursue their primary function. How sad. These ancient droids were soldiers in Tython's great Force Wars - a time before there were Jedi, Sith or even a Republic.
    Jedi Duo
    We have never heard of these "Force Wars."
    Master Till'in
    It was the first conflict between Force users - a horrific battle between light and darkness that lasted for a hundred years. According to the droid logs, Kaleth was a stronghold of the dark side's forces. They made their last stand here. As they died, the dark siders activated the droids as a doomsday weapon - hoping to ensure the light side's destruction as well.
    Jedi Duo
    For doomsday droids, they sure fall apart easy.
    Master Till'in
    I doubt either of us will hold up nearly as well after twenty thousand years. These machines were quite menacing for their epoch.
    Jedi Duo
    Clearly, the light side survived these doomsday weapons.
    Master Till'in
    Indeed - and went on to found our Jedi Order. To think what might have been, if the dark siders' plans had succeeded....
    The Council must deliberate and decide what should be done about the droids. It isn't up to us. By your efforts, we see Kaleth in a fresh light. I will commend you to the Council. Continue with your tasks. Make your Masters proud.
    Give Masters Orgus and Yuon my best wishes.
