    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.

    Dialog transcript
    Nelex
    Jedi, we just got a call from the expedition. They said you helped them out, but the rest sounds crazy. Tykan attacking them, a couple of survivors? From a twelve-man team? Tell me that's wrong!
    Barsen'thor
    Unfortunately, most of the expedition is dead. And Master Tykan is responsible. He lured the expedition into a trap, set a fire nearby and ran off.
    Aris Vauranelle
    No! What if he was trying to lead them to safety? They ignored him and wandered off!
    Barsen'thor
    It's only natural to defend your Master, Aris, but a Jedi seeks the truth in all matters. You have my sympathies, Aris. I watched my own Master suffer like this.
    Nelex
    I want him found - found and brought to justice, even if I have to drag him back myself!
    Aris Vauranelle
    No, please! None of this is his fault!
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan needs help. The survivors said he was headed to the Junction.
    Nelex
    Damn him. The Junction's a gas trap full of civilian workers! Keep your eyes open. Tykan used the Junction in his restoration effort. There might be a clue to stopping him there.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Please don't hurt Master Tykan. He's the only one who could save Taris. And... I need him, to explain all this to me.

    Cin Tykan
    Too late, Jedi. You wandered too long, too long. But now the reactor will bathe Taris in fire. No black rock. No shadow. The Republic will not spread it! I can cleanse it here, cauterize the flow!
    Barsen'thor
    Think, Master Tykan. You're killing the planet you've been trying to save.
    Cin Tykan
    No, fool! No! Weren't you listening? Lord Vivicar promised to guide me. He spoke to the heart of me! Lord Vivicar understands!
    Barsen'thor
    Destroy that reactor, and everyone you've tried to help on Taris will die. Including your Padawan.
    Cin Tykan
    My Padawan... my- Lord Vivicar commanded it!
    Barsen'thor
    Who is this "Lord Vivicar"? Why are you taking orders from him?
    Cin Tykan
    He is- he commands me. I- I can't-
    Barsen'thor
    Is... Lord Vivicar in the room with us now, Master Tykan?
    Cin Tykan
    He is here. And everywhere. He is- he-
    Aris Vauranelle
    It's alright, Master. I'm here to help you, remember? Master Tykan explained everything. I see the beauty in Taris that the Republic destroyed. His work must continue to save Taris. And we will be together.
    Barsen'thor
    You know this is wrong. Aris, would a sane Master ask you to hurt innocent people?
    Aris Vauranelle
    I- I know this isn't pleasant, but it's necessary.
    Barsen'thor
    My Master suffered too. Believe me, Aris, I understand how this hurts. But your loyalty is blinding you.
    Aris Vauranelle
    You couldn't understand. Master Tykan has- has shown me the truth.
    Barsen'thor
    Then explain all this to me. You would devastate an entire planet, just on Tykan's say-so?
    Aris Vauranelle
    I- I only want the Republic to- no. No. Master, we should find another way.
    Barsen'thor
    Look at him. Your Master needs help. The Force has given me the ability to heal him.
    Aris Vauranelle
    But he- Master, perhaps she's right. Perhaps we should reconsider. I don't- what if we just listen to them for a minute, Master, think this over again?
    Cin Tykan
    What's this? Such brightness in her, and she dares strike against me?
    Aris Vauranelle
    Never. I will not fight you, Master Tykan, but... you're ill. Let us help you.
    Barsen'thor
    It's not too late. Step away from the reactor, and I'll take care of the rest.
    Cin Tykan
    They all turn against me! You brought this darkness here! The purification of Taris will begin with you!

    Dialog transcript
    Cin Tykan
    The darkness... is gone! I am myself again. You've saved me. At great cost to yourself, I can feel it. I am truly sorry.
    Barsen'thor
    The shielding technique is a strain, but it was the only way to save you.
    Cin Tykan
    I owe you a debt I can never repay.
    Barsen'thor
    While you were ill, you mentioned a "Lord Vivicar." Do you remember?
    Cin Tykan
    No. I recall the name, but not what it means. I'm sorry.
    I will go before the Republic and admit my guilt. Purge myself of this shame. I harmed so many, and almost destroyed my Padawan. I'm not fit to be a Jedi Master.
    Barsen'thor
    We gain strength through adversity. Enduring the plague will make you stronger.
    Aris Vauranelle
    And you can pass on that strength to others, Master. And I can give you all the help you need.
    Cin Tykan
    I must report to Master Syo Bakarn and the Council. There's much to be done. I'm sure Captain Nelex will want to know you are safe. Thank you, again. I... still can't believe the sacrifice you made for me. I only hope your burden does not become too great.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Thank you for sparing Master Tykan. I doubt Captain Nelex would have been so forgiving. The Republic won't understand. When Master Tykan turns himself in... they'll never forgive him for this.
    Barsen'thor
    Master Tykan has to accept the consequences of his actions.
    Aris Vauranelle
    Yes, he taught me that, and now he must live up to it. Whatever happens, you gave him the chance to atone and continue his work. Maybe one day, Taris will be beautiful again. Thank you.

, Tykan abducted Vauranelle and dragged her to one of the last working super-reactors deep within the ruins of Transport Station 5 in the Tularan Marsh region. There, Vauranelle listened to her beloved master as he explained how it was the Republic's fault that Taris was in such instability and that the Jedi Consular would quickly betray them for the Republic's cause.
