    Vernan
    "Dear Adali, I regret that your husband was killed yesterday by rakghouls. Please accept my condolences. Doctor Soylon was an excellent scientist."
    I've never composed a death notice before. How did that sound? I need an honest opinion, and all my colleagues are deceased.
    Voidhound
    You might try softening the blow a little.
    Vernan
    Really? Adali always impressed me as something of a stoic. Then again, she is a widow now. Hmm....
    Voidhound
    I'm just delivering supplies.
    Vernan
    Ah! I recognize the symbols on that container! My bio-alarms have finally arrived. Good, good. If only this had arrived in time to save my associates. Not your fault, certainly. We knew the risk of studying rakghouls.
    Voidhound
    How did you manage to survive by yourself?
    Vernan
    I do seem to have beaten the odds. Perhaps there's something about me these creatures don't like. The pursuit of knowledge is never without risk. And the greater the risk, the greater the enlightenment. My colleagues and I were studying the rakghouls' behavior hoping to find a means of containing them. We can't afford to let the rakghouls impede our progress. The Republic's rebuilding efforts on Taris are paramount to future prosperity. This was a wonderful planet before the Sith destroyed it. The Republic must rebuild and show that Sith aggression will not stand.
    Voidhound
    You're pretty fearless, for a scientist.
    Vernan
    Fear obstructs understanding. Besides, my prospects for survival have just improved.
    I've isolated an identifying element in the rakghouls' physiology, making it possible to detect and track their movements. The bio-alarms you brought will reveal how the creatures hunt - however, installing them will be a challenge with all my assistants dead.
    Corso Riggs
    "Big-brain" here wouldn't last ten meters outside this camp. Besides, we can always use credits.
    Voidhound
    If you've got the credits, doc, we've got the time.
    Vernan
    Thanks to the rakghouls, I have a budget surplus for staff expenses. You're hired!
    Voidhound
    Consider them installed, doc. How hard can it be?
    Vernan
    Indeed! All that's required are quick feet, basic technical know-how and raw nerve--things I see you possess in abundance. Place a bio-alarm at each survey station we've established, and I'll see you're amply rewarded. Come back when you're done, and we'll celebrate your success. Normally I'd ask for your next of kin's holofrequency, but I'd rather maintain some optimism. Good luck!

    Vernan
    Splendid work! I'm already receiving data transmissions from the bio-alarms. You've done the Republic's rebuilding effort a tremendous favor.
    Voidhound
    It wasn't a favor, remember?
    Vernan
    Oh, come now. Take a moment and give yourself a pat on the back before you dash off with your money. What you've done most definitely calls for generous compensation. Good show! Accept these credits with my extreme gratitude.
    Voidhound
    It seems dangerous to stay out here all alone.
    Vernan
    I'm one hundred percent safer now with the bio-alarms in place. I'll be fine. Soon, we'll know how to contain the rakghouls. From there, eradication of these beasts will quickly follow. I'll begin collating my data. Thank you again for everything.
