The view from the door of the Czerka office: the protocol officer stands at its north end, while the Rodian Greeta Holda mans the kiosk by the west wall.
Exit
The door exiting to Anchorhead is behind you in the east wall, in the northeast corner of the Czerka office.
Sand People
Upon entering for the first time, you witness the end of an altercation between the Duros conservationist Dayso Cooh and the Czerka protocol officer:
Dialog
Dayso Cooh: You'll be hearing about this, you Czerka puppet! I'm not going to let this drop! You can't just murder a whole village! And don't tell me to take my concerns to your corporate kiosk! I know when I'm not wanted!
1. What's going on here? Who are you?
2. Stop your shouting, fool! What's this about?
Dayso Cooh: I'm done talking in this office. They aren't interested in listening to me. I doubt they will even acknowledge I was here. Typical corporate evasion. That's what happens when they own everything. No accountability. Don't even bother bringing it up.
He exits, but remains outside, while the protocol officer remains at the north end of the office:
Protocol Officer: Can I help you? These are the offices of Czerka Corporation. I trust you have business with the company? If this is about employment, I'm afraid all regular mining positions are full. And before you ask, we are also no longer selling hunting licenses.
You need to ask about hunting licenses:
Dialog
2. I want to ask about hunting licenses.
Protocol Officer: As I said, we are no longer selling them. There are too many people cavorting about outside the walls as it is.
3. Have there been a lot of people leaving the city?
Protocol Officer: With the downturn in mining, people want any chance at credits they can get. Most wouldn't survive a day, let alone qualify as hunters. The last license issued before the ban was given to a woman named Marlena Venn. She'll do fine; she had a mean streak a parsec wide. She also paid double. Exceptions like this are rare, unless it suits the company to offer them.
1. Why would I need a license anyway?
Protocol Officer: We use them to insure that only people judged fit by Czerka Corporation are allowed outside the city. We don't allow casual exploration because of legal concerns. Czerka Corporation takes no responsibility for loss of life on the dunes. It's just so we can keep track of people. No one leaves the city without a Czerka hunting license.
2. There is no way to get a license?
Protocol Officer: Well, normally we charge 200 credits, but I could make an exception if you agreed to perform a task for us. It's similar to hunting.
2. There is no way to get a license?
2. What was it you wanted me to do for a license?
Protocol Officer: The Sand People are becoming a problem. They destroy our sandcrawlers and kill our miners. One particular tribe is the worst. It's as if their chieftain has decided to wage a war against us. I would like their attacks... terminated. Bring me their gaffi sticks as proof. If you agree to do this, I'll give you a hunting license now and pay a bounty for each stick later. I'll give a bonus for the chieftain's.
1. Why pay for the gaffi sticks? Why not their heads?
Protocol Officer: Which would you rather have dumped on your office floor? Besides, they are ceremonial weapons unique to each warrior. It's just as good.
2. I don't want to do this.
Protocol Officer: Then you are free to not leave the city, just like everyone else. Czerka Corporation will welcome your eventual change of mind. Please, feel free to enjoy the door behind you.
Sand People Czerka Corporation has offered to allow you to leave Anchorhead and enter the Dune Sea if you help stop the Sand People from attacking their interests. There is no other way to get permission to enter the Dune Sea.
You have to agree:
Dialog
3. I will agree to do this for you.
Protocol Officer: Excellent. Now, just so we understand each other, this is an enforceable contract. Czerka Corporation takes this very seriously. Here is your license, and a few directions. We believe one of their enclaves is in the far south of the Dune Sea. You might try following one of our sandcrawlers. They are regularly attacked. I wouldn't mind you escorting them.
2. I'll go get to it then.
Protocol Officer: Very good. Czerka Corporation looks forward to your future business.
Sand People Czerka Corporation has given you permission to enter the Dune Sea on the condition that you stop the Sand People from raiding their mining interests. They want the Sand People chieftain's gaffi stick as proof.
Protocol Officer
Hunter's License
This signifies that the bearer may exit Anchorhead to hunt out on the deserts of Tatooine, having acknowledged that Czerka Corporation bears no responsibility for any harm that may come to them.
You can now enter the Dune Sea via the gate at the east end of Anchorhead.
Dayso Cooh
Upon exiting the office, the Duros conservationist Dayso Cooh approachs you and tells you what's going on:
Dialog
Dayso Cooh: Don't you believe a word of what Czerka Corporation said in there, there is always a peaceful solution to conflict. They are just lazy.
Dayso Cooh: Czerka miners have been attacked by Sand People, so the company Czerka Corporation wants them killed. They didn't ask you to do it?
Dayso Cooh: So, you are the killer that they hired. Just going to walk out there and wipe them out? I'd expect no less from fools.
Dayso Cooh: I'm sure you do. Czerka probably hired you to kill the Sand People in retaliation for a few attacks. Just another bloodthirsty fool.
Dayso Cooh: The Sand People aren't animals. I've watched them, and they are intelligent. There must be a way to peacefully stop the attacks... I know it. But no one will try, of course. You can't even leave the city without Czerka approval and they want the Sand People dead.
2. Intelligent or not, the Sand People have killed people.
3. Why would you know any better?
Dayso Cooh: Well, yes they did. They attacked the Czerka, who deployed numerous giant sandcrawlers and started tearing up the desert with ion shovels and whatever else.
Dayso Cooh: Yes they have, but Czerka Corporation deployed numerous giant sandcrawlers to tear up the desert with ion shovels and whatever else.
Dayso Cooh: Perhaps I'm no expert on diplomatic situations, but I know when there is a lack of due care for the evironment and the residents of it.
Dayso Cooh: What would you have done? To the Sand People, it must have seemed like an invasion. There were no negotiations for territory or resources. I don't think the killing has been justified, but as a conservationist I'm hoping someone at least tries to talk this out.
The following responses end the dialog most quickly:
3. I will deal with the matter as I see fit.
Dayso Cooh: That's what the infuriating Czerka Protocol officer said, but I'm not foolish enough to believe it. Everyone just wants to wipe the Sand People out.
3. I will deal with the matter as I see fit.
4. I don't care. Get out of my way.
Dayso Cooh: Go on then, but you're just like the Czerka. Shortsighted fool. If you could just talk to them... maybe get a true translation droid... Ah, I'm wasting my time. Go on, get out of here.
Otherwise, you can ask him more about his nonviolent solution:
Dialog
1. What would you suggest, then?
2. Why hasn't anyone tried talking to them?
Dayso Cooh: Communication. If we could just speak to them... but they don't talk. At least, not in any language an average translator can understand.
Dayso Cooh: Well, there is the small matter that they don't seem to speak a language that your average translator can understand. Is that their fault?
Dayso Cooh: There was even a Jedi here a few years ago that couldn't seem to get through to them. I... think that ended in blood too. I'm not saying it would be easy, but someone has to try. Maybe with a real translation droid, not these old protocol scrap heaps walking around.
1. Who would have a capable droid?
2. Why don't *you* do something? Why should I?
Dayso Cooh: They are pretty rare, even on well-stocked worlds, but I'm sure I heard something about an unusual droid in the shop here on Tatooine.
Dayso Cooh: Someone else has to! I've got no influence with Czerka Corporation, I can't afford what Yuka Laka charges for his droids, and I wouldn't survive... Well, what I mean is, whoever tries to deal with the Sand People would first have to survive their initial attacks. I wouldn't. Someone could maybe get into their enclave if they could disguise themselves, but you'd have to get real desert robes and that would be dangerous too.
Dayso Cooh: I'm sure I heard Yuka Laka say that it could speak a Sand People dialect. Although he'd say rust is gold to make a sale... With that droid, maybe you could talk to them. I wouldn't survive... maybe with desert robes as a disguise someone could get into their enclave.
1. Where would that enclave you mentioned be?
Dayso Cooh: What? It's no secret where they are. The attacks get worse the further southwest in the Dune Sea you go. Then people die on both sides.
2. Where would you get robes to match theirs?
Dayso Cooh: I suppose you could take them off of the warrior raiders in the Dune Sea, but there's no way I'd survive anything like that. Plus you would have to explain why you killed their warriors if you are trying to make peace... but I suppose there is no other way.
3. Maybe I'll look into it.
Dayso Cooh: Sure, that's what Czerka Corporation keeps saying, and then they just start shooting again. The fighting won't stop until they are all dead. Or until the Czerka leave. The one is as likely as the other with the way things are going. Bah, what do I know.
Sand People Czerka Corporation wants someone to put an end to a community of Sand People that has been attacking their mining interests. An alien conservationist suggested there might be a peaceful solution if a sophisticated translation droid could be taken on the task, but no one leaves the city without Czerka permission, so people will likely just do what the company wants.
Sand People Czerka Corporation is allowing you to enter the Dune Sea on the condition that you stop the Sand People raids, bringing them the chieftain's gaffi stick as proof. An alien conservationist has suggested there might be a better way to stop the conflict if a sophisticated translation droid could be taken on the task.
Such a droid is for sale in the droid shop on the north side of the square at the east end of Anchorhead.
Protocol officer
You can return to the protocol officer to ask about your agreement and, after purchasing HK-47 and using him to make an agreement with the Sand People chieftain, suggest there may be a nonviolent solution:
Dialog
Protocol Officer: Greetings again from the offices of Czerka Corporation. Is this about bounties or something else?
2. I want to ask about our agreement.
Protocol Officer: Yes, we are still waiting for you to return with the Sand People Chieftain's gaffi stick. I will reward you well when you do. We don't have any new information on the subject. It is still possible that they have an enclave in the far south of the Dune Sea. And I would remind you that you did agree to do this task for Czerka Corporation. We expect completion in a timely manner.
Protocol Officer: I should remind you that you were not retained as a diplomatic representative. You are a hunter, and should go after your prey as we agreed. You are not authorized to do anything other than deliver what was promised. Do so, and don't talk of this foolishness again.
2. I have to go. Goodbye.
Protocol Officer: Farewell. Czerka Corporation welcomes your future inquiries.
Sand People The Czerka have made it clear they are not interested in a peaceful solution to the Sand People attacks. They want you to kill them all.
Neither solution affects your alignment, and most experience is received by making peace with the purchase of HK-47 (250 XP) and later moisture vaporators (400 XP) from Greeta Holda, then breaking it once you've completed the Desert Hunt in the Eastern Dune Sea to prove yourself worthy of their history (250 XP), allowing you to kill the Storyteller instead of a Sand People guard (400 more XP at experience level < 12): that's up to 1300 more XP in total. However, this has a high price: it costs 2500-5000 credits to purchase HK-47 and 200-400 credits to purchase moisture vaporators.
Once you have any Gaffi Sticks to redeem for bounties:
* A Sand People guard can be killed in their territory or the enclave, or neither once you've given the moisture vaporators to their chieftain, and there will be four fewer Sand People Warriors in the enclave if Mission's brother Griff doesn't appear there.
Once you have the chieftain's gaffi stick by fair means or foul, you can redeem the bounty to complete this quest:
Dialog
3. I was mistaken. I'll be back later.
Protocol Officer: Very well, but we need this matter taken care of.
Otherwise:
2. Yes, here it is.
Protocol Officer: Well, that is a very big headache that you have removed. I'm sure there are still Sand People out there, but they will be quieter now. I think I'll give you a bonus for this. You've more than lived up to your side of the bargain. Czerka Corporation thanks you.
She can be persuaded to give more if you're skillful enough or you can dominate minds:
2. [Persuade] For a bit more I could maintain my vigilance in the future.
Protocol Officer: [Success] It would be valuable to have someone on call if the Sand People made another incursion. I think you're right. Yes, here is an additional reward.
3. [Force Persuade] You want to give me an additional reward.
Dialog
Protocol Officer: [Success] And I wouldn't want you to leave without this additional reward. Yes, of course I wouldn't.
Jolee: *whisper* Nicely done, kid. Those extra credits could come in handy on our little search. Besides, it's not like Czerka Corp. can't afford it.
Bastila: *whisper* Czerka may be a corrupt organization, but that doesn't justify us using the Force for personal gain.
Juhani: *whisper* A Jedi shoud not use the Force to acquire credits - even if we are taking them from a corrupt corporation like Czerka.
Carth: *whisper* I don't know much about the Jedi code, but I know I'd rather see those credits in our hands than in the hands of Czerka Corp or the Sith.
Protocol Officer: Once again, Czerka Corporation thanks you.
Credits Received: 700
Otherwise, if persuasion fails then a threat is never successful and you have to settle for less:
Dialog
2. [Persuade] For a bit more I could maintain my vigilance in the future.
3. [Force Persuade] You want to give me an additional reward.
Protocol Officer: [Failure] I think you'll find that the reward I have given is more than adequate for the task. No more is deserved.
4. Hand over more or I bury you the same as the Sand People.
Protocol Officer: *ahem* While I respect your... forcefulness, I must remind you that ours are the finest, and only, guards in Anchorhead. It would simply be inadvisable to attempt such an action in here. There would be no place for you to run. I don't fear you here.
1. That amount will suffice.
Protocol Officer: I'm sure. Czerka Corporation thanks you again.
Credits Received: 500
Sand People You brought the Sand People chieftain's gaffi to the Czerka office, fulfilling your agreement with them.
Received:
1300 Brought Sand People chieftain's gaffi to the Czerka office
You can ask her about Czerka Corporation, although you may need to be persuasive to get answers:
Dialog
3. I want to ask about Czerka Corporation.
Protocol Officer: Of course. Czerka Corporation records are available at our Representative Kiosk on Coruscant. Business hours please. For your needs here, we maintain a fully stocked storehouse. Speak with Greeta Holda about any purchases.
Protocol Officer: I'm sorry, but day-to-day operations of Czerka Corporation outposts are fully regionalized. I have no information on Kashyyyk.
1. Which is very convenient if one branch is charged with misconduct.
Protocol Officer: I'm sorry, I'll have to direct you to our Representative Kiosk on Coruscant. Business hours only, please.
2. May I ask how your operations here on Tatooine are doing?
Protocol Officer: Certainly. Please pose your questions to the Representative Kiosk on Coruscant. Business hours please.
1. [Persuade] Why the secrets? The company stuck you here. Tell me.
Protocol Officer: [Failure] I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'll have to refer you to the Representative Kiosk.
1. [Persuade] Why the secrets? The company stuck you here. Tell me.
2. [Force Persuade] It would be better if you told me now.
Protocol Officer: [Success] I suppose you're right. It's not like you can't tell the state of things just by looking around.
Protocol Officer: [Success] Of course, I could just tell you now. No sense in being so secretive. It's all fairly obvious.
Protocol Officer: Mining operations here have not been a success. The ore is substandard, and there's less of it than surveys indicated. With the Sand People raids on top of it all, it's no wonder this planet has been abandoned before.
1. What makes the ore substandard?
Protocol Officer: No one knows. There are odd energy fluctuations on this planet, but they defy analysis or explanation. But the effect is obvious. Ore taken from Tatooine is useless for construction. It degrades incredibly fast. Word is getting out about it too. We're running out of buyers. Czerka Corporation is not doing well here.
2. Does this mean you have plans to pull out?
Protocol Officer: The company would have to be foolish to stay. It will be costly, but in the end, leaving will be cheaper than staying. I imagine all the heavy equipment will be abandoned. It's not worth shipping out things like sandcrawlers. Maybe the Jawas will find a use for them when we're gone. Ha! That's a laugh!
3. What do you mean the planet was abandoned before?
Protocol Officer: We can't ignore evidence that Anchorhead was settled more than once before, and abandoned each time. There's probably about a century between each attempt. Just long enough for records about why it failed to disappear. The Jawas scavenge ancient tech all the time. It's a remote world. Who knows what's here?
4. Let's go back to my first questions.
Protocol Officer: Very well, though I do have work to get back to.
You can also ask about anything out of the ordinary happening:
Dialog
4. Anything out of the ordinary happening?
Protocol Officer: I assume that by "out of the ordinary" you are referring to the destruction of Taris? That is all anyone is talking about. I'm afraid Czerka Corporation is not offering any comment on those events. We wouldn't wish to anger the participants.
2. No desire to mistakenly associate with the losing side, hmm?
Protocol Officer: Czerka Corporation policy is not subject to your approval. It is a sound business model. Save us your commentary.
1. Know about anything more local?
Protocol Officer: If you are looking for local events, I suggest you go to the swoop track. One of the few leisure industries on Tatooine. Hmm... there was also a Jawa here earlier, saying something about needing help. I think he's out by the city gates. I can't be more specific about what he wanted. Our droid translators had difficulty with the message.
Greeta Holda
The Rodian Greeta Holda mans the kiosk by the west wall opposite the door:
Greeta Holda: Yes? What is it? If this is about mining or Sand People, you go to the Czerka officers. I just manage the storehouse.
1. What do you have available for purchase?
Greeta Holda: Mostly just standard Czerka provisions and supplies. Not enough to keep the locals happy. Have a look.
Upon returning from the Sand People enclave after agreeing to bring the Sand People chieftain moisture vaporators, you can now buy them from him:
Dialog
Greeta Holda: You again? You want to buy something? If not, go bother the officers.
1. What do you have available for purchase?
Greeta Holda: Was there something specific you were looking for? You seem like you are looking for unique things.
1. Do you have any moisture vaporators?
2. No, just your normal fare.
Greeta Holda: I may, but that is not something I usually sell to spacers. You don't look like a moisture farmer. What do you want them for?
Greeta Holda: Take a look. The best stocked storehouse on Tatooine. Not that that's saying much.
1. To exchange with Sand People to stop their attacks.
2. That's not really your concern, is it?
3. You just show me what you have. Don't risk angering me!
Greeta Holda: Ah, exactly the kind of appeasement that Czerka Corporation doesn't like to support in their policies. I like it.
Greeta Holda: No, I suppose not. It wouldn't have mattered. Well, let me tell you what I have, then.
Greeta Holda: Of course, of course, I'll show you what I have, but don't push your luck with those threats. It's not polite.
Greeta Holda: Well, I have two of the finest vaporators that Czerka Corporation produces. Of course, they only produce one model right now.
Greeta Holda: The price is 400 credits for the pair. I won't break them up. They function best when linked together.
Greeta Holda: The price is 200 for the pair. I'm not sure how you talked me into that ridiculously low bargain, but there it is.
2. Could you be persuaded to lower the price?
Greeta Holda: Well, I don't think that's very likely. I have to cover my costs, you know.
Greeta Holda: I really don't think so. I don't know how, but you've already convinced me to lower it as much as I can. It's a good deal.
1. [Persuade] Czerka's costs, not yours. Who cares about their money?
Greeta Holda: [Failure] I can't do it. I just can't. You'll have to come up with the money.
3. You'll do as I say. I'm the biggest threat in the room.
Greeta Holda: You're a big something, but not so much a threat. That won't work on me, not in the heart of Anchorhead. If you did anything in here you wouldn't be safe anywhere. There are guards everywhere. Look, let's just do some honest business.
3. I can't pay you right now.
Greeta Holda: I'm sorry, but that is as low as I can go. There's nothing I can do about it. Czerka regulations, you know.
He can be persuaded to lower the price:
1. [Persuade] Czerka's costs, not yours. Who cares about their money?
2. [Force Persuade] You want to lower the price.
Dialog
Greeta Holda: [Success] Well, I don't have much love for the company, not like little miss Protocol Officer over there.
Greeta Holda: [Success] Of course I want to lower the price, but Czerka regulations... ah, who cares about those, right?
Greeta Holda: I'll lower the price to 200 credits, but that is it. Don't even ask again.
1. I'll take the moisture vaporators for 400.
1. 200 for the moisture vaporators sounds fine to me.
Greeta Holda: Fine, fine, I assume you'll be able to handle the deployment of them? They are surprisingly light. It's a pleasure doing business with you. Do come again.
Credits Lost: 400
Credits Lost: 200
Sand People You have purchased two moisture vaporators from the Czerka office. Take them to the Sand People chieftain in the enclave.
Received:
100 Purchased two moisture vaporators
Greeta Holda
Moisture Vaporators
These devices use a pair of vaporators to condense moisture from the air, albeit in small amounts over a long period of time. Droughts can last for centuries on some desert worlds, so this may be the only means to obtain water.
Exit and return to the docking bay before transiting back to the entrance to the Sand People enclave.
You can ask about bounties and Czerka Corporation:
Greeta Holda: Is that a coy way of referring to Taris going down? You don't want my views on that.
2. What about your opinions on Taris?
Greeta Holda: You know what? At least the Sith seem to make things happen. How old is the Republic? 15,000 years? It's stagnant. Every year ships get a little faster, droids get a little smarter, and people get a little fatter. That's about it for progress. I suspect I'd do just as much grunt-labor under them as I do now. They'll at least shake things up.
1. Even if it means the deaths of innocents?
2. You like change; that's good.
Greeta Holda: Nobody's innocent once their mother has left the room. That's just my view.
Greeta Holda: You say that like you know something. Well, keep it to yourself. I like to watch this change from a distance, thanks.
1. Okay, what about local events?
Greeta Holda: Don't care about them. I stay in the Czerka compound. We could be on a pleasure world, for all I care or know.
5. I have to go. Goodbye.
Greeta Holda: Bye then. Come back if you need any supplies.
Protocol Officer: Griff? Uh... there's no Griff here. Never heard of him. No, I... I don't remember a single Griff on the Czerka Corporation payroll.
1. Maybe 20 credits will refresh your memory?
Protocol Officer: That... may help in this instance. Let me think... perhaps I remember this Griff character.
Credits Lost: 20
However, she can always be persuaded to tell using your skill or the Force, so save your credits:
Dialog
2. [Persuade] Are you certain of that? I would leave sooner if I knew.
3. [Force Persuasion] You want to tell me about Griff.
Protocol Officer: [Success] Oh, you mean that Twi'lek! Must have slipped my mind for a second. Yes, of course I remember Griff.
Protocol Officer: [Success] Can you spare me a few moments? I have something I want to get off my chest. I want to tell you about one of our workers. His name was Griff.
Protocol Officer: We hired that Twi'lek some time ago. Not a good worker according to his crew chief: always complaining and faking injuries to get out of work. He entered false time sheets and slept through his shifts. We even suspected him of stealing Czerka Corporation supplies, although we could never prove it.
1. Yes, that sounds like him.
2. So you fired him?
Protocol Officer: We would've fired him but we needed workers. It would have been better for him if he had been fired. Then the Sand People wouldn't have gotten him.
1. The Sand People?
2. You mean he's dead?
Protocol Officer: He was lost in a Sand People raid we suffered not too long ago. There were prisoners taken, but our rescue parties never found anyone alive. In the end it just wasn't cost effective to keep searching. All miners sign a waiver absolving Czerka Corporation of liability in these circumstances.
1. So your workers are all expendable?
Protocol Officer: Czerka Corporation cares deeply for all of its employees. That's why we've started a bounty program to thin the Sand People numbers.
1. So your workers are all expendable?
2. Did the Sand People kill Griff or not!
Protocol Officer: We didn't find his body so we have to assume he was taken prisoner. Whether he's still alive, I couldn't say. That's all I can tell you. I shouldn't even have said this much; this is all privileged corporate information. I could lose my job!
1. Is there some type of reward for saving him?
Protocol Officer: As I said, all employees have signed waivers absolving Czerka Corporation of any financial liability if this occurs. It is the industry standard. I suppose you could apply for special dispensation from the Czerka Corporation Representative Kiosk on Coruscant. Business hours only, please.
2. Never mind. I want to ask you about something else.
Protocol Officer: Very well, though I do have work to get back to.
Mission's Brother According to the Czerka rep on Tatooine, Griff was captured during a Sand People raid on one of the mining camps. Whether he is still alive is anyone's guess.
Griff now appears in an enclosure on the east side of the Sand People enclave. If you speak to Mission before setting him free:
Dialog
Mission: Hey, there. What can I do for you?
1. I want to talk to you about your brother.
Mission: Talk? What is there to talk about? Those sandpeople took my brother prisoner! Griff may be a slime but we have to go rescue him! We can't just leave him with those... those... those monsters!
1. Don't worry Mission - we'll get him back.
2. He's probably already dead, Mission.
3. I've got more important things to worry about, Mission.
Mission: I knew I could count on you! There's definite fringe benefits to being friends with a Jedi!
Mission: You heard the Czerka rep: the sandpeople sometimes take prisoners. Say what you want about Griff, but he's a survivor. I know he's still alive.
Mission: I know you're out to save the galaxy and all. But you can't just turn your back on someone who needs your help - you're a Jedi, not a Sith!
Mission: I can't make you go after my brother, but you're the only one who can save him. Just think about it, that's all I ask. In the end I know you'll do the right thing.
Once he's free and he and Mission have been reunited, he appears in the northwest corner of the office:
Dialog
Griff: Ah, just the person I was hoping to see!
Mission: Hmph! Save it Griff - I'm still not talking to you! I want no part of whatever you're involved in!
Griff: Mission didn't come with you, I see. Uh... guess she's still mad at me. Oh well... it's probably for the best. This job is more up your alley anyway.
Griff: Okay, sis - I see you're still mad. Fair enough. I don't think you could help me with this anyway. It's uh... more of a job for your friend here.
1. What's the job?
2. Come on, Griff, get to the point.
Griff: As you may know, tach glands can be refined into a very potent powder. It's the primary ingredient in Tarisian ale - that's what makes it so strong. Of course, now that Taris is pretty much wiped from the face of the map Tarisian ale has become somewhat scarce - and uh... very, very valuable. Luckily, I know the secret recipe!
1. So you want to open a bar?
2. What does this have to do with me?
Griff: I know this guy... he's with the Exchange. Now, if I give him a small sample of Tarisian ale he says he can synthesize it and reproduce it in mass quantities. Problem is, I need one of those tach glands to make the first batch. And now that Taris is a smoking ruin, the only place to find tach is on Kashyyyk. If you can get your hands on one of those tach glands I'll make it worth your while.
If Mission isn't in your party:
1. What's in this for me?
Griff: Sorry, like I said before I don't have any credits on me. And Greeta won't lend me any credits. I mean, it's like he doesn't trust me to pay him back or something. But you come through on this and I promise you'll get a huge payday down the road. Two... no! Three thousand credits! How's that sound?
Otherwise:
Mission: Griff, are you blind? Can't you see you're talking to a Jedi? We're out here trying to save the galaxy! We can't waste time on this!
2. I don't have time for this, I'm trying to save the galaxy!
2. Sorry, Griff - I don't trust you.
Griff: Please, you have to help me! I... I promised this guy from the Exchange a sample of Tarisian ale! If I don't come through for him he's going to break my legs... or worse!
1. Don't worry, Griff, we'll get those tach glands for you.
2. That's what you get for dealing with the Exchange.
Griff: Yeah, I knew you'd come through for me! You won't regret this... you'll see! Uh... just... just don't take too long, okay? This guy from the Exchange could stop by any day. I kind of told him I already had the stuff, so if he shows up and I'm empty handed... well, let's just say I really, really hope it doesn't come to that.
Griff: Come on, Mission - I'm your brother! I'm family! You can't turn your back on me!
Griff: Come on, I'm Mission's brother! I'm her family! I mean, think what she'll do if you just let the Exchange kill me! Besides, this is a sweet deal!
Mission: Forget it, Griff, I'm not falling for that line again. You'll have to find your own way out of this mess!
Griff: You bring me a single tach gland and you not only save my life but you get a piece of this great business opportunity! I mean, you can't pass this up! Think about it and you'll see I'm right.
Mission's Brother Griff wants you to bring him a tach gland so he can brew up some Tarisian ale to sell to a 'business associate'. He's promised you a healthy reward if you come through for him.
If you speak to Mission before bringing him a tach gland:
Dialog
Mission: Hey, there. What can I do for you?
1. I want to talk to you about your brother.
Mission: I'm worried about Griff and his latest plan. I've got a bad feeling about it. He doesn't know anything about brewing Tarisian ale. And now he's gotten himself mixed up with the Exchange. Sometimes Griff can be so stupid! Part of me just wants to let him get what's coming to him.
1. You can't turn your back on your own brother!
2. You said it, Mission! Let the Exchange take care of that slime!
Mission: Why not? He turned his back on me! He abandoned me on Taris, so maybe I should just leave him high and dry now!
Mission: Maybe a couple broken knee-caps will do him some good! Maybe that's the kind of jolt he needs to turn his life around! Only... what if they do something worse? They might kill him! I don't want him to die; he doesn't deserve that. But I can't just keep supporting his crazy schemes. Someone has to teach him a lesson!
1. You have to stick by your family, Mission. Even if they're slime sometimes.
Points Gained: +2 2. No one can teach him this lesson, Mission. He has to learn it himself.
Mission: Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm not going to change him. Griff is going to keep on being Griff.
Mission: Maybe if we get these tach glands for him things will work out. Or maybe he'll finally see the light and turn over a new leaf. I know it's not likely, but it's all I have to hope for.
Otherwise, you can make her angry at her brother:
3. Whatever happens, he brought it on himself.
Points Gained: -2 4. What do you care? He left you to die on Taris!
Mission: You're right! Griff may be my brother, but he deserted me on Taris. As far as I'm concerned that pretty much breaks any bond we had!
Mission: I'm not going to worry about Griff anymore. Like you said, he brought this on himself! Besides, he's always treated me like garbage. Now it's payback time!
In either case she repeats the last line if you try to talk to her about your brother again.
The only place to find tach is on Kashyyyk. Go to the Czerka Hunting Ground in the Upper Shadowlands and speak to Commander Dern to express interest in some work to harvest tach, or simply unlock the center metal box on the southwest side of the Czerka camp and take the three tach glands within, before returning:
Dialog
Griff: You're back! I knew you'd come through for me. I knew I could count on you! Uh... you do have a tach gland for me, right?
3. I've changed my mind, I'm not doing this.
4. I'll be back when I have that tach gland.
Griff: Changed your mind? No... you can't! Eh... do you know what this guy from the Exchange will do to me if I don't come through? Come on, you have to help me here! You bring me a single tach gland and you not only save my life but you get a piece of this great business opportunity! I mean, you can't pass this up! Think about it and you'll see I'm right.
Griff: Yeah, I knew you'd come through for me! You won't regret this... you'll see! Uh... just... just don't take too long, okay? This guy from the Exchange could stop by any day. I kind of told him I already had the stuff, so if he shows up and I'm empty handed... well, let's just say I really, really hope it doesn't come to that.
Otherwise:
2. I'm not giving you the gland until I see some credits!
Griff: Sorry, like I said before I don't have any credits on me. And Greeta won't lend me any. It's like he doesn't trust me to pay him back or something. But you come through on this and I promise you'll get a huge payday down the road. Two... no! Three thousand credits! How's that sound?
1. Here's the tach gland. Take it.
Griff: Come to papa you sweet simian organ! It may not look like much, but once I turn this into a bottle of Tarisian ale it'll end up being worth a fortune!
Griff: Thanks, Mission. You won't regret helping me out with this!
Mission: Please, Griff. Let this be the last time. No more cons. No more scams. No more schemes. That's all I ask.
Mission: This wasn't my idea, Griff. If it was up to me I'd let the Exchange deal with you!
Griff: Hey, sis, no need to worry about that. I've turned over a new leaf. From now on I'm going to stay out of trouble and do things right. And once we've cornered the market on Tarisian ale good things will be heading my way. Then I'll make it up to you, Mission. Just wait - you'll see!
Griff: Geez, sis - that's pretty harsh. Come on, I know things haven't been great between us but when I corner the market on Tarisian ale I'll make things up to you!
Mission: Forget it, Griff. Don't you understand? It's too late - you're dead to me now. I don't want anything more to do with you. Ever.
Griff: Okay, that's the way you want it. But when I'm rich you're going to regret saying that!
Griff: You know, once we synthesize this and start brewing Tarisian ale in mass quantities we're going to be looking for some investors. You give me a couple hundred credits and I can get you in on the ground floor. You'll get a return of... oh, at least twenty times your investment!
1. You already promised me a few thousand credits.
Griff: Hey, don't worry, you'll get your credits as soon as we start mass producing that Tarisian ale. I just wanted to know if you were interested in an even bigger payoff.
3. I've done more than enough for you already!
Griff: You don't know much about business, do you? When an opportunity like this comes along you have to jump at it! Come on, what do you say?
2. Okay, here's 200 credits.
Griff: Wise move. I can see you really understand how business works: now, when you see your chance, you jump at it! Heh, that's my motto. I better get started on brewing that ale. Meet me back here later and I'll have a downpayment on what I owe you.
Credits Lost: 200
However, you gain nothing from giving him these credits, so you should not do so:
1. I don't need business advice from you, Griff.
Points Gained: -2 2. Ask me again and that tach gland won't be the only freshly harvested organ around here!
Griff: Whoa - no need to get violent. I can take the hint. I was just trying to do you a favor, but I see you're not interested.
Griff: It's your loss. I better get started brewing that ale. Meet me back here later and I'll give you a downpayment on what I owe you.
Mission's Brother Griff rushed off to brew up a batch of Tarisian ale to deliver to his business connection. However, the credits he promised you haven't materialized yet. He did say you could meet him later in the Czerka supply shop on Tatooine to collect the debt.
If you haven't made Mission angry at her brother and you speak to her again:
Mission: I appreciate everything you've done for Griff. You know that, right? I just hope things work out for him this time around. I guess we'll find out when he meets up with us at the Czerka Corp shop. If he's got those credits he promised you then maybe there's hope for him yet.
However, after exiting and returning, Griff is nowhere to be seen and Greeta Holda has a message for you:
Dialog
Greeta Holda: You're that friend of Griff, right? He gave me a message for you.
Mission: I don't like the sound of this.
Greeta Holda: He told me to tell you that he made a mistake brewing the Tarisian ale. It didn't work out right for some reason.
1. What kind of mistake?
2. I'm not surprised. Anything else?
Greeta Holda: He told me the tach gland was ruined. And he said he wasn't going to stick around and have to face his Exchange contact.
1. You mean he's gone?
2. You just let him go?
3. Did he say where he was going?
Greeta Holda: He hopped on board the last shuttle. I don't know where he was heading, but I can't say I'm sorry he's gone. He was one of the worst employees I ever had. He was always on a break, he mixed up orders and I think he might have been stealing from me.
2. That cheapskate owes me credits!
Greeta Holda: You and a dozen others. I was smart enough not to give him an advance on his wage, but you can kiss your credits goodbye.
1. I have to go after him!
2. That cheapskate owes me credits!
3. Good riddance!
Greeta Holda: People like Griff, they know how to disappear when they get in too deep. You won't hear from him again any time soon. Waste of time to even bother looking for him.
Mission: Damn it, Griff - won't you ever learn? How can my own flesh and blood be so stupid!
Greeta Holda: There was one last thing. He said to tell his sister goodbye. And to tell her he's sorry.
Mission's Brother Due to his own incompetence, Griff's Tarisian ale deal has turned sour. True to form, he's decided he'd rather disappear than face the wrath of his contact at the Exchange. You get the feeling both he and the credits he promised you are gone for good.
This completes the quest, but if you haven't made Mission angry at her brother and you speak to her again:
Mission: I want to thank you for helping me with Griff. You... you did everything you could for my brother. More than most people would have. I know it might look like it didn't make any difference in the end... Griff's in debt and on the run like usual. But at least I know we tried to help him.
Points Gained: +2 1. Don't give up on him, Mission. He could still change.
2. Griff's a slime ball, Mission. Accept it.
Mission: I know people can change no matter how bad they were. But I'm not holding my breath. None of us is perfect, but I've come to realize that Griff is a little less perfect than most.
Mission: Don't worry, I see all Griff's faults plainly now. None of us is perfect, but I realize he's a little less perfect than most.
Otherwise:
3. I invested a lot in Griff. I'm still looking to get some payback!
Points Gained: -2 4. If I ever see your brother again he's a dead man!
Mission: I can't say I blame you. But I'll be honest... I doubt you'll ever see Griff again. I don't even know if I'll ever see him again. Like all good con men he knows how to disappear.
Dialog
Mission: My brother is what he is, but I've learned to deal with that. I'll never forget that he looked after me when I was just a kid, but I don't feel like I owe him anything anymore.
1. So you're okay?
2. That's a very mature attitude, Mission.
3. I still hate that core-slime's guts!
Mission: I've made my peace with Griff and what he means to me. If he ever shows up again I'll deal with him, but I'm not going to dwell on my brother anymore. It's time to move forward!
Protocol Officer: Can I help you? These are the offices of Czerka Corporation. I trust you have business with the company? If this is about employment, I'm afraid all regular mining positions are full. And before you ask, we are also no longer selling hunting licenses.
