Turbolift to Fuel Depot takes you to the fuel depot's top side, where you roll out into a hallway as fuel vents through the mining tunnels below to the asteroid's surface. If you return to the door at the top end of the hallway later:
On arrival, you approach a body lying in the middle of the droid maintenance bay through the doorways to your left, on the hallway's right side. As you crouch to check for life signs, you're greeted from behind:
HK Protocol Droid: Greeting: It is a pleasure to see you alive, Master, provided my receptors are not off-focus. How may I be of assistance?
HK Protocol Droid: Greeting: It is a pleasure to see you intact, Master. How may I be of assistance?
4. I had some other questions I wanted to ask you.
HK Protocol Droid: Of course, Master. How may I be of assistance?
7. Never mind. I'll be going now.
5. I've heard enough. I'll be going now.
3. What are you?
2. What are you again?
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Proud Answer: I am an HK series protocol droid, master, skilled in trans-organic relations and communications. This model has been responsible for the facilitation of communications and termination of hostilities across the galaxy. I am fluent in over six thousand forms of communication and am also capable of nuances of expression ranging from irony to veiled threats.
2. Veiled threats?
HK Protocol Droid: Clarification: Oh, yes, Master. Sometimes the facilitation of communications and termination of hostilities requires the use of every weapon in one's... verbal arsenal. The unspoken threat of violence to a listener's loved ones, or if possible, their entire planet, can effectively break the deadlock in the most stubborn of negotiations.
1. What's a translation droid doing on Peragus?
HK Protocol Droid: Irritated Explanation: That question has been looping through my query module with alarming frequency, master, and no satisfactory answer has been forthcoming. As a result, I have chosen instead to turn my efforts to answering the question as to how I may depart this drifting disaster area as quickly as possible.
1. What have you determined?
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: It is only a matter of time before a ship or freighter docks with the Peragus facility. When that occurs, we shall depart this place... forever.
1. Wait all you want, but I'm getting out of here on my own.
2. I never said you were coming with me.
HK Protocol Droid: Condescending Retraction: I believe you will do your best, master. This facility would have to be nailed down with a droid-level precision to prevent your escape.
1. Leave "condescending" out of your speech conditionals from now on or else.
HK Protocol Droid: Placating Retraction: Oh, of course, master. Please excuse my choice of words. I did not mean to imply that you would have no choice in the matter.
HK Protocol Droid: Placating Answer: Oh, of course, Master. I shall endeavor not to forget such descriptors in the future. If I do, I assure you, it is merely a result of memory damage I have suffered since our arrival.
4. Have you seen a T3 unit?
3. Are you sure you haven't seen a T3 unit?
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Hesitant Answer: Ah. A T3 utility droid would be a common sight in this facility. It is indeed curious that I have not seen many since my arrival. However, I feel I must inform you that (droid predjudice aside), T3 models exhibit excessive individualism when not routinely memory wiped. This individualism can become such a nuisance that even a droid such as myself is tempted to reduce them to their base components - if not crush them into slag. But enough of my seemingly-irrelevant tangent. Where did you leave the droid, Master? That would logically be the best place to look.
HK Protocol Droid: Accessing Memory: Ah... yes, I believe you have asked this question before, Master. Let me see if I can recite the answer I provided the first time. Oh, yes. It was, "where did you leave the droid, Master?" If you are looking for garbage, it would be best to ask a custodial unit - not a translation droid.
1. The unit was last seen near the hangar.
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: Ah... then that would explain why such a T3 unit isn't here, Master. I believe my photoreceptors are functioning adequately enough to verify that.
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: That is all that remains of the maintenance officer, Master. At the end, he was quite incoherent from the pain, and attempts to facilitate communications with him proved useless. I heard his dying screams as the droids he tended turned on him, mining him like a piece of asteroid rock.
1. Screams?
2. Did he say anything at the end?
HK Protocol Droid: Recitation: Oh yes, Master. The record of his last moments were:
HK Protocol Droid: "...five droids... burning through the outer door... they're forcing their way into the bay... please, someone, they... oh no, they're through!"
HK Protocol Droid: "Aighhh! My leg! They've burned through my leg! I... stop! Stop! St-"
HK Protocol Droid: Addendum: His remaining attempts at communication are variations in decibel, Master, ranging from frenzied screams to gibbering, inarticulate attempts to beg for his life.
You can speak to the HK protocol droid again, but if you leave it alone then it comments:
Greeting: It is a pleasure to see you intact, Master.
Other than the HK unit, the only point of interest in the droid maintenance bay is the maintenance officer corpse:
Maintenance Officer Corpse
?
There's a Workbench through the doorways on the hallway's left side.
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: I am a survivor of the Harbinger, just as you were, Master. With the unexpected termination of my previous Master, you are the only organic which I may now serve.
Dialog
1. Who was your previous Master?
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: The captain of the Harbinger, master. I was in transit to Telos to facilitate communications and terminate hostilites... However, we did not arrive at our intended destination.
2. How did you get here from the Harbinger - and how did I?
3. Tell me everything that happened between the Harbinger and now.
1. What happened?
HK Protocol Droid: Irritated Answer: Oh, Master, it is such a long, dull story. And not terribly relevant to our current situation.
2. For a droid, you don't take orders too well. Now tell me what happened.
HK Protocol Droid: Hesitant Explanation: That has been the subject of considerable discussion since our arrival here, master. Many have attempted to claim you and this unit as salvage. I was crudely interrogated concerning our brief history together on board the Harbinger... before its communications, weapons, and engines suffered the cascade failure that disabled the ship.
1. How come I don't remember any of this?
2. And where was I when this was taking place?
HK Protocol Droid: Speculation: It is possible you were incapacitated and locked in the well-shielded cargo compartment as the Harbinger was being systematically crippled, master.
1. Incapacitated?
1. You said I was "incapacitated" when all this was going on?
HK Protocol Droid: Clarification: Yes, Master. No doubt the flurry of destruction on board the Harbinger somehow drugged you into a stupor from which you could not awaken. Most curious.
1. Drugged?! What do you mean drugged?
2. Maybe you better explain the "stupor" part.
HK Protocol Droid: Placation: Merely a turn of phrase, Master. The implication that your state was due to the result of ingesting large quantities of juma juice was unintentional. I meant to communicate only that you were somehow rendered unconscious before you were locked securely in the cargo hold.
2. Locked?
2. Care you to explain how I was locked in the cargo hold?
1. There - you said "locked" again.
3. So I wasn't sealed in the cargo hold - someone locked me in.
HK Protocol Droid: Clarification: By locked, I meant "sealed," Master. My vocabulator seems to be malfunctioning.
3. But how did I get from the Harbinger to here?
2. Fine - what happened next?
HK Protocol Droid: Recitation: Following the unusual set of coincidences that led to the cascade failure in the Harbinger's systems, we were boarded by a small freighter with unknown ID codes. It appeared that this freighter had been attacked, and the captain wanted to study it. This freighter appeared to still be spaceworthy. Your cargo compartment was breached, and you were taken on board the freighter shortly before the Harbinger's systems began to go critical. I, too, managed to board the freighter before the Harbinger's destruction. We were most fortunate to have survived, master.
Recent History: Bonus Mission The HK unit you encountered in the Peragus fuel depot suggested you were incapacitated and taken off the Harbinger on a damaged freighter called the Ebon Hawk. Apparently, the Ebon Hawk had been picked up by the Harbinger not long before this, and it looked like it had been in a battle.
Received:
100 Asked HK unit how you got from the Harbinger to here
1. Any idea what had attacked the small freighter?
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Evaluation: Master, I do not know. Judging from the damage, it had been attacked by a much larger vessel. And when it attempted to escape the Harbinger with you on board, it was fired on again.
HK Protocol Droid: Addendum: It does seem odd that such a small vessel has a high probability of attracting the attention of much larger vessels. Not a welcome trait in a freighter, to be sure.
Recent History: Bonus Mission The HK unit you encountered in the Peragus fuel depot suggested you were incapacitated and taken off the Harbinger on a freighter called the Ebon Hawk. Apparently, the Ebon Hawk had been picked up by the Harbinger not long before your kidnapping, and it looked like it had been in a battle. As the Ebon Hawk attempted to leave the Harbinger, the Harbinger fired upon it, and the freighter barely managed to make its way to Peragus.
Received:
100 Asked if HK unit had any idea what had attacked the small freighter
Dialog
2. What was this freighter that the Harbinger brought on board?
3. Why would they take me aboard?
HK Protocol Droid: Explanation: I believe it was a smuggler's vessel by the name of the 'Ebon Hawk.'
HK Protocol Droid: Speculation: As for its purpose, I do not know. Perhaps it was always its intention to play dead, then kidnap you off the Harbinger and rob me of my bounty.
1. Bounty?
HK Protocol Droid: Clarification: By bounty, I refer to your life, Master. It would pain me to see you damaged in any way. That is why the arrival of this "Ebon Hawk" caused me considerable distress.
2. And the Ebon Hawk came here?
2. Why did the Ebon Hawk come here?
3. But why would that ship have taken me off the Harbinger?
HK Protocol Droid: Apology: My memory core cannot provide a clear answer on that point, Master. Suffice to say that once we arrived at this floating rock, our situation became much clearer.
1. How so?
2. What happened once the ship arrived?
HK Protocol Droid: Explanation: Despite my market value, master, the miners were far more interested in you. It did not take long for me to ascertain the reason for this. While an HK protocol droid is a valuable piece of property, Jedi are worth much more in certain... exclusive markets across the galaxy.
HK Protocol Droid: Painful Admission: I must confess to feelings of inferiority at the speculated difference between my value and the price for your capture. I was forced to remind myself it was not due to a failing of my model or function, but because you were a Jedi.
2. Why would someone want me captured?
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: I do not know, Master. I found it curious as well. Perhaps it was due to a spectacular failing of your model and function.
1. How did they find out I was a Jedi?
HK Protocol Droid: Surprised Answer: Why, I told them, master. You are the exiled Jedi who served with Revan in the Mandalorian Wars, are you not? I hope all that has happened has not been the result of a miscommunication. If so, then the problem lies with the coreward databases, which are notoriously spotty.
2. That information wouldn't have been in coreward databases... only in Jedi archives.
HK Protocol Droid: Indignant Exclamation: Master, I am only a protocol droid! But it is part of my function to know such information and relay it to any interested parties, in the interests of terminating any potential hostiles.
1. Potential hostiles?
HK Protocol Droid: Quick Clarification: Apparently, my vocabulator has suffered some damage, master. I meant terminating any potential 'hostilities.'
1. 'Unpleasantness?' What are you talking about?
2. So what happened with the miners when we arrived?
1. I see... go on.
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: All that has happened, has been because they believe you to be a Jedi, Master. They debated what to do with you as you lay unconscious in the medical bay. One group seemed intent on selling you as property. The other group opposed this.
1. Then what happened?
HK Protocol Droid: Three standard hours after the division between the miners became apparent, accidents began to occur throughout the facility. A result of improper maintenance, I believe. These accidents coincided with the degradation of the mining droid behavioral cores... crude models are prone to such failures, resulting in murderous rampages. The mortality rate of organics in the facility rose quickly.
1. So what happened to the rest of the miners?
HK Protocol Droid: Many miners began to join you in the medical bay as a cascade of flawlessly timed detonations occurred in isolated gas pockets in the lower levels of the facility. The explosions herded the miners into emergency sections of the station, quickly and efficiently cutting them off from communications and facility control... but sadly enough, not the ventilation systems.
1. Sadly enough? What do you mean?
HK Protocol Droid: You see, the explosions had damaged specific sections of this facility's ventilation systems, causing a slow, lethal build up of toxic fumes in the dormitory level.
1. Are there any left alive?
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: I do not know, Master. Ironically enough, any miner that fled to the dormitory level to protect themselves from the droids and the explosions would find themselves in a gas-filled deathtrap.
HK Protocol Droid: It is unlikely any miners remain alive. As I said, the dormitory has been cut off from the rest of the facility... as has the hangar bay. There is no escape.
HK Protocol Droid: Defensive Answer: Master, I am a protocol droid, not a well-crafted assassination droid of unrivalled sophistication. To have carried out the actions that took place here would have required an unusual set of skills. It is highly unlikely I possess the knowledge of how to reprogram the memory cores of base-worker class droids into killing machines.
HK Protocol Droid: ...let alone to terminate the organics at this facility, utilizing only Aratech 500 series laser mining drills and explosives fashioned from proton missile cores!
1. I think you are responsible.
HK Protocol Droid: Admission: I cannot and will not attempt to change your mind, Master. I would urge you to consider that your kolto tank treatments may have caused some disorientation.
HK Protocol Droid: Conjecture: The administration of a large dose of sedatives over a short period of time would likely prove fatal to miners, although not to a Jedi. For a Jedi, it would simply render them unconscious for ease of transport. Quite inventive.
1. Inventive?! Those miners were murdered!
2. Is that pride I hear in your voice?
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: I was merely commenting on the idea itself, Master, not the execution of the idea. Though that, too, was inventive. Besides, Master, those miners intended to murder you. Or worse. Any complaints they would have at being murdered would be the highest form of hypocrisy.
HK Protocol Droid: Pitying Answer: Oh that is unfortunate, master. The hangar is sealed behind a containment field. It would be impossible to open it.
Dialog
2. Then how did the T3 unit get through it?
HK Protocol Droid: Clarifying Query: Did the T3 unit go through the door? I regret ignorance of that fact, master. Although the door could have been opened from the opposite side without much difficulty - a flaw in the emergency lockdown procedure which the automated systems have most likely corrected.
1. What about override codes?
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: Only the Peragus administration officer would have such codes, Master. If he hasn't already been murdered in an unfortunate accident, then he is trapped in the dormitory section, which has been effectively cut off from the facility by explosives.
1. Is it possible to contact him using a comlink?
HK Protocol Droid: Apology: Unfortunately, communication with the dormitory section is severed, Master... it is perhaps for the best, especially if any other accidents had occurred in that section. If that were the case, the severed comlink would have spared us the satisfaction of hearing the miner's screams as they lived out their last moments in fear and terror.
Dialog
2. Satisfaction?
HK Protocol Droid: Rapid Retraction: Why, yes, satisfaction in knowing their fate, master. It would be unfortunate if they had been slaughtered, but there would be a calm, comforting certainty that there is nothing we can do to escape until a ship arrives.
2. There must be another way to reach the dormitory.
1. There must be another way.
2. There must be a way to reach them.
3. If I crawled through mining tunnels to get here, there's likely to be other tunnels.
1. We don't know what happened to them, so we need to find out.
HK Protocol Droid: Theory: You could walk across the surface of the asteroid to the dormitory airlock, but such a route would be extremely hazardous, and I do not wish to see you damaged.
1. Those miners could be hurt or in danger - we need to make sure they're all right.
2. I only want the codes those miners have - and when I have the codes, I'll dispose of them and leave this rock.
Light Side Points Gained: +2
Dark Side Points Gained: -2
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Warning: Master, continued exploration of this facility may place you in unnecessary danger. I encourage you to return to the medical bay and wait for retrieval from a vessel that is no doubt on the way even as we continue this pointless conversation.
1. I'm going to find those miners, and you're going to help me.
2. Another suggestion like that, and I'll turn you into scrap.
3. I'm your Master, and I'm giving you an order to assist me.
HK Protocol Droid: Weary Resignation: Very well, master. But there is very little that I can do. You see, the airlock is sealed by a code.
1. All right. So how do I get the code to the airlock?
2. This just keeps getting better and better. Who's got the damn code?
HK Protocol Droid: Correction: Oh, I already possess the code, Master, but I am afraid that it will do you no good.
Recover Ebon Hawk The HK protocol droid in the Peragus droid maintenance bay told you the force field to the hangar bay is impossible to open. The only one with access codes to open it is the administration officer... but he's trapped in the dormitory level on the other side of the facility. You'll need to spacewalk across the asteroid to reach the dormitory airlock.
HK Protocol Droid: Recitation: You need to open the airlock, and use the construction scaffolding on the exterior of the asteroid to make your way to the dormitory section. Of course, in order to accomplish that, you would need to unlock the maintenance console. And without the maintenance officer to speak the voiceprint protocol, that is impossible.
HK Protocol Droid: Condescending Explanation: Master, the console governing the droid maintenance area... and the airlock... is voice-printed.
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Musing: In the last days of his life, the maintenance officer was quite careful about voice protocols, bordering on paranoid obsession.
HK Protocol Droid: Conjecture: I suspect once he realized something was wrong in the facility, he voice-locked the droid bay functions. A prudent measure, but in the end he met the same fate as the rest of the organics.
1. Voiceprinted?
HK Protocol Droid: Explanation: Yes, Master. Many consoles have voice recognition sensors built into their systems, so that only selected individuals can unlock them.
2. You said you already have the code?
3. But you do know the code.
HK Protocol Droid: Condescending Explanation: Oh, yes, Master, the code is "Maintenance Control: Voiceprint ID: R1-B5," but unless the maintenance officer speaks the code, it is useless.
1. Leave "condescending" out of your speech conditionals from now on or else.
HK Protocol Droid: Placating Answer: Oh, of course, Master. I shall endeavor not to forget such descriptors in the future. If I do, I assure you, it is merely a result of memory damage I have suffered since our arrival.
2. Then how can I bypass the voiceprint?
1. Fine. Now tell me how to get off this rock.
3. If the maintenance officer is dead, how can I get him to speak the code?
2. So how can I bypass this voiceprint?
HK Protocol Droid: Answer: Master, you cannot. You are trapped here, just as I am. There is nothing to do except patiently wait for whatever the future has in store for us.
2. Never mind, then. I'll be going now.
Voiceprint Protocol The only exit from this level is through an airlock sealed with a voiceprint protocol. The HK unit knows the code, but the owner of the voice, the maintenance officer, is dead. You need some way of recording his voice and then playing it back to unlock the voiceprint on the airlock terminal. Maybe Atton knows of a way.
If you return to Atton using the Turbolift to Administration Level to tell him you need to open an airlock, but it's sealed with a voiceprint protocol by the maintenance officer:
Atton: Voiceprint? Great - that means he'd have to speak the code. And he's dead, right?
Dialog
1. It looks that way.
Atton: There's ways to beat voiceprints, though. If you can get samples of his voice and the right words, you should be able to fake the voiceprint code, if you know what it is. You know, I overheard the maintenance officer getting chewed out by the security officer. You might want to check the security office on this level and see if there's any voice samples stored in the logs. And maybe there's samples of the code in the maintenance officer's holo logs, if you can find a way to record them.
If you already have the sonic imprint sensor, then you get no journal update:
1. I have a sonic sensor and the code - I just need to find the right words to record.
Atton: That's a start - see if you can find any recordings where the maintenance officer is speaking, and try to piece together the words to unlock the voiceprint.
Voiceprint Protocol Atton suggested that if you had a recording device, you might be able to record fragments of the maintenance officer's voice from holologs and play it back to break the code. All you need is a recording device - maybe there's one in the fuel depot area.
After activating this quest, if you get the sonic imprint sensor from the plasteel cylinder by the Workbench across the hall:
Voiceprint Protocol With the sonic imprint sensor, you might be able to record pieces of the maintenance officer's voice from holologs and use them to open the airlock door.
Received:
50 Received sonic imprint sensor
Once you ask the HK unit what's that body there, you can record the maintenance officer's last words:
1. [Sonic Sensor] Can you play back the maintenance officer's last words?
1. [Sonic Sensor] Can you repeat that?
As Atton suggested, you can also record the maintenance officer's voice by checking security records at the desk back in the administration level's Security Room, and accessing maintenance logs in the fuel depot's Droid Control Station:
3. [Sonic Sensor] Mining droid maintenance logs.
5. [Sonic Sensor] Access Log 253-15: Voiceprint ID
Voiceprint Protocol You were able to get a third of the voiceprint code from one of the holologs. Now you just need to find other fragments.
Voiceprint Protocol You were able to get a second part of the voiceprint code from one of the holologs. Now you just need to find one last fragment, and you should have the complete code.
Voiceprint Protocol You now have a complete set of the maintenance officer's voice fragments - enough to splice together the code. All you need to do is go to the maintenance officer terminal and activate it.
Received:
50 Got a third of voiceprint code
Received:
50 Got second part of voiceprint code
Received:
50 Got complete voiceprint code
Otherwise, if you asked the HK unit about the body before looking for a way into the Peragus hangar bay, then you already know it can mimic voices and you can ask it to speak the voice code then, otherwise you can also ask that after it's recited the maintenance officer's last words:
4. You can mimic voices. Can't you speak the code?
2. Wait - if you can playback his voice, can't you speak the voice code?
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Objection: Master! To commit such an act would be in violation of the ethics programming most droids are believed to possess. I am afraid there is nothing that can be done.
1. Believed to possess?
HK Protocol Droid: Irritated Statement: Master, if you insist on echoing everything I say, this already tedious conversation is in danger of becoming even longer.
HK Protocol Droid: Clarification: But yes, most droids are believed to possess ethics programming. Such programming would prevent me from using my incredible talents to break a voiceprint code.
2. [Persuade (5)]
2. [Persuade + Sonic Sensor (5)]
3. [Persuade (5)]
3. [Persuade + Sonic Sensor (5)]
2. The fact you can mimic voices is pretty impressive. What would it sound like if you did speak the code to the console?
3. I understand if your limited functionality prevents you from mimicking the maintenance officer's voice accurately.
2. Mimicking voices is rare in protocol droids. What would it sound like if you did speak the command?
3. I understand if your limited functionality prevents you from mimicking the maintenance officer's voice accurately.
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Proud Answer: Master, I believe my vocabulator is working adequately enough to accommodate your request.
HK Protocol Droid: Irritated Objection: Master, there is nothing wrong with my communications functionality. I will prove it.
HK Protocol Droid: Recitation: "Maintenance Control: Voiceprint ID: R1-B5." There. Was that sufficient, Master?
If you don't have a sonic imprint sensor:
1. Can you follow me and say that again?
HK Protocol Droid: Alarmed Objection: Oh, Master, no. I might inadvertently speak such a command near a console and accidentally unlock something I shouldn't. I was merely speaking such to prove to you that I could - it is a trait I am quite proud of.
Otherwise:
1. Yes, I think that's all I'll need.
1. Looks like I'll need to find some way to carry your voice there - or record it.
HK Protocol Droid: Confused Query: I am sorry, Master. Were you speaking to yourself?
Voiceprint Protocol With the sonic imprint sensor, you were able to trick the HK unit into playing back the code in the maintenance officer's voice. Now that you have the code, it should be easy to open the airlock.
Received:
250 Tricked HK unit into playing back code in maintenance officer's voice
Maximum experience is received by completing the code yourself, then tricking the HK unit into playing it back as well (but not vice versa). Either way, you can now enter the code at droid control's maintenance station:
Maintenance Station: :: Beeping from Droid Console. ::
Voiceprint Protocol You used the sonic imprint sensor to unlock the door leading to the airlock. From there, you should be able to reach the dormitory section where the miners are.
Received:
250 Entered voiceprint code
Maintenance Station: VOICE RECOGNITION CONFIRMED MAINTENANCE AUTHORIZATION ACTIVE FULL SYSTEM ACCESS GRANTED
1. Open door to airlock with maintenance officer override.
Maintenance Station: The hatch to the airlock is now open.
Received:
250 Used sonic imprint sensor
Received:
250 Unlocked door to airlock
Otherwise, you can simply destroy the maintenance station console:
Voiceprint Protocol You took the direct approach and destroyed the console rather than deciphering the voiceprint puzzle.
Through the doorways on the left side of the first hallway below the turbolift from the mining tunnels, there's a Workbench in the middle of the back left wall, with a plasteel cylinder to the bottom left and three broken droids in the top left corner:
With the protocol droid's help, I've finished work on the sonic imprint sensors. I've installed them in the mining droids, but I'm locking up the original here to prevent the other miners from using its ability to record and playback voices to override the droid's voiceprint protocols.
This is your first chance to upgrade your Vibroblade and Miner Uniform, although at level 4 your options to create upgrade items for melee weapons and armor are limited.
Beyond the door at the first hallway's bottom end there's the walkway along the top side of the fuel depot, where two Mark I mining droids, two Mark I excavator droids and a maintenance droid roam:
Although your main character may now be level 4, enemies (and containers) spawned throughout the fuel depot when T3-M4 first entered it, back when you were only level 2.
The maintenance droid repairs any damage inflicted on other droids so destroy it first, ideally with a ranged weapon, Force power or grenade: once destroyed it explodes, inflicting 10 piercing damage unless a Reflex save is made against DC 15, halving damage.
A Minor Sonic Detonator is only received if one is unused by the excavator droid. To your left, the walkway's right end is blocked by three containment fields:
This force field cuts the fuel depot off from the hangar bay, but you don't see anyway to open it or get around it.
After exiting the first hallway's bottom end, to your right the walkway goes past a damaged door then a low security door in its top wall. As you approach the damaged door, the door at the walkway's left end opens ahead, revealing two Mark II mining droids:
Both doors can be opened using a Plasma Torch, so save any mines:
Damaged Door
Lock DC
100 (80)
Resist
20
Vitality
20
This door's locking mechanism is damaged beyond repair. You'll need to blast it open with a mine.
Low Security Door
Lock DC
21 (1)
Resist

Vitality

Both doors open on the same room, which has another Mark II mining droid in its bottom left corner.
Received:
100 Killed Mining Droid Mark II (level 4)
The bottom room at the walkway's left end has the door to the airlock in its left wall, but the top room through the doorway to your right contains a Mark I excavator droid, a maintenance droid and a Mark II mining droid:
The Mark II mining droid has just 14 Constitution (-4), so it only has 11 Vitality and 6 Fortitude (-2).
Received:
75 Killed Excavator Droid Mark I (level 4)
Received:
100 Killed Maintenance Droid (level 4)
100 Killed Mining Droid Mark II (level 4)
The top room has the door to the Droid Control Station in its left wall, and a turbolift to the administration level at its top end. If you use the turbolift, then the emergency blast door on the administration level's right side opens and you can return to Atton:
Glad you survived the tunnels. Find anything when you were down there?
1. I found a... talkative... protocol droid down in the fuel depot.
Dialog
Atton: Yeah? Did you blow it up?
1. No, I thought about it, though.
2. Why would I do that?
Atton: Yeah well, watch your back. Droids can't be trusted.
Atton: Because droids can't be trusted.
1. And you can?
Atton: Look - I could have let you rot in those mining tunnels, and all I get from you is backtalk. You know what? I don't trust you. For all I know, you could have caused all this trouble - in fact, you did, just by being a Jedi! So before you start accusing me of anything, Jedi, maybe you better take a look at what you've done.
3. Never mind - stay here and complain, I've got exploring to do.
2. The miners may still be alive, they're trapped in the dormitory section.
Atton: So they are still alive - but the dormitory comm isn't picking up anything. Is there any way to get to them?
1. None that I know of.
Atton: There may be some emergency route to get to them - still, maybe we should leave them where they are and try to get to the hangar. If they wanted to sell you to the Exchange, we should make a clean getaway while we can.
1. I'm not leaving them trapped and helpless on this facility.
2. That's not a bad idea. If I can get to the hangar without them, I will.
Light Side Points Gained: +1
Dark Side Points Gained: -1
Atton: You mean like they did to you? You're pretty forgiving.
Atton: My feelings exactly. The sooner we're off this orbiting mine field, the better.
Beyond the top left door below the Turbolift to Administration Level on the fuel depot's left side, there's a room with a plasteel cylinder in its top right corner and a maintenance station console by its top wall:
Maintenance Station: PERAGUS MAINTENANCE CONTROL RECORD LOGS
Access Log 253-10: Sonic Imprint Sensor
Maintenance Officer: [Static] "...finished the sonic imprint sensor prototype for the mining droids. Everyone knows they need an upgrade."
Maintenance Officer: "The sensor should allow me to issue voice commands to them rather than manually adjusting their routine each time the mining specifications change."
Maintenance Officer: "I've been keeping the sensor in the maintenance workshop for the time being. I wanted to test it first by recording and playing back some simple voice commands."
Access Log 253-11: Ebon Hawk Droids
Maintenance Officer: [Static] "...finished my examination of the droids from the Ebon Hawk freighter. The T3 unit looked like it had shut itself down."
Maintenance Officer: "...the protocol droid, however, made up for it. It talked my ear off for most of the hour, asking questions about the facility, the personnel, and so on."
Maintenance Officer: "Still, it wanted to make itself useful, so I put it to work until its Master wakes up from the med bay. It seems to have some skills in speaking to droid behavior cores, so..."
Maintenance Officer: "...there's been some trouble with some of the mining droids, so I'm signing off."
Access Log 253-12: Jedi
Maintenance Officer: "...been speaking to the protocol droid about the Jedi in medbay. I thought they all had gone away or had been killed in the Jedi Civil War."
Maintenance Officer: 'The droid told me that his master is the only Jedi he knows of in all the galaxy and that the Jedi had served in the Mandalorian Wars, almost ten years ago.'
Maintenance Officer: 'That would have meant that the Jedi served under Revan for a time, and that can't be good. Everyone knows that all the Jedi who followed Revan fell to the dark side.'
Maintenance Officer: "That would have meant that the Jedi served under Revan for a time - maybe the Jedi knows what happened to Revan after the end of the Jedi Civil War."
Access Log 253-13: Exchange Bounty
Maintenance Officer: '...been too busy to enter a log for a while. There's been more and more accidents since the Jedi arrived. The miners are starting to get restless, especially Coorta.'
Maintenance Officer: "Coorta said the Exchange is offering a huge bounty on Jedi Knights and that we could make a fortune if we sell the Jedi to Nar Shaddaa."
Maintenance Officer: 'Security shot down that idea pretty quick, but I don't think Coorta and his men are going to give up that easy.'
Maintenance Officer: 'I mentioned the trouble to the Jedi's protocol droid, and he seemed concerned about his master's safety. I told the droid not to worry, that Coorta wouldn't...'
Access Log 253-15: Voiceprint ID
Maintenance Officer: "...when the dock officer reported the droids repairing the Ebon Hawk, I installed a voiceprint ID on the droid console system."
Maintenance Officer: "*Someone* ordered them to repair that freighter, but I can't find a trace of the order anywhere."
Maintenance Officer: 'If anyone tries that again, they won't be able to do it from this terminal unless I let them. The voiceprint should cut any user off from the central functions unless I give the code.'
Access Log 253-16: Security Problems
Maintenance Officer: "The maintenance check on the droids didn't help. If anything, the accidents have increased."
Maintenance Officer: 'Security interrogated me about the droids, and they weren't too happy with my answers. I don't understand it, though - these aren't combat models, they shouldn't even know how to attack.'
Maintenance Officer: 'I can't help but think, what if somebody staged the initial trouble with the mining droids just to get them all sent to maintenance? And then did something to them?'
Maintenance Officer: "I think security's right - someone's trying to sabotage this facility, and they're using the droids to do it. But why?"
7. Return to main console functions.
2. Access emergency subroutines.
Maintenance Station: EMERGENCY ROUTINES EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN IN EFFECT
1. Check for exits from fuel depot.
Maintenance Station: CONTAINMENT FIELD: ACTIVE ADMINISTRATION TURBOLIFT: ACTIVE EMERGENCY TURBOLIFT: SHUTDOWN AIRLOCK: ACTIVE
2. Check the other exits from fuel depot.
Containment Field
1. Check Containment Field.
Maintenance Station: CONTAINMENT FIELD ACTIVATED BREACH IN FUEL LINES DETECTED ACCESS TO HANGAR BAY DENIED
1. Trace source of the breach.
Maintenance Station: The system is registering a blast in one of the main fuel lines. The containment field has been activated to keep the explosion isolated within the hangar bay and fuel lines.
Maintenance Station: [Awareness] That would imply that the fuel lines connect directly to the hangar bay - if you could get access to the fuel lines, you could bypass the Containment Field entirely.
1. Check fuel lines.
Maintenance Station: Although the fuel lines are currently sealed because no ships are docked with the facility, they would open automatically if a ship did arrive. That would mean you would have to board the docked ship and go through the fuel line to reach the hangar, however, which would be an extreme means of gaining access.
Turbolifts
2. Check Turbolift to Administration Level.
3. Check Turbolift to Mining Tunnels.
Maintenance Station: TURBOLIFT TO ADMINISTRATION ACCESS TO FUEL DEPOT DENIED ACCESS TO ADMINISTRATION PERMITTED
Maintenance Station: TURBOLIFT TO MINING TUNNELS DETONATIONS DETECTED VENTING SYSTEMS ACTIVATED ACCESS DENIED
Maintenance Station: The turbolift to the Administration Level is programmed to automatically open only when entering administration from the fuel depot.
Maintenance Station: The turbolift door to the mining tunnels has been locked down and it cannot be opened. You cannot use it to re-enter the tunnels.
Airlock
4. Check Airlock.
Maintenance Station: The airlock door has been sealed from inside this level, as if to prevent someone from coming in from the outside.
Maintenance Station: ACCESS TO AIRLOCK DENIED
1. Open door to airlock.
Maintenance Station: Strangely enough, this console has been voiceprinted. Not only does it require a code, but the code has to be spoken in the user's voice, most likely the voice of the maintenance officer. Until the voiceprint ID is given, you cannot give commands through the terminal, though you can search through the records, cameras, and perform checks on various systems.
Maintenance Station: COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM DAMAGED INOPERATIVE
1. [Repair] Run diagnostic on damaged systems.
Maintenance Station: DIAGNOSTIC RUNNING... SIGNAL UNIT DESTROYED COMM SYSTEM FROM FUEL DEPOT: INOPERATIVE
Maintenance Station: The comm system's circuit has been severed with a laser drill, and there is too much interference in the asteroid rock to allow you to contact any other level via comlink.
Maintenance Station: [Failure] Insufficient spikes to perform slice.
Maintenance Station: [Success] The fuel depot map can now be referenced on the journal screen. All exits, rooms, and important areas will have their own ID signatures labeled on the map.
If you use the maintenance station in the Droid Control Station to access cameras, then fuel line sensors:
Maintenance Station: CAMERA CONTROLS
Dialog
1. Containment field camera.
3. Fuel line sensors.
Maintenance Station: The droid maintenance area has been sealed by the emergency lockdown. However, new programming has been introduced to keep it from opening even if the lockdown is cancelled. There's no way to shut down the field that you can see from this terminal. This means anyone inside the facility is effectively cut off from the hangar bay.
Maintenance Station: This fuel line deposits fuel into docked starships. Since no ships are currently docked at the Peragus facility, it is sealed. There appears to be a damaged T3 unit dumped into the fuel line - it may be your missing T3 unit. There is also some sort of metal case next to the T3 unit, but you can't make it out - it may have been deliberately dumped down there.
2. Maintenance level camera.
4. Airlock camera.
Maintenance Station: CAMERA CONTROLS
Maintenance Station: CAMERA CONTROLS: AIRLOCK
Rescue T3-M4 You found T3-M4, damaged, in one of the fuel line pipes in the Peragus fuel depot. He looks damaged, but you have no idea how he got there.
Received:
50 Accessed fuel line sensors
Received:
100 Found T3-M4, damaged, in one of fuel lines in depot
If you return to the HK protocol droid back in the Droid Maintenance bay:
3. I found a T3 unit in one of the fuel pipes. It looks damaged.
Dialog
HK Protocol Droid: Alarmed Query: Indeed? Master, how is it possible that a T3 unit got dumped in such a place like a piece of unwanted garbage?
HK Protocol Droid: Thoughtful Extrapolation: Perhaps it ran afoul of the other droids in this facility, and was attacked. Most distressing. It is too bad that there is no way to reach the droid from here, Master, otherwise you might be able to determine what happened to it.
Once you have a Computer Spike from a container or created at the Workbench, you can use the Turbolift to Administration Level to return to its medical bay to investigate the Medical Bay Murders, accessing patient treatment to check and then track the last patient treatment request to discover the ID signature of the terminal that transmitted the lethal medication order. You can then return here to the fuel depot's Droid Control Station:
1. Check system ID signature.
Dialog
Maintenance Station: [Success] This computer matches the console signature from where the sedative command was issued that killed all the miners in the medical bay. The order was given from this terminal a few minutes before the emergency lockdown took place. Numerous safety overrides were by-passed under the guise of issuing "emergency treatment." Furthermore, it appears two cameras within the medical bay were linked to this terminal, then locked into place: the camera to the morgue, and the camera in the room with the kolto tanks.
Maintenance Station: There is no record of who issued these commands, but whoever issued the command have had to have full access to the terminal.
Medical Bay Murders: Bonus Mission You have tracked down the terminal used to poison the miners to a console within the Peragus fuel depot. There is no record of who used the terminal, however.
Once floating mines detect you they approach and explode, inflicting 1-6 piercing damage unless a Reflex save is made against DC 15, halving damage. Ideally you should destroy them with a ranged weapon, Force power or grenade.
Received:
100 Killed Floating Mine (4) (level 4)
The security door in this room's back left wall remains locked until you complete the Voiceprint Protocol and use the Droid Control Station next door to enter the code, then open this door with the maintenance officer's override... or you just destroy the console. You can then open the airlock inner door yourself, but as you approach the airlock outer door beyond:
In order to exit the airlock, you will need the space suit stored in the locker in this room. It should equip automatically when you select the outer airlock.
However, if you select the airlock outer door you'll find you actually need to get the space suit from the storage locker in the bottom left corner yourself:
You will need a space suit to exit the airlock.
Storage Locker
Space Suit
This is a standard model space suit used to protect its wearer from the cold vacuum of space.
Because of its design, anyone wearing the suit will have to unequip their weapons.
Once you exit, the airlock door will seal and lock behind you.
HK Protocol Droid: Greeting: It is a pleasure to see you alive, Master, provided my receptors are not off-focus. How may I be of assistance?
