Map of the secret academy

Meeting Chamber

After entering the Polar Plateau Interior and speaking to Atris, she exits the meeting chamber to return to her Meditation Chamber on the right side of the academy, leaving you at its exit on the left side, flanked by a Handmaiden Sister to either side. If you speak to them, or any other Handmaiden Sister in the academy:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Why have you approached me?
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Do all these women look alike? Heh. Not like I'm complaining. I mean, it's... well, it's, uh, interesting.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: They are Echani. It is not unusual for their children to share similar features from the same parents.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: If you have a reason for approaching me, speak it.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Never mind. I'll be going now.

You don't need to speak to them, but after your meeting with Atris there may be one reason why you'd want to do so:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You have returned. Why? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I'm looking for a fight.

You'll also have plenty of chances to initiate this as you ask questions. If you've yet to free your party from Prison and you ask about them, then you can be told about Atton's Echani training, which gives you later opportunities to gain or lose influence and move closer to the light or dark side of the Force when you next speak to Atton:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I'm searching for my friends.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You will find them in the main irrigation channel room in the northern part of the plateau interior. The particle emitters there that once governed the flow of water to Telos can double as force cages.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Then shut them off and free them. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I plan to set them free.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: It is not part of my duties. Free them yourself, then you must leave this place. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You shall not be challenged. As I have said, you will find them in the irrigation room in the northern part of the complex.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. Very well. I'll be going now.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. So they are prisoners. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Why did you imprison them? We meant no harm. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. You better not have harmed them, or else.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: They were caged for their safety until we could determine your intent, exile. Atris cautioned us against your tactics, fearing that your allies would create a distraction. Your companions gave us little trouble, however. The male could have presented some challenge if he had resisted, but he chose not to.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Who? Atton? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. What about me? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. No offense to Atton, but I think you're mistaken.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: We have some training in dealing with Jedi. You would have posed little threat. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You are the one who is mistaken. It requires you know what to look for.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. And Atton would have? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. That sounds like a challenge to me.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: He has had some Echani training. He masks it well, but when you were in danger, his mask dropped into a stance we know well.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. You must be mistaken. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. I could have taken you by myself.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You are the one who is mistaken. It requires you know what to look for.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Where would he have gotten that training? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Another comment like that, and you're asking for a fight.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I do not know. The Echani forms are known to be taught to military special forces throughout the galaxy. If the source is a mystery to you, perhaps you should ask him. It would be wise to know those you travel with.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. The Ebon Hawk - where is it?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Your ship is stored in the hangar. Atris has given you permission to leave this place - and not to return. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Your ship is stored in the hangar. Atris has given you permission to leave this place - and permission to return, if you remain in her service.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I had some questions for you. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I had some other questions for you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You may ask.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I had some questions about Atris.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: The mistress? What of her?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Where is Atris? I want to speak to her again. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I want to fight her... but I'll settle for you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: She is meditating, and she does not wish to be disturbed. Your presence here has troubled her, and I hope you do not choose to trouble her further.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. What can you tell me about her?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: She leads us. As she rebuilds Telos, she rebuilds the Order... and through them, the galaxy.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. And how does she plan to do that?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: We serve the Jedi, we do not question them. Yet... Atris has told us that the work here at Telos may pay for similar efforts in many worlds along the Rim that were destroyed when the Jedi turned on each other. She has said the Jedi Order needs such a foundation if it is to rebuild. She faults the teaching of many of the Jedi Masters as the spark of the Jedi Civil War.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Indeed? A most curious reason for a war.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris has said that if Revan and Malak had been properly instructed in the ways of the Jedi, they never would have fallen... and nor would you, exile.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I chose to go to war, not because I was trained to do so.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: But were the choices you had dictated by your training? A curious question, difficult to answer.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Oh, please. At least ease off the cryptic talk until we're back on the ship.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris has said the training of the Jedi was flawed... and the Jedi Civil War was proof of this.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. And what does Atris consider proper training? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. High talk for Atris, considering she never had a Padawan.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: That... is unknown to me. I have never observed Atris to teach Jedi, nor would I wish to.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Yes... to teach, one needs students. I have seen few of those since our arrival.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris has chosen instead to focus her efforts on galactic recovery. Once the galaxy breathes again, disciples will come.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I did not "fall." She knows nothing. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Atris knows nothing - and she will transmit her ignorance to anyone who follows her. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. She'll need help if she tries - she knows nothing about training Jedi.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: She predicted you would say as much - she seems to know you quite well. Perhaps you are the one who knows nothing.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Perhaps I should teach you a lesson.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I want to know about this place.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: This was once a mighty irrigation center for Telos, it survived the orbital bombardment of the Sith... though the inhabitants did not.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Ancient irrigation channels still lie beneath the surface of Telos, awaiting to be used again for the reconstruction efforts, controlled from this facility. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Ancient irrigation channels still lie beneath the surface of Telos, waiting to be used again for the reconstruction efforts, controlled from this facility.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: So... Atris resides within the frozen heart of this world.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: That is a... peculiar way of seeing it, but it can be described by such an abstract, yes.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. But why is Atris here?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Shortly before the destruction of Dantooine by the forces of the traitor Jedi Malak, Atris had many Jedi artifacts and knowledge transported here secretly.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Why here? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Why were the relics brought here?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Even the Sith prefer live prey to scavenging a corpse. She thought that a world already savaged by the Sith would not prove a target a second time. It was a place where the artifacts and the teachings of the Jedi could be kept safely if the Sith could not be turned aside.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. How did she know Dantooine would be destroyed? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. How did Atris know Dantooine would be destroyed?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: The Jedi Council sensed it, Master Vrook, Master Vandar... but it was too late to do much except make arrangements for evacuation. It was a dark day for the Order. Many on Dantooine did not survive... Jedi or not. Atris would not speak for many days after the attack, and we feared our mistress was lost to us. In time, she regained her voice and her strength. She brought the artifacts and the teachings of the Jedi here and has kept them safe.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Artifacts?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Yes, many relics from Dantooine, some which predate even the destruction of Ossus. She was not able to save all, but she saved enough.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: If these relics predate Ossus, then she has saved much knowledge... and much of the Jedi teachings.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: She was able to bring them here before the academy's destruction. It was a fortunate thing... she was not able to save everything.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. What's Ossus?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Ossus was once the home of much of the Jedi teaching and knowledge... it was destroyed over forty years ago by the Sith, during the time of Exar Kun. Fortunately, a few relics and artifacts were saved before Ossus was destroyed... but many were not.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I'd like to see some of this Jedi knowledge. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Any lightsabers in the collection?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Viewing the relics is not allowed without Atris' permission.

If Persuade rank < 6:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Persuade] Atris has allowed me to walk freely here. Surely that implies trust.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: [Failure] It implies nothing. She lets you walk freely knowing that we will deal with you if you make any attempt to harm her or this place.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. If I get permission, will you allow it?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Of course. I exist to serve the Jedi.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. But I am a Jedi.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris speaks of you, but "Jedi" is not the term she uses. She says you followed Revan to war, the same Revan who took the Mandalorian flame and brought it to the Jedi.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. There is truth in that, but I am not Revan. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. She's... exaggerating. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I did not join Revan in the Jedi Civil War. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. That Atris, what a joker. Ha ha... heh.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Perhaps you believe that, but there is often little difference in one who wages war and one who follows another to war.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris speaks what she sees, and she sees much truth in things... and others.

Otherwise:

Persuade 1. [Persuade (6)] But you are Echani, your culture knows the importance of battle.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You are correct, but there is nothing more important than the battle you choose to fight and the battle you choose to surrender. You chose to fight the Mandalorians, and in choosing to fight them, you also fought the Jedi, whether you knew it or not. Only a kath hound turns on its own Master.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Persuade] The Echani homeworld was threatened by the Mandalorians. Yet you fought. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Look, can I see the artifacts or not?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: We did, but not against our teachings or our Masters - we fought with them, united.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Persuade] You realize if you served Atris then, you would not have fought for your homeworld - she would have forbidden it.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: That... that is true. And we would have heeded her, for we would have served her.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Persuade] I can tell from your tone you understand the choice I made was not an easy one.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: No, perhaps not... if you are truly a warrior. And not some murderer without discipline. But I do not believe you are weak or a murderer. You show reflection on your actions. Perhaps I misjudged you - perhaps you have changed from the exile Atris described to me. I hope you may show her the same side you have shown me.
Persuade 1. [Persuade (6)] Atris has allowed me to walk freely here. Surely that implies trust. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. That is why I wish to see the teachings of the Jedi. I have much to learn... and much to reflect on.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: [Success] There is truth in what you say. Yet many such artifacts are sealed away in Atris' chambers. But if you wish to see a few of them, speak to the last of the Handmaidens. She has seen some of these objects, and has an... interest in such things.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Last of the Handmaidens?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Yes... she should be in the training chamber, to the north and west of here. She constantly seeks to improve herself so that she may no longer be ranked last among us.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Why is she ranked last?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Because she is easily distracted by matters that do not concern her or her duty. Such distractions weaken her, and she knows this.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Distractions such as...?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I will not speak of them... ask her yourself, if it matters to you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I'll go seek her out now, then.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. What do you do here?
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: We serve the Jedi. And we watch.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Serve what Jedi? There's not many here.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris is the only Jedi here, this is true. But the mistress will bring others in time.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. You mean Atris and I are the only Jedi here. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I am also a Jedi. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I hope to learn the ways of the Jedi again from Atris. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Atris couldn't bring a dekk fly to garbage, let alone Jedi to this place.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You are no Jedi, Atris has made that clear. When you went to war, you gave up the mantle of the Jedi and became something else. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: It is possible... but if so, your road of atonement shall be a long one. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You shall see. She has more strength than you know.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Are you training to become Jedi?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I assume you meant no insult. It is forbidden for us to become Jedi, even if we possessed the awareness of the galaxy that the Jedi possess. We are here because we are not Jedi. That is our purpose.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Why would it be an insult? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Your purpose? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. So you aren't Jedi... and there aren't any others here?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: We have taken an oath to never follow the teachings of the Jedi, only to watch those of the Order and carry out Atris' will should it be necessary. Atris believes the new Jedi Order that shall arise here will need to be guarded and watched by those not touched by the Force. She thinks it will give balance.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. She's the one who needs balance. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I'm not sure I understand.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Spoken like one who has fallen... if we had been there, you may never have fallen at all.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: The Jedi have long since lacked anyone to judge their actions - and provide support should their power corrupt them. We are this strength. The Jedi Civil War proved that the Jedi are in need of such guidance. It is our duty to watch for aggression, rage - passion, and end it before it takes root.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. That sounds... harsh.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: It is not harsh. It is necessary.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. You guard Jedi?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: A crude way of describing our duty, but in a sense, yes.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. So you'd strike me down if I showed any rage or aggression?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I would have struck you down as you entered this place if Atris had not stayed my hand. Though you are not a Jedi, you have been sickened in Revan's service. If for a moment I felt you could bring harm to Atris or this place, then I would end you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. And who watches you? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. But Atris is in charge of you, and she is a Jedi.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris is the one we serve, and she guides our actions.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. But Atris is a Jedi, and you are supposed to watch Jedi.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Atris is trusted. She has watched Jedi rise and fall, and knows the ways of both paths to see the signs when they begin. She is a worthy one to judge the Jedi when the Jedi refuse to judge their own.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. If she is truly unbiased, then she may yet prove a good judge. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Sounds like a pyramid of pazaak cards to me. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. What a nice, corrupt little circle you've made here.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I do not understand the reference. Pazaak cards would not be good building material for a pyramid.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: And therein lies her strength. We have known Atris many years, and she has shown much wisdom. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Because the pyramid would be weak, yes. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. And that's what you have when one of the judged is in charge of the judges. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Forget it. Let me ask you something else.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I do not expect a criminal to understand - you have existed outside the circle of the Jedi for too long.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. And so has Atris - I mean, there aren't any Jedi here now, are there?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Why do all of you look the same?
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: We share the same father, and we all bear the face of our mother. It is not unusual for the Echani of the same parents to be born so as to be indistinguishable to outsiders.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. But the one Handmaiden who challenged us when we arrived... she looks different.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: As I have said, it is not unusual for the Echani of the same parents to be born so as to be indistinguishable to outsiders.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. So she had a different set of parents? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. That's not much of an answer.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: If you seek to raise anger in me, you will fail, exile. I tolerate your presence only upon orders of the mistress - she did not order me to endure your questions.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. My apologies... I meant no offense.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: One cannot take back an action, and often apologizing for it only compounds the insult. Simply drop the matter and be silent.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. All right... never mind. Let me ask you something else. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Maybe I'll drop you.

Meditation Chamber

If you cross the Meeting Chamber and exit the right side to follow Atris up the walkway to her meditation chamber, you'll find it locked:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Meditation Chamber: [This door is cold to the touch, and there seems to be no conventional means of opening it.]
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Ah... a curious thing. What lies behind it?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. When I first met Atris, she emerged from this chamber. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I don't know, but I want to find out.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Did she? Perhaps it is a... meditation chamber of some sort. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Hmmm. Perhaps it is a.... meditation chamber of some sort.
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: The construction of this door is like nothing I've seen on Telos... and it is not the same as the rest of the facility, here.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. We'll deal with it another time. Let's go.

Entrance Chamber

Exit the Meeting Chamber on the left side to go back down the walkway to the entrance chamber. The turbolift seal in the west wall is now locked, so you cannot return to the Polar Plateau. There's a door in the top left wall, and Handmaiden stands to the right of a short tunnel in the bottom left wall which ends in another door. If you speak to her:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: You are the exile. The one Atris warned us about.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. And what did Atris say? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Well, don't believe everything she says. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Atris is the one you should be worried about.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: She said you betrayed the Jedi by going to war when it was forbidden to you. You turned on your masters, your teachings, and yourself.

After one of these is your first response, you can simply go, or ask her something. Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Oh? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. She's just teasing you. I'm more like a sister to her. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I went to war to protect others, not to fight. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Going to war was necessary.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. She's... exaggerating. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. She's just teasing you. I'm really not a bad guy. KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1 KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. I don't want to talk about it.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: That is not all she says. She says you know nothing of loyalty to any cause except your own animal instincts, and she told us why you fell to the dark side.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. And why was that? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. What? Dark side? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I do not walk the path of the dark side. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I haven't completely fallen to the dark side - yet. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Falling to the dark side came after.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Atris says that you fell to the dark side in the Mandalorian Wars when you gave in to your lust for battle. Once you tasted war, you could not give it up.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. So why didn't I keep fighting in the Jedi Civil War? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. That doesn't explain why I stopped fighting after the Mandalorian Wars. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. If that were the case, I would have fought in the Jedi Civil War.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Atris says when the dark lord Revan returned to the Republic, you did not march with them because you had fallen so far you could no longer feel the Force.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. The Force aside, I was tempted to attack the Jedi, but I didn't. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I did not march with Revan because it was my choice.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: So it was a matter of choice, then. If Atris has erred in her evaluation of your motivations, it might be best to inform her.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Anything else? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. That is untrue, but Atris is entitled to her opinion. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Did Atris say anything else? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I'd rather jab myself with a Bothan stunner. What else did she accuse me of?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I believe that is the extent of her expressed feelings toward you. There are variations at times, but all rise from the same foundation.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Expressed feelings?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Yes. It is difficult sometimes for others to truly speak their heart or listen to it. The words often prove difficult, or they do not come at all.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. What do you think Atris' heart says? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. So Atris does not know her own heart? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Are you saying Atris could be wrong about me?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Without having seen you and Atris fight, I cannot say. Battle is a pure form of expression. It is heart and discipline, reduced to movement and motion.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Well, I have no wish to fight Atris. KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Then her expressed feelings will have to suffice.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. If I fought Atris, then that might make the truth come out? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. So if I crushed Atris' skull into the floor, that might get to the heart of the matter?
KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Perhaps. It may prove truer than conversing with words. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I do not think the battle would go as you describe, but in essence, yes.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: In battle, the words are swept away, giving way to actions - mercy, sacrifice, anger, fear. These are pure moments of expression.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 7. I would like to ask you something. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Enough of this. I had other questions.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: You may ask. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. You said Atris warned you about me? What did she say?

After asking one of the Handmaiden Sisters about this place, why Atris is here and the artifacts, and being persuasive about seeing them, you can ask if she's the "last" of the Handmaidens:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Are you the "last" of the Handmaidens?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I am the last of the Handmaidens, this is correct. I train so that one day that will no longer be true.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. The others said you were easily distracted from your training.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: It dishonors me they would say such a thing to an outsider. But I cannot deny the truth in what they say. My thoughts are not always focused on training. Perhaps once having known the ways of the Jedi, you may understand what occupies my thoughts.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. What do you mean? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I'm not sure I understand.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: There is much knowledge here, and only one of the Jedi remain. There is so much about their ways of battle, their forms, their stances, that may be lost forever if the last of the Jedi is taken from the galaxy.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 7. If you are afraid of the Jedi lore being lost, why don't you try and learn some of that lore?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Even if I possessed the senses that the Jedi were said to have, such teachings would be forbidden. Atris has set us upon the road we are to travel until the end of our days. We are to serve the Jedi by watching them, not learning their ways.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Watch the Jedi?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Yes, watch them for signs of the corruption that took place during the Jedi Civil War. Such vigilance requires those not tied to the Force or its influence.

If Persuade rank < 4, persuasion fails:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. [Persuade] But how can you watch the Jedi effectively if you do not know their ways of battle, of offense and defense? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. There can be no harm in looking. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Research is no crime.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: [Failure] I cannot disobey Atris. My loyalty is to her, and to her word. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I cannot disobey Atris. My loyalty is to her, and to her word.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Of course it is. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Is Atris always correct? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Then you are a fool.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: You must understand. If we do not maintain our vigilance, then we risk a second tragedy, one greater than that of the Jedi Civil War.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Persuade] Whenever you choose ignorance over knowledge, that is the tragedy. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. [Persuade] In maintaining your ignorance and blindly obeying others, that has the makings of tragedy. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. [Persuade] If the last Jedi die from the galaxy and all their knowledge is lost, then you need not fear another Jedi Civil War.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Why does this Jedi knowledge interest you, if it is forbidden?
Persuade 3. [Persuade (4)] Watching the Jedi is not about solely watching Jedi, but examining their teachings, their training. One does not need to practice, but to watch.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: [Success] That is something I had not considered. You have given me something to reflect on, exile - I thank you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Anything to make you be quiet... and to seed dissension in Atris' ranks. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. It was my pleasure. Until next time. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Very well. I'll be going now.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. And you would preserve it?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Atris has already preserved it. What I wonder is if the Jedi teachings should not simply be stored, but brought to others. There is much in their approach to battle that is worthy to be shared.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Battle is not the truth of the Jedi teachings. I believe it to be the farthest thing from it. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Combat is not the Jedi way - and it is not my way. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. To lose those combat techniques would be tragic, indeed. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. When the methods to inflict violence on others is limited, it weakens us all.

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I know your meaning, but I have not been clear on mine.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Is this what occupies your thoughts?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: To the Echani, battle is a means of communication - it is an art, in the truest sense of the word.

In both cases:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Stance, form, discipline are a means of expression and communication. They speak one's heart and one's devotion to their cause.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Devotion to their cause?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Yes, the methods you use to meet your opponents speak truer than any words can express. When you risk pain or death, there is no truer sacrifice or strength.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Devotion? I prefer obedience. To a cause... and a master. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Nor a greater show of fealty.
KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: If that is where one's devotion lies. When you risk pain or death for another, there is no truer test of your beliefs and strength.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. Forget it. I had some other questions.

Otherwise, you only move closer to the light side of the Force if you haven't already said combat is not the Jedi way:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Combat is not the best way to communicate with others. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. So you'd consider slaughter a means of expression? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I agree. It shows how far you are willing to go for your goals.

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: It was to the Jedi traitor Malak. It was to the Jedi traitor Revan. When Taris was destroyed, it showed Malak's heart through its execution and intent. It was brutal, without finesse... but showed his commitment to defeat the Jedi. Yet with Revan, there was the same commitment, but it was a subtle thing, like weaving threads in a tapestry, or strokes upon a canvas.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: She spoke through battles and tactics, in a way one could never do in words. She showed her heart at Malachor V... and finally, at the end of the Jedi Civil War. I believe she was speaking to Malak in that final battle, though few knew it. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: He spoke through battle and tactics, in a way one could never do in words. He showed his heart at Malachor V... and finally, at the end of the Jedi Civil War. I believe he was speaking to Malak in that final battle, though few knew it.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Revan turned on Malak, once a friend, and killed him. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Malak was slain, and that is all that was said. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. What do you think Revan was saying? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. I would not ascribe too much poetry to their hate and violence.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Through battle, Revan was meeting betrayal with betrayal - and showing Malak the pain he had inflicted on his master. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Poetry is wordplay that cloaks feelings in riddles. Battle speaks, and its feeling is true. Revan knew this when facing Malak... and slaying him.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: What stronger display than death for conveying one's sense of being betrayed by one's own student? Revan's anger must have been great indeed.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I would have wished to have been there for that final exchange and seen the truth of their conflict with each other. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: To claim to know anything of Revan's choices or what lay in his heart when Malak fell is conceit, servant of Atris. And whether Revan had any choice in the matter at all is something else you should consider. The Force is a powerful thing to wield... or deny.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Regardless, I would have liked to have been there for that final exchange and seen the truth of their conflict with each other... as perhaps you would have.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Revan and Malak were driven only by the dark side. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. The Force drove Revan to do what needed to be done, and that is all.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: But to say that seems an untruth, based on what I know of the Jedi. The Force can drive others, but there is still choice, is there not?
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Ah, but at what point does the power the Force exerts submerge any attempt at choice, or free will? You have taken a complicated question, servant of Atris, and you have trivialized it with your answer... and lack of experience.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: If there is no choice in the Force, then our teachings and our actions are for nothing. And I refuse to believe that is true.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I've heard enough. This conversation is over.

Saying you heard she knows something of the relics Atris has stored here is also unlocked:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I heard you know something of the relics Atris has stored here.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I know a little of them, yes. Much Jedi knowledge is stored here, secrets of their teachings, combat styles, and discipline.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Where is it stored? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Can you help me obtain some of these teachings? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Where are they stored again?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: The Jedi relics are kept by Atris, within the walls of her meditation chamber. Entry is forbidden.
Impossible 1. [Force Persuade] But not to me - take me there, now. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. [Persuade] But surely they are not forbidden to Jedi such as myself.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: [Failure] I will not. Atris has made her orders on the matter clear, and she says you are no Jedi. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: [Failure] Atris has made her orders on the matter clear, and she says you are no Jedi.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Entry to her meditation chamber is forbidden. To even ask shows you doubt my loyalty to her.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. So you have never seen these relics?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I have seen a few of them, yes. They were not always in Atris' meditation chamber.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Where did these relics come from?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Most come from Dantooine, brought here before the academy there was destroyed by Malak. Not all relics were able to be saved, for there was not time to rescue them all.
Intelligence 1. [Intelligence (13)] You said "most" came from Dantooine. What about the others?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I am not permitted to speak of such things, and it is not your concern.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. So you have never seen them? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Have you ever seen these relics?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I... I have seen a few of them, yes. They were not always in Atris' meditation chamber.

Once she's told you she's seen a few of them:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Can you tell me about the ones you saw?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: There were many relics... among them small cubes, warm to the touch, each containing their own light.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Jedi holocrons. Yet warm to the touch, you said?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Yes, and with a... light about them.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: When held, some would speak, ask strange questions.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Questions?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Yes, their questions were... confusing. They seemed to think I was someone else, someone's student.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Ah... of course they did. A simple misunderstanding, no doubt.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I had thought perhaps I had damaged them in some way, but I could not think of what I had done.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. You look... different than the other women here.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I honor the face of my mother. It is not something spoken of in the company of others.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. So you have a different mother... but the same father? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Let me ask you something else.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I do not wish to discuss it. If there is something else you wished to ask, you may do so.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Is it a sensitive subject?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: It is not a sensitive subject, but a subject that requires trust. There is no such trust between you and I, and such trust takes time.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I apologize. I meant no offense. KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: There is no need to apologize. You were merely remarking on something that you saw - there is no wrong in that.

You move closer to the dark side of the Force if this is your first response, and when you first ask the following:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. She was right - you're lucky I don't kill you all. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Why does Atris allow me to walk freely? I could kill you all, easily.
KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I am aware of this. I do not doubt your combat prowess, as my half-sisters do. There are many who went to war against the Mandalorians, and few returned. You were one of them.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Half-sisters? I thought you looked different than the other women here.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Your flattery means nothing to me. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. You are right to fear me. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Remember that if you seek to challenge me.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I did not mean to praise you with my words. Perhaps it is your interpretation of them that needs to be viewed in perspective. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I do not fear you. My words have been misinterpreted and need to be placed in perspective.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Then you sought to insult me? KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I will, exile. In truth, I do wish to challenge you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Again, you have twisted my words to attempt to provoke me. That shows a creative mind, which bodes well for any fight between us.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Perhaps you need to be put in your place. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Is it a fight you seek? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. What? Why? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Did Atris put you up to this?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: No, Atris has no bearing on this request. In fact, I think she would disapprove, quite strongly, if I were to ask.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: The Echani believe you cannot truly know the heart of another unless you meet them in battle. I would very much like to know your nature. But now is not the time - perhaps my sisters could challenge you, but not I, and not here.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Forget it. I had questions for you instead.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 8. Never mind. I'll be going now.

Before you leave her for the first time, she asks what it feels like to have touched the Force:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Before you go, exile... question for you, if I may ask it. You have touched the Force... what does it feel like?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. It is a difficult thing to describe. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I don't want to talk about it.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Please, I wish to know.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Imagine awakening, and hearing the heartbeat of the galaxy for the first time. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. It is like a current that passes through you, and carries you with it to all the places it touches. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. The warmth of the sun without the glare - you can feel its light and its heat, but there is no harshness to it. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. It is so many things, yet you know when you feel it, without question.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: It is like a cloud, a mist that drifts from living creature to creature, set in motion by currents and eddies. It is the eye of the storm, the passions of all living things turned into energy, into a chorus. It is the rising swell at the end of life, the promise of new territories and new blood, the call of new mysteries in the dark.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I only know what its loss feels like.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Then tell me of its absence.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Imagine awakening and finding all your senses blinded. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. It is like feeling warmth on the skin, then being buried alive. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. An echo, forever traveling inside you until the end of your days. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. It is something you struggle to recall, yet forever forgotten.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: It is standing atop the summit of a great mountain, the winds tearing about you, then finding yourself buried alive - trapped, helpless, and alone. It is like having the energy of youth... then feeling the cloak of years fall upon you, and knowing you are weak, fragile, and a thing easily discarded. It is knowing what you want to say and never finding the words. It is a chorus, replaced with silence. Hearing teachings without meaning. It is like a beloved pupil to whom you have shared everything, sacrificed everything, and then having them turn from you... and forget all you were.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I see. Thank you, exile. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: I see. Thank you, both. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. It was my pleasure. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. If you have any further questions in the future, seek me out and ask them. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I'll be going now.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. You'll know when you die. So unless you seek death, leave me be. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. Maybe I'll speak of it some other time, not now.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden: Very well - forgive me, exile, I did not mean to speak of things painful to you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Perhaps we shall discuss it another time. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. It is forgotten. I will be going now. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Just leave me be.

Handmaiden Quarters

Beyond the door at the end of the short tunnel exiting the bottom left of the Entrance Chamber is a room with a long table with four chairs on each side to the left and two Handmaiden Sisters to the right, standing in the left corner between a door in the top left wall, beyond which is a short tunnel to one of the doors of the Prison, and another short tunnel in the bottom left wall leading to the door of the Handmaiden quarters: inside, beyond the two doors in each of the three remaining walls are their individual quarters, around a central training mat with a pillar at each corner. There are plasteel cylinders in all but the quarters behind the right door in the back wall opposite the entrance. Those behind the doors in the wall to the left upon entering are unlocked:

Item(s) Received Plasteel Cylinder

If you speak to any of the five sisters in the academy and you're looking for a fight, then all will be happy to oblige:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I would welcome a chance to instruct you. I have been anxious to teach you many principles of combat ever since you invaded this place.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Teaching?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Oh, yes. We train extensively in various combat styles, and we have not had another target for some time. You may prove a pleasant diversion.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Never mind. I had other questions instead. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Maybe another time. I'll be going now.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I could use a good sparring match. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Then I'll be happy to oblige.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Very well. Follow me, and we shall see if you have the endurance to learn the most basic of our teachings.

You follow to the Handmaiden quarters to the southwest, where one of the sisters now stands across from the player on the training mat while the other four now watch from around its perimeter:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Before we begin... are you familiar with Echani traditions?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. Forget it. I've changed my mind.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. No, what are they? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Does it have anything to do with why you wanted me to disrobe? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I'm guessing they involve me standing here freezing in my jumpsuit.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: All duels between us shall be without armor of any kind. There shall be no restrictions upon our movements - or upon yours. Your feet are not to leave the training mat during the battle. If they do, you will lose. Also, this is not a fight to the death. Restrain your instincts when we fight, and we shall do the same.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Yes. If you're ready to fight, so am I. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Let's do this. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I understand - stay on the mat, no armor, no striking to kill. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Fine. If you're ready to fight, so am I.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: The fight will be with hands and feet only - no stimulants, shields, weapons, or other items. Also, do not call upon any Jedi techniques during our contest. If you do, then the battle will be over. In turn, I will not use our higher forms, for this is only an opening battle between us - a test of each other's strength.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. If you're ready, so am I. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Enough talk - let's fight. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Let me get ready, and I'll return.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Then let us begin. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Seek one of us out when you wish to fight, and we shall honor your request.

As the first fight begins, any active buffs are cancelled and any clothing, robes or body armor and weapons are removed: if you equip them again, use any Force power, grenade, stimulant, medpac, shield or mine, or leave or get knocked back off the training mat, then the fight is over. Although any mines set before a fight remain, the sisters have Mine Immunity so they won't trigger them.

After the first three fights, depending on the outcome:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You have fallen. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You have succeeded. If you wish, you may challenge us again, and we will progress to more advanced movements. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Have you returned to fight again?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I wish to challenge you again. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Let me heal up, and I'll be ready to fight again. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I've had enough for today. I'll be going now.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Very well, I shall honor your request. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Seek one of us out when you wish to fight, and we shall honor your request.

If the first fight wasn't a success:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: It shall be the same as before - hands and feet only, no stimulants, shields, weapons, or any other items. And no Jedi techniques. Are you ready?

Every Handmaiden Sister is unarmed but can use Power Attack, trebling damage on a critical hit, which also has a chance to knock you back, possibly off the training mat, if a Fortitude save fails. Although any clothing, robes or body armor and weapons are removed and cannot be replaced in the first fight, all other equipment remains in place: any Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Defense, Damage Resistance, Attack and unarmed Damage bonuses may help (as may Immunity: Critical Hits).

The first two fights without the Force will be particularly difficult for a Jedi Consular unless early feat selection focused on improving (unarmed) combat capabilities (for example, improving or mastering Dueling, Flurry and Toughness).

Vitality and Force points aren't restored to maximum before or after each fight, so save game beforehand or free Kreia from the Prison if she can Heal. Once the first fight is a success:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Our next battle will be using the higher forms among the Echani. You may choose hands and feet - or whatever melee weapon you wish, but use no other items or Jedi techniques.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I am ready. Let's go.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Then let us begin.

However, using higher Echani forms doesn't seem to have any effect, and every Handmaiden Sister fought seems no different from the first (perhaps Power Attack is used more often?). Although any clothing, robes or body armor is removed at the start of each remaining fight, it's possible to replace it before any attack is made without losing, and any weapons can now be used, not just melee weapons.

Once the second fight is a success:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Our next battle shall be free of restriction on weapons and items, and you may use whatever technique, Jedi or otherwise, you wish to attempt to defeat me. In turn, I will spare none of our forms against you.

From now on you can use the Force, although if you won the first two fights reasonably comfortably then you might not need it (yet). Once the third fight is a success:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You know much of melee combat, you surprise me.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I wish to challenge you again.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: There is nothing more that we can teach you from such contests. Such battle would only be for battle's sake.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Never mind, then.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. If you cannot defeat me alone, feel free to pair up. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Then that sounds fine to me.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: If that is what you wish, then we shall honor it. We shall see how you fight against a group of us. We shall take you in a pair, using everything at our disposal. Use whatever item, weapon, or Jedi technique you wish - we shall match it.

Once the fourth fight is a success, save game because, unlike the previous fights, you only get one attempt at the fifth and final one:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You are a strong opponent. Atris was correct about you - you know much of war and battle. Perhaps too much.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I could take all of you on without breaking a sweat. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. So you admit defeat?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: One does not sweat in the polar regions of Telos... so all that will break will be your pride. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I admit nothing. The Echani stand together, to defeat one or two of us says nothing of how a true battle would go.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Let me catch my breath, and I'll be back.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Care to back up those words? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Then let's put that to the test.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Then our last battle shall be the five of us against you. Use any item, any weapon, any technique you wish - you will need them.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Why not all six of you?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: There is no need for the last of us to join in this fight - the weakest among us will only serve to diminish our techniques. We fight as one when we are five, not six - and that number should be enough for this lesson.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Fine. Let's do this. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I am ready. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. You done talking, or are we going to fight? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Come on, then.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Very well - we shall begin.

You're outnumbered five to one, with three in front and two behind, but from the dismissive reaction if you lose, you'd think those odds were reversed:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: We knew you were no match for us. Yet you decided you would try anyway. Our battle is done - there is nothing more that we can learn from you.

If it taking more than two of them to defeat a single low-to-mid-level Jedi without a lightsaber hasn't taught them humility, then maybe only defeating all five will do so (although refusing a rematch may be taken as a tacit admission of that being possible).

However, this may be easier said than done, particularly on Difficult: you may be high enough level to have improved Force powers, but not mastered them, and your Force points may run out before the end of the fight, which means you should still be prepared to slug it out in combat.

  • Improved Force Barrier can (significantly) reduce damage in the absence of Mandalorian Shields (although you, Atton or Bao-Dur should be able to create Mandalorian Melee Shields at the Workbench in Hangar Control), reducing the frequency with which you need to Heal or use Medpacs).
  • Force users should use Knight Valor to increase maximum Force and Difficulty Class (among other things), while more combat-oriented Jedi should use Knight Speed for a Defense bonus and added attack.
  • The dark side powers Horror or Insanity are likely to be the only Force powers available that offer area of effect debilitation.
  • The dark side powers Improved Force Scream and Force Lightning are likely to be the only powers available that can damage multiple targets
  • The Handmaiden Sisters can be tricked into stepping off the mat with carful maneuvering, taking them out of fight. Force Whirlwind can also be used to knock them back if they fail to a Reflex save; move to one of the corners and allow the Handmaiden Sisters to cluster around you to maximize the chances of affecting as many as possible.
The First Rule...

Kreia

When you open either door to the prison, Kreia turns toward you in the middle cage on the left side, gets up and speaks:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Did you find what you came for?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. A woman from my past has made this place her home. I did not expect to see her again. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Wisdom] That depends. What was I supposed to find here? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Not exactly. We've been ordered to leave. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I think so, but we have to go now. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Perhaps. I've been given a chance to help the Jedi. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Yes, our ship will be returned to us.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: I... felt as much. Quite strongly, in fact. I suspected there was something from your past here - something unresolved. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Are you certain you are ready to depart? I sense some... unrest... in you. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: I had thought that you would bring you some peace. Yet I still sense some unrest in you. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: The ship. That is not what I meant. My question was directed more to you.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: There was something from your past here - something unresolved.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: I feel we did not come to this place by chance - you were led here. This woman who resides here - she did something to you once... something that hangs upon you still?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Well, I wouldn't exactly call her charming. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. She was one of the Council who cast me out of the Order... and wanted to punish me even further. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Stay out of my head, or I'll remove yours. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. It's none of your business.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Whatever her charm, or lack thereof, you must deal with it. Unresolved events from our past can create wounds in the present, and the future. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Ah, I see it now. The act has left its marks. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Very well - though I can not be blamed for the intensity of your thoughts on this matter... or the depths to which they reach. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Is it? Perhaps so... and perhaps not.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Be warned... unresolved events from our past can create wounds in the present, and the future.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: And more importantly, they can distract you... weaken you. It could prove fatal against the enemies we face.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 7. Let's just leave. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I've heard enough. Let's go. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Are you done?

Otherwise, you can tell her about Atris:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. The woman here is a Jedi, Atris, one of the Council.
Dialog
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: There is a Jedi here, perhaps. In that, you are correct. Yet there are no students, and this woman... this Atris... surrounds herself with those who cannot feel the Force. Curious.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. Look, we need to leave, so let's go. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 6. If I see her again, I will ask her.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Atris plans to heal the galaxy, then rebuild the Order.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Plans are fragile things and life often dashes expectations to the ground. Perhaps students will come to her in time. For now, she is surrounded by those who cannot feel the Force.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. We may be able to gather students and allies on our journey - let's go.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Aren't the Handmaidens students? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I knew the Handmaidens weren't students, but I didn't realize they were unable to feel the Force. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Those who cannot feel the Force?
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: No... her servants are not Jedi. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Yes... her servants are not Jedi.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Their minds are walls, trained to resist tricks of the mind. This discipline blinds them to the Force as well, even if they were Force Sensitive.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Let's talk about it on the way out of here.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. How do you know that? Were you reading their minds? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Did you try to use Jedi mind tricks on them?
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Invade the mind of another? It is not something done carelessly... or when there is nothing to be gained.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Well, there's nothing to be gained talking here. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. I couldn't care less. Let's go.

If you then say you may have to kill Atris:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I don't trust her - I may have to kill her. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. She means me harm. I may have to kill her.
KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -2
Dialog
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Ah... killing such a one could prove difficult. And unwise. Yet she... distracts you, that is clear. And that may be reason enough. Such distractions could prove fatal against the enemies we face.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. How would you kill her, if you had to? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. You're cunning. How would you end such a... distraction?
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Direct action is not always the best way. It is a far greater victory to make another see through your eyes than to close theirs forever. Yet all that lives feels. And where something feels, there is weakness.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. And what is her weakness? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Your doubletalk is starting to anger me. Speak plainly.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Why you, of course.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: You are the gravity around which all her actions rotate. You exert a stronger influence than you know. Be her foil, her challenge... and eventually she will see things your way.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I did not realize I had... affected her so deeply.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Oh, yes. Natural leaders do such things to followers... whether they be simple criminals or old women such as myself.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I will consider this. For now, let us go. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Anything else useless to say, or are you done?
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Very well... let us depart. KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: If that is all you wish to hear, then I have nothing more to say. Let us depart.

Atton begins to wake up after his 'sleep' in the cage to the right:

KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Enhhhhhhh....
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Is Atton okay? He looks out cold. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. What happened to Atton?
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: He is only sleeping - it seems the journey here has fatigued him.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I'll shut down the cells and get you out of there. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. He can sleep on the ship. Let's go. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. All right, then. Let me free you.

If you speak to Kreia again before leaving the academy:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Let us keep moving. There is nothing more to be gained here.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. I want to explore a little longer, and then we can go. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Very well. Let's keep moving. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. All right, let's go.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Very well - but we should not remain here too long.

Bao-Dur

Unlike Atton, Bao-Dur speaks to you after he regains consciousness in the cage to the left:

KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: I... am sorry, General. I must have lost consciousness in the crash.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. There is nothing to apologize for. Are you sure you're okay? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. I have no use for a soldier who falls at the first sign of combat. Be on your guard in the future. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. We could have used you earlier when we were ambushed. Do not fail me again.
KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1 KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: I am fine, General. Even power has been restored to my arm. KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: I will, General. The attack was unexpected, but I will not let down my guard again. KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: I will not, General. The attack was unexpected, but I will not let down my guard again.
Influence Gained: Bao-Dur (+8) Influence Lost: Bao-Dur (-8)
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: What is this place? Where are we?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. A Jedi academy - concealed on the northern pole of Telos.
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: This must be where I had detected the energy readings before - and the drain to the restoration shields. This room, this place - it looks part of a huge polar irrigation system, possibly planet-wide, like the one on Coruscant. I had been told by the Republic that it was not in use.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Not now, no telling who might be listening. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Keep silent, no telling who might be listening. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. This'll be your new home if your wounds could slow me down. Understand? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Are you well enough to travel?
KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1 KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1
Influence Lost: Bao-Dur (-8) Influence Gained: Bao-Dur (+8)
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: Of course, General. If you wish, I may travel with you or join you at the ship. KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: I am, General. If you wish I may travel with you, or join you at the ship.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Just get to the ship, we can talk later. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Meet me at the ship and prep it for launch. We're leaving as soon as we can. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Just go to the ship - I will deal with your failure later. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Come with me, then. I could use your help.
KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1 KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1
Influence Lost: Bao-Dur (-8) Influence Gained: Bao-Dur (+8)
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: Very well, General. I will await your arrival. KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: Very well, General.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [The two party members left are Atton and Kreia. Bao-Dur will meet you at the Ebon Hawk.] KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Choose two members of your party - the others will join you at the Ebon Hawk hangar.]

Even if you tell Bao-Dur to come with you, you can still change your mind and choose the other two. There's a plasteel cylinder by the north wall of the prison:

Item(s) Received Plasteel Cylinder
  • ?

If you speak to Bao-Dur again before leaving the academy:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: General?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Are you sure you're all right? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. If you were wounded in the crash, I may need to leave you here if you slow me down.
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: I am fine, General. Even power has been restored to my arm.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Any idea on what this place is?
KotORII Icon Bao-Dur.png Bao-Dur: This place looks part of a huge polar irrigation system, possibly planet-wide, like the one on Coruscant. I had been told by the Republic that it was not in use.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Never mind. Let's keep moving.

Atton

If you speak to Atton again before leaving the academy:

KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Enhhh... hey, you're back with us. We were just on our way to rescue you from those ghost women, when... uh, we got locked up. KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: What? Look, I'm fine, okay? I was just a little dizzy when I first woke up.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Enough of your excuses. Let's go. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Got it. Just wanted to check on you. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Forget it, then. Let's go.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Are you okay? You look a little disoriented. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Are you sure? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Whatever it is, shake it off. I need you alert.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Nah... don't worry about me, I'm fine. KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Look, I appreciate the concern, really, but I'm fine. KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Got it - sorry about that. This place must be getting to me. KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Got it - sorry about that. Everything we've been through must be wearing me out.
Dialog

If this is the first time you've asked:

KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Uh... how did things go with the Jedi here? Are you all done?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Not yet - I've agreed to help them. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. If by "done," you mean allying ourselves with them, then yes. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Yes, and they are done with us. They want us out, now. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. They told us to leave immediately. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. So to speak. We need to leave, so let's go.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Things went that well, huh? You make friends wherever you go, don't you?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Until the galaxy runs out of people, yes.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Well, that's not exactly what I wanted to hear. KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Well, that's encouraging. Nothing like a steady stream of people who hate us or want to kill us to keep the heart pumping.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Enough talk, we need to get moving. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Forget it. Let's go.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. You've done enough, Atton. You can go, if you want. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Then leave. There's nothing keeping you here. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. You're welcome to leave, if you want. You've done enough.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia:
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Nah. I was just complaining. Heh. I'm with you until things start going better for you. We need to stick together, you know? And who knows... I might be able to help you out of a tight spot at some point.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Thanks, Atton, I appreciate it. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. You surprise me. I thought you'd want to jump ship as soon as you could.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Uh, hey. Don't mention it. It's my pleasure.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. All right, then. Let's go.

However, there's not much point doing so unless you spoke to one of the Handmaiden Sisters before freeing him, and she told you about his Echani training:

Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Rescued me with what? With your Echani training? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I would have thought your Echani training would allow you to recover faster.
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Echani training?
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Huh? What are you talking about?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Never mind - are you okay? You look out of it. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Nothing, we can discuss it later.

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. When we met those Handmaidens at the entrance, you dropped into an Echani combat stance. Where did you learn that?
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Oh, that. Don't tell anyone, but you wouldn't believe how many fights you can prevent by just pretending to know that stuff. I mean, it doesn't compare to wearing a lightsaber, but then again, that doesn't seem to help you much.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Are you okay? You look out of it. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. Very well. But I'll be watching you.

Otherwise, you can interrogate him:

Low (Affect Mind) 1. [Force Persuade] Tell me the truth. Now. KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -2
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Enhhhh... wh... Y... you damn Jedi are all the same... give you a little power, and it rots you all the way to the core. Stay out of my head! I mean it.
Influence Lost: Atton (-8)
Persuade 2. [Persuade (4)] Don't change the subject. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. I think you're lying to me.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Yeah? So what? I don't ask any dumb questions about your past, despite the fact that it keeps throwing us into life-threatening situations. Want to know why? I figure if you ever want to tell me something, you will. So give me the same respect, all right?
Influence Lost: Atton (-8)
Persuade 1. [Persuade (4)] I'm not accusing you, I just want to know if you've got any other useful skills. You could be a real asset with combat training. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. I was just asking - no harm meant. I just thought it could be an asset.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Well. Hey. Thanks. KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Huh? Well... hey, thanks.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: But you've got the wrong guy. I'm good at shooting people, cracking wise, and pretending to know how to fight with my hands.
KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1 Influence Gained: Atton (+8)
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Whatever you say... hey, are you okay? You don't look well. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. All right. Say, are you sure you're okay? You still look out of it. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Keep your secrets, then. I could care less.

If you speak to him again after persuading him with the Force or skill, or saying you think he's lying to you:

KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: What, you ready to continue interrogating me? I think I've got some childhood details you haven't tried to rip out of me yet.
Persuade 1. [Persuade (4)] I wasn't interrogating you, I just wanted to know if you had any other useful skills. You're a real asset.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Well. Hey. Thanks. But you've got the wrong guy. I'm good at shooting people, cracking wise, and pretending to know how to fight with my hands.
KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1 Influence Gained: Atton (+8)

If you interrogate him about his Echani training again, you can repeat this dialog and have second opportunities to gain or lose influence and move closer to the light or dark side of the Force.

Hangar Control

Hangar control is on the top left side of the Entrance Chamber (bear right), and above the Prison (bear left). When you open the door you see T3-M4 trapped in a force field, and the Ebon Hawk in the hangar below through the window in the wall behind. When you enter, T3-M4 speaks:

Dialog
KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: Bereep... de...rreep.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Well, if it isn't the one who stole the Ebon Hawk. Not so smug now, are you, you little thief?
KotORII Icon Kreia.png Kreia: Don't be a fool - Atris stole the ship and the droid.
KotORII Icon Atton.png Atton: Says you.
KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: Bereep... de...rreep... de-deet.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. T3, are you all right? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. What did they do to you? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. So you've been sitting here, relaxing, while we've been running all over Telos? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. [Repair] Your behavior core... they didn't memory wipe you, did they? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 5. I thought you would be scrap by now.
KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: De-reep dwoot de-beet... deet.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. It wasn't your fault they took the ship, T3. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Look, I'm just glad I found you.
KotOR Icon Light.png Light Side Points Gained: +1 Influence Gained: T3-M4 (+8)

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Then fight next time someone tries to take the ship. KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: De-beet... deet. Dwooooo. KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 4. Don't waste my time with excuses. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Then up the charge. Make it lethal. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Fine, I'll buy you an upgrade.
KotOR Icon Dark.png Dark Side Points Gained: -1 Influence Lost: T3-M4 (-8)
Dialog
KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: De-de-wreep... bwee-breoop... de-be-reep dwoot de-beet... deeeet.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Hold on - what information are you talking about? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Wait... she downloaded what from you? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Slow down, I can't understand what you're saying.
KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: Dweep... bee-bwoot... de-reep dwoot de-beet... deet.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. Why would she want what's in your memory core? KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Your entire memory? That must have taken some time. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Which console did it get downloaded to?
KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: De... deet.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. You can fill me in later - let me get you out of there first. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. Let's get you back to the ship, then we can talk more. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Be quiet until we've left this place behind.
KotORII Icon T3-M4.png T3-M4: Dee-deet?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. We'll see you at the Ebon Hawk. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. All right, join us on the Ebon Hawk when we're ready to leave. KotORII Icon Dialog.png 3. Get out of here and secure the ship.

Otherwise, all that remains is to board the Ebon Hawk. If you try to do so before freeing your party from the Prison:

[You'll need your companions to fly the ship.]

Otherwise:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Ebon Hawk: [This is the loading ramp to the Ebon Hawk. Once aboard, you'll be leaving the Telos Polar Academy for good.]
KotORII Icon Dialog.png 1. [Enter the Ebon Hawk.] KotORII Icon Dialog.png 2. [Step away from the loading ramp.]

Handmaiden

If your character is male then as you leave the secret academy in the Ebon Hawk, two Handmaiden sisters approach Atris:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Mistress, the last of the Handmaidens is not among us.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: She has left with the exile. KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Left? KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: But - why? Her oath...
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: Her reasons are unknown to me. But I fear she may no longer be trusted. We will save her if we can, but we must let her discover the exile's nature for herself. Some evils must be confronted, and isolation from it would have been no defense.

The Handmaiden has indeed stowed away on the Ebon Hawk, and she joins your party. Later, Atris stands facing the pillar in the middle of the meeting chamber as two Handmaiden sisters enter behind her:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: Has there been any sign of the ship?
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: No, mistress, nor any word of our sister. We do not know where they travel now.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: The freighter... it is important. And I thought the droid was as well. But I was wrong.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Mistress, we still do not know the significance of the ship or the droid. We downloaded all you asked, but we are still no closer to the answers you seek.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: Then perhaps you will need to have faith that your sister will change her mind, remember her oath, and return to us... with the answers we seek.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: I hope so, mistress. But there has been no word of her since she departed with the other four on the freighter.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: Four?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Yes, mistress: the Iridonian, the Echani-trained pilot, the exile, and the old woman.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: Old woman?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Yes, mistress.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: I... do not recall seeing her.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Mistress, she was secured for much of the time the exile was here. At other times you were meditating, and we did not wish to disturb you.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Mistress, is there something wrong?
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: I am... tired. I... sometimes feel as if things are collapsing... all around us. It is just at the edge of perceptions, waiting. I fear... I fear things will collapse before our enemies reveal themselves.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Yes... mistress.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Atris: I will meditate upon this. Perhaps it will clear my mind.

Later still, two handmaiden sisters stand at the window overlooking the empty hangar bay:

KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Has there been any word of her?
Dialog
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: None yet. I do not understand why she displays such disobedience.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: You know why. She bears the face of her mother.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: She shames us all.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: She has always brought shame upon us. In terms of combat, she is the least among us. Her stance always had too much passion about it.
KotORII Icon Dialog.png Handmaiden Sister: Perhaps it is better that our sister chose exile rather than having it forced upon her.
