Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Leviathan

Before leaving the planet on which you acquired your fourth Star Map, make sure you, Carth, Bastila and perhaps at least one of T3-M4, HK-47, Canderous or Juhani are properly equipped, then save game. After leaving, and entering hyperspace:

Bastila: What happened? What's going on?

Carth: Sith Interdictor ship. They must have been waiting for us on the hyperspace route. We're caught in their tractor beam.

Bastila: Do you recognize the ship?

Carth: It's the Leviathan. Saul Karath's vessel. My old mentor.

The crew gather at the hub of the Ebon Hawk to consider your options:

Dialog

Carth: Admiral Karath taught me everything I know about being a soldier. He was a legend in the Republic fleet, and a hero to me. Until he betrayed us. When the Sith attacked my home world, the Leviathan - which is Saul Karath's flagship - was at the head of the fleet. My family was destroyed that day and my wife died in the Sith bombardment. 1. Don't do anything you'll regret, Carth. 2. Don't let your lust for revenge cloud your judgment, Carth. 3. This is your chance to avenge the deaths of your family! Bastila: That is not the way of the Jedi. Vengeance, anger, emotion: these things lead to the dark side! Carth: I'm not going to do anything stupid. I won't throw our lives away in some mad quest for vengeance. But if I get a chance to kill Saul during our escape, nobody better get in my way. Bastila: Talk of an escape is somewhat premature, don't you think? We don't even have a plan to get out of this mess yet! Carth: I'll admit it won't be easy. Saul's no fool and he won't underestimate us either. You can count on plenty of guards watching every move we make. Bastila: Maybe Admiral Karath doesn't know how many of us there are on board. We all have special talents; talents we could exploit so that one of us could stage a rescue. We just have to figure out who has the best chance to avoid capture so that they can come and rescue us later. It's a long shot, but it's our only hope. 1. Don't worry, I can get away from Admiral Karath's guards. 2. Bastila, is there some way you could use your Battle Meditation here? 3. Carth knows Saul the best. He can get us out of this. 4. Admiral Karath will be watching the three of us very closely. One of the others is going to have to save us. Bastila: The admiral will be watching the three of us far too closely for any plot involving you, me or Carth to succeed. It's going to be up to one of the others to get us out of this. Carth: Well, if we're going to pick someone to save our skins we better do it quick. In another minute we're going to have Sith troops marching up our loading ramp! 7. This sounds like a job for a Wookiee! Bastila: Is that wise? We need someone inconspicuous for this task, and Wookiees tend to draw a lot of attention... especially from arresting troops. Maybe you should go with someone else.

Since you, Bastila and Carth will be watched too closely to escape and Zaalbar will be too conspicuous, one of your remaining party members must be chosen to do so:

Mission

1. Mission can do it. No prison can hold her! Mission: Maybe I can goad the guards into making a mistake! If I get them mad enough, they might put me in a separate cell to punish me. With them focusing so much on you three I might be able to sneak out of my cell and come rescue the rest of you. Zaalbar: No, it's too dangerous! Mission: It's a risk we have to take, Big Z. I can slice my way free from any security cell. Don't worry, I can pull this off! 1. If you make the Sith mad they might just decide to kill you. I don't like this plan. Mission: The decision is yours - you're in charge. But I know I can do this if you give me a chance. 2. This could work, and it's not like we have much choice. 7. Okay, Mission, I'll give you a chance. Mission: I won't let you down! You'll see!

T3-M4

2. T3-M4 is a pretty resourceful little guy. He could pull this off. T3-M4: Beep. Beep. Boop. Carth: Well, the droid's right. If we disable him the Sith will probably wipe his memory chips and take him to the junkpile. But we can rig a back-up memory chip with a timer. When it kicks in the little fella will be reactivated and he can come find us. 1. I'm afraid the Sith will melt him down before his back-up chip kicks in. Carth: Well, that's a risk we might have to take, unless you can come up with a better plan to get us out of this. 2. Let's do it. 7. Okay, we'll rig up a spare memory chip and go with T3-M4.

Jolee

3. Maybe Jolee could use the Force to affect their minds. Jolee: I don't think I could use my Force powers to convince a whole squadron of troopers to let me go free, but maybe I can use it to get them to take me to a separate cell. They'll probably only leave a single guard to watch over an old man like me. I could use the Force to convince the guard to set me free, then I could free the rest of you. 1. You're putting an awful lot of faith in your ability to alter minds, Jolee. I think we need a better plan. Jolee: I've learned a few things in my time, kid. Don't underestimate the Force, for one. But it's your call. If you want to try a different plan, go ahead. 2. Okay, Jolee, the fate of the crew is in your hands. 7. Okay, Jolee, you've convinced me. We'll go with your plan.

Canderous

4. Canderous, is there some way we could exploit your healing ability? Canderous: You could give me a shot to delay my healing mods from kicking in. A small incendiary grenade will leave burn marks that look like I was injured while making repairs to the ship. Make my wounds bad enough and the Sith'll drag me off to the morgue or the medical facility to die. When my healing mods kick in I'll come save the rest of you. 1. You're not immortal, Canderous. Your injuries could kill you before your healing has a chance to kick in. Canderous: I'm the best chance we've got, and everyone knows it. But you're the boss, so I'll bow to your authority. I still think it's best... unless you've come up with another plan. 2. Your plan is risky, but I don't see much choice. 7. Okay, Canderous, I'll give your plan a shot. Canderous: I'll go into the Ebon Hawk's armory and give myself that shot right now. The plating on the doors back there will keep the rest of you safe from the grenade explosion.

Juhani

5. Juhani, you can use your Force powers and camouflage abilities to avoid capture. Juhani: You speak the truth. I alone of all the group might be able to remain hidden if the Sith search the ship. I could wait until the guards have completed their search, then come to rescue you. 1. It's too much of a long shot; they'll find you. We need another plan. Juhani: I think you may be underestimating my abilities, but I will bow to your decision. 2. We'll try it your way, Juhani. May the Force be with you. 7. Okay, Juhani. The fate of the crew is in your hands.

HK-47

6. A droid would have the best chance. HK-47 could come and rescue us. HK-47: Statement: My construction includes a reserve memory chip and back-up power supply that automatically kicks in if I have been shut down too long. Deactivate my main circuits and wipe my memory chip. The Sith will take me to the junk heap and I can come rescue the rest of you after I re-activate. 1. What if the Sith disassemble you before your reserve power supply kicks in? HK-47: Answer: That is possible. My reserve power supply is a prototype yet to be tested. Yet I can attempt this task, if you wish. 2. Okay, we'll shut down HK-47 and hope his plan works. 7. Okay, we'll give it a try.

Mission or Jolee will be stripped of their equipment and taken to the Cell Block, where they'll rely on guile and the Force respectively to escape; T3-M4 or HK-47 will be taken to Droid Maintenance, where they can repair a decommissioned droid to assist if need be; Canderous will be taken to Medical or Juhani will use her Force Camouflage to remain undetected by the Elevator, and both should favor a more forcible approach.

Until you, Bastila and Carth have been freed from your cells, your inventory will be empty of all items it previously contained, so whoever is chosen will have to rely on any remaining equipment, and items that can be acquired in the prison block. Once the choice is made:

Carth: Hold on! They're dragging us into the docking bridge!

Dialog

Sith Trooper: Bastila, Carth and the crew have been taken prisoner as you ordered, commander! Sith Commander: Excellent. Have you searched the ship thoroughly? Admiral Karath warned me to be on alert for any kind of treachery. Sith Trooper: We found a young Twi'lek in the back. She's got quite the mouth on her! She swore at me and spit on my uniform. Sith Trooper: We found an old man in the back. I... I think we should keep him separate from the others. For questioning. Sith Trooper: We found an injured Mandalorian in the back. Looks like he was trying to rig the ship's engines to break free of our tractor beam when something exploded. Sith Trooper: She tried to bite me through my armor! And you should hear what she said about my mother. Admiral Karath needs to teach her the proper respect for the Sith! Sith Commander: A strange request. And why do you think this old man should be segregated? Sith Commander: Admiral Karath wants us to question all the prisoners. Did you get any information from him? Sith Trooper: I... I'm not sure, Commander. After speaking with him I just... I just think we should question him away from the others. Sith Trooper: He's unconscious right now. I don't think he's going to make it. He's burned pretty bad. Sith Commander: The Admiral doesn't have time to bother with some Twi'lek girl! Take her away to solitary confinement. I'll leave it up to you to teach her the proper respect for the Sith! Sith Trooper: I... I agree, Commander. After speaking with the old man I think we should question him away from the others. Sith Commander: Dump the Mandalorian in the medical bay. Let them take the blame if he dies before the Admiral has a chance to interrogate him. Sith Commander: Very well. The Admiral is probably too busy to bother with this old man anyway. Take him to solitary confinement for interrogation. Report back to me if you learn anything. Otherwise: Sith Trooper: We found a disabled astromech droid in the back of the ship. Sith Trooper: We searched the ship from top to bottom. Somebody would have had to be invisible for us not to find them in there. Sith Trooper: We found a disabled hunter-killer droid in the back of the ship. Sith Commander: Wipe its memory chips and take it to the junk pile. Maybe we can use some of its parts for salvage. Sith Commander: Well done. Return to your posts, and I will tell the Admiral of this. Sith Commander: Excellent. We can reprogram this droid to fight in our own army. Wipe its memory chip and take it to the salvage shop. The technicians will deal with it later.

The Sith commander and his troopers deal with the rest of the crew while you, Bastila and Carth are held in energy cages and interrogated by Admiral Saul Karath himself:

Dialog

Saul Karath: Carth, it has been far too long since we last spoke. I see the recent months have not been kind in your case. I barely recognized you. Carth: But I recognized you, Saul. I see your face every night even as I promise myself I will kill you for what you did to my home world. Saul Karath: Did you learn nothing in your time under me? As a soldier you should understand that casualties were unavoidable. This was an act of war. Carth: It was a cowardly act of betrayal! Your fleet bombed a civilian target into oblivion without warning or provocation. And the blood of those innocent people is on your hands! Saul Karath: In war even the innocent must die. The Sith would not accept me until I proved I had truly turned my back on the Republic by bombing the planet. Carth: My wife died in that attack, Saul. And for that, I swear I'll kill you. Saul Karath: You used to be a man of action, not of empty words. Cling to your lust for revenge if you must, but spare me your tired threats. I've heard them all before. You are an insignificant part of these events, anyway. Lord Malak is far more interested in your Jedi companions. He has great plans for them. Bastila: We will never serve Malak or the dark side! The Sith will be destroyed, Admiral Karath... as will you if you don't turn away from this path. Saul Karath: Your words are brave, Bastila, but the lure of the dark side is hard to resist - or so I've been told. I wonder if your companion is as devoted to the light as you are? 1. You're wasting your time, Saul. I'll never betray the Jedi! 2. For the right offer I could probably be convinced to join the Sith. Saul Karath: You're defiant. I'm certain Malak will find your loyalty to the Jedi amusing. Saul Karath: Your loyalty is as fickle as ever, I see. Malak will find that amusing, though I seriously doubt he will want you of all people at his side. Saul Karath: The Dark Lord would probably reward me if I just killed you once and for all. But he may want to question you given the trouble you've caused him... and the history between you. 1. History? What are you talking about? 3. Why don't you just let me go? Bastila is the one you want. 2. Malak won't get any answers from me! Saul Karath: You mean... oh, this can't be true, can it? You really don't know what's going on here, do you? Well, I won't be the one to deprive Malak of the pleasure of telling you himself. Saul Karath: The Dark Lord will no doubt torture you for information and for his own twisted pleasure. Eventually you will tell him everything. The Sith can be very persuasive. However, Lord Malak is in another sector. It may be some time before he arrives, so I suppose I will have to fill in for him until then. Activate the torture fields. Saul Karath: Enough! I don't want them to pass out before I question them. Malak will appreciate any information I can give him when he arrives. ♂ Bastila: Don't waste your breath, Saul! We won't answer any of your questions. ♀ Carth: Don't waste your breath, Saul! We won't answer any of your questions. Saul Karath: I'm sure you won't. However, we both know your friend's loyalties have proven in the past to be somewhat... flexible. ♂ 1. My loyalty is as true as Bastila's! ♀ 1. My loyalty is as true as Carth's! 2. What are you talking about? 3. Don't torture me. I'll tell you everything you want to know. Saul Karath: I am interrogating you, not the other way around. You will answer questions, not ask them. ♂ Bastila: What are you saying? Physical pain is nothing compared to the suffering of the galaxy if Malak should defeat the Jedi! ♀ Carth: What are you saying? Physical pain is... is nothing compared to the suffering of the galaxy if Malak should defeat the Jedi! Saul Karath: It is time to put your loyalty to the test. I doubt torturing you will gain me your true cooperation. Your will is too strong to be broken that way. However, even the strongest of heroes has trouble watching those they care about suffering. ♂ Saul Karath: The interrogation will begin now. Each time you refuse to answer or give me a false answer, Bastila will suffer. ♀ Saul Karath: The interrogation will begin now. Each time you refuse to answer or give me a false answer, Carth will suffer. ♂ 1. Don't hurt her, I beg you. ♂ 2. I will not betray the Jedi Order, even to save Bastila. ♂ 3. Go ahead, torture her. I don't really like her anyway. ♀ 3. Go ahead, torture him. I don't really like him anyway. ♀ 2. I will not betray the Jedi, even to save Carth. ♀ 1. Don't hurt him, I beg you! Bastila: My pain is meaningless. Tell him nothing! Saul Karath: You expect me to fall for such a transparent ploy. You travel half way across the galaxy with someone and you expect me to believe you feel nothing for each other? Carth: My pain is meaningless! Tell him nothing!

Saul Karath: I tire of these games - now I want answers! On what planet is the Jedi Academy at which you were trained?

Dialog

1. Jedi Academy? I have no idea what you're talking about. 2. [Persuade/Lie] Alderaan. It's on Alderaan. Saul Karath: [Failure] Alderaan is nothing but a planet of artisans and philosophers! There is no training academy there! You must think this is a game. Saul Karath: Very well. This is the price of your resistance. ♂ Bastila: AHHHH!! ♀ Carth: AHHHH!!! Saul Karath: Enough! You see what happens when you try to defy me? If you don't resist the Admiral's questioning: 3. They're on Dantooine. ♂ Bastila: No! Don't say anymore! ♀ Carth: No! Don't say anymore! Saul Karath: An excellent beginning. I am glad you are being reasonable. In either case: Saul Karath: This first question was a test. Obviously Malak knew the Academy was on Dantooine, and it has since been destroyed by our fleet! Dantooine is an empty graveyard now. Nothing remains but a smoking ruin and the charred remains of your former Masters! 1. No, you're lying! It isn't true! 2. You will pay for this crime, Saul! You and all the Sith! 3. I never liked them anyway. Saul Karath: It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. The fact remains that the Jedi on Dantooine have been eradicated, along with any hope of someone coming to rescue you! Saul Karath: More empty threats. We Sith prefer to let our actions speak for us. Perhaps that is why we are winning this war. Saul Karath: A brave front, but your feigned indifference does not fool me. Your masters are eradicated, along with any hope of someone rescuing you!

Saul Karath: Now... tell me your mission. How were the Jedi planning on using you to stop Lord Malak and our Sith armada?

Dialog

1. I won't betray the Jedi. 2. [Persuade/Lie] We have been sent to assassinate Lord Malak. Saul Karath: [Failure] Do you take me for a fool? The Jedi are not assassins - they would never devise such a plan! Saul Karath: Perhaps you need a reminder of the consequences of refusing to cooperate. ♂ Bastila: NO! AHHH!! NO!! AUGH! The pain - THE PAIN! AHHHH!!! AUGH! ♀ Carth: NO! AHHH!! The pain - THE PAIN! AHHHH!!! Saul Karath: Listen, can you not hear her suffering? You can spare her further pain by simply answering my questions. Saul Karath: Listen, can you not hear him suffering? You can spare him further pain by simply answering my questions. Saul Karath: Now, I will ask again - on what mission did the Jedi Council send you? Alternatively, you can (continue to) go down the path of least resistance: 3. We were searching for the Star Forge. ♂ Bastila: Why? Why are you telling him this? ♀ Carth: Why? Why... why are telling him this? Saul Karath: You should be grateful, Bastila. He is sparing you agony beyond comprehension. Saul Karath: You should be grateful, Carth. She is sparing you agony beyond comprehension. Bastila: Words that betray the Jedi Order bring me more pain than any torture ever could! Carth: Words that betray the Republic bring me more pain than any torture ever could!

If you don't resist, he asks a third and final question:

Saul Karath: Tell me, how did you find out about the Star Forge?

Dialog

2. [Persuade/Lie] I found Malak's diary. Saul Karath: [Failure] A diary? This is not the time for jokes! I will only ask you one more time: How did you find out about the Star Forge? ♂ Bastila: For the sake of the Republic don't tell him anything! Carth: For the sake of the Republic don't tell him anything! Saul Karath: Don't listen to her. Tell me what I want to know or watch Bastila suffer! Saul Karath: Don't listen to him! Tell me what I want to know or watch Carth suffer! 3. Bastila and I saw Revan and Malak searching for it in our dreams. ♂ Bastila: No! How could you betray the Jedi like this? ♀ Carth: No! How could you betray the Republic like this? Saul Karath: I find your willingness to cooperate pleasing, though it seems your answers are quite upsetting to Bastila. Not to worry - we are almost finished here. Saul Karath: I find your willingness to cooperate pleasing, though it seems your answers are quite upsetting to Carth. Not to worry, we are almost finished here. Saul Karath: The information you have given me has been most useful, but I fear our session is over. Lord Malak will want to continue with this line of questioning himself. Otherwise: 1. You are a sick and evil man, Saul Karath. 2. This accomplishes nothing, Saul. We will never betray the Republic. 1. No, I will tell you nothing more! Saul Karath: I had hoped you would continue to cooperate, but you seem to have changed your position. Saul Karath: Perhaps another lesson is in order? ♂ Bastila: No! AHHH!!! AUGH! NO!!! I beg you... No! Mercy!!! NO!!! AUGH! ♀ Carth: No! AHHH!!! AUGH! NO!!! I beg you... mercy!!! NO!!! Saul Karath: I am surprised she did not pass out sooner. Rarely have I seen someone withstand such punishment and remain conscious. Saul Karath: I am surprised he did not pass out sooner. Rarely have I seen someone withstand such punishment and remain conscious. Saul Karath: I see I am wasting my time here. When Malak arrives you will learn my interrogation techniques are considered merciful among the Sith.

Saul Karath: I will leave you here in your cell with a small taste of the horrors you will suffer when Lord Malak arrives.

His guards continue to torture you, even after you pass out. When you regain consciousness, Bastila and Carth have already done so:

Dialog

Bastila: Don't try to move too quickly, you might not be fully recovered yet. Admiral Karath had his guards continue to torture you even after you passed out. Carth: They tortured all of us, though you got the worst of it by far. Saul wanted them to make us suffer. He's become some sort of sadistic monster. Bastila: The dark side has perverted him, Carth. Once you start down the tainted path it leads you ever further into the depths of evil. I fear he is forever lost. 1. No one is without hope of redemption, Bastila. 2. Blah, blah, blah. Don't you ever get tired of being so preachy? Bastila: Yes, hmm, I suppose you are correct. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of that hope in the face of such unbridled cruelty, but you speak the truth. Bastila: This is not a matter to joke about! If there is one thing we can learn from Saul it is how the power of the dark side can corrupt even the bravest of heroes! I'm sorry. Forgive me. Snapping at you like that won't help our situation. Bastila: I suppose I'm taking the news of Dantooine's destruction quite hard. First Taris, now the Academy... is there no end to the killing? 1. Maybe Admiral Karath was lying. 2. I know... it's hard to believe they're all gone. 3. It's their own fault. They should have seen the attack coming. Bastila: I'd like to believe that Saul was lying to us, but even as he said the words I knew they were true. The Academy is gone. Bastila: We should have felt a disturbance in the Force when the attack came. The fact that we did not is a bad sign. I fear the dark side is growing stronger, casting shadows our vision cannot pierce. I can only hope that some of the Jedi escaped. Vrook, Vandar, Zhar... I cannot imagine all of them being gone. In any case, we have lost our one place of refuge in the galaxy. Carth: None of this will matter if we don't get out of this prison before Saul gets back! 1. Where is Saul Karath now? 2. I'm not afraid of him! Carth: Saul mentioned that Lord Malak was on his way. I think the Admiral left to prepare for his arrival... and to report the results of our interrogation. If you resisted the Admiral's questioning: Bastila: It is fortunate you were able to resist the Admiral's questioning. The fate of the galaxy could be changed by revealing the slightest piece of vital information. ♂ Bastila: I have to confess something. There was a moment - just a moment - when part of me was hoping you would tell him what he wanted to know. Just to make the horrible pain stop. ♀ Carth: I, uh... I have to confess something. There was a... there was a moment - just a moment - when part of me was hoping that you would tell him what he wanted to know. Just to make the horrible pain stop. 1. I'm sorry, Bastila. Watching you suffer tore me apart. 1. I'm sorry, Carth. Watching you suffer tore me apart. Bastila: I know you wouldn't ever do anything to intentionally cause me pain. But you did the right thing. I don't honestly know if I could have been as strong in your position. To watch you suffer like that... it might have been too much for me to bear. Carth: No, I know you wouldn't ever do anything to intentionally cause me pain. But you had no other choice. You couldn't betray our cause.I... I don't honestly know if I could have been as strong in your position. To watch you suffer like that I... I might have cracked. 3. The only reason I stayed silent was to watch you suffer. 3. The only reason I stayed silent was to watch you suffer. Bastila: You wanted me to suffer? You enjoyed my torment? I don't know what to say. I thought there was a bond between us. Maybe... maybe you're not the man I thought you were. Carth: You... you wanted me to suffer? You enjoyed my torment? I... I don't know what to say. I thought there was a... a bond between us. Maybe you're not the woman I thought you were. Otherwise: Bastila: I only wish you had been able to resist the Admiral's questioning. I hope the information you revealed does not bring the entire galaxy under the dominion of the Sith. ♂ 1. I'm sorry, Bastila, but I couldn't just let you be tortured! ♀ 1. I'm sorry, Bastila, but I couldn't just let Carth be tortured! Bastila: I appreciate your... feelings... for me. But you can't let your feelings override your judgment. Remember the Jedi code: There is no emotion, there is peace. Bastila: I appreciate your... feelings... for Carth. But you can't let your feelings override your judgment. Remember the Jedi code: There is no emotion, there is peace. Bastila: Your efforts were well intentioned but poorly thought out; Saul tortured us all anyway. There is too much at stake to let reckless passion rule our actions. 1. How dare you judge me? You have no idea what it's like to be put into that kind of position! Bastila: I know if I had been in that position I would not have betrayed the Order and the Republic! 2. I'm... I'm sorry I failed you. I didn't know what else to do. 1. No, you would have just left someone you care about screaming in agony! Carth: Don't be so hard on yourself. I've known the Admiral a long time. I could see that he already knew the answers to the questions he was asking. Carth: Stop it, both of you! Bastila, you... you can't honestly say how you would have reacted in that situation - nobody can! Besides, Saul already had all the information. I could tell. 3. Why should I endure torture just to protect the Republic and the Jedi? Bastila: Your attitude disturbs me. Such selfishness is a sign of the dark side's taint, and it does little to fill me with confidence in you. Carth: Forget about it, Bastila. It doesn't matter anyway. I've known the Admiral a long time. I could see that he already knew the answers to the questions he was asking. Whether or not you resisted the Admiral's questioning: 2. Saul would have tortured us no matter what I told him. 2. Saul already knew the answers to the questions he was asking. Carth: I've known Admiral Karath a long time and I think you're right. In any case: Carth: The interrogation was a sham. Saul was toying with us. He didn't care what we told him. I think it was just an excuse to torture us before Malak arrived.

Bastila: Did you feel that? A disturbance in the Force. The Admiral has sent his message, the Dark Lord knows we are here now. Malak is coming.
Carth: Well, then we better hope Mission busts us out of here before he arrives.	Carth: Well, then we better hope T3-M4 busts us out of here before he arrives.	Carth: Well, then we better hope Jolee busts us out of here before he arrives.
Carth: Well, then we better hope Canderous busts us out of here before he arrives.	Carth: Well, then we better hope Juhani busts us out of here before he arrives.	Carth: Well, then we better hope HK-47 busts us out of here before he arrives.

Save game at the first opportunity so you don't have to go through all that again. Regardless of who is chosen to escape, a Sith passcard must be retrieved from the Barracks or the Brig Terminal must be used before the door to the Detention area at the west end of the prison block can be unlocked, allowing the rest of the crew to be freed from their cells.
