• "Certainly."

...	Player	Andreja
🗣︎	[Q-70?] What can you tell me about Eren Bascolm?	He is a quiet man. Reserved. I believe he had lived through a great many hardships, though he never spoke of them. I never felt it proper to ask. He valued his personal space, and quiet moments. It was one thing we always shared in common. Years ago I had heard he was alive, but did not attempt to contact him. I did not feel it was right. I hope this is not a mistake.
🗣︎	How do you know anyone else is still alive?	I do not know, not for sure. I did not see them fall that day, and... I suppose I have hoped they survived. I admit, I have not investigated before now at least in part because of what I feared I might learn.
🗣︎	Why did House Va'ruun rely on smugglers?	House Va'ruun is in a distant corner of space, far away from the rest of the Settled Systems. While this serves our interests, it can also pose challenges. Many critical resources are scarce, and diplomatic relations with the United Colonies and Freestar Collective were tense at the best of times. It was the most practical way to acquire what we need, without raising too many questions. It still is.
🗣︎	[Q+85?] What else can you tell me about this Tomisar Ka'dic?	I understand he has connections within the High Council. I do not know much more about him... It was never my job to know. As I have said, he is the one who has given me assignments. He sent me to hire smugglers like Eren and Jaeda, and coordinate transport missions for them. He would have known their names, but I can not imagine that he would ever contact them directly.
🗣︎	[Q+85?] How does the Den figure into all of this?	It is relatively well-trafficked, but there are fewer prying eyes than some other locations. The UC Vanguard has operated out of the Den for some time, but they are poorly staffed and supplied. It can be a good hand-off point for smugglers.
	I can't think of any other questions.	Then we should return to our task. All right. If you have more questions, I shall do my best to answer them. Very well.

Akila City

When you speak to Andreja after landing in Akila City, she will say:

[Q-25?] & [Q+20?]

"If we are to find Eren, we should start by looking for him at Aggie's bar, in the Stretch."

[END]

--

[Q-25?] & [Q-20?]

"Eren Bascolm does not live in Akila City, but traveled through frequently enough that he could reliably be found here."

"This is where I recruited him for our operations, many years ago."

"He has always been a creature of habit. Either we will find him at his favorite bar, or we will find out how recently he has been here."

...	Player	Andreja
	I'm sure we'll learn something useful.	Just to see him sitting at the same corner table we always used... That would be enough, I think.
	Sounds like it's not a lot to go on.	Believe me, it is the most likely place for us to begin.
	Do you think he'll be happy to see you?	I honestly cannot say. I hope so, but part of me expects him to blame me for everything that happened.

"Aggie's bar, in what is referred to as The Stretch. That is where we will find him."

[EQS20]

--

When you arrive at Aggie's bar:

[Q+25?] & [Q-30?]

"He is not here. I am disappointed, but… relieved somehow?"

[QE29]

...	Player	Andreja
	That's not surprising. You've built this up in your head.	Yes, but now I feel guilty for being relieved. Why must this all be so complicated?
	Just relax. It'll be okay.	You're right. I'm sorry.
	Maybe we should try somewhere else.	No, this is the only place he would be. I know him well enough to know that.

[QB30]

"Someone here must know more. We should inquire about him."

--

Talk to Aggie:

[Q+31?] | [Q+32?]

You were telling us where we could find Eren?

[RE-ENTRY]

--

[Q-31?] & [Q-32?]

I'm looking for Eren Bascolm.

Aggie:

"You? You ain't here lookin' for Eren."

"She is."

Andreja:

"Hello, Aggie."

"I was unsure whether you would remember me. It has been a long time."

Aggie:

"I ain't likely to forget you anytime soon."

...	Player	Aggie
	Don't worry about her. You're dealing with me.	Don't try to play tough with me. I ain't got the time or the patience for it.
	Okay, fine. We're looking for Eren.	I heard you. Ain't deaf.
🗣︎	Is there a problem?	I don't know. You tell me. You're the one blundering in here, with her in tow, asking questions.

Aggie:

"She didn't ruin Eren's life enough the first time, eh? Back for more?"

Andreja:

"Ruin his life? How dare you..."

Aggie:

"Did she tell you what she did to him? How she left him bleedin' on some god-forsaken rock in the middle of nowhere?"

...	Player	Aggie
	That's not how it happened.	No? Were you there? Eren told the story so many damn times over the years, I feel like it sure as hell was.
	Spare me the righteous indignation act.	Ah, sure. You didn't have to look at him all this time.
	We're trying to make up for things.	Forgive me if I don't take you at your word.
	We'd just like to know that he's safe.	Now? After all this time? You could've dropped in any time in, oh, the last nine years or so. Maybe that wouldn't have been too convenient for you, though!

Aggie:

"Eren sat in that corner for years, scared of his own shadow. Convinced the damned Zealots were coming back to finish the job."

"The few credits he had to rub together that didn't get spent on drink, he spent on setting himself up someplace where they couldn't find him."

"Wouldn't trust anyone that walked through the door. Only ever talked to me when he was drunk enough."

...	Player	Andreja
	Clearly you care about him. We do too.	[QB31] If either of you cared, you wouldn't just be showing up now.
	I'm sorry. No one deserves to live like that.	[QB31] Look, I seen all kinds of sad sacks over the years. Most of 'em brought it on themselves. He was no different. Got himself in over his head. Mixed up in somethin' he shouldn't have been. Still not pretty to watch the slide down afterwards.
	Let's skip the sob story. Just tell me where he is.	[QB32] Ain't you just all kinds of compassionate.

[RE-ENTRY]

Aggie:

"Eren ain't been in here for almost a year now. Showed up one day sayin' he'd gone and got himself set up on Hyla II, thanking me for letting him stay here so often."

"It was the closest I'd seen him to happy in I don't know how long. And that was it. Never came through the door again."

Andreja:

"Did he ever mention me?"

Aggie:

"You mean did he blame you. That's what you want to know."

"I know guilt when I see it. Don't try and deny it."

Andreja:

"Fine. Did he blame me?"

Aggie:

"No. Believed you were one of the good ones, right up until the last time I talked to him. Me? I don't think your kind has good ones."

Andreja:

"My kind?"

Aggie:

"I know what you are. You take your holier-than-thou bullshit and your Great Serpent and shove 'em."

Andreja:

"You dare insult me like this, when I have come to you asking for help? I should kill you where you stand."

...	Player	Andreja
	Let's just calm down. We're not here to hurt anyone.	Fine, fine. Let us leave this place at once.
	We came here for information, and we got it. Let's just go.	Fine. But perhaps I will return here at some point.
	This isn't what Eren would want.	You are right. We should focus on finding him.

Aggie:

"Well, this has been so much fun."

"You see Eren, you tell him I got a bottle of his favorite stashed away if he ever shows up again. But honestly, I'm hopin' he doesn't."

[QE40]

--

[Q+40?] & [Q-45?] & [Q-60?]

"We have something to go on, at least."

--

[Q+31?]

"I am grateful that you showed some compassion, despite that woman's attitude. I do not have your patience."

...	Player	Andreja
	[+Empath?] She's feeling the loss too. Eren must have been a good friend.	Yes... I had not considered that his absence would effect others in the same way. It is better to overlook her reaction, then.
	It was the truth, nothing more or less.	And yet it is my past we are trying to clear up. That is... It means a lot.
	It just seemed like the right thing to say.	You are more diplomatic than I would be. One more reason I am glad to have you with me.
	I just wanted to avoid confrontation.	Well, it was convincing enough.

--

[Q+32?]

"I was surprised that you were so harsh to that woman. It seemed to work, though."

...	Player	Andreja
	I didn't want to listen to her blame you.	Thank you, but... If what she said is true, if Eren did collapse in on himself... Perhaps she should blame me.
	I was getting tired of hearing her talk.	So was I. But... If what she says is true, then it just confirms what I have feared for so long.
	She's in no position to judge anyone.	True, but I have always worried about how responsible I am for what happened. Maybe I needed to hear it.

--

"I’m eager to reach Hyla II and speak to Eren. Perhaps there is something we can do to help him. Provide him a sense of safety."

[EQS45]

Hylia II

[Q+50?] & [Q-55?] & [Q-70?]

"We should be on our guard here. If we could detect the camp from orbit, it means others could, too. And I have no idea what fortifications he may have."

"When we arrive... Would you let me speak to him first? I think that is important right now."

...	Player	Andreja
	I'll let you do the talking.	Thank you. From what Aggie said, it sounds like he has been rather paranoid for years now. That, too, I fear, is my fault.
	You sure? I'm great at making new friends.	You do have your moments, yes. But it sounds like he has been on edge for years now. I would hate to make the situation even worse.
	Didn't realize I was so intimidating. I'll take it as a compliment.	That is not exactly what I meant. If Eren really did come here to escape... well, everyone. I would not expect mine to be seen as a "friendly" face, but it is at least one he will surely remember.
	I'm not letting you do this alone.	Nor do I expect that. I would welcome your company, I just... I think the first person he sees should be someone he knows. It sounds as though these years have been hard on him. I do not wish to make it worse.

"Let us proceed slowly and carefully. I do not want to antagonize him."

[EQS55]

--

After killing all Zealots, Andreja will say:

"I... I thought I saw something. I need to be sure."

Follow Andreja to a grave:

"I... don't know what to say. I thought there would be a chance to speak to him, to make amends."

"Or at least to hear him curse me for leaving him. I was prepared to accept that. I did not think I would find him like this."

"At least these vermin didn't get him. He's been gone for... well, it's clearly been some time."

"Look around. There will be correspondence from Jaeda Huang, I am sure of it. This cannot all be for... nothing."

[EQS70]

--

Finding Eren's Slate:

[Q+80?] & [Q-81?] & [Q-85?]

"You found something? Please, let me see it."

"Huh. I should have guessed."

"Jaeda was always the one to run towards trouble."

"Of course she would still be doing it now, in her own way."

...	Player	Andreja
	[+Vanguard?] Joining the Vanguard is a big commitment. I should know.	It is. I am somewhat surprised this is the path she chose, but she always had an indomitable will.
	She must be pretty determined.
	She has been for as long as I have known her.	"Crazy" might be a bit extreme, but I cannot entirely disagree.
	If she went hunting Zealots, what are the odds she's still alive?	For anyone else, I would say the chances of survival are slim. For Jaeda... She is alive and on a mission. I would bet my life on it.

"Jaeda was younger than some of the other smugglers we contracted. There was concern she would be... unreliable."

"As time went on, we called on her more and more often, eventually relying on her almost exclusively."

"She was sharp, a skilled pilot, and very, very determined. Always talking about her big plans for retirement, how she would live like a queen."

"I am not surprised that she would desire revenge, but to go this far..."

"We need to find her. But before we go..."

[EQS81]

--

[Q+81?] & [Q-85?]

"I have discovered something else, and I do not know what to make of it."

"Eren was composing a reply to Jaeda, but never sent it."

"It reads as if he was expecting the Zealots to find him, that they knew where to look for him."

...	Player	Andreja
	Aggie said he'd been scared for years. Maybe that's all it is.	His fears were well founded, if the Zealots did indeed come for him.
	But he built this place to hide from them.	And yet we found them here searching for him. How did they know?
	You think he knew something we don't.	Clearly he had become paranoid. But that does not mean he was wrong.

"What bothers me, though, is that he mentions a name he should not know: Tomisar Ka'dic."

...	Player	Andreja
	Well, that's certainly a name I don't know.	Nor should you.
	You know that name though, don't you.	Yes, I do.
	You'll have to explain this to me. I'm lost.	Yes, I am sorry.

"For all of my assignments in the Settled Systems, Tomisar has been my link to House Va'ruun."

"From him, I have received my orders, and he is the person to whom I have reported my success."

"He does not work with anyone outside House Va'ruun, and I am the only one who knows how and where to find him."

"Eren should never have heard of him."

...	Player	Andreja
	If you know where he is, let's go ask him what's going on.	It is hardly that simple.
	Sounds like someone hasn't been telling you everything.	Perhaps. He could have reached out directly, but that would be a surprising breach of protocol.
	House Va'ruun, doing something shady? Who would have imagined it.	Your sarcasm is noted. But truly, this is unusual.

"We must first make sure that Jaeda is safe. And perhaps she will be able to shed light on this."

"Let us head for the Den."

[EQS85]

The Den

When you arrive at The Den, Andreja will say:

"Either she is here, or someone will know where we can find her."

[+Vanguard?]

"Perhaps now would be a good time to leverage your role in the Vanguard..."

[ Supra et Ultra+1000?]

"She is still alive. I know it."

Bastian Graff

[ Re-Re-Application+100?] & [Q+90?] & [Q-100?]

I’m looking for Jaeda Huang.

"Jaeda? I'm not really supposed to be giving out that kind of information..."

[ Re-Re-Application-90?]

"But hey, you did me a favor with that whole commendation thing."

[ Re-Re-Application+90?]

"But hey, you helped me with that commendation thing, even if it was a bust. Ah, screw it. Who cares."

--

"I saw Jaeda with Rayna. Something about Zealots in the Groombridge system, and how she was going after them no matter what."

"She was really wound up about it. Sounded urgent, and pretty serious. Hey, you didn't hear this from me, okay?"

Orval Romack

[Q+90?] & [Q-100?]

I need to locate Jaeda Huang.

[Q-94?]

"That’s so? Vanguard Pilot. Pretty good one, from what I heard. Got a real attitude, though."

[Q+94?]

"And my offer still stands. What do you say?"

--

"You could always ask the other Vanguard pilots. Or, since you're already here..."

"I do happen to offer services in exchange for payment. One of those services can be information. Get what I'm saying here?"

...	Player	Orval
	[Pay <Global=NPCDemandMoney_Small> Credits] All right, fine. I'll pay.	[>=?] Then I will tell you that I happened to overhear she's out in the Groombridge system. And from what I hear, Rayna ain't happy about it. And our little transaction here is concluded. Pleasure doing business. [QE95] Appreciate the interest, but it seems you're a little light. But I'm not going anywhere, so you know where to find me. [QE94]
	I'm not going to pay you for information I can get for free.	[Q-94?] Right, sure. That wouldn't make any sense. But, uhh, if it turns out no one else can help, you know where to find me. [QE94] Yep, so you said. Your call.
🗣︎	Isn't this extortion?	Nah, not at all. There's gotta be coercion for it to count as extortion. This is just good old fashioned business.

Rayna Marquez

[Q+90?] & [Q-92?] & [Q-100?]

I’m looking for Jaeda Huang.

"Huang? Really? There are at least three other pilots based out of here I'd expect to receive complaints about first..."

"Before we get started, I have to inform you there's a formal review process for the Vanguard, so don't expect any action for a while, okay?"

"Now, what is the nature of your complaint?"

...	Player	Rayna
	I'm not here to complain. I just need to talk to her.	Oh. Oh! Okay... Sorry. Force of habit, I suppose.
	It's urgent that I find her as soon as possible.	Okay... As long as there's no problem...
	This has nothing to do with the Vanguard. It's personal.	Oh! Well, that's a relief.
🗣︎	You get a lot of complaints about your pilots?	Look, this isn't Alpha Centauri or anything. We're a bit removed from the center of the United Colonies. Folks out here are a little less receptive to the Vanguard keeping an eye on things.

"Jaeda isn't here. Hasn't been here in a while, in fact. She's... Well, she's following up on some sensitive information."

"I'm, uhh... I'm not sure I should disclose any more than that."

...	Player	Rayna
	I know what she's after. I have information that could help her.	It's not something I can just blurt out. [Challenge]
X	I have someone here who's been looking for her for a very, very long time.	I don't really see how that's relevant. I'm sorry, I can't say anything more.
🗣︎	What if I said I already know she's hunting down Va'ruun Zealots?	Then I'd probably just be wondering how you have any information at all, and I might be even more concerned about your intentions.

...	Rayna
	[Q+91?] I suppose it's not the end of the world.
X	[Q+92?] The safety of my pilots has to come before anything else. I can't help you. [QE92] (redundant)

"Jaeda came in a bit ago, all fired up over some hot lead. She's been focused on Zealots ever since she was assigned here, but this was a whole other level."

"She was headed out to Groombridge to track them down. Never seen her so fixated."

"And if you know Jaeda, that's saying something."

"If you're headed out that way, be careful. Wouldn't surprise me if she's getting into all kinds of trouble."

[EQS100]

Groombridge System

The Raptor will hail you:

"Unidentified ship, you are not authorized to be here. State your business."

• "Whoever you are, you'd better respond..."
• "You're interfering with Vanguard operations. Answer at once."
• "This area is off-limits. Respond immediately."

[Q+120?] & [Q-130?]

Who the hell are you, and what are you doing here?!

...	Player	Response	Reaction
	I need to talk to you in person.	I don't know you, and we don't have anything to talk about! You are interfering with an official Vanguard operation, so I'm going to need you to vacate this orbit immediately!
	I'm here with Andreja. We've been looking for you.	...You're what?!	You have got to be kidding me. She... You... You show up here now, of all times?!
🗣︎	What are you doing out here?	I was setting up an ambush, but odds are that you've blown it. And my question still stands: what the hell do you think you're doing?

"Shit. I've got multiple ships inbound. Too late to run - sure hope you're prepared for a fight!"

[EQS130]

After defeating the Zealot ships, Jaeda will hail you again:

[Q+140?] & [Q-150?]

"We're clear, and I'm sure not going anywhere for a while, so why don't you tell me what the hell you think you're doing, showing up here now."

...	Player	Jaeda
	Andreja's trying to make up for what happened years ago.	Ten years after the fact? With nothing in between? You'll have to forgive me if I find that hard to believe. Suspicious, even.
	We wanted to check on you, and make sure you're okay.	We're talking, which means I'm alive, which means as far as you're concerned, I'm fine.
	Saying "thanks" for saving your ass would be nice.	You think I didn't know what I was getting into? I've been tracking these monsters for months, waiting for a chance to hit them.

"Look, my Grav Drive is fried. I need time to repair, if I can even manage it."

"You didn't take the opportunity to blow me up, so either that's not your goal or you're playing some long game."

"You want to explain yourself? I can't stop you from coming over here."

"But I'm gonna be armed, and it's gonna be aimed at her head. Just so we're all clear."

[EQS150]

Board the Raptor

Upon boarding the Raptor:

Jaeda:

"How? How can you possibly show your face?"

Andreja:

"I am glad to see that you are safe, Jaeda. I am sorry if this is difficult for you...."

Jaeda:

"Difficult?! Are you serious right now?"

"You set us up, killed my friends, and then a decade later you show up like nothing happened? Have you lost your mind?"

Andreja:

"Set you up? I never... I was not behind that. It was Zealots, you know that. We were all attacked."

Jaeda:

"Don't bullshit me. Not now."

--

Jaeda:

"And who the hell are you, her backup dancer?"

...	Player	Jaeda
	[+Negotiation?] We're just here to check up on you, and make sure that you're all right.	Okay... Clearly I'm fine, relatively speaking. You've got some explaining to do, though.
	Let's all just calm down.	Hey, I'm calm. You calm? Great.
	We're just here to talk.	Yeah? Well, we're talking. How do you think that's going so far?
	I'm a friend of Andreja's. That's all.	I was too, a ways back. You can see how that's worked out for me.

Jaeda:

"What are you doing here with her. You don't look like Va'ruun to me."

...	Player	Jaeda	Andreja
	We've been looking for anyone who survived the ambush years ago.	Why, so you can finish the job she started?	Jaeda, you are my friend. I was not part of that attack!
	Andreja was worried about you.	Worried? Worried she hadn't finished me off, maybe... I knew it was only a matter of time.	What are you talking about? I have never acted against you!
	You hate Zealots. We hate Zealots. Thought we could help each other out.	Yeah, difference is though, I haven't been working with them. She has.	I would never!

Jaeda:

"You know, for a while I told myself it was a coincidence that you disappeared once the shooting started, that you were long gone when the dust settled."

"Told myself "no, it couldn't possibly be her, not after all those years we spent working together. We're friends..." So I went after the Zealots."

"And then I found out the truth. Your damned High Council. They knew. Told the Zealots where to find us."

Andreja:

"That's not true. That cannot be true."

Jaeda:

"Oh it is."

Andreja:

"How? How do you know this? If you have proof I need to see it right now."

Jaeda:

"You don't get to demand anything of me, Andreja! I know what I've seen!"

...	Player	Jaeda
	If you're so sure of this, then let's see the proof. Convince us.	I... I don't have... It doesn't work like that! I've put things together over the years. Slates, communications, interrogations...
	I don't believe Andreja is involved. This High Council isn't either.	Why, because that's what she told you? I've seen things! I've read communications, I've hunted these Zealots...
🗣︎	You were working with House Va'ruun. Why would they want to kill you?	Because we were a loose end! We knew things, locations, names... They never trusted us. We were just a mess that needed cleaning up.

Andreja:

"A name, Jaeda. Give me a name. You must have heard one by now."

Jaeda:

"Tomisar! Tomisar Ka'dic. That's the bastard from the High Council who's been helping the Zealots."

Andreja:

"And did you hear this from Eren?"

Jaeda:

"Eren? What? No! I haven't talked to him in a year... What do you know about it?"

Andreja:

"Jaeda, I swear on the Serpent himself, I would never betray you. I need time to make this right. Can we go somewhere and talk?"

Jaeda:

"I am not giving up on this! I've tracked them this far, and I am going to see this through!"

"You want your proof? Well they have it!"

[QE170] [END]

--

Va'ruun Zealot Captain:

"So... You think you've won, do you?"

Jaeda:

"hat’s him! That’s the bastard responsible for the ambush!"

"If you’re not lying to me, then you’d better help me take him down!"

"Otherwise I’ll just have to destroy you both! Get back to your ship!"

[EQS175]

Defeat the Zealot Captain

Upon returning to your own ship, the Va'ruun Zealot Captain will say:

[Q+210?] & [Q-220?]

"I smile today in the knowledge that the Great Serpent has truly blessed my ship and my crew."

"Why else would he have delivered unto me the dregs of our purge years ago, the offal that escaped our righteous justice."

"Your pathetic "High Council," who betrayed the charge laid upon them by the Great Serpent, gave you over to us to atone for their own sins."

"It always irked me that you escaped the fate you deserved. But now the Serpent sets my mind at ease."

"And in his name, I will cleanse your filth from this universe."

After defeating the Va'ruun Zealot Captain, Andreja wants to speak with you:

[Q+300?] & [Q-305?]

"I do not understand."

"It cannot be possible that the High Council would betray us like that. He must have been lying."

...	Player	Andreja
	He seemed pretty sure of himself.	The Zealots have interpreted the teachings of Jinan Va'ruun in the most hostile way possible, and are convinced they are the only true followers of the Great Serpent. They have always been certain in their beliefs and actions. It does not make them correct.
	So let's go ask the High Council.	[+Andreja_Update3?] After the way you left things in Dazra, that is impossible. [+Andreja_Update1 > 0?] No, that would be unwise. We need more information. [-INVALID?] That is not an option. Even if we could reach them, you are a non-believer. You would be killed.
	It doesn't matter. It's over now.	No, it is not over. If there is even a chance that it could be true, I have to know.

"Something about this does not feel right. This message... the code at the bottom."

"I have seen this before..."

"I know where we need to go."

"I must explain... House Va'ruun values secrecy above nearly all else. Those of us sent out into the Settled Systems, we cannot return."

...	Player	Andreja
	[+Andreja_Update1 > 0?] Lucky for us that I've been there, and know the way.	[INVALID > 0?] I am not sure luck has anything to do with it, but your situation is unquestionably an anomaly. It was never intended.
	They can't force you to stay away forever.	Maybe not forever, but certainly until our mission has been accomplished.
	The hell with their rules.	It is not just about rules.
	I'm sure they'd make an exception, to clear this up.	No, you do not understand.

• [+Andreja_Update1 > 0?]

"When agents are assigned a mission, we are taken to a point outside of House Va'ruun's domain. We do not jump ourselves."

"We are never given the coordinates for Va'ruun'kai, so that we can never be forced to reveal them."

"Only a select few are ever trusted with that knowledge. I was never supposed to be able to reach home on my own."

• [or]

'"When we are assigned a mission, we are taken to a point outside of House Va'ruun's domain. We do not jump ourselves."

"We are never given the coordinates for Va'ruun'kai, our homeworld. We literally cannot return."

"Only a select few are ever trusted with that knowledge. I can never go home unless I am permitted."

...	Player	Andreja
	[INVALID > 0?] They must not be thrilled I have that information.	[+Andreja_Update2?] & [-Andreja_Update3?] After all that you have done for House Va'ruun, I am sure they are fine with it. [+Andreja_Update3?] With the way things were left, they are not thrilled with you for multiple reasons. We are frankly lucky they gave you an opportunity to walk away. [+Andreja_Update1 > 0?] Perhaps not, but there are much bigger problems in Dazra right now.
	Sounds like you're being used.	It has been deemed necessary for the protection of House Va'ruun. And for generations, it has worked. Who am I to question it? But there is something I can do.
	There must be some other way.	Perhaps there is.
	They get points for ingenuity, I'll give them that.	It is a system that has never failed them, that is certain. But perhaps this system has become the problem.

• [+Andreja_Update1 > 0?]

"If the Council is complicit, it would be foolish to confront them. But I do not think that is the truth... And there is one other place I can get answers. "

"But it means potentially putting you in danger. I cannot say for certain what will happen."

• [or]

"I cannot travel to my home, but I can reach out another way."

"But it means putting you in danger in a way you have not been before. I cannot say for certain what will happen."

...	Player	Andreja
	There's been plenty of danger so far.	And we have survived this, yes. But what comes next is different. I just want to make that clear.
	I signed on for this no matter what.	Thank you. That means a great deal.
	I didn't have anything else to do today anyway.	You do enjoy deflecting situations with humor, don't you?

"There is an old derelict starstation where I may get answers."

"I know that seems... vague. It will become clear when we arrive."

[EQS305]

Starstation UCN-48

Upon arriving at the Derelict Starstation, Andreja will say:

"All right, follow me."

"I will say again: there is danger for you here. Likely for us both. I need you to trust me."

"These stations were built by the United Colonies during the Serpent's Crusade."

"They were abandoned when peace was brokered."

"They are an excellent place to hide in plain sight."

[EQS320]

Andreja will pause in front of a wall.

[Q+320?] & [Q-330?]

"Before we go any further, I cannot stress this enough: keep your weapons at your side. Do not make any sudden moves."

"Do nothing to appear hostile."

...	Player	Andreja
	I'll decide when hostility is necessary.	Then I hope, for your sake, your judgment is sound.
	I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect us.	I appreciate your vigilance, but anything threatening could get you killed.
	Okay. I trust you.	Thank you.
	What are we walking into here?	This is the only place I can get answers. The only connection I have to House Va'ruun.

"Please, give me a moment."

[EQS330]

A hidden pathway opens behind the wall panel.

[EQS340]

Confront Tomisar

Tomisar:

"Andreja, my dear. What an unexpected surprise."

"Had I known you were coming, I would have prepared."

"You are quite early... Your next report was scheduled for two months from now. A surprising breach of protocol."

"And it seems you have brought someone with you, which is... disappointing. Completely against the rules of our arrangement."

[EQS342]

"Do you care to explain yourself, before I relay this to the High Council?"

Andreja:

"I am not the one who needs to explain himself, Tomisar."

Tomisar:

"I am surprised by your tone! What has gotten into you? This is very unlike you. Almost... insubordinate."

Andreja:

"I know what you have done. The messages you sent."

Tomisar:

"You are not making any sense. Of course I send you messages. That is how this works. That is how it has always worked."

Andreja:

"Not to me! To the Zealots! To the fanatics who murdered my friends, who tried to murder me!"

Tomisar:

"You must be mistaken. Or perhaps confused. Nothing like that has ever happened."

Andreja:

"Enough!"

"I have the transcripts, Tomisar. You did this. You told them where to find us."

Tomisar:

"Now, let us just take a moment. No one wants to make accusations they might regret..."

[EQS360]

--

[Q+360?] & [Q-370?]

Tomisar:

"You! You are from that Constellation group! I've heard all about you!"

"You have turned her against me, filled her head with lies! This will not be allowed to stand!"

...	Player	Tomisar
	Sounds like you're the one who's been lying to her.	You know nothing of it!
	I'm just here for the fireworks, pal.	I think you shall find that to be a terrible mistake...
	I'm here to support my friend. Something it seems she's been lacking.	Insolence! You have corrupted her!

Andreja:

"I said enough! This is between you and me!"

Tomisar:

"This has gone far enough. Talk some sense into her at once!"

"Neither of you would dare lift a finger against me, against House Va'ruun!"

...	Player	Tomisar
	[+Serpeant's Embrace?] The Great Serpent does not abide treachery, Tomisar. You should know that as well as anyone.	I speak for the Great Serpent, not you! I decide what is treachery!
	She looks ready to kill you.	No, please!
	Maybe being a little more honest would help.	But... I am!
🗣︎	You think you can just keep lying?	I have already said this is a misunderstanding!

Tomisar:

"If you let Andreja hurt me... I am her only link to the High Council, to House Va'ruun! Without me, she can never return home!"

"You must make her listen to reason!"

[EQS370]

--

[+Andreja_Update1 > 0?] & [-Andreja_Update3?]

Andreja:

"Unfortunately for you, Tomisar... That is no longer true. You are not my only path to Dazra."

...	Player	Tomisar
	[+Serpeant's Embrace?] I have walked the Serpent's Path. All Must Serve.	What in the Serpent's name?... How can you possibly know that!
	[+Andreja_Update2?] Haven't you heard? Not only am I one of you, I'm the savior of Dazra.	That is preposterous! There has not been a convert in generations!
	It's true. I've been to the Kavnyk system, and can go back anytime I feel like it.	How do you know that name? It has been a secret for generations!
	I guess you didn't get the memo. I'm Promised now.	No... That cannot be! It would never be allowed!
	When's the last time you spoke to anyone in Dazra?	Communications have been sparse, erratic, but... But that has nothing to do with this! You know nothing of our situation!

Tomisar:

"I had heard... something happened in Dazra... But you cannot possibly be the one they spoke of!"

--

[Q+370?] & [Q-375?] & [Q-380?] & [Q-385?] & [Q-390?]

Andreja:

"He is responsible. He deserves to die."

Tomisar:

"Did you not hear me? You do this, you lose everything!"

Andreja:

"I heard you! I know what it costs me!"

"But... he deserves it, does he not?"

...	Player	Andreja
	If you do this, there are consequences.	I have been betrayed. Why should I care anymore?
	No one else needs to die right now.	He gave my friends to the Zealots. He might as well have killed them himself. How does that not warrant justice?
X	[Q+371?] Show the Council. Let them deal with him.	Fine. [QE385]
🗣︎	Isn't there some other way?	I do not know... maybe... Maybe if the High Council sees what he has done... [QE371]

Andreja:

"The only thing keeping him alive right now is... I know that if I do this, I lose my home. Probably forever."

"I do not... I do not know what to do..."

...	Player	Andreja
	Give your friends the vengeance they deserve.	Yes... Yes. It is the only right thing. [QE390]
	He's not worth it. You would lose too much.	I know, but... I want to, so badly. I do not know how to live with this... [QE380]
	I'll do it, so you don't have to.	So be it. [QE375]

Decide Tomisar's fate

Tomisar Lives

[Q+380?] | [Q+385?]

Andreja:

"Consider yourself fortunate. You get to live."

Tomisar:

"This... This is not over! The High Council will hear of your treason!"

Andreja:

"Perhaps they will hear of your actions as well, Tomisar. Think on that."

"Come. Let us leave this place. I wish to return ot the Lodge."

[EQS381]

--

Tomisar:

"You will regret this!"

• "I will see to it that you pay for this!"
• "You will not get away with this!"
• [+Andreja_Update1 > 0?]
  "It does not matter if you have been to Dazra, if you are Promised! You will pay!"
• [+Andreja_Update1 > 0?]
  "I will reach the High Council before you ever can, I assure you!"
• "You think you have won?!"

--

[Q+380?] & [Q+400?] & [Q-500?]

Andreja:

"He does not deserve to be alive, after what he has done."

"But I have leverage over him, should I ever need it."

...	Player	Andreja
	Maybe it's time to renegotiate your arrangement.	Perhaps. It is something I will consider.
	You can make him squirm for a good, long time.	Indeed I can. And believe me, I will.
	You're doing the right thing.	I am not convinced "the right thing" exists. But thank you for saying so.

"I am glad to have had you here with me."

"After this, I know that the two of us are unstoppable."

"But for the moment, I would very much like to return to the Lodge."

[EQS500]

Andreja kills Tomisar

[Q+390?]

Andreja:

"You betrayed me, Tomisar."

"When you see the Great Serpent, be sure and tell him who sent you."

--

[Q+395?] & [Q+400?] & [Q-500?]

"That… Felt good."

...	Player	Andreja
	Killing someone who deserves it always does.	It does, doesn't it?
	I hope you haven't sacrificed too much.	We will find out. There is no going back now.
	You may never find your way home now.	I know, and I am not sure what that means for me in the future.

"I know in my heart the Great Serpent will see that I have done what is right, no matter what House Va'ruun may say."

"And whatever comes next, I know that I can count on you to face it with me."

"We should leave this place. Can we return to the Lodge?"

[EQS500]

--

Player kills Tomisar

[Q+375?] & [Q+400?] & [Q-500?]

Andreja:

"It is good to see justice done… But it should have been at my hand, not yours."

...	Player	Andreja
	You've been through enough already.	"Thank you" seems inappropriate, given what you have done. But I do not know what else to say.
	Killing someone from House Va'ruun couldn't be good for you.	No, of course not. The Great Serpent would surely punish me.
	I care about you too much to let you do it.	I am... flattered? I do not know what to say. No one has ever expressed feelings like that before.

"For now, I suppose, this matter is done. I do not know if I will face punishment, either in this life or the next."

"I am... so tired."

"Can we, at least for the moment, return to the Lodge?"

[EQS500]

--

Player kills Tomisar anyway

[Q+399?] & [Q-500?]

Andreja:

"Why?"

"Why would you do that?"

• [Q+380?]
  "We agreed we were going to leave him!"
• [Q+390?]
  "I was supposed to be the one to do it!"

...	Player	Andreja
	I changed my mind.	You do not get to make that decision! Not without me!
	We both know he deserved it.	That is not the point!
	I didn't like the way he talked to you.	Neither did I, but... we agreed!
	Oops. That was an accident.	This is no time for jokes!
	[Q+390?] I wanted to spare you.	That was not your decision to make!

"I am not sorry he is dead, but... This is not how it was supposed to go."

"We can discuss this later. Right now we need to get out of here. And then, we need to return to the Lodge."

[EQS500]

The Lodge

Upon arriving at the lodge, Andreja wants you to speak to her in her room.

• [+Andreja_Update3 > 0?]

"I fear that after all that has happened, the way you left things in Dazra... I am unsure of my place in House Va'ruun."

	The Lodge will always be here for you. We all will.	Yes, I know that I am not completely alone, and that offers some comfort. But it is more complicated than that...
	Don't jump to conclusions. You don't know what will happen.	No, I do not. But I cannot help but worry.

"I have killed the man who was supposed to be my contact with House Va'ruun."

"What if I do not have a chance to explain? What if I am branded a traitor?"

• [-Andreja_Update1?]

"I have killed the man who was the only connection to my people."

"I have no way to reach House Va'ruun now. What if I am cut off from them forever? What if I am branded a traitor?"

...	Player	Response
	You know in your heart that you did the right thing.	Yes, but the consequences go far beyond his life.
	He deserved to die for what he'd done to you and your friends.	I do not deny that, but in the moment I was so consumed by rage. The consequences are only just now becoming clear to me.
	You've got us. You don't need House Va'ruun.	That is so easy for you to say!

--

[Q+380] & [Q-399]

"I worry that I have made a mistake. What if Tomisar betrays me to the High Council?"

"What if he turns House Va'ruun against me, and I am cut off from them forever?"

...	Player	Response
	That's not going to happen.	I appreciate you saying so, but you do not know that for sure.
	You've done the right thing so far. Don't second guess yourself.	It might not be enough. I may have miscalculated.
	Whatever happens next, I'll be here with you.	I know you will, but that may not be enough.

--

"I do not know how to live without some connection to House Va'ruun."

"The Great Serpent has always been a guiding force in my life, the force that drives all that I do. What... what if I have lost that?"

...	Player	Response
	You don't need House Va'ruun. You have a family in Constellation.	I am unsure it is that simple. But you are right, I do have people here who care about me. Chief among them, it seems, is you.
	Your connection to the Great Serpent was never through Tomisar. It's still there, inside you.	Yes, that is true. Whatever else has happened, or will happen, the Great Serpent still holds a purpose for me.
	If House Va'ruun abandons you now, they're making a huge mistake.	Mmm-hmm. I doubt they would listen to you, but the thought means a great deal.
	You need to just forget about all this. Put the past behind you.	I do not think you understand what you are suggesting. I cannot simply abandon my entire life. Clearly you do not comprehend the importance of the Great Serpent. To me, personally. But I suppose that is to be expected. Still, I know you mean to try and comfort me.

"You have been by my side through all of this, the most turbulent time in my life. And you have supported me faithfully."

"I have never been able to count on any single person the way I have with you. If I am repeating myself, you will have to forgive me. I just cannot overstate what it means to me."

...	Player	Response
	[Friendship] That's what best friends are for, isn't it?	I have never had a "best friend" but I believe that sounds right. [Best Friend]
	[Romance] I'll always be here for you. I love you.	Well that is... I am sorry, I need a moment.

• [+FlirtCount > 0?]

• [+ExistingRomance?]

"I am afraid, though, that it cannot be. I am not willing to share you with anyone else, and you are already in a relationship."

"I could, however, use a best friend. And I think you would fit that role very well."

[Best Friends]

• [-ExistingRomance?]

"We must be clear on one thing from the very beginning. I do not share."

"If you are mine, then you are mine alone. No one else will come between us."

"If that is not a commitment you are willing to make, I understand. But I will not compromise."

...	Player	Response
	I am all yours, for as long as you want me.	Then truly nothing can stop us. We will be a force to be reckoned with.
	[Friendship] Maybe it's better if we just remain friends.	If that is your wish, then I will respect it. [Best Friend]
🗣︎	Are you sure this is what you want?	Oh, I am quite certain. Do not doubt my intent.

"You have brought a joy to my life that I could not have imagined, and could never have expected."

"With you at my side, love, I look forward to everything that comes next."

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Mission system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all entries may appear in your log; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the mission is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with missions that have multiple possible outcomes or missions where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Mission" it means the mission disappears from the Active Mission list, but you may still receive new entries for that mission.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the mission by entering setstage COM_Quest_Andreja_Q01 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) mission stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the mission using resetquest COM_Quest_Andreja_Q01.
