Jinkins says, "Hmmmm? You must be a new recruit. This crew changes faces faster than a Shi'odo spy. But I'm glad we have some fresh blood: The last "pirate" who wandered in here is still being digested by a kimogila somewhere past Rancid Ridge."
You say, "Jinkins, eh? What do you do?"
Jinkins says, "I'm Jinkins. Nym's chief engineer. Nym asks for weapons, and I build them. I joined up with the Lok Revenants a few months before the Battle of Naboo, which makes me one of this crew's oldest members, along with Kole of course."
You ask, "Who is Kole?"
Jinkins says, " Kole is Nym's first mate. He's been with this crew longer than I have. In his younger days, he was a brilliant disguise artist and even worked for a few years as an assassin. Now, he mostly watches Nym's back.
You say, "Tell me about Nym."
Jinkins says, "You must be joking... Nym is the most feared pirate in the Maramere system. He routed the Trade Federation from Lok and its neighboring planets right around the start of the Clone Wars, and he's maintained complete control over the spacelanes in this region ever since. There's nobody with more power on Lok. And except for Jabba the Hutt, he's probably the most powerful alien in the Outer Rim. The Imperials on this planet couldn't even lift Nym's shadow... And he has no love for the Empire, if you catch my meaning..."
You ask, "Do you need me to do anything for you?"
Jinkins says, "Actually, there is something I'd like you to look into, if you can. I recently intercepted a distress call from a starship that crash-landed on Lok. Ships nose-dive into the planet all the time, but this one took off from an Imperial mining installation on Lok and never made it into the atmosphere. I think it slammed down near the hideout of the Sulfur Lake Pirates. I'm very interested in this vessel...
You ask, "Who are the Sulfur Lake Pirates?"
Jinkins says, "Probably the most bloodthirsty, least-intelligent pirates on Lok. Like all the other pirate bands, they are constantly trying to dethrone Nym as Lok's reigning pirate king. They hate Nym for taking control of all the nearby hyperspace routes and claim that he's working with the Imperials. The gravel maggots have been looking for an excuse to go to war with us for years... There's a hermit living near Nym's stronghold who once worked for the Sulfur Pirates. He might be able to tell you more."
*Optional*
-------------------------------------
You ask, "Who is this hermit?"
Jinkins says, "I don't know much about him. We thingk he was some sort of droid designer for the Old Republic, but fled to Lok when the Empire took power. A few years ago, Nym used him to fence good on Coruscant. But before that, he was performing droid upgrades for the Sulfur Lake Pirates. He can probably tell you about their base."
You say, "Okay, I'll go talk to him."
Jinkins says, "Good. I'll Mark his last known location in your datapad. Be sure to ask him about the pirates, see what he knows."
-------------------------------------------
You ask, "You intercepted a distress call?"
Jinkins says, "Yes. As part of my duties, I monitor comlink and transceiver activity around the system. We don't want a Star Destroyer sneaking up on us, do we? Anyway, this particular starship interests me because it was carrying Imperial cargo. A droid, in fact, that was once owned by General Otto at an Imperial base here on Lok."
You ask, "What's so special about this droid?"
Jinkins says, "Probably nothing. But, as an Imperial droid, it might be carrying some very interesting data. Shipping schedules, guard rosters, prisoner transfer information, schematics for some terrifying super weapon... Anything the droid knows could be sold on the black market or traded back to Otto for a favor down the road. It might also tell us something about that Imperial mining facility, which we haven't been able to infiltrate. You'd be rewarded well if you could secure that droid's memory module."
You say, "I'll recover the module. Where can I find this droid?"
Jinkins says, "Excellent. I'll provide you with a waypoint to the Sulfur Lake. Our scouts learned that the Sulfur Lake Pirates have already taken the cargo - including the droid - from the crashed starship, so don't waste your time looking through the wreckage. Oh, and watch out for the pirates' "bridge troll." I'm not sure what that is but it sounds dangerous..."
* You are given a wp to the Droid Cave
Make your way through the cave until you come across a Hacker. Talk to the NPC to solve a series of riddles. The answers to the riddles are:
- Orange
- 720
- Sir!
The Hacker opens the locked door. Proceed into the fenced-in area and Loot the blue astromech droid. You will be given a Droid Memory Module. Return it to Jinkins.
Drag the DMM onto Jinkins.
Jinkins says, "Yes! That's it. This is the right model number... And this droid does instead have a history with the Empire. Now, it should be simple matter to slice this droid's brain and find out what it knows. I'll be sending any intriguing information to Kole's datapad, so you might want to talk to him next time you're in our stronghold."
Go see Kole for your next quest. |
