However, another shot is fired and hits Pollix for 1 damage. Torin drags the first stunned culprit toward the center of the room near the fountain. Wes stylishly attacks the remaining enemy, who is a Trandoshan, but misses with 4 stun bolts. He switches to kill, but not before the enemy can toss a thermal detonator at the body of his accomplice to stop him from talking. Wes split's the Trandoshan's head in two with his shot. 15 civilians are killed in the thermal detonator blast.

    • Later that evening the Trandoshan's holocorder rings, and Torin answers by clumsily putting the Trandoshan in front of the holocorder. There is no visual, but the voice states, "You didn't contact me," before he realizes that the Trandoshan has been compromised and disconnects the call. The group notes the frequency.
