"I'm sorry I couldn't take you to Dromund Kaas as promised. I should not have left as curtly as I had... Only a few minutes ago did I realize how it must have looked to you. Reason for the abrupt departure relates directly to the business I don't wish to involve you, government being the messy affair it will always be. It's really uncertain how long this business will take, perhaps three or four weeks, but in the meantime you can still do your assignments. Any questions you may have remember to select the small flag in the upper left corner to "bookmark" the page. When I return we may go over whatever you wish explained."

"CUT THE POWER! Empty those power cell sockets! Lieutenant I said to keep those powered off for a reason."

"We are in transport, not the testing field! Ah, by the Balance... Oh bother it was still recor--everything is fine. Just a miscommunication...ahem. As I was saying, it may be a while before I return but you've everything you need until then. Though I would ask two favors of you during that time. First is Vectivus. He may be a carnivore but he detests meat from a can and only hides when one of the drones brings him his mice. If I find another nest in my library... So I ask you bring him one or two a day while I'm gone. You don't have to watch, and remember they're just lab mice my dear. Second favor is--heh, goodness-- continue drawing mustaches on drone #44582-C. The fact it became self-conscious and sought removal of the marker is fascinating and a bit troubling, so I would like to continue studying it further. Perhaps residual personalities remain...or are the drones developing their own?"

"There's the tone. I know you'll take care of yourself, and I look forward to seeing you and the station again. Until then, farewell."
