"I am sorry Master Gundark," Xeth says, cringing. The pain is intense. "I could not stop them. I know Master Yoda says that size matters not and that the crude matter of muscles means nothing, but the Dark Jedi have proved us wrong on that one. Though I am nimble, I..." Xeth stops, taking a few gasps of anguish, and continues. "...I could not contend with the Dark Jedi's strength. I am sorry we could not stop them."
"Kosta, on the other hand, did quite well, though his lightsaber was destroyed."
*As Kosta left the sceene of the duel he made sure to pick up his broken saber, the crystals may still be intact and he may be able to use them to build another one*
*Kosta had no problems carrying Xeth, he is small and fairly light*
Kosta bowed to the unfamiliar jedi*
*He put him down gently so as not to cause him pain*
"I am Kosta Quel Thaas"
As you tend to your wounded and think over the situation, you know that this stage of the Chase is over. The Dark Siders have moved on by now from their scattering over the Galaxy- and not only do you have the same worries as Ascar that Kuylen will find the Mausoleum, the revelation by Marcus and yerssot that the Dark Siders have successfully eliminated Persis and taken the Astrolabe confirms your worst fears. The Dark Siders now have the Mausoleum's location.
But you are not done yet. For a start, you have the location yourself. Secondly, you both have leads. Yerssot's tracking device on the shipo the Dark Siders stole from Tartarus soon stops functioning, presumably discovered, but it remains active long enough for you to get a trace on the route they were taking through hyperspace. On its own this is of dubious use- but Gundark and Xeth discovered Kuylen's ship on Nar Shadda, and they are able to track that as it goes into hyperspace as well. With two bearings, you will be able to calculate an approximate idea of their destination. Galder's ship has been captured by the Jedi on Tartarus- a notable success, especially as the special hyperdrive inside it has been taken also. Gundark and Xeth disabled the long-range hyperdrive on Kuylen's ship as well. There can be nno question that they can replace these units with similar ones, so you must have slowed the Dark Siders at the very least.
Latara can report to you that the Miramar on Belseraphon, having heard news of her release, have already rebelled (having also spoken to the Jedi yuo sent there about the truth of the situation- the Miramar did not know that Kuylen wanted to ressurect the Sith, the Miramar's deadliest ancestral enemy), they have rebelled and thrown Kuylen's agents off the planet. By the descriptions you have, one is the man Takuan you saw on Malastare- but the other is a Zabrak you have not heard of. Along with this girl seen on Tartarus and the new bad guys on Nar Shadda, it seems that Kuylen has recruited a very solid group of followers in his time.
Now you must leave, to begin your final pursuit of the Dark Siders. First, those of you on this final journey will rendezvous and some convenient location, Then you will plunge out into the unknown, out of Republican space, towards the very outer edge of the Galaxy- for your meeting with destiny.
