****{{anchor|artefact}}'''Narrator:''' *You suddenly feel a strange anxiety take hold - not your own, but that of the artefact you carry. Somehow, ''it's afraid''...*

****'''Narrator:''' *You attune your mind to it. The artefact does not want to fall into the gith raiders' hands any more than it does the Absolute followers'.*

****'''Kithrak Voss:''' Help us find it and I will leave your blood beneath your skin, unspilled.

*****{{dopt|'''Player:''' I'll help if I can.}}

******'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Of course. Obedience is your only hope. Now stand still...

******{{anchor|detect}}'''Narrator''': *He begins to move his hand in a quick flurry of gestures.*

*******{{dopt|'''Player''': ''Do nothing''}}

********{{anchor|detectfail}}'''Kith'rak Voss''': What's this...?

********'''Kith'rak Voss''': ''Ts'kva!'' You carry a ''ghaik'' parasite in your head! Death will be a kindness to you...

*********{{anchor|failcase}}'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Baretha! Rid us of this worm. I need to continue the hunt for the weapon.  

*********{{anchor|latefail}}'''Sarth Baretha:''' At once... ''Htak'a!''

************{{anchor|detectpass}}'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Bah! Nothing even approaching a useful thought in that skull. I ought to just kill you...

***************{{anchor|spare}}'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Unlikely you'd be successful... but it costs me nothing to spare your sorry life.

***************{{anchor|recruited}}'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Very well, ''istik''. Seek out survivors from the ship that crashed on this wretched world.

***************'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Bring me their heads. Bring me the ''weapon''. If you succeed, the reward will be great.

***************'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Now go.

***************{{anchor|buffslaves}}'''Kith'rak Voss:''' So bold in the face of death... Perhaps you may live after all.

***************'''Kith'rak Voss:''' Better to let stronger blood thrive. It can give rise to worthier foes and hardier slaves. Don't disappoint me.
