1st Cutscene -- Meeting Qi'us Dnar[]

Qi'us Dnar: Greetings, <player>, I am Qi'us Dnar, an agent of the Shadow Syndicate.
- 1. You know who I am?
  - Qi'us Dnar: The Shadow Syndicate knows many things--and we've been expecting you.
- 2. You're very forthcoming, for a representative of something called the Shadow Syndicate.
  - Qi'us Dnar: I am not usually so candid, but I believe that someone with a reputation like yours deserves such an introduction to the Shadow Syndicate.
- 3. The Shadow Syndicate is indebted to me. The Exchange would have obliterated your organization without my intervention.
  - Qi'us Dnar: While the Shadow Syndicate recognizes your previous contributions, I must inform you that there are certain... legal technicalities... that free us from this debt.
  - Qi'us Dnar: Additionally, the Syndicate that you worked with was dissolved, some time ago. Godoba the Hutt, Vaarko Tiyai, and DX-TX are no longer in charge.
  - Qi'us Dnar: There were... disagreements that could not be reconciled. This ultimately led to ongoing disputes that weakened the Syndicate from within.
    - 1. That's unfortunate.
      - Qi'us Dnar: Not necessarily. Under our new leadership, the Shadow Syndicate is poised to become one of the most lucrative organizations in the underworld.
    - 2. What disagreements?
      - Qi'us Dnar: Disputes with parties who could not--or would not--see eye-to-eye with the Syndicate's leadership.
    - 3. So, you gave up.
      - Qi'us Dnar: We prefer the phrase, "lying low." We needed to reorganize and reestablish our organization.
    - 4. [Leave] I don't have time for a history lesson.
      - Qi'us Dnar: Another time, then. [Cutscene ends.]]
- 4. I don't recall ever hearing of the Shadow Syndicate
  - Qi'us Dnar: Our history is... complicated.
  - Qi'us Dnar: Godoba the Hutt, Vaarko Tiyai, and DX-TX formed the original Shadow Syndicate to assist the Sith Empire with their Nar Shaddaa operations.
  - Qi'us Dnar: There were... disagreements that could not be reconciled. This ultimately led to ongoing disputes that weakened the syndicate from within.
    - 1. That's unfortunate.
      - Qi'us Dnar: Not necessarily. Under our new leadership, the Shadow Syndicate is poised to become one of the most lucrative organizations in the underworld.
    - 2. What disagreements?

    - 4. [Leave] I don't have time for a history lesson.
      - Qi'us Dnar: Another time, then. [Cutscene ends.]]
- 5. [Leave] I'll let you get back to it.
  - Qi'us Dnar: Your discretion is appreciated. [Cutscene ends.]]
Fen Zeil: I have since taken the helm of the Shadow Syndicate and will make it stronger than it has ever been.
- 1. You should honor the agreement you made and help the Empire.
  - Qi'us Dnar: Our current interests lie in individuals who seek a mutually-beneficial relationship... like yourself.
- 2. What happened to your alliance with the Empire?
  - Qi'us Dnar: Our current interests lie with individuals who seek a mutually-beneficial relationship... like yourself.
Fen Zeil: We do not need to shackle ourselves in political wars. We offer our services to those who would aid us in return.
- 1. How can I be assured of the Shadow Syndicate's loyalty?
  - Fen Zeil: The Syndicate is indebted to individuals, not entities. If we have your support, you will have ours--and no one can interfere.
    - 1. How can I support the Shadow Syndicate?
      - Qi'us Dnar: We have a discerning interest in the... activities... of other syndicates throughout the galaxy.
      - Qi'us Dnar: Underworld syndicates plan their operations regularly. Should you happen upon any of these Syndicate Plans, I am sure we could make it worth your while.
        1. Acquiring information happens to be my specialty.
        Qi'us Dnar: As a token of appreciation for our new partnership, please allow me to suggest locations to explore.
        
        Qi'us Dnar: Tatooine, Quesh, Makeb, even here on Nar Shaddaa--these are all areas we would advise investigating, though we suspect there are other planets of interest, as well.
        
        Qi'us Dnar: In addition, we have intel that a Jawa aboard your Fleet has information which may prove useful in locating these Syndicate Plans.
        1. I'll keep an eye out for these Underworld Syndicate Plans.
        Qi'us Dnar: We humbly appreciate your efforts. Until next time.
        
        2. [Leave] I need some time to think about this.
        Qi'us Dnar: Of course. When you are ready to hear more details about our offer, please return. [Cutscene ends.]]
