The scientist, a Twi'lek with thick glasses, looked around nervously. "I...thank you for rescuing me. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but we need to get moving now. These...gentlemen," He gestured to the gang of Mandalorian criminals Isabella had subdued and bound. "They had me resurrect an ancient virus from mummified tissue. I've never seen anything like it. It could wipe out a planet in a few days. When their boss releases it..."
"Whoa whoa whoa, what are you saying?" One of gang members interrupted. "The boss said we were just going to use it to extort money from the Republic!"
"Shut the hell up!" Another shouted.
"No, he told me he plans to release it into the jet streams. You must stop him." The scientist told her. "He'll need to head to the norther poles. If you take one of their shuttles you can catch up with him."
