I was thinking, maybe the aura of the dark side that the item has captivated the kath hounds and the Imperial who we are supposed to find, and he was trapped inside it upon physical contact. I'll try to land a post in both threads sometime soon.
Actually, there is a special plot that I happened to had in mind for this one.
But before I start talking about it and possibly give away spoilers, have you played KotOR? To be more specific, have you seen what is inside the strange box (can't quite recall the details of the item really) that gets stored in the Hawk after your first landing on Korriban, from some alien guy at cantina, Rodian if the memory serves. And you are supposed to delived to that Hutt in Tatooine without opening it. Being the naughty boy I am, of course I did otherwise.
Edit: And by the way, I don't think Indigo will be returning anytime soon. We'll finish the mission on our own, it has taken far too long already.
Do you mind, in out mission thread, if I killed the body double in my post? Was writing it up and half-way through realized it was your NPC. It would be quiet rude of my to post, killing you NPCs, without first getting your go-head, opinion, or flat out no.
What say you?
You still waiting to be accepted into the Dantooine Plains? If so, it is entirely possible that they didn't see you or something, might as well want to post again, or inform BN directly.
