Who is guilty in kotor

Doesn't mean I really have to have liked the slime-ball. We actually got along pretty well most of the time. We just had our We were actually business partners. We were involved in some orbit-to-ground transport operations for Aratech.

Rickard Lusoff: You Jedi are so predictable. Always seeing some greater purpose behind everything, when the simple answer is usually the right one.

Can't you see that it must have been Handon? I found him standing over the damned body! I don't know why this is causing you so much trouble. You almost seem as lost as this Bolook guy. You thought Calder was cheating you! Rickard Lusoff: Now, I don't love Calder, but we go back a long way. We run a sub-orbital shipping and transport company out of Garang spaceport.

We've been partners in that business for well over twenty years, and we've been doing just fine the way we are. You can deny it, but there was bad blood between you! Bolook: We know Rickard lied about the sun blinding him while he was shooting, but we need more to go on.

Let's examine the relationship of each man with the victim. Handon told me he barely knew the victim. On the other hand, Rickard and the victim were business partners. However, according to Rickard they got along quite well. On the surface, neither man seems to have a motive for killing Calder. Let me try something else. Neither man has a motive for murder, at least according to their own accounts. What do you think? I'm stumped. He had rented a speeder with Calder. He was probably stalking him.

Bolook: The Southwood company's record did say that Calder and Handon had rented a landspeeder together several times. This shows that he did, in fact, know the victim. But this hardly counts as a motive for murder. I'm afraid I can't accept your judgment on this point.

Bolook: I have no idea what evidence you could base that on. Just a theory. Bolook: It is strange that Handon should be here at the exact time of the murder. But, no, that is not any sort of firm evidence to prove that he was stalking Calder. It could still be simple chance. Bolook: Supposition does not equal evidence.

He does not seem like a business man. He's getting on my nerves. Bolook: I do not believe Rickard was lying about being in business with Calder.

We have a record of that, fully registered and licenced. It seems you are having trouble separating the facts from wild guesses. Maybe I was mistaken in believing you were ready for this case. Bolook: Your personal feelings towards the man should not influence your decision in this matter. There is no emotion, there is peace. If you let your emotions rule your judgment you will be of little use in cases such as these.

He knew his wife was cheating on him. They had a fight over business matters. Bolook: It is not unusual for business partners to disagree sometimes, but if he found proof Calder was cheating him things could escalate to violence. Bolook: Well, that certainly is a motive for murder. The case is taking shape; however, you mustn't jump to any quick conclusions.

Perhaps we should now focus on the murder weapon itself. You might want to see what information the witnesses and the information droid can provide you about the blaster found near the body.

What about the weapon found by the body? Rickard Lusoff: That blaster? Never seen it before. Calder himself had a preference for Echani weaponry. He had this one really nice light blaster rifle that he always used. Always wished I could get myself a rifle like the one he had Canderous: Echanis make delicate weapons with too little firepower.

Lightweight stuff, if you ask me. Rickard Lusoff: That blaster ain't it, though. Calder only had the one rifle, too, so he either must have borrowed that What do you know about the weapon found by the body? Handon: That blaster was stolen from my house last week! I never knew what happened to it. I hardly have enough money to afford a single blaster, let alone another. I can't tell you how important it is to have a weapon on hand with all these ravenous kath hounds around.

Even an iriaz can take a man down if it gets in the mood. Every settler has a weapon. It's our most prized possession. I would most appreciate it if I could have that back after you determine that Rickard is the killer.

Tell me about the weapon found at the scene. Information Droid: We cannot get any more specific analysis from that sample other than the fact it did not belong to Calder. Is there a report of Handon's blaster being stolen? Information Droid: I am sorry, but I seem to be failing you. I have searched and searched, but I cannot seem to come up with anything at all. I thought to find the record of the missing weapon report Mr. Guld filed with the authorities, but there does not seem to be one.

Bolook: So, what have you determined about the weapon found by the body? I haven't learned anything yet. The blaster didn't belong to the victim. The blaster is Handon's, but he reported it stolen. Bolook: So the blaster could be linked to anyone. I'm afraid that is not very helpful. Maybe this case is too complicated for you to solve. You have done well, but maybe this is beyond your training.

Perhaps it would be best if I returned to the Enclave and handled this myself. Unless you wish to continue your investigations? Let me get more information on the blaster. I can't solve this. I give up. The blaster is Handon's. He lied about it being stolen. Bolook: So we have caught Handon in a lie.

Interesting, but I think we may need one final piece of the puzzle. There was a blood sample on the weapon that had been sent back for analysis just before you arrived. Perhaps you could inquire with the information droid about it. Tell me about the blood sample. Information Droid: I have just received back an analysis of a sample of the blood found on the weapon.

It had been sent back to the Enclave just before you arrived. The blood on the weapon is definitely not Calder's. Unfortunately there was a bacterial contaminant in the sample that had been taken back to the laboratory, and it had become degraded. We cannot get any more specific analysis from that sample other than the fact it did not belong to Calder.

Bolook: I assume the blood on the weapon belongs to the victim, but I want to be thorough. What have you learned about the blood on the weapon?

It didn't belong to the victim. Bolook: That is surprising. So the blood must belong to one of the suspects. But which one? It's Handon's blood. It's Rickard's blood. I don't trust him! He lied to me before. Bolook: That does not prove anything. You cannot assume somone's guilt except based on the facts we have observed. It seems you are letting your personal biases influence you on this case. I'm afraid you lack the wisdom to solve this case. Bolook: If you are unable to deduce the facts of this case, then I will take the suspects back to the Enclave and handle it myself.

But since you have talked to the suspects, there is no harm in you trying further. He is clutching his side. He was limping earlier. He could have cut himself on the rocks. Bolook: Hm Handon has been moving oddly since I arrived Perhaps we should examine him a little more closely. We should examine him more closely then. Rickard Lusoff: Hey! Quit it! Bolook: Rickard does not seem to be bleeding.

I am not sure that it would have been possible to get his blood on the weapon. I suppose we are left with only one option Perhaps I should examine him more closely. Handon Guld: Hey! What are you doing! Bolook: There is blood! Handon appears to have suffered some sort of blaster wound to his side.

Bolook: It would seem there is one logical scenario: Handon killed Calder for having an affair with his wife. Rickard was out hunting and accidentally shot Handon after he had killed Calder. Bolook: It seems there is one likely scenario: Rickard killed Calder for cheating him in business.

While shooting Calder, he must have also hit Handon by accident. No, they are both guilty. They are both guilty. Bolook: A bold conclusion But we are not like most people, we are Jedi. Still, I would like to know how you came to this conclusion. Bolook: We know Calder was having an affair with Handon's wife, but what possible motive could Rickard have for wanting Calder dead? Bolook: We know Calder was cheating Rickard in business, but what possible motive could Handon have for wanting Calder dead?

He was also having an affair with Handon's wife! He was jealous of Calder's good looks! He wanted to rob Calder. I just have a hunch. Rickard Lusoff: What??

What are you talking about? I don't want that bantha of a wife Handon has! Bolook: I'm afraid that isn't good enough. Based on the evidence you have gathered, you are left with little choice: Handon must be found guilty. Bolook: Your theory makes no sense to me. As a Jedi you must be above making wild, unsubstantiated accusations.

Rickard thought Calder was cheating him in business! Handon admitted that Calder was having an affair with his wife! Both men had a reason to want Calder dead. This is my theory of this morning's events: both men knew Calder would be out here this morning and each plotted to kill him. Handon found him first and shot him because of the affair Calder was having with his wife.

Shortly after, Rickard arrived on the scene. From a distance he saw Handon and thought it was Calder, so he shot him in retaliation for the credits Calder had cheated him out of in their business. Handon would have dropped his blaster - the one we found at the scene covered in blood. He probably thought Rickard was going to kill him so he called us, hoping he could convince us it was Rickard. Rickard Lusoff: Damn you!

Damn both of you! Bolook: That is enough. The culpability of both of you in the murder - and attempted murder - of Calder Nettic is evident. Additionally, Rickard Lusoff can be charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder of Handon Guld. I place you both under the arrest of the Jedi Order, and will escort you to holding facilities in the Jedi Enclave. You have done well here, it is obvious you have been studying your lessons carefully. I will be sure to inform the Jedi Council of your performance in this little test.

Bastila: Well done. I am impressed I'm not sure I could have done as well. Carth: You did good. You might just make a proper Jedi yet, who knows? T3-M4: [happily] Beep-beep boop!

Thanks, Teethree. Bolook: Good day, and may the Force be with you. Journal Entry Added: Murdered Settler You've successfully solved the crime by realizing that both men were guilty. Although it was Handon who actually killed Calder, Rickard would have killed him had he arrived a little sooner. The two suspects have both been taken into custody, and Bolook is certain to tell the Jedi Council of your brilliant deductive skills.

No, Handon is the guilty one. Handon did it. No, Rickard is the guilty one. It was Rickard. Bolook: An interesting theory, but what do you base that on? What possible motive could he have had? Bolook: Interesting. And why do you believe that? He wanted to steal his blaster. He had the opportunity and took it. Calder was secretly a Sith agent. He wanted to steal Calder's blaster. Bolook: Possible He could have dumped it in the river, but that is unlikely because it would have damaged the weapon.

I do not believe that was the case. The facts in this investigation do not point towards such an event taking place. Bolook: I do not believe that was the case. There are too many points that show intent for it to be a random killing. Bolook: I have no idea upon what you based that assumption. I assure you that no facts in this case point towards that possibility at all.

There is no evidence of a weapon at all, other than Handon's. The facts in this investigation do not point towards such a motive. There are too many facts that point towards other possibilities. Bolook: I do not believe your logic is up to the task of deciding who is guilty in this case.

I will take these men to the enclave and deal with this matter myself. If you must. Bolook: [Success] Hm. You have been of great assistance already. Perhaps it was merely a mistake on your part. Very well, you may yet discover who committed this crime. Who do you believe killed Calder Nettic? Bolook: [Failure] No, you have done what you can already, and it appears to be beyond your abilities. Perhaps with more training you would have done better.

Bolook: [Failure] Do not try to use mental powers on me, human! I am far more advanced in my training than you! Bolook: Do not despair. Although you couldn't solve the case you handled yourself in a manner befitting a Jedi.

Once you have more training and experience I am certain you will be able to handle matters such as this. Bolook: I will take the suspects to the Enclave to judge them myself. Rest assured, I will give the Council a full account of your actions here. Calder was cheating with his wife. I agree. Calder was taking money from their business. Bolook: Yes, I concur. That is a good motive for Handon to have. And Handon being the killer matches with the facts of the case as presented so far. Bolook: Yes, I believe that has some truth in it.

It would be quite a motive for him to seek revenge upon Mr. Bolook: And so you have made your judgment in this case. Rickard Lusoff: I can leave now, then? Handon Guld: Good, good. I assume I am permitted to leave now? You can go now. Stay out of trouble from now on. I could let you go for I will be sure to inform the Council of it. The judgment has been rendered. You may leave, Mr. For now. Bolook: A Jedi does not exploit their position!

Have you learned nothing during your training? Handon Guld: What! The Jedi Enclave on the planet was notified, and a Jedi named Tooka was dispatched to break up the fight. Concurrently, Nettic had been engaging in an affair with the wife of a man named Handon Guld.

Nettic and Guld repeatedly rented a speeder together, and following their time together, Guld discovered the affair Nettic had with his wife. Enraged, he plotted to murder Nettic. At the same time, Lusoff planned to kill Nettic, feeling cheated out of money.

Several weeks after the destruction of the Outer Rim ecumenopolis world of Taris at the hands of the Sith Empire , [3] Nettic was out in an Ancient Grove near the Jedi Enclave during a cloudy morning. Guld intercepted him, and shot him in the back with a blaster. However, at the same time, Lusoff was also planning to kill Nettic.

Seeing Guld standing there, Lusoff took the shot with his hunting rifle , shooting Guld in the side of his abdomen. When he ran out of the brush, Lusoff injured his leg , while Guld dropped his blaster and called the authorities, beleiving he was about to be killed. A Jedi Master named Bolook was assigned to the scene, and filled the role of an investigator.

Bolook brought with him an information droid , which was able to access the archives in the Jedi Enclave, and well as the Capital of Garang.

Go all the way right and enter the Grove area. From here, you'll want to fight more Kath Hounds in your way, and then head left to a bridge.

A Twi'lek Jedi is on this bridge, awaiting you with a side quest As you approach the Twi'lek on the bridge, he'll tell you you're just in time to prove your skills. His name is Bolook, a Jedi sent by the Jedi Council to investigate a murder in the area. If you tell him you don't want to and he leaves, that's it, you won't have a chance to do this side quest at all.

Even though it's en route to you becoming a Padawan, you have to do it as soon as you run into it, or it's all over for this side quest. Accept his proposition to help him, and he'll run through the murder scenario for you. As he speaks, listen closely to what he says. This is a crime you'll have to solve verifying your data only with the droid that Bolook brought with him.

Listen carefully, make mental notes of what's said, and then question the two men yourself. Talk to Rickard Lusoff to begin with. He'll tell you a story of how he was hunting iriaz in the area who are rare now that the Kath Hound population is drastically up.

He saw one in the corner of his eye, however, and shot at it. He watched it fall and went over to it. But when he got there, the iriaz was gone! Instead, Handon Guld was crouching over the fallen body of the murder victim. Other than asking him some other questions, there's little else Rickard will tell you right now. Now, go over to the other suspect named Handon Guld.

Talk to him. He'll be very nice to you and helpful, but it doesn't mean that he's not guilty. He'll tell you that he is an avid runner, and does so to stay in shape. He says he hates speeders and often runs through the fields to and fro in order to get where he is going.

Other than that, he'll tell you very little for now. Now, you'll want to talk to the droid that Bolook brought along with him. The droid will verify more of your questions, just simply talk to him and ask him various questions until he is a for now used up source. From here you'll want to go and talk to Bolook himself. He'll begin to ask you some questions, narrowing down who you're looking at and such.

It's absolutely vital that you answer the following questions like this Follow that up with the second and final question for now , that since it was cloudy, the sun couldn't have been out and hence there was no sun glare! Talk to Rickard again. Ask him more questions.

Then talk to Handon again. You won't get much out of either guy, but you will get more out of the droid upon talking to it again. You'll find that both Handon and Rickard had somewhat personal relationships with the victim. And then you need to talk to Bolook again. This time he was lying because he was a business partner with the victim! It's starting to come together nicely, the case is.

Bolook, however, suggests you start focusing on the murder weapon. You'll want to talk to the four people Rickard, then Handon, then the droid, then Bolook once more through. You won't get much more out of Rickard, but out of Handon you will find that the victim was sleeping with his wife! Motive, motive indeed. Additionally, the droid will tell you that Handon never submitted a stolen weapon report, primarily because he was lying about it being stolen! Handon insists that he didn't murder the man, that he was simply running.

Talk to Bolook now, and answer with the answer that Handon is lying, but make sure to choose the choice that explicitly says that he was lying about the gun being stolen! Bolook senses that you are indeed close to solving the crime Upon talking to both Handon and Rickard again, you won't learn much new. But by talking to the droid, the final piece of the puzzle comes to you - the blood on the gun wasn't the victim's. Although the blood has been degraded due to a bacteria present on the gun's handle, the droid can verify it definitely was not the Calder's, the victim.

Find a contradiction in a witness testimony against what is told by the droid. That's all you need to do at each stage, really. Took me awhile to figure it out but you need to talk to Bolook and Discuss a murder. Then you say that Rickard lied. This will not conclude your investigation, instead will allow you to question them further.

I think the frustration here is that for some of, the droid has exactly 2 lines: 1 About the body it died 3 hrs ago , 2 What are the surroundings like? And nothing about the people. Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 3 Mar, am. Posts: Discussions Rules and Guidelines.
