In a Dark Temple.
Beware you master,
beware your apprentice.
Never be taken by surprise.
Lord Kallig: Yes - yes! I have been waiting for you. I felt you movements in the Force, and they strirred me from my nightmare. I am still too weak to leave, but I knew if I made myself enough of a nuisance, you would eventually come. The Sith throw flesh endlessly at what they cannot control. And here you are, blood of my blood. Here you are.
Taiten: What are you talking about?
Lord Kallig: Ah, you don't know me. Has our family fallen so far that the daughter of my daughters does not know the name of Kallig, the name so long revered in the annals of the Sith? You are my descendant - by how many generation, I do not know - but know this: Your strength in the Force has awakened me from my stupor.

Lord Kallig: When the weaklings of the planet trespassed my tomb, I rose, resuming my former life. This temple became my kingdom, and I was once more a Lord of the Sith. But when you first grasped the hilt of your lightsaber, I knew my hour had come and gone - that your strength, not mine, would return our family to glory.
Taiten: But I'm a former slave!
Lord Kallig: That is my shame. I was once one of the greatest Lords of the Sith. If I'd been wiser, I could have secured my family's greatness. But I let down my guard and was betrayed by a man called Tulak Hord, whom I trusted as a friend.
Khem Val: And yet you speak as if alive. I would serve my master well to correct that.
Lord Kallig: Ha! Your master is dead, beast. You serve the child of Kallig now. Flesh of my flesh, you should teach your servant to obey.
Taiten: I defeated him once. I can control him.
Lord Kallig: Such confidence. Such pride. In restoring our bloodline to glory, you must not make the same mistake. Treachery is the Sith's endless game - you must win it.
Taiten: I couldn't care less about our "bloodline."
Lord Kallig: Fool! You think that you have risen to power in spite of your nothingness, but your nothingness must have had a purpose. And when that purpose is exhausted, you will go back to being nothing. Beware you master, beware your apprentice. Never be taken by surprise. Do these things, and you will be unstoppable. But you have not come to see me; you have come for the artifact I managed to wrest from Tulak Hord before he died. Take the artifact, but be careful - I know not what is does. Only that betrayal follows it everywhere.
Taiten: I'll use caution.
Lord Kallig: I hunger for the day when our power will be restored. We will meet again.
