Prologue Mission: Save the Ebon Hawk

Prologue Mission: Heal the main character

T3-M4 is the only conscious soul aboard the Ebon Hawk, and it’s up to him to restore power to the ship so that it can dock with the Peragus mining station. This little prologue acts as an introduction to KOTOR 2’s interface for neophytes; if you played KOTOR then you can safely skip it.

To begin with, leave the cockpit and head into the communications area. You’ll find a computer spike in a storage cylinder there with which you can spike the computer nearby to open the door to the main hold. Beyond that door, you’ll come to the Ebon Hawk’s little meeting area; search the body for a locker key, as well as the droid corpses for parts. Don’t worry about the banging on the blast door here; there is someone on the other side, but you won’t be able to reach them during this tutorial.

There are plenty of tutorial pop-ups in the Prologue; use them to get acquainted with the game mechanics if you never played the first KOTOR.

After you’ve looted the bodies, bang open the footlocker on the far side of the room (it’s not the locker that matches the key you found on the body). You’ll find a couple of computer spikes inside the chest, as well as a couple of broken items - it appears that bashing things open can actually break stuff inside the chest now! No more wantonly sabering every chest you see, in other words, but we’ll deal with that can of worms when we come to it.

Your first goal here is to complete the Bonus Mission and heal the character you just generated. If you open up the Low Security Door off of the Main Hold, you can get to the Medical Room, where you’re lying in state for the moment. Use T3-M4 to open the cylinder next to the bed, grab the medpac within, and "talk" to yourself in order to apply it. That’s all you need to do to ensure that you’ll survive until you hit Peragus. Well, actually, you don’t even need to do that, but it couldn’t hurt!

Prologue Mission: Repair 3C-4D

In the tradition of disposal RPG tutorial characters, you can find 3C-FD in the Cargo Hold and add him to your party by using one of the parts that you found on the droid corpses in the Main Hold. You can also find a Field Survival Pistol and some droid armor by examining the crates here; the latter is located in a locker which is unlocked by the key you found on the body earlier. Obtaining the Field Survival Pistol will also trigger a basic combat tutorial featuring the awesome might of targeting drones, so dispatch them after equipping your pistol. If you examine the crates from which the drones originated, you’ll find some Security Tunnelers in one which you can use to open the other.

Now that you have all of that junk, head up to the hull of the ship via the lift opposite the Medical Room. On the Starboard side of the hull, open up all of the hatches and the Engine Port to find multiple Parts, and use one of them on the Exposed Wiring to open up the starboard dormitory. On the Port side, you can recover a pair of mines, and retrieve a third from the impacted Proton Missile. After interfacing with all of the objects up here, you should have enough Parts to repair the hyperdrive, so head back inside.

Prologue Mission: Garage Access

Before you repair the hyperdrive, though, there’s one last area to explore. If you maneuver T3-M4 to the Inner Garage Door and park him there, you can switch over to solo mode (Back button), then use 3C-FD to slice into the security terminal in the Main Hold. From there, select Close Outer Garage Door, then Open Inner Garage Door, then flip back over to T3 to check out the garage and the Starboard dormitory. There is a workbench here, but for now, all you can make is a repair kit with which to repair T3.

Now that you’re ready to move on, use one of the mines that you obtained on the hull to blow open the Engine Room. All you need to do is place it on the door and back away; it’ll automatically detonate after a few moments, giving you access to the Hyperdrive. The Hyperdrive can be jerry-rigged to full power by using a mere five parts; you should have plenty more than that after all your running around, so fix it up and head back to the cockpit. The Galaxy Map here will get you to Peragus.
