Conversation with Dravis[]
Dravis: Who sent you?
PC: What?
Dravis: Look, if you're here about the kid... It's not mine
PC: I don't care about that.
Dravis: Are you here about that Imperial Shuttle? I'm telling you, that's an unsubstantiated rumor, nothing more. I have never stolen a shuttle in my life. Don't you think the Empire has precautions and safeguards to prevent that sort of thing?
PC: I really don't know what you are talking about.
Dravis: Well what DO you want?
PC: What are you doing here?
Dravis: I'm minding my own business. What are YOU doing here?
PC: I want to be a pilot.
Dravis: Oh you do, huh? Well what do I look like, a flight instructor? Go join the Imperial Academy if you want to learn how to fly.
PC: I don't want to fly for the Empire!
Dravis: Well, I can't say I blame you. After what happened to that massive space station of theirs!
PC: So can you teach me to fly?
Dravis: I suppose we could work something out. But you're going to owe me! And you'll need your own ship! I can't supply every wannabe freighter bum.
PC: How much is this going to cost?
Dravis: Well, training like this, it's worth its weight in spice. And I hope you don't think you're going to turn into an ace spacer overnight! Tell you what: you come to work for me and I'll teach you how to fly. We'll call it OJT - On the Job Training. Do a good job and maybe I'll even pay you, too.
PC: What do you do?
Dravis: It's Talon Karrde's idea, really. Just something we're trying out here on Tatooine. Nothing strictly what you'd call 'legal' exactly, but here in the Outer Rim who cares, you know?
PC: So you're smuggling?
Dravis: Hey, the way the Empire has been cracking down lately, it's not as if a free-freighter bum has any choice, right? Anyway, we figure we've all got to stick together, so we're forming a sort of Smugglers Alliance.
PC: Sounds great.
Dravis: Ok, I'll let Talon Karrde know we've got a new employee. Are you ready for your first assignment?
PC: Er... I don't have a ship.
Dravis: NMP. Do you know what that stands for? Not my problem. Come see me when you get your own ship.
PC: Can't you loan me one?
Dravis: Ok, fine. Look, here are the access codes to a little thing that I, uh, found. Do you think you're ready for your first assignment NOW? Or do you want me to pull it around front for you?
PC: I'm ready.
Dravis: Some of our shipments have come up missing. We suspect foul play... Why don't you run a quick patrol and make sure there's nothing under-handed going on out there? Jabba's going to be pretty angry if we start failing to deliver the goods!

PC: What about training?
Dravis: You need to do some more for me, before I do anything more for you. There'll be time for training later. Go get those Black Sun right now.

Conversation with Dravis[]
Dravis: That was quick thinking on your part, rescuing our transport like that and escorting it through. You deserve a bonus for that. I've also got something special for you... this mercenary bandolier will help you keep your things organized.
PC: Great! Thanks!
Dravis: Well these Black Sun pirates aren't getting the message. We need to hit them hard: Cut off the head and the tail will follow. I want you to kill an ace pilot operating in our area.

PC: Thanks.
Dravis: Right! I think you're ready for some additional training.

Dravis: There's no doubt all that practice has paid off. I think you've proven you're ready for some additional training.
