The familiar Chiss anchor greets the viewers with a beaming smile.
“We are pleased to report that Master Smuggler Nah Olos has been found alive and well! This concludes a decade of searching for the Guild’s retired Leader, who went missing Year 11. Guild Quarterly is live at the scene...”
Holo breaks to Sol Mazer talking to the press at the edge of a forest.
“We are over joyed to have found Master Olos! For about three years I was close to inconsolable. Sure, winning the over-under bet of locating him was nice… That was around Year 12? Maybe 13? In any case, I’m glad he’s back…”
The reporter in front of Mazer asks, “How did you find him?”
“Well, we should have found him sooner!! When we took over Mennaalii, the Mrlssi had us write in a clause of the governing contract that they would not be responsible for any mishap due to the Twee-HeeTOOT Brekkkah-BREKKAHHH HehehehhehhhEEEE - which loosely translates to ‘Spooky, Little Gundark.’ I should have been like, ‘What’s that?’ You know?”
“Fast forward to last week. The Mrlssi are super miffed about the trash left behind from the Underworld Race. They are going on and on about litter, bralettes, and cigarette butts all over the country side. So, I’m like, ‘FINE!’ Anything to stop the holo-calls, you know? I get back here and the place is a royal mess. Worse than Smugapalooza 08. We’re still not on speaking terms with the Wookies over that! Anyway, I’m out on the course where Jensen totaled a speeder during a test run and I hear this sound coming from the woods… Like animal and droid sounds all mixed up and I think, ‘Nine Hells!! It’s the Spooky, Little Gundark! The legends are TRUE!’ I ready my DD6 and slowly make my way around the trashed speeder and see this thing dressed in leaves poking around the wreck. Lo and behold, it’s Nah Olos!”
“Turns out, he crashed here in Year 11! He’d been plotting hyper courses by hand- which he loves to do- forgot to carry the one, and slammed into Mrlsst.”
Olos bursts into the image with a gonk droid in tow. He announces,
“Melio has brought the Great Boats to bridge our Worlds with the Blue Paths! Melio, the bringer of Light and Spark! He lets the Gonk!Gonk!-Gonk! happen! He requires an offering!!” Olos runs off, weaving manically through the forest.
Mazer continues, “Melio is Nah’s gonk droid…. He’s been alone in the woods for a very long time. I think it’s safe to say he’s in a bit of shock. After a couple days at our resort in the Maw, he’ll be as cool as a credit.”
Olos returns with a handful of pinecones and leaves. He lays them before the gonk droid.
"All powerful Melio, please accept these hyperdrive parts and open the Blue Path! There is Gonk-gonk! on Corellia. I feel a disturbance in my tax shelter!" Olos then climbs onto the back of the gonk droid, gripping it by the interface opening. He begins to make a whining sound- like a hyperdrive loading up for a jump- and prods the gonk into motion. The droid trundles into the woods with Olos shouting praises and making hyper travel sounds. Mazer, witnessing this spectacle shouts,
“Nah! The ship is this way!.. Excuse me, please.” Mazer leaves view and reappears chasing Olos and Melio through the brush.
The holo view snaps back to the studio. The Chiss signs off saying,
“There you have it. The Guild welcomes the return of Master Nah Olos. Certainly a day to celebrate in the Smugglers Guild.”
