Sith Academy side quests

[IronPlum]

Hello Dears!

II had a severe buttheart with the Mandalorian prisoner by the Weapon Cache side quest inside the Sith base on Korriban. Seems that walkthrough via the LIght side needs having a computer skill to get the prisoner into coma.
I haven't been upgrading that skill so i've brought up a droid with me to get him shine his computer skill rank 10 on that frigging console. But it still doesnt work this way. So please PLEASE tell me, why the freck i have that friggin droid with so high skill if i have absolutelly no use of it?

Am i doing something wrong?

PS:Also there are 50 spikes neededto unlock all the prisoners in dueling room. Is there a way to find some card to avoid losing so much spikes?

Thanks in advance.

You can't free the prisoners, no matter how many spikes you have it auto-fails. Best you can do is duel them all and put them out of their misery. There's a dialogue option as you fight each of them that allows you to try and tell them that they're free, but they don't believe you and attack you anyway. It's better than being tortured to death in any case, and you get a bit of xp for it.

As far as I recall, administering the doses shouldn't require any computer use. There's a certain combination of doses that will knock him out. Make sure you talk to the Mandalorian beforehand to get him on board to give you the location of the weapon cache.

1) Thanks!
2) When you approach to the console - he tells you to go away and he will not crack. You can persuade him that you are here to let him go. He asks you to put him into coma and if you agree - there is an additional option inside the console, that makerked with [Computer skill] bars.
But i fail, robot fails, what the fuge?

You're rolling a D20 plus the modifier everytime so it still has a chance to fail, each time it fails he gets closer to overdosing apparently, so I would save scum until it works on the first go.

If you have Force Valor or any items that improve computer use, put them on as well.

So the droid does influence a success chance? Or it should be me, who needs to put on a lot of computer improving stuff to improve my chances? Or it takes average computer skill from all of my party to boost a roll?

Thanks anyway =)

The person using the computer is the one who get's their skill applied, so whoever has the highest skill should do it.
