Saylah, my vanguard,  just got Elara, and I was kinda a fan.  I didn’t understand why other people complained that she was a stuck up spoilsport. She was competent, to the point, and…

***I GUESS THERE ARE MILD SPOILERS BELOW ABOUT ELARA DORNE, TROOPER COMPANION, AND TROOPER NPC STORYLINE INTERACTIONS ON TARIS AND NAR SHADDAA***

… suggested that I shoot an imp in the head.  No complaints there.  After enduring Tharan the whiner, I was relieved to have a healer who wasn’t a total grating jerkwad.

Then we got to Nar Shaddaa, and Saylah met hottie SIS agent Jonas Belkar.  Nom nom nom.  Well, Cat Bauer wasn’t making any passes yet, so poor Saylah was kinda feeling neglected.  All Cat Bauer is doing at this point is questioning her ability to lead, which is very annoying.  Plus he’s coughing up hairballs everywhere and left a dead womprat in the captain’s quarters.  I think it was supposed to be a present.

Anyway, Jonas comes along, all tall, dark, and sleazy.  There are multiple flirt options and you bet your ass I’m taking every one of them that I can.  However, at first flirt, Elara comes along like Spaceballs Virgin Alarm and tosses cold water all over Saylah’s mojo.

She just will NOT shut up.  Trust me, I picked the “STFU ELARA” dialogue option and she just went on and on about interfering with the mission.

I’m your commanding officer!  I’ll send you out for slicing mats!

After all that, Jonas didn’t even put out!  I hope to see him again later… and if I do, I’ll leave Elara’s snotty ass on the ship.  M1-4X would surely be in favor of patriotic soldiers of the republic creating little soldiers.  Yeah, that’s it.
