“根据我收到的数据，”探测机器人缓慢地说，“百分之八十二的矿石可被提纯为武器级别的科托西斯护罩。”
Plagueis looked at Tenebrous, who returned a nod of satisfaction. "The percentage is consistent with what I was told to expect."
普雷格斯看向泰尼布勒斯，后者则满意地点了点头。“这一比例与我所被告知的一致。”
"By whom, Master?"
“谁告知的，师父？”
"Of no consequence," Tenebrous said.
“没什么，”泰尼布勒斯回复。
Strewn about the superheated tunnel were broken borer bits, expended gasifiers, and clogged filtration masks, all abandoned by the exploratory team that had sunk the shaft several standard months earlier. From the shaft's broad mouth issued the repeated reports of the probe droid's hydraulic jacks. Music to Tenebrous's auditory organs, Plagueis was certain.
在过热的隧道四周散落着碎裂的钻孔机、膨胀的气化炉和堵塞的过滤面罩，所有这些都是被几个月前进入竖井的开采队遗弃的。从竖井口反复发出了探测器的液压千斤顶的运作声。这对于泰尼布勒斯而言又如音乐。普雷格斯可以确信这一点。
"Can you not share your plans for this discovery?"
“你就不能分享你对此发现的计划吗？”
"In due time, Darth Plagueis." Tenebrous turned away from him to address the treddroid. "Instruct the probe to evaluate the properties of the secondary lode."
“我在把握时机，达斯·普雷格斯。”泰尼布勒斯转头又对机器人说道，“命令探测器评估次生矿脉的价值。”
Plagueis studied the screen affixed to the droid's flat head. It displayed a map of the probe's movements and a graphic analysis of its penetrating scans, which reached clear to the upper limits of the magma chamber.
