- "Dammit. I was hoping Murl would come through."
"We could always go back to Tae Goal."
"Tae isn't half as good a slice doc as Murl. If Murl can't fix my arm, I don't know anyone who can." - ―Chelli Lona Aphra and Sana Starros
Tae Goal was a slice doc who operated during the Imperial Era.[1] Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[2] the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra visited Goal with the smuggler Sana Starros after[1] her[3] electro-tattoos were blown out after she used a Thought Dowser aboard the Vermillion[1]—the criminal syndicate Crimson Dawn's Fortress-Flagship.[3]
Goal was not able to repair the tattoos so the pair visited the Toydarian slice doc Murl on[1] the Core Worlds planet[4] Corellia instead. After Murl was also unable to repair them, Starros suggested they go back to Goal. Aphra, however, disagreed because she felt Goal was not as good a slice doc as Murl, and if Murl could not repair them, she was not sure who could. The tattoos were eventually repaired and upgraded by the Tagge Corporation.[1]
