Changes made from the original script: A Hassk pirate named Vusk was to place the curse on Kaz instead of Nikto pirate Leoz. Earlier versions of the script called it the Curse of Mavala, as well as the Curse of Aka Du. One version of the story had the curse be real, but Mika found it easier to remove if she let Kaz believe it was fake. The talisman was said, at one point, to be something Mika discovered on Mimban. Another iteration of the story had it be a toy doll that Eila was missing.
