Is there a way to manually advance the story? I ran into some sort of glitch where I can't activate the scene where the mercenaries try to take the droid intelligence. There's a TSF Officer, an Ithorian, and the Droid just standing there, and they won't do anything except say a single sentence. I think it may have to do with a mod conflict or something, but I don't know what one(s), and I installed a ton of mods, so I have no idea where to begin looking for the cause. All I want to do is just make it off Telos, but the Telos skip mod just makes all the information terminals useless, so I can't skip it either.

How about removing your override folder, loading a previous save and having another go at it? If your saves are corrupt, start again, install ONLY the skip telos mod and see how that works out for ya.
