In Knights of the Old Republic 2, how do I make Keira turn me into a prestige class if I cannot access the ship?

I'm on Nar Shadda, and miraculously I hit that special level 15, but I'm at the point on Nar Shadda where I cannot get on the ship or change my party members. Its when the Exchange agrees to meet with your hero, alone.

BUT I REALLY wanna get my prestige class. Anyone know a way to do it?

I only ask here because the official KOTOR subreddit is taking a break thanks to Reddits API ruling. I guess I could wait a few days and ask there.
