It’s a priority alert from a Romulan station. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Romulans put out an unencrypted distress signal before.

You have not, Ensign, because it does not happen. Even if their lives are at risk, a Romulan operative will never break security protocols. Something is not right about this.

Regardless, if VESTA is involved, we must investigate.

You have once again fallen for my trap, Maia. Do you ever learn from your mistakes?

You have gone too far, VESTA. You must be stopped.

Repetitive. You said that last time. You’re starting to bore me.

Commander, it is time to put my plan into action. You must engage VESTA’s drone while I attempt to disable her mainframe.

I have implanted a recursive deletion protocol into your primary codebase. In moments, your core data will begin to destroy itself.

She is gone, Commander. I have confirmed that the last remnants of her codebase have been deleted.

Was my performance believable? My creator did not instill much information on the art of ‘drama’, but I believe I captured the essence of a mortal death.

I’ve got it! There’s a structure built into the asteroid. Running sub-surface scans now…

Reading two-hundred bodies, Commander. No lifesigns. It appears the life support system was shut down and the hanger doors were sealed. They asphyxiated.

They’re Romulans. If you were able to pick up their top secret laboratory on a perimeter scan, they’d be killed for incompetence.

Alright, I’ve got something. You can gloat later. Commander, there’s a nearby asteroid with some strange biometric readings. Might be concealing the Romulan lab. We should take a look.
