What’s it like out there?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
There are a great many bandits and criminals in this system, so it is undoubtedly a dangerous place, especially for a known ship of treasure hunters such as ours.

Can you pinpoint the source of your existential pins and needles anywhere?

Not “EPN” for you then, Zeta.

Okay, let me see if I can direct my senses outwards… Oh!

What is it?

Masriad
Dialogue
I’ve found it! Him, I should say. However, it shouldn’t be possible. But I can feel him. There’s no mistake, it’s Joth.

Joth?
Objective ID
1,278,380,673

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
A former acquaintance of mine. But he’s dead. In this universe, anyway.

Apos Zeta
Dialogue
You knew him from another?
Objective ID
1,278,380,673
Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Yes, but in the Mirror Universe, Joth was a woman. So that means…
Objective ID
1,278,380,673
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
That means this Joth is from another universe entirely.

Computer. Open a channel to the pirate vessel occupying the coordinates I just punched in.

I know you. The Trill treasure hunter. What are you sniffing around this system for? Anything of value here I already own.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
That’s truer than you know. You have someone on your ship. Someone I know. Calls himself Joth.

Pirate Captain
Dialogue
Oh, that guy! Yeah, he’s a gibbering wreck. Keeps wailing on about our impending doom. He’s a real downer.
Objective ID

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Then let me take him off your hands.
Objective ID

Character
Pirate Captain
Dialogue
Sure thing. But it’ll cost you, of course. I can’t be seen giving away merchandise for free.

Fine. What do you want?
Objective ID

Dialogue
900,000 Dilithium ought to cover it. That okay with you?

Good work, everyone.

I wouldn’t celebrate just yet. That little fire show has attracted the attention of the other bandits in the vicinity.

They smell opportunity.

And they’re coming for it.

The Dilithium has been transported over successfully. You can send Joth now.

You know what? I don’t think I will.

What?
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Pirate Captain
Dialogue
It strikes me, if you’re willing to pay so much for him, he must be more important than I thought. So, thanks for the Dilithium, but our business is done. Bye!

Masriad

Get that scuzz-breeder back now.
Objective ID
243,768,549
Phase

Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
Apologies, Masriad. But he is refusing hails and his shields are up, which means we cannot get a lock on Joth, either.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Alright, if that’s the way he wants to play it. Disable that ship!

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
So, that’s about the shape of it, everyone. I collapsed because of this overwhelming sense of…
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Of existential pins and needles, yeah. Can we call it something a little less weird?
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Does EPN work for you?
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Yes, very much.
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Well, okay, so, the EPN is what caused me to collapse, but I don’t know what caused the EPN. But, I have used it to locate the source of the feeling at least.
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase

Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
And where is that?
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
The Azati system.
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase

Character
Byr
Dialogue
And you wish us to go there?
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Look, I get it. There’s no treasure to find or fat-cats to slim down. Nothing in it for the crew…
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Toli
Dialogue
Masriad, you were there for us, for all of us. You gave us a home, and a purpose, when no one else would.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Fortune help me, but I agree with Toli. We go where you go. Always.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Thank you, everyone.
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
How is it possible you even have such a sensibility? Why can nobody else feel it?
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Ah. We can discuss it properly later, but for now, the short answer is… my Symbiont. My Symbiont is from another universe. The one the Federation informally calls the Mirror Universe.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
What? How?
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Look, like I said, I haven’t got time to go into the whole thing now, but I will. I promise. None of it changes who I am or what we mean to each other. Is that understood?
Objective ID
478,575,269
Phase

Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
It is. We’re still good. It’s just…

Toli
Dialogue
“Wow” is the word you’re looking for.
Objective ID

Phase

Masriad
Dialogue
I get it, I do, but for now, we’ve got some searching to do. Alright, computer, take us to the Azati system!

We cannot move.

What? Why? Are the engines damaged?
Objective ID
748,757,696
Phase

Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
No, it is not that. Nothing in this system is moving. Nothing at all. It’s as if everything has frozen.

They’re backing off. Good. What’s the status of our pirate vessel?
Objective ID

Still disabled. Shields down.

Perfect, then take us alongside, and let’s beam Joth aboard while we still can.
