The transmission has been terminated. Empress Nerys has never been the patient type. We should heed her warning and avoid any further delays. Laying in a course for Mirror Sol.

I shall be the judge of that. If you cease your endless chatter, I can begin my own search. The Enterprise-D is nearby. I know it is. I just have to feel Captain Picard, out there in the ether…

Don’t bother finishing off that ship. Their impulse and warp engines have been disabled. Death is inevitable. This way, they will have time to think about how they failed their Empress.

I’m glad you asked. I’m having trouble sleeping lately, Indie. There’s too much on my mind. I find myself troubled by this “Picard” and that little ship of his, the ISS Enterprise-D.

You know how it is. When the one that got away haunts your thoughts and hinders your rest. It’s maddening. You can think of little else. So, to that end, I refuse to rest until that ship is found.

But if you want to be a tease for now, then that’s on you. The Inquisitor and I are capable of exercising patience. When the time is right, you will reveal yourself to us. We will be waiting.

Then we must leave this place while the option to do so is still available to us. Take us to the Bajor system. We shall resume our search there.
