Dalen seemed upset with us. But he was willing to attack an innocent colony for that Borg tech. That is a path we could not go down.

You’re not going to support me with this!? You know how important my research on Borg tech has become!

Whatever, I don’t need you. You can leave, I’ll get the Borg tech for myself!

Oh, you mean the strange exo-skeleton part we found? Yes, it is true.

Dialogue
I’ve been studying Borg technology for some time now. I am the only one in this entire galaxy who knows anything about them. So it’s of utmost importance that I get the tech you found.

We work with a group, some call them an… organization. They oversee all of our trades, and take a cut in exchange for giving us protection.

Hmm. It sounds like they’re under the thumb of a gang. They’re being exploited.

If we help the colony by stopping this gang, maybe they’ll share the tech with us!

There is a concentration of ships nearby, it appears to be the “organization” that the leader mentioned.

Then let’s pay them a visit, and show we won’t let them push around a colony.

Thank you, Commander. I will search the colony for the Borg tech. You should go back to your station and make any required repairs to your ship.

It’s not the same as having our own drone, but it may provide further answers.

You fool! We did not need help! Like I told you, the gang provides us with protection.

Protection from whom?

From people like you! People who come to our system and think they can do whatever they want!

You were clearly brainwashed by that gang. You’ll be okay soon. But I need you to let me see the Borg technology.

Ha, why am I not surprised. You are far worse than those you were trying to protect us from!

Come on, Commander. They are not willing to give us the tech. So we should take matters into our own hands.

The surviving gang members have fled. We should tell the colony leader.
