The fires of war are rising all around us, Independent. Alliance and Empire forces stand poised, ready to strike out at one another. You played your part beautifully.

Captain, are you sure that this was the correct course of action? The Alliance forces may have dwindled over the last few years, but the Empire will still suffer heavy casualties should a conflict occur.

Of course I’m sure! Don’t you see how this benefits us? With the Alliance hordes converging at the gates of the Empire, the Empress will be forced to respond.

With this conflict seemingly arising as a direct result of the Empress’ orders, the adoration of her subjects will wane. That is when we stand our ground and remove her from the throne.

Captain, there is a matter of uncertainty that requires clarification. A member of the Empress’ inner circle by the name of Inquisitor Troi has been accused of abandoning her position among your crew.

Is this true? Are you familiar with the Inquisitor?

Dialogue
I figured this might come up… Yes, Inquisitor Troi was once a most esteemed member of my crew. However, when the time came, she chose to stand at the side of the Empress.

Picard
Dialogue
The Empress granted the Inquisitor clemency and a place by her side, while my ship and my crew were forced into the Interphasic Rift as punishment for our perceived insolence.

Perhaps Inquisitor Troi thought that she would be capable of influencing the Empress into sparing you and your crew?

Picard
Dialogue
Perhaps… and perhaps not. Only time will tell. Once the Empress is dethroned, the Inquisitor will have much to answer for. But until that time comes, there is much more to be done.

Alliance command has formally accused the Terran Empire of engaging in open warfare within Alliance territory. The conflict between both factions is certain to escalate.

We should return to Sirius at once before we are overcome by Alliance forces. Plotting a course for Resistance HQ.

So… what are we waiting for then? We have everything and everyone we need. I say we march up to that throne room and give that Bajoran wench her marching orders.

Patience, Mr. O’Brien. All in good time. Only when the enemy has been completely distracted from our efforts should we strike. Until then, we must bide our time and play our parts. All of us.

I’m assuming that includes our Independent friend here?

Dialogue
Indeed. Independent, you are the Terran Champion and personal security detail to the Empress herself. Your absence from the throne room is bound to have caused suspicion which must be dealt with at once.

The Resistance has fabricated security footage from the outpost that should implicate the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in these attacks.
Objective ID

Picard
Dialogue
In order to alleviate any potential doubts, you must return to the throne room and inform the Empress that you were able to secure this footage directly from the outpost’s surveillance systems.

Picard
Dialogue
Original records from the outpost have been wiped in order to support these claims. If you are questioned, you will deny all involvement or knowledge of the Resistance Forces. Is that clear?

Affirmative. We shall show loyalty to the Empress and deny all knowledge of the Resistance, should the topic arise.

Excellent. Now, return to the throne room. Play your part and soon, the time to strike will be upon us.

Striking out at the Alliance in the name of the Empire is sure to lead to dire consequences and potential war at the Empire’s doorstep. All we can do is trust that the Resistance’s plans come to fruition.

There will be no going back after this operation. We must be prepared to face any potential consequences. If you believe this to be the right course of action, then prepare to engage.

Dialogue
While one of our outposts was being reduced to atoms, my champion was nowhere to be found. Tell me, dearest Indie, what is the point of keeping you around if you just go missing when danger shows its face?

You misunderstand our motives. We were not missing in action, Your Excellency. We were busy investigating and attempting to ascertain the identities of the attackers.

We believe that the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance was responsible for these attacks.

And what makes you so sure of this?

Surveillance footage obtained from the site of the attacks clearly identifies Alliance cruisers at the scene.

So, this is how they think that they’re going to finally take me down? Cut me off, isolate me and leave me bereft of allies? We’ll see about that…

Dialogue
Indie, I want you to lead a task force directly into Alliance territory. If they think they can just lash out against us and suffer no repercussions, they are sorely mistaken.

Your Excellency, such an attack could be considered a declaration of war. Perhaps it would be best to reconsider our options.

Our options? My dear Inquisitor, while I appreciate that you chose to leave Picard and his rusting bucket of a ship behind so you could stand by my side, this decision is mine and mine alone.

And that decision has already been made. The Alliance will suffer for their transgressions.

Indie, the time has come for retaliation. Lead my forces to Cardassia and lay waste to any Alliance filth that crosses your path.
