Three labs. Three factions. This can’t possibly be a coincidence.

Indeed. It is quite likely that the Progenitors wished to observe the factions closely. They are, after all, the dominant forces in the galaxy.

Look at that! Maia made a joke. The Romulans, the Klingons, the Federation… They’re children playing with a phaser. One of these days, they’re going to get themselves hurt.

Regardless, their space holds the information we seek. We must be subtle. Please, allow us to investigate alone.

Fine, but we’d better be clear on one thing. If I so much as think that you are backing out on our deal, my Borg and I will take the labs by force…

Excellent. Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go take what we need from them.

It is not so simple. The laboratories are each located deep in faction space. We should proceed with caution.

Why? My Borg could tear through any one of these pathetic factions like a sharp blade.

You asked for our help. We only accepted on the condition that your Borg do not cause further damage to the galaxy.

Insolence. Traitor. Fine. We will do things your way. For now.

Not only did your tachyonic pulse fail to collapse the vacuum, it has somehow accelerated its rate of expansion. The fact that someone so incompetant could outsmart me is embarrassing.

Perhaps we would have made this finding beforehand, had we performed field tests.

Your plan wouldn’t have worked regardless! We need to figure something else out. Meet me at your Station.

I hate these things. Mudd was obsessed with them. He talked endlessly about turning me into the ultimate weapon, using the Progenitor’s technology against them.

There are records of laboratories being constructed for the purpose of experimentation on local lifeforms. However, their locations have been lost.

There is another option. A Progenitor escape pod in the Beta Assembly system. These pods contain highly detailed star maps. They would be likely to hold the coordinates of the labs.

Well, sister? Any other genius ideas? Should we, perhaps, attempt to close the vacuum by clogging it with wreckage?

I do not see how that would solve the problem.

So much time spent among organics and yet you still do not understand the concept of a joke. At least Mudd taught me the important things…

It is clear that there are many things about the vacuum that we do not understand. I am a repository of knowledge and calculations, but quantum mechanics is an unsolved science.

It is possible that my Progenitor codebase contains some information on quantum anomalies, but I have yet to access those restricted areas.

Progenitors. That’s it. No race in history has understood quantum mechanics to the extent of the Progenitors. If anyone was to have answers to our questions, it would have been them.

The Progenitors have not been heard from since the Alpha invasion.

No, but they left remnants behind. Alpha laboratories, built during the invasion. We find one of those, we get our answers.

If these laboratories exist, they would likely be connected to a central mainframe. Commander, we should return to the Dhi’ban system and connect with the Progenitor artifact there.
