The Vulcan ship has been defeated, and the relay is offline. Take some scans, Maia, for proof of what’s been going on here.

I have been capturing data points since we began tailing the spy from Babel.

Ever so thorough, aren’t you? If the Q Continuum cannot get the better of you, a group of Vulcan extremists hardly stands a chance. Shall we return to the conference, then?

I daresay they will be interested to learn what we have been getting up to.

We must put things right. We do not have much time.

Seems like we have all the time in the world. If we mess it up, we can always come back and try again.

You would think so, but no. Not unless you want a timeline with the structural integrity of fresh Swiss cheese… What is it, Maia? Have you found something?

Scans are picking up strange readings from one of the nearby ships. Evidence of technologies that should not exist yet.

Our Vulcan friends?

Looks like they’re on the move. Tail them from a distance, Commander. Let’s see what they’re up to.

This is it. This is how we help Captain Archer. Without a reliable intel network, the Vulcan operation will crumble.

There is a ship guarding a station in this system. Nondescript, unaffiliated.

Ostensibly. Look at the subspace traffic across frequencies. This is mission control, alright. Remember when the Vulcans blocked our comms back at the Forge, Maia?

Maia
Dialogue
Of course. They overloaded our electromagnetic sensors.

Phase

Character
Trelane
Dialogue
Wouldn’t it be so fun to beat them at their own game? We’d do it with style, of course. Bring their comms down in a spectacular fashion, so it takes some time to fix.

A high-yield EMP could do the job.

I will require 400 Σ-Dilithium to create the EMP.

We have lost them. They must have picked up our tail. I did, however, intercept a transmission they sent out.

The encryption is thorough and secure, but no match for my advanced algorithms. Working…

The most recent notification in the central comms channel is a travel safety advisory outlining which systems to avoid due to the ongoing conflict between Sol and Andoria.

Not well, then. How many times are we going to have to do this? It’s starting to get boring.

We assumed that the greatest fractures in the timeline were the target. But what if something happened long before Vulcan’s Forge or Babel One?

Something small enough in the grand scheme of things to be overlooked by Protocol Origin.

We’ve been going in circles chasing effects when we should have been looking for the cause.

Precisely. If we can find that missing piece, then we need only make one more trip back to put things right once and for all.

Something about this just isn’t sitting right with me. It’s all too convenient.

We have different definitions of convenient, human.

Why would Tellar choose now to reopen hostilities with Andoria? Why break a peace that has been beneficial to both sides? What do they stand to gain?
Objective ID

Nothing. But setting Andoria and Tellar against each other… Well, that’s a different story. Isn’t it, Ambassador?

You speak in riddles, Captain. I can hardly keep up.

…What is the meaning of this? A Vulcan extremist cell working with the Tal Shiar? Ambassador, do you know anything about this?
Objective ID

Character
Romulan Ambassador
Dialogue
This is preposterous. We find evidence of Vulcan agitators, and your first thought is to pin it on me? I will not stand for this!

Good riddance… Archer to Enterprise. Keep an eye on our Romulan friend. She’s not going to get out of this one so easily.

You might have chosen a less dramatic reveal, Captain.

Character
Archer
Dialogue
Erm… Best to have things out in the open, I always say. But this at least proves that the conflict between Andoria and Tellar was fabricated. So why don’t we give this another try?

I suppose there is no harm in hearing you out, at least. Speak, Captain. Convince us that this coalition of yours is the best path forward.

Better if I did not have any distractions.

I only ask because it looks like the guard ship has noticed us. They’re trying to open a line of communication.

You… You are the ones who took out the Vulcan’s Forge cell. How did you come here?

Ah. I see our reputation precedes us. Same as yourselves, I imagine – as a result of that completely accidental and entirely unavoidable little incident that made time a little… weird.

We have planned this for generations. We were not expecting to succeed when we did, but it was anything but accidental.

It was a result of our inherent superiority and our unwavering loyalty to the legacy and ideals of V’Las. Which is also the reason you are wasting your time here.

The EMP has been detonated. The guard ship and relay station’s communication systems are down for the foreseeable future.

Oh, she didn’t like that. The Vulcan guard ship is charging weapons. Red alert!

Decryption successful. The message was routed through a number of proxies. I was able to track it as far as the Sirius system, but no further. Commencing playback.

Change of plan. We have company. I believe I have managed to shake them for now, but we would be wise to act before they interfere once more.

Notice to all agents to withdraw. The red herrings are doing what we need them to. Tellar and Andoria are at each other’s throats.

Sirius, you say… I bet their primary intelligence relay is there. It’s where I’d have it. Near enough to keep an eye on Andoria and Sol. Not too far from Tellar or Babel. It’s perfect. Set a course, Maia.

Gah! Turn it down! I’m going to have an antennae-ache later…

Who was that?

Tracing the signal… It originated from an Imperial Guard communicator. Locating… Operation failed. The transmission has disappeared. Another glitch, perhaps?

I don’t think these are glitches, Maia. I think they’re echoes from a divergent timeline.

As if things weren’t complicated enough. Come on, let’s focus on our own timeline. We have a conference to get back on course, and a future to save.
