Navi, I’ve been looking for a way to heal our injured brothers and sisters, and free those that are held by Starfleet. And I think I’ve found it.

And, most importantly, you are never allowed to step foot on my ship again, after what happened last time. I don’t care if you’re in danger, or I’m in danger, or if we‘re both about to die.

What exactly is the Exchange?

It’s an area of space that acts as a playground for the wealthy and powerful. There’s entertainment, shopping, financial services…

Of course not. The businesses put a lot of time and effort into keeping people like us away from the Exchange.

I say we scout out one of the companies there for one of our heists. And luckily, I’ve got the perfect target in mind.

So, what do you think?

Character

Dialogue
I think I wouldn’t normally do something like this. But many of my family members are hurt or incarcerated. I need to come through for them. So I’ll do it.

Yes! Y’know, deep down, I knew we’d team up again.
Objective ID
547,529,887
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Mission Computer
Dialogue
Hmph. The approach should be simple enough. We instill fear in the CEO of the company by attacking his colleagues, and framing his competitors for it.
Objective ID

Phase

Character

We offer to provide them with protection, and that opens the door for us.

Well, that’s one idea. But I was hoping for something a little less… aggressive.

I’ve heard that the CEO takes part in an underground poker game every month with all his rich lowlife CEO friends. He’s willing to put anything on the line for a good hand.

Phase

Character

Dialogue
If I can get him to gamble away his ship… or his home… or something similar, that will give us all the information we need to perform the heist.

You’re willing to put our entire plan into a game of luck? Do you even know how to play poker?
Objective ID
547,529,887
Phase

Character
Mission Computer
Dialogue
I do. And poker is about playing your opponents, not your cards. Luck has little to do with it.

Dialogue
To say I have no confidence in your approach would be an understatement.
Objective ID

It would keep us under the radar, unlike your plan. What do you think, Independent? Whose approach should we take?

This place is… bizarre. It doesn’t even try to hide how superficial and uncouth it is, and yet it is targeted at the most wealthy?

Well, that’s exactly how the rich folks like it. And speaking of targeting… See that building?
Objective ID

Dialogue
The HQ of Trium Finance. They’re glorified loan sharks. And this particular institution happens to be brand new, trying to make a name for themselves.

Character

Dialogue
Won’t a more established company have more in reserves?
Objective ID
547,529,887
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mission Computer
Dialogue
Yes, but it’ll also be far more risky. If we target a newer, smaller company, they won’t be prepared for a heist.
Objective ID
547,529,887
Phase

Character

Targeting a company that’s trying to find its feet. Low-hanging fruit, even by your unfortunate standards.

Dialogue
Look around, Khan. Do you think there’s a shred of morality here? Even the smallest financial institution is run by people with wealth beyond our imagination.
