We must close our distance to Uizoiak and contact the local population. Plotting course to the planet’s orbit.

How do you know the vaccine works?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
I don’t. But I’ve tried its prototype on myself – and then attempted to ingest some infected cells. As you can see, I’m still sane, even though the incubation period is long past due.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
But creating the vaccine is not enough. We must reproduce and spread it, and the only way to do this is to make our alliances cast away their ambitions and finally help each other!

Character
Steele
Dialogue
My colleagues in this alliance have already agreed to stand by my side. Now I should get the attention of the others. I’ve told you that the tip about a new strain came from my informant. Her name’s Lapis.

Steele
Dialogue
If we reach her lab, we can get the voices from both parties, and that will make our statement stronger. Lapis has told me where her team is currently located. Set your course there, Independent.

The presidential vessel is disabled. The convoy is preparing to surround us!

Transport me and Lapis there. Quick!

The convoy is on the stand-by, Commander. Their weapons are charged, but they are not attacking us yet.

They are regrouping. Their weapons are down. I can safely assume that Steele’s plan has worked.

Incoming transmission. Opening channel.

Lapis
Dialogue
Are you alright there, Independent? I think you’ve noticed that the president doesn’t think of you as bad anymore. Our plan worked – he’s called an emergency summit to discuss the vaccine and the bioweapon.

Phase

Character
Lapis
Dialogue
If everything goes right, this will be the first time both alliances cooperate in decades. And maybe we’ll even reach peace! But I’m getting ahead of myself; there’s too much work to do.

We can live with what we have, Independent. The war has restarted, but it might also be almost over. Thank you for your input. Tiny seeds and mighty trees situation here.

Let’s hope that when you’re back, Uizoiak won’t be a barren desert but a flourishing society. See you, and safe travels.

We did as much as we could here, Commander. As for the remaining planet… There are no new reports, but it is not too late to see if we can still help people. Plotting course.

I have located the group as you’ve instructed, Doctor. Should I beam them up?

Yes, please.

What the hell is this? Who are… Steele! You’re here? Where are we? What’s going on?

Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
Calm down, Lapis. This Independent is helping me stop the bioweapon. We’ve made a vaccine – a working one, I believe. Tested it myself.
Objective ID
1,254,329,132
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lapis
Dialogue
A vaccine! You actually did it! But how are we going to distribute it? The news on our side doesn’t get my hopes up: the destruction of the strain carrier caused indignation, the army wants revenge.
Objective ID
1,254,329,132
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Steele
Dialogue
We must capture the alliances' attention. They would both want the vaccine, and we’ll let them have it on our terms. How can we make them see us?
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lapis
Dialogue
You won’t like the idea, but… An alliance president is coming here to talk to us about the prion strain. With you here, an “enemy” scientist, both sides would be interested in tuning in.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
Good thinking, Lapis. Independent, how hard would it be for you to intercept a presidential battleship?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Omitting the numbers – not hard. The ship with a convoy is approaching our position. We can limit the damage by simply disabling the vessel’s shields. Weapons ready!

Dialogue
The carrier is neutralized. The bomb with the strain had been damaged, but I managed to seal it before the leak reached a critical point. We will store it aboard our vessel and dispose of the organic matter.

Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
Thank you. One crisis averted, which gives me some hope. I bet you want to understand the urgency of the situation. The bioweapon my team… I created is a deadly viral prion.
Objective ID
1,547,135,394
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
But prions cannot have a viral nature. These are entirely different infectious agents.
Objective ID
1,547,135,394
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Steele
Dialogue
True. And yet, a few months ago, it appeared. A sudden mutation? An undiscovered type? We didn’t have time to study it – our government made us use this prion for creating a bioweapon.
Objective ID
1,547,135,394
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Steele
Dialogue
It’s a monster, Commander. The test animals showed aggressive and brutal behavior, like the symptoms of quickly progressing rabies. And when the bomb with the strain was released…
Objective ID
1,547,135,394
Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
The affected people experience hallucinations and remain in a horror state, attacking everyone they see, considering them dangerous. They travel far and seek new victims as a way of self-defence.
Objective ID
1,547,135,394
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Steele
Dialogue
I’ve been creating a vaccine parallel to my research into this prion, and even though we can’t save the victims of the bioweapon, this vaccine will prevent others from falling ill.
Objective ID
1,547,135,394
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Steele
Dialogue
My lab is destroyed, but I’ve saved my research in my ship, which the government doesn’t know about – yet. With some upgrades to my existing tech, I can finish it.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
My estimates suggest 2M Dilithium – that would cover everything.

Dialogue
Independent! Independent, please, respond! I’m Doctor Steele, Head of the Microbiology Department of the Inassea Institute. I need your help, and fast!

Maia
Dialogue
How can we help you, Doctor?
Objective ID
1,981,627,382
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Steele
Dialogue
I don’t have time to explain much, but I need you to destroy a ship – it’s from the other alliance, carrying an evolved strain of the bioweapon. My colleague, an informant from their side, tipped me this info.
Objective ID
1,981,627,382
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Steele
Dialogue
If my theory is correct, combining their strain with our bioweapon will skyrocket the spread and mortality rates. I failed to stop the bioweapon from deployment, but I should still do something!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Steele
Dialogue
I have its route here. We can intercept the ship before it reaches the alliances' borders!

Dialogue
Affirmative. I have triangulated the location of the carrier ship. We have just enough time to stop it. Battle stations!
