We have a match, Commander. I have isolated the signal’s energy pattern and converted it into a traceable format.

I am beginning to track its origin point. Please, follow these directions…

Dialogue
I have been analyzing every battle we have encountered since we arrived here. I was attempting to find a common link, a motivation for the conflict.

That is how I discovered this.

This is the signal we uncovered.

The very same signal was intercepted when we were forced into a fight or flight response.

In fact, our logs confirm that this signal was being broadcast during every major Origin Sector conflict over the past several days.

Could it be that this signal is somehow triggering a violent response?

It is possible, though I am unsure on the exact mechanics of such a reaction. I will need more data to form a conclusion.

I recommend that we investigate the site of the first battle we encountered. I may be able to gather more information.

Energy pattern buffers are showing green across the board, Commander. I believe the signal’s source to be… Wait. That cannot be correct.

Dialogue
What… What is that structure?
Objective ID
1,344,035,105

Character

Dialogue
It is a… relic, Velkas. An artifact from an ancient race, known as the Progenitors.
Objective ID

Dialogue
Could this… relic be responsible for the violence?

Dialogue
I do not know. This does not seem like the kind of technology the Progenitors would have created, but we cannot say for sure. Commander, I would like to examine the artifact closer.

Dialogue
The remnants of a battle have always been difficult for me. The shells of vessels, once filled with vibrant life, now reduced to mere… husks.

Velkas
Dialogue
How many lives ended here? How many potential futures snuffed out by needless conflict?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Focus, Velkas. We can prevent further death if we can discover the origins of this signal. Commander, we know that it is broadcast over a 3.2khz signal.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I will tune our communications to that frequency and patch them through to our short range sensors. We may be able to isolate the energy pattern.

We may begin patrolling the system. If we get a match, I will begin triangulation protocols.

What, exactly, happened?
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I… am not sure. My codebase was attacked, my personality matrix hijacked. There must have been an intrusive program hidden within the signal’s protocols.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
However, there is good news. I was able to destroy the broadcasting subroutine while I was inside the artifact’s systems.

Character
Velkas
Dialogue
I am afraid that that may not be enough. The one responsible for this, whoever they are, was correct. Their work is already done. The Origin Sector is in chaos.

There is something here. A manually operated subroutine, buried within the artifacts automated systems. I am attempting to…

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to find me.

I’m afraid that your mission ends here, Commander. The Breen and the Tholians have a lot of unchecked aggression to work out, and I can’t have you getting in the way of that.

You’re too late for that. We have already isolated your signal. Once we shut down the broadcast, your plan will be foiled.

You think those brutes are slaughtering each other because of my broadcast? Oh, my poor naive boy.

Their brutality? Their… bloodlust? That was always within them. My signal just gave them a little… push.

And now that the genie is out of the bottle…

It won’t go back in… Why? Why do this!?

Oh, no, no. There’s a pattern to these things, my friend. A… program.
