You won’t fool me, Orion! This is just another of your traps – but it has no chance against me. Prepare to die, Independent. The Dilithium mines will be ours!

It is worth consulting Protocol Origin once more to ensure that the direction we have picked is correct.

…So? Are we doing well, Commander?

Yes. This timeline is almost fixed. The only remaining discrepancy lies in the year 2363 – while it is impossible to know the reason for it, I have managed to triangulate the coordinates of the key event.

Let’s see what we’re to fix now. Full speed to our destiny!

My assumption was correct – although Altair III has militarized units deployed throughout its major settlements, they are not active.

That’s not all. See those vessels in the orbit? Their weapons are charged and shields raised, but no shots have been fired. Yet. Maybe they can tell us more?

–we will stand down, but only if you revoke your embargo on Dilithium trade and let my troops oversee the mining operations! You’re in no position to bargain here.

Dialogue
Ha! I’ll bargain as much as I want! You can have your Dilithium, but you’ll be sharing 30% of the income with me, and if I see any of you sneaking away my crystals, the deal is off!

An Independent? You Nausicaan snake, you wanted to ambush us?! I will not tolerate this. Fire at will!

I believe we found our vessel of interest. This is the U.S.S. Hood, and it is heading to Altair III.

And why is that important?

William Riker will oppose his captain from descending to Altair III due to hostilities there.

This incident will be the deciding factor in prompting Captain Picard to choose him for the first officer position.

Then what is wrong? This William Riker seems to be all ready for the upcoming promotion.

Perhaps the situation on Altair III has changed. There is only one way to find out.

Well, that was awfully rude. We just wanted to ask a few questions!

Dialogue
Our presence alone has triggered the Altair III conflict – hostilities have erupted in multiple areas, presumably over the Dilithium mines.

I trust your judgment, Commander – it seems a bit risky to go down and check it ourselves.

Let us hope that Lieutenant Commander Riker is of the same opinion.

Protocol Origin has been updated. We can track the progress back at our Station. Plotting course.

Oh, oh, I can see the Enterprise-D! And there’s the Hood! Truly spectacular, seeing these two actually meet after all the hard work we’ve done.

Indeed. With timeline integrity restored, Captain Picard will survive the Borg invasion, prevent the Klingon Civil War, and embark on many more adventures with Mr. Riker by his side.

All thanks to you, Commander. Oh, I’m feeling quite parched – you think we can get a nice long drink in Ten Forward? That is, of course, unless Protocol Origin requires our urgent attention.

Funny that Picard’s timeline went awry, all because he missed his first officer. On the other hand, the whole universe would go awry without you, my first officer.

While your understanding of the chain of command is… dubious, your words are kind. Thank you.

Can we check on William Riker as he joins Captain Picard? These two seem very important to each other, and I would hate to miss their first meeting. That’s what we’ve been working for, after all.

Of course. Deneb IV is not far.

My deepest gratitude, Commander. I have a temporal rift ready for you. Lead the way.
