Preliminary scans of the vicinity of Baelos Prime have yielded several potentially hostile vessels in orbit over the planet, Commander.

The signatures acquired from the vessels appear to be modulating at a rapid rate – I cannot currently identify the assailants.

You must intervene as soon as possible. I will continue to monitor the modulations of the acquired signatures and try to identify the attackers.

More vessels are retreating. A significant number of Baelosian inhabitants have been abducted. If we are to have any hope of retrieving them, we must–

Commander, I have identified a consistent pattern among the obfuscated signatures of the hostile ships. They appear to belong to the Augments, loyalists of Khan Noonien Singh.

The remaining Augment ship is attempting to hail us. Opening a channel.

Oh… It’s you again. Along with death and taxes, your presence seems to be another guarantee in life. You’re not wanted here. Leave while you still can.

Otto, we cannot allow this to happen. What grievance does Khan have with the Baelosians?

For someone who knows so little about what’s happening here, you’re causing a surprising amount of disruption. I suppose it would be foolish to assume that you’d leave things be.

Otto’s vessel has locked targets on our ship, Commander. Raising shields.

Scans show that there are several Baelosian civilians being held in the brig of his ship. We must be careful in our defensive maneuvers.

Commander, the Baelosian colony on Ariadesh will surely fall if we fail to act. We must rush to intervene as soon as possible.

Several hostile vessels have retreated from the system. Scans show increases in lifesigns aboard all retreating vessels. Commander, it would appear that the attackers are abducting Baelosians.

We cannot allow this to continue. I have targeted a stationary ship in close proximity to Baelos Prime. We must eliminate it before it can abduct any more inhabitants from the planet.

Commander, come in. I’m going to need you to help me understand what the hell happened out there. You were supposed to protect the people of Baelos Prime.

Now I’m hearing reports that seventy-two Baelosians have been taken hostage? With more casualties on the ground? I hope you have an explanation for this.

The explanation is simple, Holloway. We were outnumbered. There was only so much we could do to hold off the Augment’s attack.

Augments? Are you saying that Khan Noonien Singh is involved in this? Of course, it’s beginning to make sense. Seventy-two Baelosians… an eye for an eye…

It’s all the fault of that fool, Marcus. If he hadn’t tried to use Khan’s people as a bargaining chip, we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.

This was not just an attack on the Baelosians. This was an attack on Section 31. Khan must know that we are involved in their admittance to the Federation.

Commander, I want you to seek Khan out. Find the captive Baelosians and return them to Baelos Prime. There is far more at stake here than you realise.

Keep searching systems near Baelos for signs of Khan or any of his Augment crew. We will be in touch if we hear anything regarding his current location.

You think that was an accident? You’d be dead right now if I wanted it. But I’m aware of our history together, Commander. Consider this an act of leniency and know your place.

Otto’s ship has jumped to warp. Without any means to defend ourselves, it would be foolish to pursue him.

We should return to the Station and prepare to investigate this incident. We must report this to Agent Holloway and understand what Khan could possibly want with the Baelosians.
