Well, with seven Starfleet vessels – Pegasus included – on an intercept course, I can say with confidence that you got what you wanted, Commander!

They must have already raised a red alert. We can’t bypass the shields unless you know their unique frequency!

We will borrow a solution from the Collective. Mr. Riker, when you are on the Pegasus, you need to make your way to main engineering and invert the settings on the plasma relay intercooler systems.

–you meet Pressman again, but with Captain Picard’s support, you manage to hold him accountable for the Pegasus, and you maintain peace with the Romulans, unlike the divergent timeline suggests.

That makes sense. If that’s what it takes to save billions of lives, then I will help you, Commander. And in return, I would like to learn more about Nervala IV when we’re done.

Fine, fine, but that’s going slightly beyond what my parents would allow me to do…

Dialogue
We should focus on the Pegasus mission for now. Transporting Mr. Riker as it is will be too risky. The security personnel will not let a mere ensign close to the interphasic cloaking device.

However, with everyone distracted by a red alert, Mr. Riker will have a much better chance of getting to engineering without raising suspicions.

You are an Independent operator – attacking a Federation patrol will guarantee the attention of any Starfleet vessel in the vicinity.

Then that is what we will do. Weapon systems online, targeting the patrol ship nacelles. Engage!

Commander, we have obtained visual confirmation of the Pegasus. It is continuing on its patrol route through the sector, with no sign of mutiny or internal damage preceding it.

The technology aboard the Pegasus is scrambling our scanners, but 350 Σ-Dilithium will supercharge them enough to penetrate the interference.

The correct timeline suggests that the Pegasus fell victim to illegal cloaking device experiments. Ensign Riker defended his Captain from the mutineers and was one of the few to escape alive.

Let’s see what we can tweak, twist, and turn to make this right! The temporal rift is open – Protocol Origin leads us to Solas Astra!

So? What do the scanners say? Turn your head off, Maia, I can’t see!

Ensign Riker is aboard the ship, as expected. However, it is of interest to us that the experimental cloaking device that doomed the Pegasus is working as expected. Plasma relay systems are intact.

Dialogue
If we are to kick off the chain of events leading Riker to become Picard’s first officer, the cloaking device should malfunction. Perhaps we could achieve this with sabotage.

Surely we can’t just waltz into their engineering and pull some wires. That would ruin the timeline’s integrity!

With only minor damage sustained and with the Pegasus’s fate sealed, it is safe to label this operation a success.

Right in the midst of the chaos? It should come off as a random temporal catastrophe. The Nervala distortion field also helps. Commander, please, meet your new passenger – Thomas Riker!

Allow me, Commander. Tom, or Will, you were left on Nervala as a result of an unfortunate transporter incident. Fascinating in most situations, but for you, just unfortunate.

Yes. An explosion in main engineering set off the mutiny, and… the Pegasus was no more.

It sounds weird, but you will need to cause this explosion. That will change your own future, and the fate of the Universe itself depends on it. That’s a lot to explain, I know.
