We need a way to stop this thing, Phara. Now.

We should never have taken on this project.

Dialogue
It’s too late for that now, Talut. Let’s focus on what we can do. Elijah had an idea, one I think might just work.

Follow me to the lab, Commander. Let’s run it through.

Subcommander, tell me you have the navigational array under control. We cannot keep– Argh! What are you doing here?

You stole this Borg Cube. We are here to retrieve it.

It seems as though you might be glad to be rid of it.

Captain Lehila
Dialogue
You think we can just hand it over? This… thing has a mind of its own. We cannot bring it to heel. It is intent on finding targets to assimilate.

Commander, the Cube is scanning our vessel…

Captain Lehila
Dialogue
You should leave before you become its next victim. There is no chance that you alone can fight this thing.

But–

Captain Lehila
Dialogue
You brought this thing back online. This was inevitable, and it is on your shoulders. I suggest you figure out a way to neutralize the Cube before we have a contagion of Borg on our hands.

It is faint, but there is something… A slightly elevated zone of neutrino emissions and evidence of graviton flux.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Talut
Dialogue
That doesn’t give us directionality. Can you lock onto a transwarp signature?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Attempting to isolate a signal… Signal acquired. They are heading towards the H'Atoria system.

Then let’s follow.

Elijah
Dialogue
No sign of the Borg Cube, but…
Objective ID
1,821,652,054
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Phara
Dialogue
What is it?
Objective ID
1,821,652,054
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Elijah
Dialogue
A distress signal emanating from the Morska system.
Objective ID
1,821,652,054
Phase

Character
Talut
Dialogue
Could be nothing.
Objective ID
1,821,652,054

Rosalyn
Dialogue
Are we willing to take that risk?
Objective ID
1,821,652,054
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Phara
Dialogue
…No. Commander, can you investigate the signal?
Objective ID
1,821,652,054
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Certainly.
Objective ID
1,821,652,054
Phase

Character
Phara
Dialogue
Take Talut and Firlak with you. In the meantime, Elijah, Rosalyn… We need to come up with a contingency plan.

Character
Phara
Dialogue
You’re telling me you have no idea where the Cube is now?
Objective ID
1,832,400,159
Phase

Character
Elijah
Dialogue
They scrambled our sensor data. Our systems are coming back online now, but their warp trail – or transwarp trail, rather – will have already dissipated.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Phara
Dialogue
Do we know who’s behind this?
Objective ID
1,832,400,159
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
A fleet of Romulan ships triggered the alarm to draw us away from the base. Tal Shiar, most likely. A smaller group must have infiltrated the dock and made off with the Cube.
Objective ID
1,832,400,159
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Phara
Dialogue
Dammit! Of all the people to get their hands on the Cube, the Romulans are probably the worst. Er… No offense, Talut.
Objective ID

Character
Talut
Dialogue
…None taken.
Objective ID

Character
Rosalyn
Dialogue
Maybe we can catch up with them before they get to Romulan space.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Phara
Dialogue
What do you mean?
Objective ID
1,832,400,159
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Rosalyn
Dialogue
Even we, as Ex-Borg, struggled to control that monstrosity. It will be even more challenging for the Romulans. Like trying to helm a starship after a single session in a flight simulator.
Objective ID
1,832,400,159
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Phara
Dialogue
So, perhaps they haven’t gone that far. Are the sensors back online, brother?
Objective ID
1,832,400,159
Phase

Character
Elijah
Dialogue
Affirmative.
Objective ID
1,832,400,159

Dialogue
Then let’s see what they can tell us.

There it is!

Dialogue
Hail the Cube, Commander.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Firlak
Dialogue
No sign of the Borg Cube.
Objective ID
536,214,335

Character
Talut
Dialogue
Perhaps it was nothing, after all. But wait– Is that…
Objective ID
536,214,335
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
An assimilated ship. It is engaging an intercept course.
Objective ID

Firlak
Dialogue
Ghay'cha'! Take them out, Commander! I have no desire to rejoin the Collective.
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
The assimilated ship has been destroyed. The nanoprobes onboard are now inactive.
Objective ID
647,073,550
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Talut
Dialogue
Good. I doubt that the Romulans are interested in assimilating their targets… It looks as though the Borg Cube is following its own imperative.
Objective ID
647,073,550
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Firlak
Dialogue
Are you surprised?
Objective ID
647,073,550
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Talut
Dialogue
Not at all. However, it does mean we need to find it and stop it before it can do any more damage.
Objective ID
647,073,550
Phase

Character
Firlak
Dialogue
Commander, can you scan the system? Perhaps there is some trace of the Cube here.
