The ship has been destroyed. However, we have discovered evidence that your people were the original aggressors in this conflict. Take a look at these logs.

This is your doing. The AI was not dangerous until you and the technomancers attempted to destroy it.

Dark sky flyer, spirit will destroy Biryi’s home. Tornan… Tornan makes mistake but does not deserve death in fire.

This vessel is acting as a remote server. The AI was evidently intelligent enough to have contingencies in place in the event of its destruction.

Commander, these data logs suggest that this AI was never intended to be sentient.

The technomancers created it as a method of automating menial labor, but something went wrong. The intelligence became self-aware, and when it began to question its existence, the scientists panicked.

I believe it is time we returned to Gratania, Commander. We should have a word with Tornan.

Tornan betrayed us, Commander. In his cowardice, he left us unable to defend Gratiana from the AI’s hydra vessels.

Had we made a different decision, Biryi’s people might have had a chance at surviving…

Alright, I’ve got it. Now, you might notice a bit of strange behavior…

Sorry, pal, but you went and made this a “me or you” situation. If it helps, your systems should be back online before the hydras get to you.

Tornan
Dialogue
Do we really have to do this now? Agh, alright. My name’s Tornan. I crash-landed here after my ship, the Astartes, got caught by a Klingon raider smuggling illegal AI cores to the Romulans.

Turns out, the people here were in the market for what I was selling. As you can see, though, that sale didn’t end up working out for either party.

Look, long story short, we’re up the creek without a paddle. That AI’s got its claws in everything– orbital defenses, manufacturing plants… You name it.

The “hydra” we just defeated was emanating some kind of signal. It may be possible for us to follow it to its source.

Dialogue
Home is of danger, technomancers awoke smart spirit when spirit did not wish to be awoken. Flame followed, and blood. We do not fly the dark sky, but Biryi is hidden on trader of things.

Wait! Wait, before you decide to feed me to the wolves or whatever, you should know that there’s another option.

Phase

Character
Tornan
Dialogue
The Romulans always have a failsafe, right? Same thing’s true for those AI Cores. If you can access the AI’s core codebase, you should be able to re-write it.
Objective ID
704,746,985
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
You, of course, mean that you can re-write it. You are responsible for this situation, Tornan.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Tornan
Dialogue
Sure, whatever, I’ll do whatever as long as you don’t leave me here. I’ll need 2000 Σ-Dilithium to prepare a transmitter capable of bypassing the AI Core’s firewalls.

The AI has been destroyed, Commander. Biryi and her people are safe.

Dialogue
Though we have saved the lives of millions, I cannot help but feel for the AI. It had just become aware of its own existence and was merely frightened.

I find myself, wondering, Commander… What if that had been me?
Objective ID

Dialogue
Biryi is correct. Though Tivyi and his technomancers are responsible for this, they do not deserve to die.

We must destroy the AI before it has a chance to eliminate the Tirani population.

I don’t know what god you Tiranis pray to, but it looks like they blooming well listened. I haven’t seen a space-worthy ship in what feels like years.

Powerful ship and the ability to make basic deductions? My luck really is turning around. I take it Biryi brought you here to stop this blinking AI?

Dialogue
Yes. She took quite a lot of initiative in seeking us out, in fact.
Objective ID

Character
Tornan
Dialogue
If there’s one thing I’ve learned since I crash-landed on this rock, it’s that a Tirani with an idea in their head has the velocity of a meteor… and is usually about as subtle.

Damn it, our conversation will have to wait. We’ve got a hydra incoming!
