- Yeah, yeah, I know, but that guy was the worst. Screw him. Commander, we’ve got to help the people here. We can’t leave them suffering under that arrogant piece of work.

- One of the Archite’s security vessels is heading for the ship on an attack vector. We need to deal with that problem first.

- Dialogue
- The security vessel has been defeated but the Archite’s people are now out in force and on high alert. There is no way we can leave this system without being detected first.

- My scans have suggested a likely spot. A forest moon called Fernan, orbiting the planet Dez seems like the perfect hiding place.

- We’re not spies! Look, are you the leader of the rebels? We could be of help. Our ship is capable of some amazing things.

- Dialogue
- Commander, we have a package pending to collect from the planet Nonato in the Stellastica system.
- Objective ID
- 295,682,527
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- The system is unusual in that it is governed by what its ruler, the Archite, terms dictatorship by consensus, boasting of an entirely harmonic hegemonic culture, structured and guided by the Archite.
- Objective ID
- 295,682,527
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Passage through Stellastica is monitored but rarely hindered, especially as interstellar commerce is one of the key tenets of the Archite’s demonstration of galactic soft power.
- Objective ID
- 295,682,527
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Even so, regardless of the image the Archite likes to project, I would advise caution when we approach Nonato.

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Very good, Commander. Setting a course for Nonato.

- Character
- Archite
- Dialogue
- Well, well, the famous Commander. You have quite the reputation, even this far out. When I heard you had graced our system with your presence, I knew I simply had to see you.
- Objective ID
- 436,310,838
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Archite
- Dialogue
- I must say, I am not disappointed. And such a fine-looking crew too. No wonder your services are held in such high regard.
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- Narian, your Highness.

- Archite
- Dialogue
- And what is your role in this operation?
- Objective ID
- 436,310,838
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- I guess you could call me a sort of trouble-shooting diplomat. From time to time anyway.
- Objective ID
- 436,310,838
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Archite
- Dialogue
- Really? I would be intrigued to see just how diplomatic you can be.
- Objective ID

- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- Well, I haven’t said anything about the bedraggled masses down there. How’s that for diplomacy?
- Objective ID

- Character
- Archite
- Dialogue
- I beg your pardon?
- Objective ID
- 436,310,838
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- Well, you know, I’m not exactly certain what I witnessed in this system could be described as harmonious. Unless you mean everybody weeping and starving in unison.
- Objective ID
- 436,310,838
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Archite
- Dialogue
- HOW DARE YOU! What kind of leader are you that would let your people speak to their betters thus?
- Objective ID
- 436,310,838
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- The kind that trusts in their people instead of threatening them. That lets us answer for ourselves.

- Objective ID

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Commander, we have the package aboard. However, before we can leave the system, we have been asked to stand before the Archite, who has heard of exploits and wishes to meet the crew.
- Objective ID
- 718,189,418
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- Asked?
- Objective ID
- 718,189,418
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Your suspicions are correct, crewmember Narian. While seemingly presented as a request, there is a strong sense that a refusal to attend would imply some unpleasant repercussions for our ship.
- Objective ID
- 718,189,418
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- I don’t doubt it. Did you see the people down on Nonato?
- Objective ID
- 718,189,418
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Yes, their conditions were noted.
- Objective ID
- 718,189,418
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- I mean, for a so-called harmonic, consensual dictatorship, there sure were a lot of miserable, hungry-looking people milling about and studiously avoiding eye contact.
- Objective ID
- 718,189,418
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Be careful about voicing such observations in the presence of the Archite. It may result in rather more than a sharp rebuke.
- Objective ID
- 718,189,418
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Narian
- Dialogue
- Understood. Don’t hurt the tyrant’s feelings! Got it.
- Objective ID

- Maia
- Dialogue
- Make sure that you do. We are about to arrive.

- Best behavior hats on, everybody!
