Maia to Enterprise… The Schrak ship’s weapons have been disabled. They are fleeing now, as are all but one of the others. It has been–

Destroyed. So I see. This does not bode well for the diplomatic resolution of this dispute…

But let’s get on with what we came here to do. Time to have a chat with the foreman.

What a blessing you are, Starfleet. Showing up just in the nick of time. Though I wonder that you spared your own ship…

It seems like you had things under control. And besides, the Commander here was able to lend a hand. Now, we’re here to discuss–

Character
Tuvell
Dialogue
The dispute, yes. Well, you see now what we’re dealing with. The Schrak have no respect for due process. They say they want the mining field and expect it to be so.

But the Egoni are a civilized people. There are ways to do things. The proper steps must be taken.

Yet you have it in your power to have a substantial influence on this dispute. What say you close down operations until we can come to an agreement with the Schrak?

Tuvell
Dialogue
Ha ha! You are a humerous man, Captain. But that is not a part of the process, and therefore, I would be remiss to behave thusly. I’m afraid you will have to go through the proper channels.

Perhaps there is a way to… expedite things?

Well, repairing our ships after that vicious attack will take time. But a generous donation from Starfleet would certainly speed things up.

You always seem to have some Parsteel lying around, Commander. Thank you. Now, Tuvell, tell us how we can get this mining operation closed down.

Dialogue
Like I said before, Captain, you will have to go through the proper channels. A formal requisition must be filed. The Ministry of Requisitions is in Januu. I’m sure you will find what you need there.

But you said a donation would speed things along!

And so it will. Our ships will be good as new in no time. Now off you go, Captain. You have some paperwork to attend to.

…These Egoni are a trying people. I can see why the other missions failed. But we are the Enterprise, and we’re not going to be put off by some red tape. Set a course for Januu, Ortegas.

Can you help us fill this out? We’re trying to avoid a conflict between the Egonia and the Schrak here.

Captain, we cannot get embroiled in a combat situation. We are here to solve this issue diplomatically, not take sides.

I am well aware, Number One. Commander, we require your services. You can help the Egoni stave off their attackers while not technically being tied to Starfleet.

We have plausible deniability with the Schrak, and we are providing assistance to the Egoni. It’s the best I can come up with right now.

Perfect. The guardships will hold their own against four of them, and the Commander will fight the fifth. No extreme measures, mind you. Just disable their weapons.
