I’ll not be answering any of your questions, human. We are not friends. We are a single step up from enemies. If we ever cross paths again, you had best think long and hard before you shoot.

What is the meaning of this?!

Cillian
Dialogue
We could ask you the same question! Why did you open fire?
Objective ID
1,795,065,241
Phase

Character
Thalessa
Dialogue
Because you are in league with the s– the other ship!
Objective ID

Character
Cillian
Dialogue
We are not. We were just passing through the system when we saw an altercation about to occur. We kept back and let it play out. We actually made a conscious decision not to get involved.

Dialogue
You expect me to believe you?

Perhaps we can offer you a gesture of goodwill. A contribution to your repairs even though, again, you opened fire on us.

I’m an engineer on a starship. Living the dream, right? So, we’re on our way to make contact with a new tribe, one that’s ready to be brought into the Fold.

Like First Contact?

Ven
Dialogue
Yeah, you could say that. Pretty exciting mission, ‘cause it doesn’t happen that often. Should’ve been an easy journey. Our sensors started going wild, we lost control of the ship.

I was near the shuttle bay, managed to get into an emergency pod. I thought the ship itself was the problem, but I watched it get sucked into this massive, dark vortex.

Could be nothing. I’ve yet to meet a Romulan who isn’t covert and intense. Actually, I’ve yet to meet any Romulans out here in the Margins…
