Vash? What are you doing here?

Looking for your help, Captain. Maybe you could ask me if I’m hurt?

Yes, pardon me. Are you hurt?

No, but thanks for the attention. My ship, however… She might need some patching up.

Despite the damage done to your vessel, there should be no trouble getting it back online. Plating and critical systems can be restored with 10M Tritanium.

Thank you, Commander. My friends are right – you never disappoint.

I believe the Commander is owed some explanation, and so am I. What are you doing here, and why did you send such a cryptic message?

Vash
Dialogue
It’s all quite simple, really. After I renewed my partnership with the Federation Archaeology Council, I became quite a prominent figure in Q Continuum studies.

One of the better things about my relationship with Q.

Vash
Dialogue
In any case, I’m on an expedition to find remnants from the Q Civil War. It’s a shame the Continuum preferred Janeway over you to solve their conflict – I think you’d be a better third party.

Vash
Dialogue
An informant of mine said there’s a Q Continuum weapon left by the Freedom Faction here, but I wasn’t the first one to go looking for it. The Arkonians had their own plans, and… that’s how I ended up here.

You do understand that it’s hard to trust your words, right?

Dialogue
You break my heart, Jean-Luc. Here, I have an official request from the Council.

The document is authentic and proves Vash’s words, Captain. It also has a note that confirms the artifact's presence in this area of the Quadrant.

Dialogue
So why don’t we head out? I wouldn’t want a weapon capable of destroying Q to get into the wrong hands.

Picard
Dialogue
That’s something I can believe, at least. Let’s sweep through this system cluster and list the possible locations of the artifact.

Dialogue
We should distance ourselves from this planet, then. Local ores are interfering with our scanning systems. Setting course for the optimal location.

Dialogue
Vash, do you have information on what the weapon looks like? Is there a way to identify it among other objects?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Vash
Dialogue
To human eyes, it wouldn’t be indistinguishable from a 19th-century cannon, but, of course, it is a Continuum creation. Anything originating from other dimensions will be marked by space-time fractures.

Dialogue
If I were you, I would scan all the major stellar objects and look for spatial disturbances. Too bad my ship’s sensors are wrecked.

Data, do you have a list of the planets in the vicinity?

Dialogue
Yes, Captain. There are five locations worth investigating. I suggest heading to them one by one, starting with the least inhabited. The first one to scan is Dioh in the Elzbar system.

The scans have detected some spatial disturbance on the planet's surface, but its rate is dropping with every second as if the source has disappeared.

Captain, there is a ship orbiting Wuuamax equipped with tachyon dampeners used to contain spatial anomalies. This might be where the artifact is stored.

No space-time fractures here, either.

How did the Q Civil War weapon get discarded in our dimension? The Q don’t usually leave items from their world lying around.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Vash
Dialogue
Their war seeped into our world, and echoes of every shot ripped holes in space and time. At one point, someone would have lost a weapon in such a tattered fabric like our Galaxy.

Character
Vash
Dialogue
I wouldn’t call the Q very responsible when it comes to cleaning up after their mess, so some of us should be there to pick up the toys after their tantrums.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Picard
Dialogue
Toys… Yes, responsibility isn’t Q’s strongest side. That makes our mission more urgent, then. To the next planet – we should pick up our pace.

This planet is of no interest to us. The readings are clear – no spatial anomalies were detected.

Then, moving on! We have other planets to explore.
