And not a shred of ingenuity or imagination! You might have found me, Commander, but there’s no way you can stand up to me when I’m controlling my ship directly.

The research data will be safe here, Commander. Balor’s adjustments are dangerous and fall well outside Starfleet regulations. It is quite likely that the project will be abandoned.

Thank you, Maia. Now that we have the data, we can return to Starbase 82, Commander.

Commander, this revelation is… concerning. We must recover Balor’s data before it finds its way to the Romulans or Klingons.

Unfortunately, that may be difficult. Balor could be anywhere. There is no guarantee that any ship of his we find is not just another decoy.

Dialogue
To control the ships remotely, he must be sending a signal of some kind. Given the lag time in the battleship’s movements, I would estimate that Balor must be a considerable distance away.

Over such a distance, he would have to boost the signal to maintain such fine control over a ship. It would be very difficult to hide such a signal.

Yes, I suppose it is possible. Running a scan on the remains of the battleship…

This could be it, Commander. This signal appears to originate in Astrida. We should set a course for there immediately. If Balor moves again, we will have no more leads to follow.

Exactly four days, seventeen hours and twenty three minutes ago, a scientist named Balor stole confidential research data from a Federation outpost.

This data details several experiments conducted by the Federation in the area of neural interfaced drone technology.

In theory, this technology would allow a captain to interface directly with their ship, eliminating the need for physical control and bypassing human reaction limitations.

Similar to the Romulan Drone Ships, this would allow for a potentially endless amount of expendable warships.

If this data were to fall into the wrong hands, its effect on the current hostilities would be… Dangerous, to say the least.

I have been tracking Balor, but this far from the Enterprise my abilities are… limited. It is likely that, without help, I would be unable to apprehend him.

It is possible that Balor is unprepared, Commander. I recommend that we strike now, while we maintain the element of surprise.
