Further readings from the surface of Calus indicate several thousand dormant lifesigns. Agent Holoway, what is down there? Why are we here?

Beautiful, aren’t they? The cream of the Baelosian crop. The fruits of all our hard labor – the Ascendant Project.

What you see here before you will become a military power the likes of which the Federation has never seen. A militia of unstoppable super-soldiers at the beck and call of Section 31.

Agent Holloway, we must protest. This project is an abhorrent crime against the Baelosians and the Federation as a whole. What made you do such a thing?

You’re so short-sighted, Commander. You’re just like those calling the shots in the Federation now. I will not sit idly by and allow our station in the galaxy to be undermined by incompetent leadership.

Section 31 was founded in the interests of upholding Federation security. However, since the John Harrison incident, the Federation continues to renounce our existence, to deny all knowledge of us.

How can we protect those who do not wish for us to protect them? From the shadows, Commander. That’s how.

The Baelosians have been the ace up our sleeve for decades. Without us, they would be nothing. Insignificant parasites on a speck of dirt, lost in the void. We gave them purpose.

With the Baelosians serving our interests in Federation matters, and the Ascendant Project bolstering the might of Starfleet, Section 31 will continue to serve their purpose.

Speaking of a served purpose, I believe we’ve come to the end of our arrangement. With the Baelosians on the cusp of Federation admittance, I see no further use for you.

Commander, if we are to put a stop to Agent Holloway and Section 31’s plot, we must first deal with the Ascendant that is pursuing us.

We should keep exploring Baelos and other adjacent systems. It is our only hope in finding a way to stop the Ascendant.

The Ascendant’s impulse engines have been disabled, Commander. However, the hulls of the ship seem to be actively repairing themselves. I am unsure how this is possible.

I get it now. You’re not willing to let go until you see it too. Until you see the Ascendant Project in its full waking glory. I can’t say I blame you – I wouldn’t want to give up that opportunity either.

And one more thing – I wouldn’t bother trying to run if I were you. My Ascendant here is loyal to the utmost degree. He will follow you to the fringes of the galaxy if I tell him to.

Our sensors detected that one of your agents locked targets on our ship. We were merely taking the initiative to defend ourselves.

Your artificial intelligence may be malfunctioning. I would deem it most unwise of you to allow this construct to continue calling the shots on board your own ship.

I would say that our time together is drawing to an end, Commander. This incident only proves that you’ve served your purpose in furthering our cause.

However, I’m not entirely heartless. I don’t believe in improper goodbyes. Allow my fleet to escort you to the Bilge system. There’s something I want you to see – the culmination of all your good work here.

Commander, my scans of the vicinity are detecting a significant number of lifesigns on the surface of Calus. All known star-charts report that Calus is uninhabited with an inhospitable atmosphere.

So, I see that the construct still has some semblance of intelligence left within it. That assessment is correct – there is something on the surface of Calus that I want you to see. Join me.
