Before you say anything, Georgiou, I can’t believe you offered them to kill me!

Character
Georgiou
Dialogue
Didn’t you learn anything from Zeph’s situation? It was a calculated risk, and you both got back. I had it under control. What is important, however, is that I learned that the Baraam is infested with rats.

The Whip is not perfect, and they hide skeletons from each other, but their loss is my gain. Now we must find out who stole their clients, our money, and my control from me. I will reclaim it all. No matter what.

Jirru, Kirad, and Lieutenant Rachel Garrett have joined us. I assume they are ready to talk.

Jirru
Dialogue
First, get your puppet back. That was a stupid move, but she doesn’t deserve to die for her cynical misanthrope of a boss. Second, you explain to us why you meddled with the Whip clients.

Dialogue
That’s not how discussions work, but I’ll let it slide. I have no business with the Whip and haven’t meddled with your clients. Mine are coming to enjoy life. Yours come to forget it.

Character
Kirad
Dialogue
We did lose regular clients, but our main concern is our black market dealers. The Whip has been a place for the Orion Syndicate, mercenary operations, weapon trade, and illegal material dealing.

Georgiou
Dialogue
How is that connected to the Baraam? And how does that justify poisoning my whole cargo crew with isolynium?

Character
Kirad
Dialogue
One of our regular customers said that the Baraam offers much lower rates for the deal percentages, and his colleagues followed. But isolynium… We wanted to warn you, not the bystanders.

The shields, troubling clients, and raiders are ours. Whatever else you had is your own mistake, du Franc. You deal with that yourself.

Character
Georgiou
Dialogue
I had no new black market dealers registered. Are you implying someone’s doing business on the Baraam behind my back? That checks out… How could I miss that?

Character
Georgiou
Dialogue
If you’re telling the truth, then someone’s played us to clash with each other, while they gather all the influence and power. We’ve been fooled, darlings. And thus, we must work together.

Character
Jirru
Dialogue
As much as I’d like to trust you, I don’t. But if we must cooperate, I want guarantees to make sure you’re not just dazzling us with pretty words. I want latinum, enough to cover our expenses this month.

1,675,391,576

Georgiou
Dialogue
And I want your cooperation to track down those who scheme behind our backs. Do you trust me with an access to the Whip’s data?

Character
Kirad
Dialogue
Barely. But since we know where you stand and how the Baraam works, we’ll take the risk if that benefits all of us. You may have the codes to our Level 1 and 2 security. Anything above is per request.

And you may have the ship with the latinum bars heading your way. This was rather fruitful, partners – I’m glad I didn’t annihilate you immediately.

Apt observation. A mercenary battleship is charging weapons. Red alert!

The rest of the fleet has fled, leaving Jirru’s ship defenseless. We can strike if needed.

Why the rush, Commander? The dead don’t speak, and I would very much like to talk. Open the channel.

Jirru
Dialogue
So, we’re one-on-one. Your vessel might be superior, but it’s damaged; ours is not. But if you do decide to open fire, you risk burning something important.

You wouldn’t hurt your daughter, would you?

Georgiou
Dialogue
My daughter? Oh, don't be ridiculous, dearie. I could kill my daughter with my bare hands if that’s what was needed. This girl here is just a dummy to fool you. She means nothing to me.

Georgiou
Dialogue
What’s meaningful to me, however, is peace on the Baraam. And since we will probably destroy each other in this fight, how about we act civilized for once and talk?

Jirru
Dialogue
There’s nothing to talk about. You mess with the Whip, and the Whip strikes you back.

Character
Kirad
Dialogue
Or! We could see why Madame du Franc tried to get rid of us. In the end, there were no crossing paths or conflicting interests. Just like we planned, right, Jirru?

Character
Georgiou
Dialogue
While you decide whether to act right or leave like cowards, we will land in Risa. What better place to discuss our disagreements than the best tropical resort in the Quadrant?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I believe your theory is correct, Georgiou. A small fleet of battle-ready vessels has entered Risa’s orbit. They are marked as Independent, but one of them is constructed of Orion parts.

So much for expecting a decent foe. Then what are you waiting for, Commander? This is a perfect position for a surprise attack. Go!
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
Wait. Lieutenant Garrett’s location has changed. She has been beamed to the Orion vessel. If we destroy it, we might hurt her in the process.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Georgiou
Dialogue
She’s not a child; she’ll figure it out! But maybe you’re correct. We shouldn’t rush things. Let’s get rid of those useless escort guns for hire first. Then we manage Garrett's situation.

Dialogue
There’s just one vessel preventing us from intercepting Jirru’s ship. Move your nacelles, Commander, before she makes up her mind and slips through my fingers! Get her!
