Dialogue

Mission dialogue

Objective ID: 1,666,393,418
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Tuvok
Dialogue: Captain, we have arrived in the Sorethna system. We appear to have remained undetected.

Objective ID: 1,666,393,418
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Thank you, Ensign. Now, let’s fill the sensor banks to the brim with all the data we can about these cloaked vessels. Which means tempting them to decloak and fire. Lojur, you have your heading.

Objective ID: 1,666,393,418
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Let’s hope the interference from the nebula doesn’t alert the rest of the Federation task force to our presence. We have a very specific mission, and I’d rather not risk unwarranted casualties.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Commander, since we are still in the dark, I recommend we replay Captain Sulu’s log from an earlier stardate. I can also insert recorded bridge audio, where relevant.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: I have found a pertinent point from which to begin the log. I shall output to the bridge, so your senior crew may listen as well. Make yourselves comfortable, everyone.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Captain’s log, stardate… What the hell is the stardate? I guess I’ve had too much on my mind. I’m sure the log records the date automatically, anyhow.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: It was stardate 9770.9.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: And where did I put my tea?… Ah yes. Hmmmm, that’s much better.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Now where was I? The reason, dear listener, why my mind is somewhat out of sorts lately, is because the Excelsior is returning from perhaps the strangest battle of my entire life.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: We are in urgent need of repairs – and new orders – but that is not what concerns me. What concerns me is that we encountered Klingons and Romulans working together.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: But it’s worse than that, as Dr McCoy might say: Federation starships fought alongside them as well! With cloaking technology! But none of the ships appeared to match the usual cloaking tells.

Objective ID: 1,848,876,999
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: So yes, it’s like having the great bird of the galaxy perched on my shoulders. Which is why we must reach Starbase 87 with utmost haste.

Objective ID: 267,358,464
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Captain’s log, stardate 9771.4. The Admiralty Board seemed to take the news of cloaked Federation starships working with the Romulans and Klingons wholly in their stride.

Objective ID: 267,358,464
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: I can’t help but feel they’re hiding something. That’s not surprising, when it transpires more Starfleet vessels have vanished than initially reported.

Objective ID: 267,358,464
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Still, at least their engineering team has a plan: they want to modify the Excelsior’s deflector array, so that it can emit a pulse that will decloak these ships.

Objective ID: 267,358,464
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: I’m not sure what Scotty will make of mutilating the ship like that, but I have to say, it would at least give me some options. Right now, I feel like I’m fencing with a foil in a saber match.

Objective ID: 267,358,464
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Though before we can even think about upgrades, we need to return to the battle. The backroom boffins can’t work their magic without detailed sensor data on this new type of cloak.

Objective ID: 267,358,464
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: That means it’s a stealth mission for us – lest the ship take another beating.

Objective ID: 390,956,443
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Excellent! That should do for these Klingon ships. There’s only so long we can tag them and move on, before we bite off more than we can handle.

Objective ID: 390,956,443
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Helm, let’s see if we can’t draw a cloaked Federation starship out of its hiding place as well.

Objective ID: 594,565,822
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Tuvok
Dialogue: We have successfully docked at Starbase 87. Transferring sensor logs to the shipyard.

Objective ID: 594,565,822
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Home at last! Then it’s time we vacate this vessel, Mr Tuvok. I understand the modifications to the deflector will take at least two days – might as well take a little R & R while we wait.

Objective ID: 594,565,822
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Tuvok
Dialogue: “R & R,” sir?

Objective ID: 594,565,822
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Don’t tell me Vulcans don’t have rest and recreation – because as with humor, I know better.

Objective ID: 594,565,822
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Tuvok
Dialogue: Captain, I believe we have acquired sufficient data for the development of our upgrade.

Objective ID: 594,565,822
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Good, then let’s get out of here. It still feels wrong to be targeting another Starfleet ship – even one reported missing and that is now trying to run us through.

Objective ID: 594,565,822
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Sulu
Dialogue: Helm, chart us a course back to Federation space.
