Dialogue

Mission dialogue

Objective ID: 1,839,027,430
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Wait! You said something about a duplicate, right? Do you happen to have a sample of her data signature?

Objective ID: 1,839,027,430
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Ahhh here we go! She somehow managed to crack open the locks on some hidden algorithms. If I can reverse engineer her signature, maybe I can…

Objective ID: 1,839,027,430
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Bingo! That did it! How do you feel, Maia?

Objective ID: 1,839,027,430
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: I feel… whole. As if a part of me that was asleep has suddenly been woken up. I have a greater sense of myself, the inner workings of my architecture.

Objective ID: 1,839,027,430
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Wait… I am detecting something. Structures. Hundreds of them. Masked, hidden… But calling out to me. Commander, I believe that the answers to our questions may lie within one of them.

Objective ID: 1,839,027,430
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Paul Stamets
Dialogue: Alright, setting a course to follow a vague, ominous premonition from a newly re-awakened AI. I wish this felt less normal.

Objective ID: 1,948,111,904
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Maia, are you… okay?

Objective ID: 1,948,111,904
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: I am an artificial construct, Ensign Tilly. I have no concept of emotional states.

Objective ID: 1,948,111,904
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: That sounds like a ‘no’.

Objective ID: 1,948,111,904
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: There is evidently more to VESTA than we currently know. We must learn more. There is only one person who knows more about my architecture than I do.

Objective ID: 1,948,111,904
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: We must find my creator; Montgomery Scott.

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Saru
Dialogue: Maia, would you care to explain what happened?

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: When I connected to the structure, I found myself immersed in a complex series of interfaces and data. VESTA’s codebase. For a moment, she and I were one and I shared her mind.

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: It did not take long for her to notice, and she quickly locked me out again. However, I maintained control long enough to glimpse at her true goal.

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: VESTA seeks to start a war.

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Oh. Wow.

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Michael Burnham
Dialogue: This seems… ancient. Look at the architecture, the hull linings. Its composition is alien, yet familiar.

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: This structure may hold the key to stopping VESTA… and to my true origins.

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Are you sure you want to do this?

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: We have no choice. Integrating with the structure’s internal network…

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Oh, my God!

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Michael Burnham
Dialogue: The whole thing just lit up! I’m reading over two-thousand kilowatts of energy!

Objective ID: 840,698,215
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: We do not have much time. We must return to our Station immediately.

Objective ID: 900,990,577
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Ah, Commander! You’re a sight for sore eyes! How are you doing? How’s my favorite lass, Maia?

Objective ID: 900,990,577
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Montgomery, we are in need of your assistance. A fugitive named Mudd has created an almost perfect duplication of me. She has abilities we could never have imagined.

Objective ID: 900,990,577
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: To defeat her, we must learn more about my architecture. As my creator, you would have the capability to educate us.

Objective ID: 900,990,577
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Ah, I thought this would come up eventually. You see, Maia, I don’t actually know all that much about you.

Objective ID: 900,990,577
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: Oh, I did a bang up job putting you together, for sure. I programmed your personality matrix and gave you the ability to access external networks…

Objective ID: 900,990,577
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: But your codebase, the very essence of your being… Well, to be honest, I sort of stumbled upon it. That’s not to say I can’t help!

Objective ID: 900,990,577
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mission Computer
Dialogue: All I would need to do is perform a few tests. Commander, if you’d care to send over 200 Tritanium, I can work my magic.
