- One of Omegron’s followers. One of his disciples. I suspect he realizes we are here to question the validity of his god. He is not happy about it.

- As you recall, Captain Jakes is one of Starfleet’s leading minds in the field of xenotheology and is often tasked with investigating instances of alleged celestial manifestations across the galaxy.

- Dialogue
- His partner’s people, the Kreyantha, are scientific theists who believe there is a God, but that it is an evil, capricious entity that seeks only to toy with its creations.

- I’m not sure I’m comfortable engaging them in battle. They are in thrall to Omegron, under his control. Innocent. We need more information.

- Hmm, okay, let’s do that. Just for a while. We’re going to have to come back, but perhaps this might put Omergron’s disciples at ease.

- Dialogue
- Some kind of force field is in place that is preventing us from leaving Esteris. However, it is too early to tell if the field is of divine providence, Sib Lambda.

- Character
- Cooper Jakes
- Dialogue
- It appears a God has emerged within the Esteris space, at first across the planet Vinram, but now flitting between all the worlds within the system. It calls itself Omegron.

- Dialogue
- Gods appear all over the place, all the time, Cooper. The likelihood of it being a true creator-level divinity are low.
- Objective ID

- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Cooper Jakes
- Dialogue
- I agree. I have observed many such phenomena during my investigations and research. They invariably turn out to be some sort of entity that,while admittedly powerful, always falls short of godhood.

- Character
- Sib Lambda
- Dialogue
- Yet investigate we must. It is my duty to look into all such instances of potential divine incursion. If it is indeed the true God daring to show its face, then I am oath bound to wipe it from existence.

- Dialogue
- Yes, well, I’m certain it won’t come to that. Still, we should make sure all the same. To that end I’d like to meet with a group of Omegron’s followers on Vinram.

- Not bad for the team who didn’t have god on their side. Which only furthers my conviction that we are not dealing with authentic omnipotence.

- Be that as it may, it is still exerting a mighty influence across Esteris, and bending the system’s people to its will. We still need to stop it.
