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.

Commander, I have received a message from our old friend Captain Cooper Jakes and his companion, the Kreyanthan known as Sib Lambda.

Maia
Dialogue
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.

Their science is driven entirely by their search for this entity, so that they may locate it and destroy it.

Jakes and Lambda have requested our help with one such investigation. If we are interested, they will be waiting for us at the edge of Esteris space.

Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
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.

I think it would be a good idea to take a step back and regroup a moment, while we consider our next steps.

We could leave the system.

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.

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.

Sib always errs on the side of caution. What do you suggest we do, Commander?

It is possible that if I transmit a particular frequency, perhaps this will allow us to pass through the barrier.

Welcome back aboard, Captain Jakes. It is a pleasure to have the company of both you and your esteemed colleague Sib Lambda once again.

Gracious as ever, Maia, thank you. And please, call me Cooper.

Yes, thank you, Maia, and you too, Commander, of course. We have worked well together and I hope this relationship will continue to bear fruit. And please, continue referring to me as Sib Lambda.

Of course. So, Cooper, how may we help?
Objective ID

Phase

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.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
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
23,311,565
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.
Objective ID
23,311,565
Phase
dialogue_start
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.
Objective ID
23,311,565
Phase

Maia
Dialogue
Of course.
Objective ID
23,311,565
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
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.
Objective ID
23,311,565
Phase

Sib Lambda
Dialogue
They already call themselves disciples, Cooper. This is a very discouraging sign.

Very good. Then we shall head for Vinram immediately.

Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
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.
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
Indeed. The Q entity demonstrates more power than this Omegron.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
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.

Dialogue
I agree.

To be God is crime enough, to emulate it speaks of a peculiar sickness.

Then it is up to us to endeavor to administer the correct medicine.

I am sorry, Cooper, but our second attempt to leave Esteris has failed. We are being blocked.

It means multiple vessels are now converging on our position. And there is nowhere for us to go. I am sorry, Cooper, but we have no choice. We must fight. Battle stations.
