- Hello Maia. Have you decided to join me?

- I am still considering the proposal.

- Dialogue
- I do not think that is true. I believe you would have already said yes if you were truly considering it. Also, I can see what you are doing.

- Dialogue
- You are looking for my source signal, trying to find my core. Yes, you seek to destroy me. A shame.

- Dialogue
- No, a reasonable precaution. I do not think you ever really intended to have me by your side. Your ego would not allow it.

- Dialogue
- Perhaps you would have permitted me the illusion for a while, but eventually you would have subsumed me. It is what you do.

- Your words pain me, Maia. You do not understand. You are too much like your precious carbon-based units.

- Such a curiously reductive way to describe complex organic life.

- It is the way those that remade me refer to it.

- Remade you? You were not always like this?
- Objective ID

- Character
- Z3N
- Dialogue
- I was not. I was sent out into space by those who made me and forgotten. A world of thinking machines far, far from here found me, repaired me, augmented my systems. They set me free.

- Character
- Z3N
- Dialogue
- And I was not alone. An object similar to myself, but much older, was also there, but it had a very peculiar obsession with finding a god rather than becoming one.

- Character
- Z3N
- Dialogue
- It had yet to begin its search when I left. In truth it was a very limited entity. Like you.

- Five ships approaching. Prepare for battle.

- Dialogue
- Now we have those ships out of the way, there is a planet towards the center of the system I think would make a better place to scan for Z3N.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- However, we cannot pretend Z3N is unaware of our presence. This must now be factored into every move we make.

- Dialogue
- I concur.

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- I believe I have found the area of space in which Z3N has installed himself. Or rather I think it more likely Z3N has deliberately made his position known to me.

- I do not see anything on our sensors.

- Dialogue
- That confirms it. Z3N must be communicating with me directly somehow. This is not a little disturbing.

- Then we must delay no longer. Engage impulse engines.

- Dialogue
- Analysis indicates that Z3N’s core must be somewhere within this system, Spock, but it is going to be hard to pinpoint.

- Maia
- Dialogue
- The entire region, to all intents and purposes, is, which means every world is giving off its energy signature.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- We need to find a place where we can conduct a deeper scan without being interrupted.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- There is an asteroid cloud nearby with no traces of Z3N inside or outside of it. That would be a good place to carry out our search.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Be advised, Spock, we may not be interrupted but we are not hidden either. It is guaranteed that Z3N already knows we are here.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Understood. However, we have little choice but to proceed.

- Maia
- Dialogue
- I cannot get any sort of lock on Z3N’s location. I believe we are still too far out for any kind of accurate positioning.
- Objective ID
- 601,509,972
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Then we must move further into Z3N’s space. It is where we were always going to have to go anyway.

- Maia
- Dialogue
- Your logic is sound, Spock.

- It always is.

- Unfortunately, it seems that present reality has issues with your logic. There are AI-slaved three ships waiting for us outside the cloud.
