I hear the Consortium and Syndicate are joining forces. They’ve already registered documents to start a new business in the Margins. Care to explain?

We thought something good could come of this. The fact that they’re working through legal channels indicates it will.

I see. Well, when this blows up in your face – and it will – you’ll be responsible for cleaning it up.

Don’t worry. We’re used to cleaning up your messes, so it’s nothing new.

We should return to Sloan. He will not be happy about the outcome, however.

Great. Well, folks. You’ve been given a second chance. Don’t mess it up.

Well, there is one little snag…

What is it?

Qaatir
Dialogue
Between the trade wars, and working to save the Margins, and then our vendetta against you, it’s left us a little… short of resources.

You cannot be serious! Don’t embarrass me in front of the Commander after I vouched for you!

Character
Dizoh
Dialogue
We’re not proud of it, but we need a little help to get back on track. We’ll use it for good, as you said. We promise.

Just a small, one-time investment of [HIGH] Parsteel will yield huge returns down the road, I guarantee!
Objective ID

Character
Ven
Dialogue
Enough with the sales pitch. Commander, do you have a spare [HIGH] Parsteel?
Objective ID

Dialogue
Drone deployed. Keep an eye on the monitor, Ven. It will show us the feed from the drone.
Objective ID

Got it. The drone is moving into the middle of the ambush…

Have they noticed it?

Oh, they’ve noticed it, alright. They’re attacking like crazy, those lunatics. They won’t be distracted for long, Commander.

Then we should go now.

Ven
Dialogue
How are we supposed to out-ambush an ambush by ourselves?
Objective ID
1,903,684,224
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
We know about it in advance, giving us the upper hand. That is something.
Objective ID

Character
Ven
Dialogue
Knowledge doesn’t make our ship immune to torpedoes.
Objective ID
1,903,684,224
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
We do not need immunity, just a distraction. If we send a drone in as a decoy, it allows us to arrive in the system unnoticed, assuming we time it correctly.
Objective ID

Phase

Ven
Dialogue
A classic Maia plan! Let’s do it!
Objective ID

We will need to warp closer to the trap to deploy the drone. Setting a course now.

You Orion fools! You were supposed to raise the alarm when the Independent arrived!
Objective ID

Dizoh
Dialogue
You were the ones who opened fire on the drone! How did you not realize it was a distraction!
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase

Character
Ven
Dialogue
Cut it out. You’ve bickered enough for ten lifetimes. It’s time to actually listen for once!
Objective ID

Character
Dizoh
Dialogue
What do you want? You’re just going to gloat about defeating us?
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
This needs to stop. We have bigger problems to focus on, without dealing with your half-hearted attacks on us.
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Qaatir
Dialogue
Then maybe you shouldn’t have been playing both sides for fools!
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
We did what we had to for the Margins. We had to keep both of you in check.
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Dizoh
Dialogue
How insulting!
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Ven
Dialogue
If you acted like actual entrepreneurs, instead of the scoundrels, we wouldn’t have to keep an eye on you. This has gone too far, and we need to put a stop to it!
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Qaatir
Dialogue
What does that mean!? You’ve already bested us, there’s no need to continue these aggressions!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Ven
Dialogue
I have an idea, and I think the Commander will appreciate it.
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase

Character
Ven
Dialogue
Work together for good, like you did when we saved the Margins. Make this place better. And we won’t have to “continue these aggressions.”
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Ven, you may be getting ahead of yourself. Sloan said that the Consortium and Syndicate working together is bad for the Margins in the long-run.
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Maia
Dialogue
And I am inclined to agree. Either they turn on each other, and we end up back where we started. Or they combine their questionable practices to exploit the Margins for profit.
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Ven
Dialogue
If you’re listening to Sloan, of all people, then you might need to re-evaluate how you make choices.
Objective ID
39,901,735
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Ven
Dialogue
Have some faith, Commander. They’re really not as bad as Sloan thinks, they’ve proven that much. They deserve a chance to start over.
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
We have remained undetected by both the Orions and the Ferengi, Commander.

Dialogue
Got them right where we want them! Let’s show them what happens when you try to outsmart us!

Luther Sloan
Dialogue
Independent, I hear the Consortium and Syndicate are both in ashes. You’ve done well, even though you caused the mess to begin with.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Ven
Dialogue
Hmph.
Objective ID
455,785,643
Phase

Luther Sloan
Dialogue
Do not let anything happen again, understood? For the sake of the Margins, if nothing else.
Objective ID
455,785,643
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Yes, Director Sloan.
Objective ID
455,785,643
Phase

Character
Ven
Dialogue
Well, whatever helps you sleep at night, Commander. Or whatever Maia does instead of sleeping…
Objective ID
455,785,643
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
It is done. The rest of the ships are escaping, but they are low-level members of the Consortium and Syndicate. Not enough to rebuild.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Ven
Dialogue
It didn’t need to go that way.
Objective ID

We were working for Sloan, and the job has been completed. We should return to him with the news.

It is too late for starting over. This ambush crossed the line.

Not okay, Commander…
