The system has been cleared of mercenaries, Commander. For now.

That should be enough to keep Alora and her team safe until we can return.

What do the schematics tell us about these prototypes, Maia?

It is quite interesting, Doctor. The technology can affect the atmosphere and weather of an entire planet to make it more hospitable to life.

Its functions include cloud seeding, reduction of atmospheric radiation and control of extreme temperatures.

The potential benefits are massive. This technology has applications for terraforming, but also for minimizing environmental disasters on settled planets.

Agreed. Instead of risking that this research once again falls into the wrong hands, I propose that we take preventative action.

I’m glad to see you, Commander! There is a delicate matter that I would like your help with.

A former colleague of mine is heading up a research team on Vi’ir. They are developing a cutting edge technology, something they call Atmospheric Manipulation Technology.

However, something has gone terribly wrong. Alora was hesitant to communicate too much as she fears her channels are being monitored.

I’d appreciate you accompanying me to their research facility to discover what has gone wrong and what we might do to help.

Very well, Doctor. Setting a course for the Hurgh’maQ system now.

The system is swarming with mercenary ships. This research is not a well kept secret, apparently. We should be cautious in our approach.

Let’s open a line of communication with the researchers on Vi’ir.

Connection established with the research facility.

For the last time, you have been misinformed. We do not have the technology you seek.

Oh! My apologies, Beverly. I mistook you for yet another mercenary.

No apologies necessary, Alora. This is a precarious situation you find yourself in.

Indeed. The Atmospheric Manipulation Technology I told you about has been progressing nicely, but word has spread of the research we are conducting here.

Dialogue
We created three prototypes and were about to start testing when they were stolen. Around that same time, extreme weather phenomenons began in the Ra’taj system. It cannot be a coincidence.

Dialogue
We believe that the stolen AMT prototype has been reverse engineered to form some sort of environmental weapon. The thieves must be tracked down and stopped before they can do further damage.

What of those living on the affected planets? Helping them should be our first priority.

Alora
Dialogue
I couldn’t agree more. We have been hard at work creating a remote control device which will allow you to deactivate the stolen prototypes from orbit.

Dialogue
You will simply need to scan the affected planets to identify the prototype’s location. The device will do the rest.

I will also transmit the prototype schematics so that you can better understand what you are dealing with.

Understood. Let’s get the controller and schematics and be on our way, Commander.
