Commander, this would be a good time to conduct some biometric scans. So many Thallorans in one place.

I’m not so sure. Look at the rest of his crew. Now look at mine.

Alright, so this dimension hasn’t been good to them. I mean, I’d be lying if I said it hadn’t taken its toll. Anyway, they’ve been here a lot longer than you have.

Nothing. A headache, that’s all. Look, the funeral is starting. We should pay our respects.

I know, it’s just–
Objective ID

Phase

Mark V

There. Mind you, this is not a cure. But it will buy us time while we create proper bio-temporal chambers.

Are we ready to test it?

You may retrieve your friend. And a thank you would be nice.

You were right, my dear. Temporal therapy was the solution.

I’m just sorry we didn’t figure it out before we lost Mox.

Me too. But at least no one else has to die young of old age.

There are likely many more Thallorans at risk throughout the Margins.

You already have your hands full. Armand and I will take care of this, at least until we have the cure.

We should get moving, then, love. Not a moment to waste.

Vital signs are showing some improvement. It worked!

Of course it worked.
Objective ID

We would be lost without you, Mark.
Objective ID

Undoubtedly. Now, leave me in peace while I work on creating a proper bio-temporal chamber.
Objective ID
416,382,369
Phase

Character
Alexis
Dialogue
Commander, we should return to the Shipyard so that we can administer the treatment to the most at-risk Thallorans.
Objective ID
416,382,369
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Ven
Dialogue
Wait, you figured it out?
Objective ID
416,382,369
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
We figured it out, Ven. Everything is going to be alright. We just need a little more time.
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
But what do you think is causing it?
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Ven
Dialogue
Hell if I know. All I know for sure is that my people are getting sick, and that it started happening after the anomaly was closed.
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Ven
Dialogue
After everything we’ve been through, I thought things would finally start getting better. But they’re only getting worse.
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
We are going to figure this out, Ven.
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Ven
Dialogue
I sure hope so. We should– Oh, no…
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
What is it?
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Ven
Dialogue
Just got word from the Shipyard. Mox is dead. Dammit!
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
I am sorry, Ven.
Objective ID
877,921,356
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Ven
Dialogue
Yeah, me too. We need to get over there. Maybe we can learn something, stop this from happening to anyone else.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase

Character
Alexis
Dialogue
Mark V, I recall you telling me stories about your predecessors and the feats they accomplished.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
Oh, yes. I come from a most impressive line of Doctors. My codebase is more refined than any–
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
Yes, yes. Does it happen to contain any information about temporal therapy?
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
Ahem! In what regard?
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Fetra
Dialogue
My people are suffering from an aging sickness. We think that the timestream in our dimension moves differently than the one here.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
Fascinating, though improbable.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Fetra
Dialogue
We have living proof. See for yourself.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
Hmm… Scans do show some discrepancies. If what you say is true, then I may have a solution.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
Well? Out with it.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
Patience! This information is from two models ago. Let me see… A previous Doctor devised a bio-temporal chamber to extend the life of a short-lived species.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
In that case, the goal was to push the patient’s cells to an earlier stage of entropic decay.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
However, if we could use those same principles to bring the Thalloran’s cells to a similar rate of decay as organics from this dimension, it should solve the problem.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
How do we do that? Ven hasn’t got long, and nor do the rest of Mox’s crew.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
Well, it will take some time to build, of course. Unless there is an existing technology we can retrofit.
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
…What about our charging pods?
Objective ID
932,070,823
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Mark V
Dialogue
It is a crude base, but it is doable. It is a start, at least. But I will need resources to upgrade a pod. 80K Σ-Dilithium, to start.
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
She is stable for now, but her condition is deteriorating. As I understand it, Ven has been in this dimension for quite some time.
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Fetra
Dialogue
So Armand’s theory is right. The longer a Thalloran has spent here, the more at risk they are of this aging disease.
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
The biometric scans confirm this. Mox’s crew’s biological clocks are completely off. Even yours are beyond where they should be.
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Ven’s… Well, she may not have much time left.
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
But this all started happening when the anomaly was contained. Why not before?
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
If the Thalloran’s time stream runs differently to ours, then the link between dimensions might have slowed the effects.
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Fetra
Dialogue
Right. When that was cut off, the full consequences of the incongruity began to surface.
Objective ID
995,392,475
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Alexis
Dialogue
I must admit, I have no idea how we might adapt your people’s biology to the local timestream. However, I do believe I know someone who can help.
