Commander, a number of additional Klingon ships have emerged from warp within close proximity to the shipyard. It will only be a matter of time before they breach defenses and make landfall.

Independent, we may have a lead on what the Klingons are doing here. This shipyard is home to the development of a prototype ship known as the SS Revenant.

The Revenant is a Prohibitor-class starship based on salvaged El-Aurian schematics that were acquired following the decimation of their people by the Borg.

The House of Duras soldiers have just stolen that prototype and are attempting to escape with it. We have to stop them!

Commander Riker, our scans have shown that a Federation shuttle is among the escaping fleet. They may have had assistance from the inside.

A double agent? Of course, that would explain why they were capable of mounting a surprise attack with such little resistance…

We’ll need to stay here and help the survivors from the shipyard find medical assistance. Follow that shuttle, Independent. Find out who is onboard and bring them in for questioning. Riker out.

This is Captain Wright of the USS Marlow. A Federation shipyard located in the Noakyn system has come under attack from hostile Klingon forces. We need all available hands to respond immediately!

The message is brief and loops back to the beginning from this point. They are in urgent need of assistance.

Klingon forces? No prizes for guessing that the House of Duras could be involved in these attacks. But of course, there’s only one way to find out. Lay in course for Noakyn, mon commandant!

Commander Riker, what is happening here? Why have the Klingons attacked this shipyard?

Riker

Your guess is as good as mine. Although seeing as the livery of their ships suggest that this fleet belongs to the House of Duras, there are no prizes for guessing why they’re here.

This isn’t just a simple attack run. They’re trying to directly approach the shipyard. There’s something there they want, and we need to do everything we can to stop them.

How dare you sully his name by speaking it aloud!? The El-Aurians will return and, through the cosmic majesty of the Nexus, the great Dr. Soran will usher in our resurgence!

Q

So, it’s true. Soran has manipulated my son into doing his bidding. An El-Aurian using a Q as a tool of conquest? I won’t stand for such vulgarity!

Forget him, Independent. We’ve gleaned all of the information we need from him. The answer is right in front of us.

Q
Dialogue
This Soran wishes to use the Nexus to revive the lost El-Aurian race. But the energy ribbon that represents the “doorway” into the Nexus is nowhere near the El-Aurian system…

Phase

Character
Q
Dialogue
In fact, it would take the destruction of a number of star systems in order to alter the gravitational forces near the energy ribbon and move it to where he needs. And what would be capable of such a feat?

The trilithium… Soran seeks to mount the weapon aboard the SS Revenant. He is creating a mobile weapon of mass destruction.

Indeed he is, Independent. Send word to our friends onboard the Enterprise to come here at once. It would seem that the stakes at play are much higher than we initially thought.

While the remaining Klingons have escaped with the Prohibitor-class prototype, they appear to have abandoned the shuttle. We have it trapped within our tractor beam.

We may be able to interrogate the occupant in order to understand why the Klingons stole the Prohibitor-class prototype. Laying in a course for the Station. We should return there at once.
