Alright, Commander. We’ve acquired visual confirmation of the Orion fleet. We’re going to be speaking with Veku, a high-ranking boss. Myself and Veku have… history, let’s just leave it at that.

Ah, my dear Gessa. It’s been too long since we last spoke, but I knew that it was only a matter of time before you came crawling back.

What can I say? You’re just too charming to stay away from. But you know as well as I do that we didn’t come here to exchange pleasantries. I want to talk business with you.

Yes, your invitation alluded to something of a mutually beneficial arrangement between the Forsaken and the Syndicate. I do believe that there’s room to take you on as a client, but first we must–

Veku, our sensors have detected several hostile signatures emerging from warp nearby. This traitor has set us up!

The hostiles have altered course. They’ve engaged attack formations and raised their shields. This is an ambush, Gessa means to kill us all!

Tell that idiot on your bridge that I have nothing to do with this. Here, I’ll show you.

Commander, red alert! We have to drive back those hostile ships. If something happens to Veku, the Syndicate will do everything they can to destroy the Forsaken. We can’t let that happen!

Targets eliminated. The remaining hostile ships have begun to retreat. We should be safe for now, but it would be wise of us to leave this system as soon as possible.

Wait, we can’t leave just yet. We have to reestablish contact with Veku and make sure that they’re alright. Opening a channel.

Gessa, if you don’t want me to order that little ship of yours to be atomized immediately, you’d better explain yourself…

I promise that had nothing to do with us. Come on, you know me better than that. If I wanted to kill you, I’d have done it myself.

Then let my actions speak for themselves. You saw my ship open fire on those hostiles. Now, I’m going to help you repair your fleet.

According to my scans, you’re going to need approximately 50K Σ-Tritanium. Here, take it.

Oh, so you made it back in one piece, then? I’m surprised the Orions didn’t take the chance to steal your ship and everything inside.

A band of troublesome hostiles tried to interrupt our meeting. The Syndicate were convinced we tried to ambush them. Thanks to the Commander here, they were able to see sense.

Dialogue
There’s more where that came from. There are enough Tritanium reserves in Forsaken territory to make sure that the Syndicate are set for life. All you have to do is scratch our backs, and we’ll scratch yours.

Hmmm… Alright Gessa, against my better judgement, I’ll trust you on this one. Finalize your requests and contact my people. The Orion Syndicate will enter into this partnership with the Forsaken.

You have my gratitude, Veku. I promise, you won’t regret this.

I’d better not. My regrets will become your regrets, as I’m sure you’re aware. I sincerely hope that this does not come to pass. Veku out.

It was looking bad for a moment there, but I think we pulled it back. I couldn’t have done this without you, Commander. We’d better get back to Iohap and bring the news to the council.

Commander, it’s good that you’re here. Perhaps you can help us settle a little quandary.

What appears to be the issue?

Oh, I’ll tell you what the issue is! This foolish Orion has just broken away from that repugnant Syndicate of hers, and now she wants to go crawling back to them!

Calm yourself, Vaxto. This anger is unbecoming of you. I think it would be best if we allow Gessa to explain herself.

Dialogue
As you may know, the Forsaken's supplies are dwindling. Without establishing trade relations with other factions in the galaxy, our venture is doomed to an inevitable failure.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Gessa
Dialogue
While we in the Forsaken wish to establish ourselves as an Independent entity, we will still need to maintain trade relations with other factions and species in order to continue our pursuit of prosperity.

Gessa
Dialogue
In light of this, I have arranged a meeting with my connections in the Orion Syndicate. I hope to establish a mutually beneficial arrangement for both the Forsaken and the Syndicate.
Objective ID

Character
Vaxto
Dialogue
And therein lies the problem, Commander. This rogue has gone behind our backs and arranged this meeting without the required unanimous approval of the council!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Vaxto
Dialogue
Consequently, we now find ourselves at a stalemate. The votes are tied and we continue to waste precious time quarreling over the obvious – the Forsaken should have no affiliation with the Syndicate.
Objective ID

Phase

Character

Dialogue
I think the timing of the Commander’s arrival is just what we need to break this stalemate. What do you say, Commander? Should the Forsaken trust the Syndicate?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
While the Orion Syndicate retains a dubious reputation, the Forsaken are lacking in options and must secure vital resources as soon as possible. There may currently be no other alternative.

Well, that settles it. Commander, we would greatly appreciate it if you would accompany Gessa to this meeting. Make sure all goes according to plan and report back as soon as possible.
