- Spock, we’re going to need a little help on this one. The prisoners seem to have taken a vow of silence or something.

- Dialogue
- That would make sense. They did refer to their actions as a “sacred duty” when we confronted them. Logically, one can surmise that their objectives are religious in nature.

- Exactly. So we need someone who can speak to them in their language, someone who might appear understanding of whatever their belief is driving them to do.

- I do, as it happens. Captain Cooper Jakes, currently stationed in the Ortek system, observing Swarm clusters. He’s pretty much the word on comparative intergalactic faith systems and spirituality.

- Ah yes, I am familiar with Captain Jakes. His treatise on the Vulcan journey from polytheism to the embrace of logic was fascinating, and admired by many on my world.

- Dialogue
- While it is true that we Vulcans are in all ways superior to the human species, we are willing to concede that every now and then one of you emerges who might be considered almost equal in intellect.

- Nothing I can’t handle, Cooper. So, you were saying, the Kreyantha are searching for God?
- Objective ID

- Character
- Cooper Jakes
- Dialogue
- Yes, but their society has evolved around a credo of theistic empiricism.

- Dialogue
- They are religious scientists. I’ve never encountered anything like it. Their entire world is given over to a scientific investigation, not into the existence of God, which they believe implicitly, but its location.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Cooper Jakes
- Dialogue
- They believe God is in a physical place and that the key to finding this place is hidden inside all intelligent biological matter, concealed within a particle they call the Divine Spark. But they don’t know where.

- Dialogue
- Exactly. You cannot find a spark in something which is dead, Chris. But here is the most fascinating aspect. When the Kreyantha do finally find God… they want to kill it!

- Character
- Cooper Jakes
- Dialogue
- I just sat with them and told them about myself, what I do, what I believe. At first they were cold, or at least that is how they seemed. Perhaps they are simply more in control of their emotions.

- Dialogue
- However, as I went on, describing my interactions with religious beings across the galaxy, I began to notice a change. Not exactly a softening, but more… an interest in what I was saying.

- Dialogue
- When I began to talk about my own spiritual journey, though, that is when their whole demeanor changed. My search for meaning, for the self, resonated with them on a very deep level.

- Dialogue
- I understand our new acquaintances aren’t very talkative. However, if we're dealing with a deeply held faith system, perhaps all that is required is a more enlightened tone and a point of commonality.
