I’ve got a lock on the Admiral’s signature. Keep us steady, Lieutenant. We’ve only got one shot at this. Energizing…

Excellent work, Lieutenant. Commander, the remainder of the Augment fleet is sure to pursue us. You must prevent that from happening.

They have deployed a jamming signal to prevent me from exfiltrating the Admiral. I will need more time to bypass their signal and get a lock on the Admiral’s signature.

Commander, the loss of Admiral Kirk could permanently destabilize this timeline. His rescue and safe return to Starbase 12 is of paramount importance.

Captain Spock
Dialogue
There may be a way. Although Khan banished us to Ceti Alpha V, he failed to relinquish us of our communicators. If you can source the signal from the Admiral’s communicator, we may locate him.

Commander, I’m sure that I need not inform you that discretion will be a key weapon in our arsenal during this operation. It would benefit us to forego reinforcements in order to remain inconspicuous.

Agreed. If our approach is discovered, Khan may give the order to execute the Admiral immediately. We will need to attempt to rescue Admiral Kirk with a single ship. The Commander will lead this operation.

Lieutenant Saavik, I was not aware that you had been cleared to be discharged from sick bay.

I was not. But if you intend to reach Admiral Kirk in time, then you will require a competent navigator.

This is highly unorthodox, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant Saavik
Dialogue
With all due respect, Captain, I believe that your reasoning for having your officers sit the Kobayashi Maru test was to encourage us to face our fears and develop strategic thinking.

Lieutenant Saavik

Frankly, I fear that the loss of Admiral Kirk would prove to be a fatal blow to the morale of Starfleet as a whole. I wish to avoid this outcome just as much as you do.

Khan
Dialogue
Captain Spock, what a pleasant surprise. I most certainly wasn’t expecting to find you here. An Independent’s runabout is quite a step down from the bridge of a Starfleet vessel, is it not?

Phase

Character
Captain Spock
Dialogue
This Independent’s “runabout” has just defeated a number of your own ships, Khan. Perhaps the cowardly approach of utilizing unmanned drones has not proven beneficial to your operations?

Khan

Touché, Captain. I would take pleasure in further exchanging barbs with you, but you’re not the one I wish to speak with. Independent, this is a message for you and you alone.

It seems that I may have underestimated you. While I admit that I’ve taken a strange pleasure in watching a warrior of your caliber display their prowess, what you’ve just done is a step too far.

And yet, I am not a cruel man. I have been known to offer clemency, and I offer it to you now. Return James T. Kirk to me, and there may be a place for you at my table.

The transmission has been terminated. We must resume a course for Starbase 12 at once. Admiral Kirk may require medical attention.

For what it is worth, Commander, I too trusted that you would choose the correct path. It is reassuring to know that my faith in you was not misplaced.

Very good, Lieutenant. Commander, initiate a scan of the vicinity. Your sensors are far more sophisticated than even those found on the Enterprise. You may be able to locate the Admiral’s communicator.

Captain Spock, our scans have detected an Augment convoy heading directly for Cestus II. Lifesigns are minimal, and we have acquired a lock on Admiral Kirk’s communicator.

Lieutenant Saavik

I recognize that particular convoy, sir. It’s the same fleet that arrived on Ceti Alpha V the day the prisoners were transferred from Ceti Alpha V. Admiral Kirk was among them.

Phase

Captain Spock
Dialogue
Then we may have found him. I cannot obtain a lock on the Admiral’s signature in order to beam him aboard. We may need to cause a distraction.

Lieutenant Saavik
Dialogue
But what about discretion, Captain? I believe that remaining inconspicuous was part of our plan?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Captain Spock
Dialogue
Plans change, Lieutenant. Our discretion got us this close to the Augment fleet. If we launch a pre-emptive strike on the convoy, then we may deprive them of a chance to escape.
