My God. I knew the Progenitors were way beyond us in technological terms, but the way they just flattened those Romulans… We’re in big trouble here, Commander.

There’s no way we can just ignore them now, not after what we just saw. We need to figure out a way to stop them and we need to do it soon.

Looks like they’re still here. Maia, do you have any idea what they’re doing?

They appear to be scanning a Romulan station.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. The Romulans are probably the most technologically advanced civilization in the galaxy. And they know it, too, the arrogant buggers.

Seven Gladius class vessels are inbound on the Progenitor’s location. I am maintaining visual.

I didn’t even see… Those ships just got vaporized. How did they do that?

Unknown. I was unable to retrieve any meaningful data on their weapons. I recommend returning to our Station immediately. The Romulans may view our presence here as an attack.

The more we learn about these Progenitors, the more convinced I am that they’re up to something.

It seems likely that they have ulterior motives that have not yet been revealed.

I’d say that’s an understatement. They talk about us like we’re a damn science project.

It is possible that, in their point of view, we are. We simply do not have any information on what they know about our galaxy or what their plans are for it.

Well, there must be some way we can find out.

The Progenitors seem to regularly travel to various points of the galaxy, possibly as part of their research. We could follow them and observe their behavior.

Follow the insanely powerful, possibly hostile aliens and hope we don’t get caught? Sure, it’s hardly the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.

The Progenitor ships have yet to leave this system. It is likely that their warp capabilities are far more advanced than ours.

I will attempt to implant a tracking device onto their hull so we do not lose them.

Good thinking, Maia and just in time. I’m picking up some serious spatial distortions around their ships. I can’t even imagine how much power those engines are using.

The energy readings do not seem to point to any sort of warp technology that we are aware of.

Aye. From what I can see, their ships are creating a miniature tear in slipspace. I can’t even imagine the power output that would take!

The Progenitor ships have left, Commander. My tracker is intact and operational. We should follow them.

The Progenitors have already finished whatever business they had here. They seem to be heading towards Romulan space now. However, I have noticed something interesting.

Dialogue
The ships travel several orders of magnitude faster than anything in our galaxy, but they come out of warp at regular intervals before continuing.

Dialogue
Aye, that makes sense. The amount of background radiation in slipspace makes it impossible for ships to navigate. You’d need to pop out fairly regularly to calibrate and stay on course.

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Yes, but their ships are coming out of slipspace in a strange pattern. Their path takes them a considerable distance farther than they would need to travel, even through traditional warp paths.

They don’t seem like the kind to take random stops for the pretty view. There must be some reason for it… Where are they heading now?

They have arrived in the Naalur system, in Romulan space.
