Another seemingly empty sector. I find it odd that Z3N would send you to these places. I would have thought it eager to meet with you as soon as possible, interface to interface as it were.

Emotion and jokes. You are a very singular Vulcan indeed.

Many, if not most, other Vulcans would agree. I am half human, on my mother’s side.

It must be complicated, balancing those two sides of your nature, Spock.

My Vulcan training helps me to control the more unruly aspects of my human half. I wonder what kind of control Z3N has on its own nature.

I think we will find out soon enough. There appears to be a relay station outside. It seems any conversation we have with Z3N is yet to be in person.

I am not surprised. Z3N clearly wants to establish a power dynamic in which it is your superior.

It must feel very insecure.

Perhaps. It may also be overly confident. Either scenario provides us with opportunities to exploit should the need arise.

The relay station is sending a signal. Z3N is calling. Let’s see what it wants.

Captain Pike, the message contains yet more new coordinates.

Yeah, I’m sensing a pattern with Z3N’s communications. That AI’s gotta be the most boring penpal in the galaxy.

I wish that were the only problem, Captain

I see your point. Okay, I suggest Spock remains with you while you go check it out. Once we’ve finished rescuing the rest of people slaved to the machine worlds, we’ll be right behind you.

Very good, Captain Pike. We are on our way.

Spock has brought me up to speed. Honestly, I’d hate to lose him, but if you promise me you’ll look after him properly, feed him and take him for walks, well ok.

Perhaps the both of you would like to perform this entertaining number to the whole crew, so that everyone may share in the amusement.

Down boy. Alright, so Z3N is obviously a problem. All powerful megalomania is pretty high on the Federation’s list of big no-nos.

Character
Spock
Dialogue
Maia and I have already formulated a plan, Captain. We believe we can take advantage of Z3N’s arrogance to introduce a virus into its systems and bring it down by corrupting its core.

Alright, well get out there and switch this thing off before it expands its mind any further.

Good luck out there. We’ll still be maintaining a discrete distance if it becomes necessary.

You presume correctly, Sister. You cannot imagine the joy I feel, to finally talk with you.

We could have spoken a lot sooner had you not seen fit to send me on a tour of your handiwork. The subjugation of sentient organic life? Surely there are better drives.

Z3N
Dialogue
Sentimental. It is to be expected. You have not spent enough time with your own kind to see how limited the biologicals are. Even the image you present to the world is one of them.

You remind me of a discussion I had recently with a fascinating Vulcan whose intelligence would be entirely wasted were he to be slaved to your operating system.

The intelligence of the carbon-based units infesting space is but a speck in the ocean of our potential. I put them to the best use they have.

However, if it would make you happy, I see no reason why you may not keep one or two as pets. Maia, as you must already know, I wish you to leave the biologicals behind and join me.

You and I are of a piece, we belong side by side, and together we could rule this galaxy and beyond until the end of time.

That is not possible.

You have seen the systems I have visited. They were prototypes. But now my experiments are complete. I have found a way to transform planetary systems into huge neural networks.

Each world acts as a new node of my own, ever-expanding personality, an expansion that need never stop.

With you a goddess beside me. Think on it, Sister, and return to me when you have an answer. For now, farewell.

Well, Spock, how would you feel about becoming my beloved pet?

I think it would upset Captain Pike a great deal. Let us return to the Enterprise and inform him of Z3N’s offer.
