Commander, something terrible has happened here. I am picking up an enormous debris field nearby. Attempting to scan…

No lifesigns. Judging by the size of the debris field and taking into account the average mass of a Romulan vessel… I estimate that approximately twenty-four ships were destroyed here.

I am also detecting a strong radiological signature, almost similar to the residue left behind from a disruptor cannon, only on a much larger scale.

As we suspected, Commander, the Station was attacked by something extremely powerful. It could very well be the Borg.

The audio log makes reference to the Rooth system, further into Romulan space. We must investigate. We have to know for sure if the Borg have returned.

The description of the ship given to us by the Romulan survivor intrigues me. He described tendril-like spikes and a black hull…

It is reminiscent of another ship. One that we, as well as the entire galaxy, thought destroyed…

I will tell you what I can, but I am merely a transport officer. I know only a little about the experiments that were conducted here.

Experiments?
Objective ID

Dialogue
Yes. The facility that once orbited this planet was a Romulan science lab. Here, they undertook research that would ‘further ensure the dominance of the Empire’.

Weapons research, shielding, anything that would help them wage war.

I have no love for the Romulan Senate. It was their damned experiments that led to this catastrophe. Hundreds dead because of their arrogance.

On my last run here, I found myself surrounded by battleships. I thought they had finally caught on to my smuggling, but they just ignored me.

One moment the facility was there, orbiting the planet, then there was a flash of light, brighter than a thousand suns… And then there was just empty space where the station once lay.

The fleet was fighting something. I caught a glimpse of a ship. It’s nose covered in enormous, tendril-like spikes. Its hull, black as the void. The battle was over before I knew it.

It left nothing but ruin in its wake. No survivors, no salvageable technology… Only this.

This appears to be debris of some kind…

Yes. I found it within the wreckage of the lab. I think it is a hull fragment from the ship that destroyed the fleet.

Commander, we should bring this hull fragment back to our Station for analysis. We must determine its origins if we are to find the ship responsible for this attack.

You there, Independent! I require immediate assistance. My life support systems are failing, they won’t last much longer.

Scans of your vessel suggest that your warp core is leaking toxic gases, forcing your life support system into overdrive.

Damn it. My sensors and telemetry systems have been down for hours, I have no idea what’s going on in engineering. Can you help?
Objective ID

Phase

Dialogue
Potentially. It is possible that constructing a new Dilithium warp cage could help contain the leak until you can receive a full repair.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Torak
Dialogue
Yes, that could work! I would need 85,000 Dilithium to construct the cage… Can you spare that?
