Right. Get us back to Mina, Commander. We are bringing this to the authorities. It is time to change our strategy.

You Ferengi should stick to your backroom business deals. You are not known for your battle prowess, and I can see why.

Greetings, Independent. Have you come to trade?

No. We’re not here to trade. We’re here to get back what you took from us. Don’t even try to deny it. We know it was you.

My dear man, I’m sure I have no idea what you’re talking about. But if you would like to see the wares and services we have on offer–

You’ve caused quite the ruckus, you have.

Well, we needn’t cause any more. Give us back the designs for the Vindicator, and we’ll just turn around and leave.

Oh, you think that you’re leaving here? No, no, no, my friend. You have come into my domain. You have challenged my people.

What’s more, you have sorely underestimated us.

Commander, I am detecting incoming ships. The leader must have called for reinforcements.

Dialogue
People like you are always underestimating people like us. Your designs are ingenious, by the way. We’re going to make a hell of a lot of Latinum off them.

The program has been completed. What will our bait be?

Character
Darila
Dialogue
How about… A new mining ship. An ultra-fast miner that runs on, er… Space crystals. Yes. The ship manipulates time so that days turn into mere minutes.

Perfect! And let’s workshop that, ok? You might be onto something there.

Darila
Dialogue
It would be my pleasure. But right now, you need to spread the word about this revolutionary new miner. It should not come from me, in case they have the same people scouting.

There’s a networking event happening later. Some smaller businesses have been invited, a rising stars type thing. Use it to set the bait.

Well! And why was Aether Spaceworks not invited to this mixer?

Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
Er… An oversight, I’m sure. Anyway, let us know when you have more information. We’ll await your signal.

Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
And they flat-out admitted to having stolen your intellectual property?

Tomothy
Dialogue
Well, they didn’t think we were making it out of there. If we didn’t have this Independent with us, we wouldn’t have.

Phase

Character
Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
Dammit, I knew these thefts were connected! I tried to bring it to the brass, but I never had enough to go on. They target small businesses, people who don’t have the resources to push their case.
Objective ID
808,746,220
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
And they’re clever. Good at covering their tracks. But it looks like they’ve finally slipped up.

Phase

Character
Darila
Dialogue
So what now?
Objective ID
808,746,220
Phase

Character
Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
Now we get some hard proof. We have your testimony, but it’s not enough. We’ve had testimony on these guys before, but they’re slippery.
Objective ID
808,746,220
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
And they know how to grease the wheel. Now, say we were to dangle some bait that we know the Ferengis couldn’t ignore.
Objective ID
808,746,220
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
Say this little bit of bait had a little program within it, one that allowed us to access their systems. Say you used this back door to get the evidence we need. Well, now, that would be hard to ignore.
Objective ID
808,746,220
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Darila
Dialogue
Why us? This sounds like a job for the authorities.
Objective ID
808,746,220
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Detective O'Malley
Dialogue
If the evidence is obtained illegally, it will not be admissible. I already told you these guys are slippery. We need this case to be airtight.

Tomothy
Dialogue
Fine. Independent, can you create something like the detective is talking about?

Dialogue
Can I create a Trojan horse? Certainly.
