Talut, are you sure?

I have never been more sure of anything, Commander. This sorry excuse for a man had me coordinate the evacuation of our ship once the Borg boarded.

Talut
Dialogue
And I did. I made sure everyone got off. But when it was my turn, there were no escape pods left. I waited on the bridge with nothing but a phaser, knowing that I was facing oblivion.

I did not go down without a fight. I took some of them with me. But eventually… You know how this story ends.

Character
Talut
Dialogue
He knew, Commander. Rojun knew there weren’t enough pods, that somebody had to stay behind. And he decided that I was acceptable collateral damage.

Now he must pay for that mistake.

You have come through for us as usual, Commander. Talut, I’m glad you decided to join us!

I see. Then let’s introduce you to everyone. Elijah, will you show our visitor around?

Dialogue
With pleasure! This way, Talut. Most people are in the mess hall for lunch. They’ll be delighted to meet you. We have 32 members now, and more joining all the time…

How can you be so sure?

Phase

Character
Phara
Dialogue
For one thing, we have never had an Ex-Borg visit that didn’t end up becoming a part of our family. Talut’s solitude was a necessity before. Now it’s a choice. And I don’t think he’ll choose to be alone.

Thank you for helping me with this, Commander. I appreciate it, and I’m sure Talut will, too.

You left me, Rojun. You knew there weren’t enough escape pods for everyone, and I was acceptable collateral damage. You condemned me!

Character
Rojun
Dialogue
Somebody had to coordinate the evacuation, Talut, or we all would have been assimilated. By the time we got the escape pods, the Borg were already swarming the ship. If we had waited for you–

It should have been you who went down with your ship, Commander.

I know. I have thought about that fact every day since. I never forgot about you, Talut.

How noble of you.

I didn’t have any other choice, Talut. Please, forgive me.

You are a pathetic excuse for a Romulan. I will never forgive you. And if our paths should ever again cross, I will kill you.

Hunt you? No. Quite the opposite. We are here to discuss–

I do not wish to discuss anything with you, stranger. And I do not appreciate unwanted interruptions.

Please, hear us out. There is a community in Ch'urux Qorva that you might be interested in meeting. Ex-Borg, like you.

I am not interested. Now, leave me to my solitude.

But–

Begone, or be assimilated!

Commander, he is charging weapons and setting an intercept course. We should disable his weapon systems.

Centurion Talut, is– is that you?

Talut

It is. I daresay you have dreaded the day that we would meet again.

I– I am glad to see you well. Even the Borg could not quench your perseverance.

Talut

See me well? Look at me, Commander. I am not well. I have not been well since you left me on that ship to save yourself.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Talut
Dialogue
I have been shunned and hunted because of you. I am a creature living a half-life, because you chose to sacrifice me to the Borg so the rest of you might escape.

Talut, I am sorry. I–

Character
Talut

It is too late, Rojun. I am here to right a wrong. You should have been assimilated that day. Now you will die at the hand of the one you betrayed.

Talut

Commander, destroy his ship!
Objective ID

dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Do you threaten all of your visitors with assimilation?
Objective ID
368,934,617
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Talut
Dialogue
It is an effective way to scare away the ignorant.
Objective ID
368,934,617
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
And an effective way to perpetuate what is already a problematic and widespread fear of the Ex-Borg.

Talut
Dialogue
People believe what they wish to believe.

We did not come here to fight you, Talut.

Then leave.

We are just asking that you meet with the Ex-Borg. No more.

You are certainly persistent… Very well, Commander. I will consider it, if you can help me with something.

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
And what might that be?
Objective ID

Character
Talut
Dialogue
Set a course for Corvidae, Commander. If you can help me get justice against someone who wronged me, then I will accompany you to Ch'urux Qorva.

Here we are, Commander. This system is quite sparse… But there appears to be a settlement on Masicaa, and a ship in orbit.

We should hail the ship. Perhaps it is the Ex-Borg Phara is looking for.

Was it worth it?
Objective ID

Rojun deserved to die for what he did to me. I do not feel regret. All I feel is… empty.

Greetings, Phara.

Phara
Dialogue
I wonder if I can ask you a favor. We’ve heard reports of an Ex-Borg living in reclusion in Romulan space. Talut is his name. We thought maybe we could convince him to come join us here.

Think you can use your powers of persuasion to help us out?

We can certainly try. Where is this Ex-Borg located?

He’s in Tolain. Good luck!

Talut
Dialogue
Rojun deserves to die, Commander. He took everything from me.
Objective ID

Killing him will achieve nothing, Talut. Revenge is an empty promise.

Talut
Dialogue
Qazh! Then let us at least scare him, Commander. Disable his ship. Leave him stranded here with no friends to turn to. Let him feel what it is to be entirely alone!
