Did Weth send you!? Answer me before I rend your hull to dust!

We are here to investigate the assault on a mining vessel. Weth claims your colony is responsible.

That p’tahk is a liar and a simpleton! We never attacked any of his ships and he challenges my honor by insisting otherwise!

Dialogue
Mark my words, Independent, we will not suffer his people forcing us out of that mining field. If he thinks he will hold it forever, he is sorely mistaken.

Commander, Weth did not mention any mining field. We should return to him.

No. We spoke to him. He mentioned that you had taken control of the mining field since the incident. Is this true?

What? Why would I care about the damned mining field when my honor as a leader is at stake?

Interesting. Commander, I believe there is something sinister at play. We should investigate the mining field.

Klingon wreckage. It appears to be a mining vessel, just as Weth said. Scans show that it was destroyed by kinetic weapons, similar to that found on a Klingon D3 class.

Something does not seem right about this. There are scorch marks on the cargo hold. If this was a robbery, why would they risk destroying the cargo?

We should speak with the colony accused of this attack. Perhaps that will shed more light on our investigation.

It appears that Weth was telling the truth. I am not picking up any Klingon signatures within the mining field. But why would Achid think otherwise…

Wait. I am picking up a transmission. It is Klingon. Allow me to patch it through.

Do you hear me, you cowards? This field belongs to me now! Take it from me, if you’ve got the mettle!

That appears to be Weth, but there is something… off. Give me a moment…

Commander, this transmission is a forgery. Someone has taken Weth’s likeness and created a false message. Someone with a vested interest in holding this field.

So you’ve finally caught on. I thought I’d be able to keep those idiots at each other’s throats for another little while, but you had to go and ruin that.

I don’t think so. All I have to do is kill you and I’ll get out of this clean.

You’re wandering into a warzone, Independent p’tahk! You should turn back, before you lose your head.

Some cowardly dogs in this system decided to betray us. They hit some of our mining vessels and stole our Dilithium! Fear not, though. Soon, we will make examples of those honorless curs!

Indeed. The fools decided to break the laws of the Empire, and for what? Some measly dilithium crystals.

You’re telling me that Achid had nothing to do with this!? That it was all the work of some Nausicaan thief?

The Dilithium thief has been dealt with, Commander. We should return to Weth and inform him of the deception.
