A shipment of the finest Romulan Ale was stolen while we refueled on our way to the Romulan ambassador in Archer. The ambassador is not a forgiving man. Nor are we.

What Mariner is trying to say is that we didn’t steal anything!

What’s done is done! Let’s focus on what we’re gonna do next, because I have no intention of being the fall-guy here. Unless you want to end up in the custody of a bunch of unforgiving Romulans?

Ok, look. We’ve been well and truly duped. But at least we got a few bottles of Romulan Ale out of it, right? And a story that will probably be funny in hindsight…

Kevin’s a bit notorious, actually. He has a bad habit of burning bridges. No one in the game really wants to work with him anymore.

Right, right, right. He graduated from Starfleet, then dropped out two weeks into his first commission. He got caught red-handed stealing from some visiting dignitary. Idiot.

When did you last hear from him?

Vasilan
Dialogue
Maybe a week ago? He had some big job on the cards. A hot one. He wanted me for it, but I don’t make the same mistake twice. So I told him to shove it.

Don’t tell me you were stupid enough to get involved with this guy, Mariner…

Fine, I won’t tell you. Where can we find him now? We have some bones to pick.

That’s true. Look, we can help you find Kevin. But you have to promise that no one on the Cerritos will come to harm.
