Dialogue

Mission dialogue

Objective ID: 1,239,216,541
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Sela has taken this abandoned mining station as her personal base of operations. She believes I do not know of its existence.

Objective ID: 1,239,216,541
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Remain here while I access the station’s logs.

Objective ID: 1,239,216,541
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: I am reading a ship signature nearby. It is approaching, on an intercept course.

Objective ID: 1,239,216,541
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Hmm. It appears to be some kind of automated security. Dispatch it, quickly.

Objective ID: 3,802,484
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Commander, we are receiving an encrypted transmission from an unknown source. Patching it through now…

Objective ID: 3,802,484
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mysterious Figure
Dialogue: Sela is not what she appears to be. Her obsessions go far beyond what you have seen. She is dangerous, a threat to not only you and I, but to the entire Romulan Empire.

Objective ID: 3,802,484
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Mysterious Figure
Dialogue: Meet with me in the Beta Niobe system, and all will be made clear.

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Commander, I am glad that you came.

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Tomalak? You are the one who contacted us?

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Indeed. I apologize for the secrecy, but I could not risk Sela discovering my… concerns. I am sure that she is monitoring my communications.

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: To put it simply, Sela has gone mad. Her obsession with this hybrid has become… frightening to behold.

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Do you believe you are in danger?

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Should Sela’s paranoia be allowed to fester, I believe we will all be in danger. However, I have a plan. I am sure that Sela has been performing illegal experiments.

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: If I can find evidence of her improprieties, I can have her removed from command.

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: You would be so quick to turn in your own ally?

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: You are dealing with Romulans now, Commander. If you are not willing to betray your closest allies, you will not survive a week.

Objective ID: 392,096,745
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: If you would accompany me to Sela’s base of operations, we may be able to find something useful.

Objective ID: 59,176,915
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Maia
Dialogue: It appears that our mission has failed, Tomalak. We did not find anything of value.

Objective ID: 59,176,915
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: On the contrary, our mission is just beginning. Sela is my protege, and one of the Tal Shiar’s finest agents. I would have been quite disappointed had I simply stumbled upon incriminating evidence.

Objective ID: 59,176,915
Phase: dialogue_end
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: No, this is not over yet. In fact, the game is just beginning.

Objective ID: 59,176,915
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Excellent. Should Sela wish to investigate the destruction of her automated security, she will be led here.

Objective ID: 59,176,915
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: What will become of the pirates?

Objective ID: 59,176,915
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Well, suffice it to say that they will not be missed. Come, Commander, we should return to your Station.

Objective ID: 596,852,848
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Well done, Commander. I am not detecting any external alarms. I believe we are safe.

Objective ID: 596,852,848
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Maia
Dialogue: Did you get what you needed from Sela’s logs?

Objective ID: 596,852,848
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Yes and no. I have found references to a project, but no details as to what it might entail. We will have to dig deeper into Sela’s operations, I am afraid.

Objective ID: 596,852,848
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: First and foremost, however, is the predicament of this security vessel. Sela will surely notice its absence…

Objective ID: 596,852,848
Phase: dialogue_start
Character: Senator Tomalak
Dialogue: Ah, galactic records suggest that there is a pirate hideout nearby. Perfect scapegoats. Bring us there, Commander.
