Commander, other Klingon vessels in the system have altered course from their patrol routes and have engaged an intercept vector with our ship. We are being considered as an actively hostile combatant.

I’m not surprised, considering the beating taken by the last fool who crossed you. Better put up your dukes, Independent. It looks like this is about to get messy.

Commander, our scans have detected seventy-four Klingon vessels within the system’s limits. Sensors have also detected trilithium signatures within the theta-band.

The suspicions voiced by the Enterprise crew may in fact yield some merit. The Klingons are conducting test-fires of a trilithium-based weapon in this system.

Might I remind you that when it comes to the Klingons, surrender is not an option. If you lower those shields, then you may as well just go ahead and initiate a self-destruct sequence.

Independent, your humble guest requests an update regarding our next course of action. It’s been weeks since my son brought back that madman Soran from beyond the veil. Who knows what they’re doing!?

Your patience would be appreciated, Q. Long-range sensors and subspace scans have detected no trace of Soran or your son. Our only option is to await an update from the Enterprise.

The nerve! If you recall, my dear Commander Riker, I was willing to sacrifice my mortal life in order to protect yours. And this is the thanks I get? I’ll remember this the next time you’re in grave peril.

I’m sure you will, Q. But let’s focus on the issue at hand, shall we? Our search for Soran and Junior hasn’t been as fruitful as we initially hoped, but we may have a lead that could help us find them.

Before we could apprehend Soran back in Klingon territory, we were pushed back by ships belonging to the House of Duras. They were able to force us into retreat, but not before we placed a tracker on them.

Long-range scans have routinely picked up ships from the Duras fleet coming and going from a system in Independent space. These scans have also detected traces of trilithium onboard their vessels.

Riker
Dialogue
Trilithium is a highly dangerous compound that, if applied correctly, retains the capability of destroying entire star systems. We believe that these ships have been busy acquiring trilithium reserves for Soran.

Q

This is beginning to sound uncomfortably familiar…

Riker
Dialogue
As it should. If Soran is seeking a source of trilithium and is also using it to perform test-fires in Independent space, then he may be attempting to rebuild his trilithium-based weapon.

Riker
Dialogue
We can’t let that happen. Independent, I’d like you to investigate the source of these tests. Your vessel should draw less attention than the Enterprise.

We believe that these tests may be occurring in the Earokij system. We’ll keep watch over your Station while you’re gone. Riker out.

Finally, a lead! Lay in a course, mon commandant. I’d rather the Q Continuum kept my powers forever over the thought of spending another moment languishing in the halls of this rust bucket.

This operation has been a failure, Independent. As loath as I am to request such a thing, we should return to your Station and attempt to devise an alternative course of action.
