Commander, one of Tilly’s followers is outside. They know you are harboring Kai.

Kai Sinnis
Dialogue
I’m not going out there. Get rid of the follower.

Dialogue
We will confront the follower, but a decision will have to be made, Kai. Stay in here, Burnham. Tilly cannot know you are here.

The follower has been defeated. But you will both need to leave here. Kai, get somewhere safe. Burnham, ensure Tilly that you are still hunting Kai

Understood. Hopefully the hunt for Kai will distract Tilly enough so that we can launch our attack.

He will not be joining you. Shields are up, Commander. Ready to fire.

Convince Kai to join Tilly?

Dialogue
We cannot make you join Tilly. It would be dangerous and unfair.

Kai Sinnis
Dialogue
That’s what I’ve been saying this whole time.

Dialogue
You’re probably right, Commander. If we force Kai into that situation, we’re not better than Tilly.

Dialogue
We will have to deal with the follower outside, however. Stay here.

Dialogue
Both Kai and Burnham are under Tilly’s rule. And knowing Tilly, she could turn on them in an instant.

The time has come to stop her.

The mercenary. Have you finally seen the light?

Dialogue
I figured that resisting any longer wouldn’t bode well for me. So I am one of you now.

The Empress will be pleased. Independent, you are safe, for now.

Tilly and her followers will attack us if Kai does not go with them.

Dialogue
I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to. But our plan could be in trouble without your help here, Kai.

Character
Kai Sinnis
Dialogue
Look, I will go with Tilly if you both want me to. But if things go sideways, I’m getting out of there as fast as possible to save myself. So what do you think, Commander?
Objective ID

Dialogue
If you are smart, you will hand over Sinnis, Independent. Hand him over, and you will be left alone. If not, Tilly will leave you in ruins.

Dialogue
That does not sound like an empty threat. We should speak to Kai one last time, and see if we can convince him to join Tilly until we are ready to enact our plan.

Dialogue
We think you should go with Tilly, Kai. We will enact our plan as quickly as possible, and Burnham will surely do her best to protect you in the meantime.

Fine. When I know it’s safe to do so, I’ll turn on Tilly. Just don’t wait long before you attack her.

We will escort you to meet her follower, to ensure they do not attack you.

I’ll get back to Tilly and let her know Kai is coming. Hopefully she’ll give me credit and I can earn more trust.
