Independent, Alliance security detail around the shipyard has been dispatched. There should only be a skeleton crew guarding the shipyard now. This is your chance to retrieve the Defiant!

A supply of Dilithium has been transferred to you from our cargo bay. The amount should be adequate to restore warp capability.

You’re just full of surprises, aren’t you? Well, what else can I say, Independent? You’ve convinced me that you’ve been telling the truth all this time.

However, you might have a little bit more work to do before you can be considered an ally of the Resistance. I’m sold on you, but Julian? He’s a harder nut to crack.

Independent, well done on making it back to HQ in one piece. You have no idea what this means to me. Perhaps you were telling the truth this whole time…

But there’s still one more thing to take care of. Those Alliance savages have completely stripped the Dilithium matrix of all Dilithium crystals.

As I’m sure you know, this means that the warp drive is out of commission. My ship’s not going anywhere until we can get our hands on a considerable amount of Dilithium.

I’m afraid that ship’s not going anywhere unless we can get our hands on 500K Dilithium.

Well Independent, I have to say, you’re some story teller… Interphasic rifts. Encounters with the Enterprise-D. Covert operations and infiltrating the very throne room of the Empire itself!

Are you saying that you don’t believe us? What gives you any further reason to doubt us?

Because actions speak louder than words. You should know that. Until you can prove yourself to be an ally to the Resistance, then you’ll be treated with all due suspicion.

Heh, that’s interesting. Because now that you mention it, there is in fact something you can do for us. You see, I’ve lost something very important and dear to me. And I want you to help me get it–

Calm it down, Julian. You’ll give yourself an aneurysm if you’re not careful! The Independent here was just about to agree to running a little errand for us.

The only thing around here that’s going to give me a bloody aneurysm is you! And what makes you think that they’re not just going to go straight back to the Empress with intel on our location and operations?

I’ve spent some time with the Independent. Learned about how they came here, and why they’re still here. I think they can be trusted with taking this job.

Well, before you so rudely interrupted us, yes. This is about the Defiant. You see, Independent, that ship is my baby. The bloody Alliance took it from me, and I want it back.

According to our task force investigating the scene, they believe the Defiant is being stored in a shipyard in the Wolf system, a heavily-guarded hub of Alliance activity.

The stage is set to launch a surprise attack on the shipyard. All you need to do is use the chaos to your advantage and tow the Defiant out of the shipyard while Alliance forces are distracted.

Oh, it’s you again. Smiley said you’d be coming here. I don’t believe that our previous introduction included names. I’m Tarlen. And frankly, I can’t say that I’m too thrilled to see you again.

Tarlen, you must accept our apologies. With Inquisitor Troi on board our ship, we had no choice but to play the part of the Empress’ champion. We never intended to harm you.

Yeah, whatever you say. Look, enough with the pleasantries, let’s just get down to business. Our surveillance has confirmed the presence of the Defiant on a nearby planet.

We’re going to engage Alliance forces and create a distraction. While the Alliance fleet is busy, you’re going to reclaim the ship. It’s not going to be one of our most sophisticated plans, but it’s going to work.
