Commander, we have intercepted an encrypted transmission.

After processing the transmission through several decryption protocols, it appears to contain a set of coordinates that lie within the Clara system.

Although we cannot confirm the identity of the one who sent this transmission, I would cautiously advise that we investigate.

Commander, my scans detect that a nearby shuttle is being attacked by an Orion vessel.

You will cease your assault on this unarmed shuttle. We have reason to believe that we have business with its crew.

So you want to do this the hard way? Fair enough, I could do with the resources I’ll get for the parts of your ship.

The Orion has altered course and has engaged an intercept vector with our ship. Red alert!

Target eliminated. Scans of the shuttle confirm that it has sustained minimal hull damage. The timing of our arrival was fortunate. Attempting to hail the shuttle now.

We’ve been waiting for you, Independent. You have our gratitude for arriving when you did. I wish we could have conducted this meeting under safer circumstances, but discretion is paramount.

Dialogue
My name is Lewis. My team and I noticed your presence on the surface of Andoreth – your ship was picked up on our subspace scans.

Dialogue
The Baelosian colony on Andoreth has been abandoned, Lewis. Left to die. What is your involvement with this matter? They must be helped at once.

Lewis

I know, I know. We want to help them. And we want you to help us.

Dialogue
These sick Baelosians are suffering from the effects of failed courses of gene therapy research. My team and I are unfortunately responsible for their current state.

Lewis
Dialogue
Agent Holloway – she’s sadistic. She hand-picked my team and I from different Federation medical facilities, with the promise that we were going to make a difference. To make the Federation stronger.
Objective ID
239,079,623
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lewis
Dialogue
Now we know what she wants. Holloway sees the Baelosians as nothing more than puppets. She made us force them to undergo gene therapy experimentation, to make them stronger and more intelligent.
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lewis
Dialogue
The Baelosian’s recent advancements are no mere natural wonder or marvel. They are entirely under the control of Section 31. They do and say what Holloway tells them.
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lewis
Dialogue
By the time we learned of Holloway’s true intentions, we were already in too deep. She forced us to cooperate by threatening to reveal our involvement to the Federation and deny all involvement herself.
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
It would appear that blackmail is Agent Holloway’s modus operandi – we too have been forced to cooperate with Section 31. This must be stopped. How can we help?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Lewis
Dialogue
Escort us to Andoreth. I want to make sure the colony receives adequate medical attention and aftercare. We could never risk approaching alone, but you, you can help us get there.

Thank you, Commander. Your generosity has made this possible.

Dialogue
It’s almost time to get to work. But we’re still going to need some necessary equipment.

Dialogue
How… How could we have done this?
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
Lewis, is this safe? Will Section 31 not be aware of your presence among the colony?
Objective ID
460,011,970
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lewis
Dialogue
No, now that we’re on the ground, we should be safe. Section 31 has completely washed their hands of this planet. They have no more need to return.
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
Are you saying that the gene therapy research was successful? That the Baelosians are under their control?
Objective ID

Phase

Lewis
Dialogue
Unfortunately, yes. But it’s not too late. We can reverse this. I’m sure we can.
Objective ID

Lewis
Dialogue
But for now, we need to fabricate an adequate facility to work with the colony and start reversing the effects of the gene therapy.

If we had 7B Parsteel, that would be enough to get the job done.
