We’re going to launch a distractionary assault on Khan’s drones in Ceti Alpha. It won’t be enough to anger him into launching Genesis on a Federation target, but it will be enough to distract his forces.

While that happens, you’re to make your way to Ceti Alpha V, confirm the presence of Starfleet prisoners, and extract as many of them as possible. Is that clear?

Commander, the Starfleet prisoners liberated from Ceti Alpha V are safe, thanks to you. One by one, they’re being discharged from sick bay and are providing us with as much intel as they possibly can.

However, there’s been a troubling development. Several members of the Enterprise crew are missing. It would seem that they weren’t present on Ceti Alpha V in the first place.

It is my deep regret to inform you that Admiral Kirk has been taken by Khan. He means to stage a public execution and use the Admiral’s death as a show of force against the Federation.

Approximately fifty-three hours ago. Do not fret, Dr. Marcus. There may still be time for us to act. News of such an event would surely have reached Starbase 12 by now, should it have come to pass.

There is still one matter that requires further clarification. How has Khan managed to fend off all of the major powers in this sector? The Federation, the Klingons and the Romulans have all lost ships to him.

That would be thanks to Genesis… Which means that, as much as it pains me to say, I too have had a hand in Khan’s rise to power.

Genesis was the culmination of my life’s work. Its purpose was to alleviate issues such as overpopulation and hunger by allowing us to convert any barren planetoid into a habitable M-Class planet.

However, in the wrong hands, Genesis could become a weapon of mass destruction capable of eradicating life on a global scale.

When Khan defeated the Enterprise, one of the first things he did was lay in a course for Regula I, where Genesis was being developed. He stole all research pertaining to Genesis, including its prototype.

We fought back as hard as we could. But it wasn’t long until they took Regula I. My son, David, was badly hurt in the struggle, and is now recovering at a Starfleet hospital. We lost Regula I, and we lost Genesis.

With Genesis in his possession, Khan used it as a deterrent. All of the major powers tried to fight back, but the risk was too great. None were willing to endanger entire planets in their territory.

That’s why Khan’s power has been allowed to grow unchecked, and that’s why we’re here. Starfleet has given no authorization to our operation, but I refuse to allow our efforts to be in vain.

That brings us to the here and now. If we’re going to take on Khan, we need to start by securing our people. We need to launch a rescue operation to Ceti Alpha V in order to exfil Khan’s prisoners.

If you’re willing to stand and fight with us, we’ll be glad to have you. According to our intel, Starfleet prisoners are being held deep within the Ceti Alpha system. That’s where you’ll be needed.

Captain Raimi is amassing a fleet on the periphery of Ceti Alpha. While the Augments are busy, I want you to retrieve as many prisoners from Ceti Alpha V as possible. Now, get going. There’s not much time.
