Ensign Tilly, how are your studies of the defense grid proceeding?

Commander, you’re back! I think I might have cracked it. Uhm, well, figuratively cracked it. We might need your help again with something…

If you can lay the consignment of 240 G2 Raw Ore aside, I’ll have my people take care of it at once.

Thank you for coming, Independent. I wasn’t expecting you to bring company, however. And you are…?

Sylvia Tilly, ma’am. I specialized in theoretical engineering back in college. From what I’ve heard, I may be able to help you stabilize the defense array’s shield projection.

Well now, that is some welcome news! Independent, now that your friend here is with us, I think you may be able to help in a different manner.

It’s going to take some time to show young Tilly here around the array’s configuration. In the meantime, we would be hugely grateful if you could help us gather some necessary resources?

Our task here is to ensure Ensign Tilly’s safety and continued success. If the opportunity arises to assist, we are obliged to answer. What resources are required?

Dialogue
Well then you’re just the person I need. Firstly, we’re going to need a significant consignment of Parsteel in order to help construct any additional modules for the array that may be required.

If you can spare 20,000 Parsteel, then we should have enough to continue with the upgrade.

Greetings, Independent. I trust that I find you well today. It’s good to finally speak with the one I’ve heard so much about.

My name is Katherine. I oversee a research expedition on the surface of Apcor, where we are conducting research into developing and cultivating new types of sustainable crops.

Recently, our colony has come under attack from hordes of local marauders. I don’t know who they are or what they want, but I can’t sit back and allow this to happen.

Dialogue
We are developing a defense array that should theoretically be able to generate a shield around the perimeter of our site. But the array is not providing adequate coverage of the site.

I understand you are in possession of an advanced A.I. I was hoping you could revise our blueprints and help us observe the flaws in our design.

Uhm, Commander? I’m sorry for eavesdropping. I mean, I wasn’t eavesdropping, I just happened to overhear your conversation and, well…

I think I might be able to help. I’ve been cooped up on the decks of the Discovery long enough. It’s time I made myself useful.

Ensign Tilly, this is highly unorthodox…

Please, sir. From what Katherine has told the Commander here about the defense array, I may be able to diagnose the problem.

If you insist. However, it may be advisable to remain incognito for the duration of this endeavor. I would advise that young Tilly don civilian garb and downplay her involvement with Starfleet.

Perfect! I’ll have my people move the consignment to our warehouses as soon as possible. This is going to be a huge help. But we’ve only just started.

Next, we’re going to need a consignment of G2 Raw Ore. Our mining fleet is currently dispatched to gather Tritanium reserves, so I’m afraid the task falls on you, Independent.

Dialogue
If you can mine 240 G2 Raw Ore from nearby systems, you will help us expedite this process of resource gathering and allow us to get to work on the defense array before those thugs come back.

It’s alright, Commander. I’ll be fine here. While you’re gone, I’m going to continue studying the defense array configuration.

Dialogue
With this current setup, the modulation of the array’s projection field just isn’t enough to provide adequate coverage or protection from an orbital strike. I know I can make this better.

But before you go, I just wanted to say, well – thank you for believing in me. I know that I can help these people. It’s just nice to know that someone else has that faith in me too.

Commander, we have acquired an adequate supply of G2 Raw Ore. We should return to the colony with this consignment and check in on Ensign Tilly.
