The mining field is up ahead, Captain. Scans show intensive Dilithium mining, as well as four guard ships patrolling the perimeter.

What an opportune time for a visit, Starfleet. We could use your firepower.

Incoming Schrak vessels. They want to claim this mining field for their own and will resort to force like the brutes that they are. But now Starfleet is here to protect us. Right?

The functionaries, the officials Starfleet said they were sending. Hopefully, you’re a bit sharper than the others.

The others – Starfleet’s previous attempts to solve the mining field dispute.

Giloin
Dialogue
Yes. I told them that nothing happens around here without the proper paperwork. Filing it seemed beyond their capabilities.
Objective ID

Character
Pike
Dialogue
Well, if it’s just a little paperwork, then I’m sure we can manage.
Objective ID

Giloin

Indeed?

…Well? Give us the forms and we’ll get to it.

Giloin
Dialogue
Am I to keep track of every form that must be filled out throughout Egoni territory? Do not be ridiculous, Captain.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Pike
Dialogue
Of course, it couldn’t be that easy. Can you tell us where to find the proper paperwork, then?
Objective ID
189,464,428
Phase

Character
Giloin
Dialogue
Again, that would be outside of my duties. You might, however, find it prudent to speak to whoever is in charge of the mining field.

…Fine. Thank you for your help.

Commander! Nice of you to join us. I thought you might be interested in our work here today. We likely have a new M-Class planet on our hands here. Ever discovered a habitable planet?

I do not understand. Do you require our assistance?

Think of it as a little thank you for all the scrapes you’ve helped us out of.

A thank you? We were under the impression that you were in some sort of danger, Captain.

Come on, Commander. Must we always meet under dire circumstances? This right here is what it’s all about. Discovery and exploration, new frontiers, and such.

Now, go ahead and conduct the initial scan. Be the one to uncover this new world!

As you said, Captain. A Menshara Class planet with a breathable atmosphere. 76% nitrogen, 23% oxygen, and other trace gases.

Oxygen-rich – I’d be interested in studying the flora and fauna in more detail. I’m sure Lieutenant Spock would–

Sorry to interrupt, Captain, but we have an incoming transmission from Starfleet Command.

Captain Pike. I hope I’m not intruding on anything.

Pike
Dialogue
Actually, we’re doing some exploratory scans on a newly discovered planet, Admiral.
Objective ID
718,930,485
Phase

Character
Starfleet Admiral
Dialogue
Nothing too pressing, then. Your diplomacy skills are needed in the Thama system. There is an ongoing dispute over a mining field that has proven somewhat difficult to resolve.
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Pike
Dialogue
Admiral, this is a science vessel that has been doing very little in the way of science recently. Is there anyone else who can mediate this dispute?

Phase

Character
Starfleet Admiral
Dialogue
We have already had a few failed attempts, Captain. The Egoni are a… singular culture, but we are optimistic that you’ll be the one to solve this.

…Fine. We’ll do our best. Anything else?

Starfleet Admiral
Dialogue
The liaison in Januu has been advised of your visit. Talk to him to get the ball rolling. Get this done quickly, Pike. And try not to get tangled up in all the red tape.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Pike
Dialogue
Well, alright then. Lay in a course, Ortegas. We have a dispute to mediate. And Commander, I’d like you to join us. You’re a dab hand at diplomacy yourself, and this planet isn’t going anywhere.
