We are here, Q. What is it that you require of us this time?

Q
Dialogue
Careful now, Maia. I don’t quite like your tone. I could easily reduce you to nothing more than a pocket calculator.

Besides, what I want shouldn’t be too troublesome.

And what is that?

Well, I’m hungry. And what I’m really in the mood for is a freshly baked Andorian baguette.

So go get me one!

I believe we have some aboard…

Q
Dialogue
No, no, no. It has to be from Andoria. Anything else is just subpar.

And I don’t do subpar.

Now run along. It should be morning on Andoria by the time you get there, and the bakeries in full swing.

So, Q, was it everything you hoped for?

A tad on the salty side perhaps but otherwise serviceable.

I must say, I’ve been impressed with your willingness to prove how worthy you are of my attention. It bodes very well for our future relationship.

I am sure the Commander is pleased to hear it.

I should hope so, Komandanto. Well, all of this just proves once again how right I was to focus my divine gaze upon your good self.

So that was more complicated than it needed to be.

You will be pleased to know the baguette is still intact.

Yep, that was top of my list of worries. Come on, let’s get this thing back to Q. I hope he appreciates it.

He does not seem to be a creature given to express much in the way of appreciation.

Well done, Narian. You managed to get the very last one! I’m sure Q will be very pleased… Wait, we are being hailed by an Orion vessel.

My boss sent me out for a Rondel’s baguette and if I don’t come back with a Rondel’s baguette, I’m dead. So, transport it over. Now!

I apologize, Commander, but Q is back.

He demands we attend him in his Court immediately. It is doubtless better to humor him.

We have arrived in the Andorian system. I suppose we can just drop in anywhere they sell these baguettes.

I doubt anything is that simple with Q. He’ll want the very best Andoria has to offer.

Do you know where we can find the best Andorian baguettes?

No, but I know someone who probably does. Let’s pay a visit to my old pal Ekybol.

Ekybol! It’s nice to see you again!

Narian! It’s been a while. To what do I owe the pleasure of your company after so long?
Objective ID

Actually, we’re looking to pick up the best baguette in Andoria, but honestly we have no idea where to start.

Ekybol
Dialogue
The best baguette in Andoria? That’s easy! You need to pay a visit to Rondel’s. Everyone in the entire system agrees, Rondel’s Bakery is the taste of Andoria!

Alright, thanks Ekybol. Rondel’s it is.
