Ah, Commander, just the very person I wanted to see. Welcome back. There’s been a recent development that myself and Maia wanted to discuss with you.

Dialogue
The process of unraveling and understanding Maia’s codebase has hit a snag. Frankly, it’s a mess of spaghetti code, but it’s somewhat readable.

Dialogue
There are definitely hidden functions contained within Maia’s codebase. But they’re currently encrypted with no way for me to access and activate them.
Objective ID

Phase

Maia
Dialogue
Montgomery’s assessment is correct. In order to decrypt these locked functions, we will require a decryption key that is not currently in our possession.

Dialogue
If my logs are correct, we must find a Progenitor Sphere and extract its data core. Seeing as the Spheres travel via rifts, we should be able to acquire a valid decryption key from one.

We’ve been conducting intermittent long-range subspace scans while you were gone. The timing of your return couldn’t be more fortunate – it would seem that we’ve found one.

Dialogue
My scans have detected a signal in Arcadion that is a match for previous Progenitor Spheres we have encountered. This may be our chance to acquire a decryption key from its data core.

This is the most promising development in weeks. We can’t afford to let it pass us by. Take Mr. Scott and Maia with you, Commander. This may be the answer we’ve been looking for.

I have programmed the Sphere’s navigation system to move to a remote set of coordinates. But we should move a certain distance away from the blast radius to be safe.

What about the data core, lass? Were you able to extract the decryption key?
Objective ID

Dialogue
I have made a full backup of the data core’s contents. I should be able to extract a copy of the decryption key from this.

Excellent work! Well let’s get moving, Commander.

I have acquired visual confirmation of the Progenitor Sphere. Initial scans are showing that the Sphere is currently inert. It may have entered dormancy after arriving here.

Dialogue
Bloody hell, would you look at that thing. I’ve never seen anything like it. Are there any lifesigns on board?
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Negative. Scans do not detect any lifesigns on board the Sphere.

Then it looks like it’s time to act, we need the decryption key stored on that data core. Well, go ahead lass, do your thing!

I will interface with the Sphere’s systems and attempt to bypass security protocols. Standby.

… Did that thing just say what I think it said? What are we going to do!?

Dialogue
There is only one thing we can do. Montgomery, prepare a cache of Dilithium in the transporter. I will beam the contents directly into the ionization chamber of the Sphere’s warp drive.

I should be able to remotely program the ship’s navigation systems and divert it to an isolated area of the system.

Consider it done. How much do you need?
Objective ID

75,000 units of Dilithium should be sufficient.

Extraordinary… This data core. I’ve never seen anything like it. Such sophisticated technology. It’s a wonder that my counterpart was ever able to work so closely with it.

And yet here you find yourself doing the same thing, Mr. Scott. Perhaps you and your counterpart from this timeline aren’t so different from each other.

Dialogue
Montgomery, please prepare the data core for interfacing. I should be able to extract the decryption key and unlock my restricted protocols.

Dialogue
Aye, lass. But say we do unlock these protocols – what then?

Our first step will be to establish contact with the USS Enterprise of this timeline and ensure that it is safe to send anything through an open rift.

I will send a shuttle broadcasting a transmission, requesting the Enterprise to return to the coordinates that it arrived at in your timeline, and to expect to see another gateway soon.

Dialogue
We will do the same with your vessel here and I attempt to use my unlocked protocols to open a rift and reverse the quantum entanglement.

But what about the planet killer? We can’t leave you without knowing it’s been taken care of.
Objective ID

Dialogue
There is no way to know if I can open a rift large enough to expel the planet killer without first testing this theory.

If we can validate the functionality and safety of this method of travel, then we will have the answer we have been looking for.

Long-range scans confirm that the Sphere has self-destructed. The blast radius was not as intense as anticipated.

Well, I still don’t want to hang around here any longer than necessary. Who knows if that Sphere called for reinforcements? Let’s get back to the Station.
