Commander, I believe that I understand the notes left by my predecessor. This subspace network holds the key to my campaign. The key to Arkonian superiority and dominance.

I’ve been so short sighted. So… restricted in my ambitions. Why limit expansion to one universe? Why not all of them?

Stand with me, Commander. Together, we will develop and retain the knowledge to traverse the permutations of reality itself and claim what is rightfully ours!

Commander, I am detecting unusual readings from T’Lonu’s station. Several Arkonian signatures have been identified in the vicinity. Attempting to hail them now.

Oh, don’t worry about her. She won’t be bothering us anymore. You may now consider this installation, and everything it entails, under my ownership.

You were too late, Independent. However, there’s no reason for us to be enemies. Return to your Station. Once I have had time to acquaint myself with the workings of this installation, I’ll be in touch.

Scratch one bogey, Commander! But there’s more where that came from. Keep it up!

Wait… Something’s wrong. I’m getting some strange readings from the subspace relay. This… no, this can’t be right.

Montgomery, what appears to be the issue?

It’s just… The readings suggest that other closed networks have become active independent of our own. Hundreds of networks with thousands of potential nodes in each one. I… I don’t understand…

Look, you’ve got your hands full right now. Leave this to me. You just keep those Arkonians away!

Montgomery, status report. What else have you been able to interpret from the system output?

More closed networks have been detected by the relay, Commander. It’s like they’re multiplying by the minute!

Commander, I think I’ve cracked it! By comparing the structure and composition of multiple unidentified networks with our own, I’ve come to a startling conclusion.

Character

Dialogue
They’re all one and the same! The structure of each network framework is identical. The only thing that differentiates each closed network is the composition of nodes contained within each network.

Don’t you see what this means? No? Right, let me simplify it…

Imagine our closed local network exists on a layer of the wider Progenitor subspace network. We’ll say that the local network represents our known reality. With me so far? Good.

Now, the existence of multiple other closed networks could imply the existence of other, unknown realities! Imagine all of the possible permutations of our known reality, all existing at once.

That’s quite a poetic way of putting it Commander, but yes! I suppose that the basis of Vulcan philosophy would be a good way to look at it.

Commander, you’re going to love this one. I’ve just been delving further into Maia’s codebase, and I may have found a hidden method that presents further implications.

If my theory is correct, and it usually is, then the Progenitors didn’t just use the subspace network to send information – they used it to travel between universes!

Could you imagine it, Commander? The ability to peer into other universes and realities, even visit them! Imagine what we could accomplish!

I’ve created a summary of this discovery and transmitted it to T’Lonu’s station. I wonder if she’s received it yet…

Dialogue
Eh, I don’t want to alarm you, Commander. However, it would seem that a distress call from T’Lonu was received during the fray with the Arkonians. Her station may have been compromised.

The Arkonians must have attacked her too. Commander, we must rush to her aid. We cannot allow them access to the relay or T’Lonu’s studies.

Alright, I’m back. Thanks for keeping the front light on, Commander. Now, let’s just see how things are going here…

Ah yes, the Station is directly benefiting from the extra computational power and processing output from Commander T’Lonu’s installation. This is a marvel to behold, I’ve never seen anything like it!

Most certainly not. It would appear that Khala’r has found our station.

Considering the fact that a number of them have locked targets on our defense platforms, I would say no.
