I remember your ship now. You were guarding that Transogen miner! What are you, the Federation’s attack dog?

Here, Independent, meet the Zessim’s squad. They joined our cell a few months ago. Very good at hunting Transogen miners.

What, you wanna feed on whatever scraps Dekar leaves us? Or keep doing all those Romulan shenanigans, trying to undermine the Federation? We have a chance to rule the Quadrant!

Excuse us. We will make ourselves useful to the Aggregation as much as possible.

Good. Now, Dekar, head to our research center immediately – the “Core” needs the latest research data.

Yes, boss. Will head there right away, but perhaps it would be better if you presented our research?

Do you dare to doubt my orders?! Just like I thought. Do what I tell you, Dekar. I have my own mission after I replenish our Transogen reserves.

Sorry, boss, of course. This recruit has just brought some Transogen taken from the Federation storage facility.

A pleasant update. Keep it up, recruit, and we will bring the Federation down to its knees, where it belongs. Now, do what you were ordered. Same goes to you, Dekar!

Nero is responsible for the major inflection point in the timeline of our galaxy. He brought the Narada through a temporal vortex in pursuit of Ambassador Spock, and died avenging Romulus.

However, this cannot be the same man… Our scanners detect a massive chroniton flux. This version of Nero does not belong to this time or space.

Character
Maia
Dialogue
This Nero also mentioned the “Core” – it could refer to the real leader of the Aggregation. We must figure out who they are, or, at least, how to contact them.

Stirga, where is the research center Nero mentioned? I need to ask Dekar a few questions.

Ask him questions? After he promised to annihilate me? What makes you think he won’t fry you on the spot?

His boss, Nero, seems to favor me, and you have been of great help to us. Dekar would not dare to attack us in light of our recent success.

Smartass. I think Nero meant the lab in Thama – or, at least, that’s where most things happen. Follow me. I know this sector like the cracks of my skin.

We must get closer to Nero, find out what he is, where he comes from, and what his weaknesses are.

Ain’t nobody closer to Nero than Dekar. And if we manage to make him turn on the Romulan… We might actually win.

Okay, that’s enough. I was wrong.

They told you that from the start. You should’ve listened, Zessim.

Zessim
Dialogue
We will join you in your seemingly suicidal folly, but not for free. You’ve messed up my squad, and we won’t be of much help with our ships down. So, you give us resources to recover, we grant you guns.

Dekar
Dialogue
What are you doing here? At ease, Independent, you have done enough for the day. And do me a favor – keep Stirga out of my sight, or I will not restrain myself from getting rid of her.
Objective ID

Phase

Maia
Dialogue
There are some questions that we have, especially after meeting the leader, Nero. What do you know about him? And who is the “Core” he mentioned?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Dekar
Dialogue
Curiosity killed the Orion slave, Independent. Get out of here now, and never talk about the “Core”. Only Nero knows about them, and our job is to comply with their requests.

Do not make me blast both of you. Leave!
Objective ID

Character
Stirga
Dialogue
I expected as much from this brute. Dekar reveres Nero and hates him. He wants to take his place but fawns over him, expecting an opportunity. He’ll never get it. But… We can.

What do you imply?
Objective ID

Dialogue
The real leaders love power. We’ll get to the “Core” ourselves by throwing Nero off his tall chair.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
That will require a lot of firepower – more than both of our starships. Additionally, Nero has a hold of Dekar, who controls this cell’s operations. We need a small army, to say the least.

Phase

Character
Stirga
Dialogue
I have some Suliban friends who’d be eager to lend you a phaser. Maybe, we’ll have to do some convincing and bribing, but it’ll be worth it. Follow me, Independent.
