So you’re back, Independent! Great news for me – no need to send Orions after my cargo, y’know.

Thanks to your tip, we have found what we needed. As promised, the rest of the cargo is beamed to you. There are many curious arms there.

Great, great! Now, to find where I can hide all those treasures… But that’s none of your business, Independent, y’know. Godspeed!

The cargo vessel is disabled. This ship has all sorts of decommissioned weaponry, including older versions of torpedoes, like photonic ones. We are in luck.

While the Shipyard is busy constructing our prototype, we should return to Shran and report on our progress.

Everyone wants something, and as long as you can carry that, I can sell that, y’know. So, what do you wish to spend your money on today?

We need photonic torpedoes, preferably those made in the 22nd century.

Dialogue
Well, this is a very unexpected request, y’know. Are you some antiquity lover of sorts? I have really old phasers, if you need them: they are from the 21st century and shoot actual physical metal bullets.

But torpedoes… Y’know, I might just sell them to you! I hired Orion thugs to help me get a Federation cargo ship that’s moving old weapons for recycling. A real treat for the collectors!

Those Orions never showed up, and the cargo ship is leaving today. If you’re lucky, there might be your torpedoes in there. Do the Orion’s job, get me the goods to Koras-12, and we’re square.

That cargo ship flies through Eral, a mining system. If you don’t want to get blasted to pieces, it’s best if you hide between those miners, attack from behind. Deal?

This is an excellent opportunity for us, Commander. We should leave now to blend in with the miners on time.

Welcome back, Commander. I’m afraid I must agree that you weren’t lying – the quantum analysis of your data coincided with your words. It’s nice to trust someone from time to time.

We started building it as soon as we acquired the required materials. The hull construction is 16% complete and will progress as we speak. Our next stage is armaments.

Dialogue
The NX-01 wasn’t the most powerful or advanced ship, but she sure knew how to bite. When Archer set out to find the Xindi, the Enterprise just got her new photonic torpedoes.

Dialogue
Those were experimental and relatively unstable, so they used a magnetic isolation field to secure them. But that field really messed with the Xindi shields and proved very effective in battle.

Photonic torpedoes are mostly discontinued in our timeline after better and more effective weaponry was introduced.

Even a dulled dosalnar can poke an enemy to death. Weapons are weapons, Commander – they are never out of business, especially when a war is at your doorstep.

This is a rational observation. There have been reports of a shadowy Ferengi arms trader on Deep Space Nine who could know about available photonic torpedoes. Plotting course.
