Character
Maia
Dialogue
We have been transported to another universe. There are distinct differences in background radiation, and the only transmissions I can intercept are in binary.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
What’s the game plan here? Why have we been transported here? Every time Lorca does something that doesn’t kill us, there must be a reason for it. Why send us to another universe?

I have a theory.

So let’s hear it, Zeta.

Apos Zeta
Dialogue
We are being forced to fly into other dimensions to fight. Lorca is confident we can survive, because that is what he wants, yes?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
The more we live, the more dimensions he can crash us into, the weaker the barriers between universes become. Our journey through the dimensions is damaging the multiverse, thus enabling the Symbiosis.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Zeta is right. In effect, we are doing the manual labor of Lorca’s plan. Hammering at the fabric of reality.
Objective ID
1,177,123,919
Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Then it’s imperative that we get the Dimension Shift Circuit working. That will allow us to traverse the multiverse without causing damage to its fabric.

Masriad
Dialogue
We need to explore our new environment. Maia, set a course for anywhere else in this galaxy. Maybe we can find something to help us find our way back.

Very good, Masriad.

Where are we?

The Alhazar system. Unfortunately, we are not alone.

Unfortunately?
Objective ID
1,196,687,958

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I now know why all the transmissions in this dimension are in binary.

We are the Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.

Oh no…

If you so wish.

Masriad
Dialogue
Wait, what?
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
This is unusual, but my scans detect a massive Borg presence across the entire galaxy, with the main language of communication being binary.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
However, there are a number of non-assimilated lifeforms moving freely amongst the Borg, seemingly at peace.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Borg vessel, is it your intention to assimilate this crew by force?
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Borg
Dialogue
Non-consensual assimilation is not the Borg way. Many choose to join us willingly. The serenity of unity, of single purpose that we offer has proved attractive to most life forms.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Borg
Dialogue
Forcing others to become Borg invalidates the beauty of Borghood.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
And those that do not wish to be assimilated, what happens to them?
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Borg
Dialogue
Nothing. We enjoy a healthy relationship with our external brothers and sisters. Sooner or later, they always decide to join us. The benefits are self-evident.

Is anyone else totally weirded out by this? Friendly Borg? Ambassadors of a happy Collective?
Objective ID

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
I guess everything really is possible in a multiverse.
Objective ID

Dialogue
Multiverse? This explains the peculiar readings we are picking up from our scans of your vessel. You are not from this dimension. What is your business here?
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
We were transported here by a madman. He wants to end the multiverse by causing all the dimensions to collide and merge into one. He calls it the Symbiosis Event.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase

Character
Borg
Dialogue
What would happen to the Borg?
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I do not believe Gabriel Lorca would allow you to survive in whatever strange Utopia he envisages as his ideal realm.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase

Character
Borg
Dialogue
We cannot allow this to happen.
Objective ID

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
We feel the same! We have to find a way to defeat him.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958

Borg
Dialogue
We are sorry, but you misunderstand our intention. The entire Free Collective across the quadrant has been analyzing the problem.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Borg
Dialogue
If you attempt to leave this universe, it is calculated you will further destabilize the multiverse. You do not have the means to safely cross dimensions. You will accelerate the Symbiosis Event.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Borg
Dialogue
You will accelerate our extinction. You are a threat to the Borg. We offer you one chance. Remain in this universe, and you will be permitted to live out the rest of your lives in peace.
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
We can’t do that! Everything ends if we don’t try. Including you!
Objective ID
1,196,687,958
Phase

Character
Borg
Dialogue
Not if the fabric of the multiverse remains stable. We are sorry.

The Borg vessel is charging weapons.

Do not worry. You will not be assimilated.

Did it work?
Objective ID
1,540,245,107
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Yes, we are back in our universe once more. Unfortunately, the slipshod manner of the Circuit’s activation appears to have blown it.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Can it be fixed?
Objective ID
1,540,245,107
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Perhaps. I have seen the device in action. It is possible my observations will translate into workable instructions.
Objective ID
1,540,245,107

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Then get on it. You can bet Lorca knows we’re back.
Objective ID

Dialogue
The Borg vessel has been dealt with. However, more are sure to be on the way. They are all connected. They will know what has happened.
Objective ID

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Then we need to get out of this universe fast!
Objective ID

Dialogue
I suggest we attempt to force the Dimension Shift Circuit into activation.
Objective ID
1,540,245,107

Dialogue
I will divert all available power through the Circuit. Perhaps we will be able to kickstart the technology.

We have another Borg ship bearing down on us!

Diverting power.

That man out there, suspended impossibly in the vacuum, I know him. He was a Starfleet captain on the USS Discovery.
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Never heard of it.
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
That is likely. Knowledge of that particular vessel is limited to a very small number. He is understood to have been destroyed by the unique technology powering the Discovery.

Vael
Dialogue
He is from my universe! I am certain of it.

Vael is telling me that Lorca is from the Mirror Universe.

It is possible. Wait. He is addressing us all again.

Lorca
Dialogue
Hear me, blissfully oblivious ephemera of this dimension. Pay heed to my words, for I bring a great truth. A great truth!
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lorca
Dialogue
I was once like you. Tiny. Mortal. A victim of fate, laboring under the illusion that my actions mattered. But my mortality was ripped asunder, the threads of my existence thrown across the multiverse.
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lorca
Dialogue
I have seen it all. I have been it all. I have inhabited every atom of every potentiality, traveled every path of possibility, and I judge it inefficient. Confused. Messy.
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lorca
Dialogue
The mechanics of the quantum realm must be reined in. Every little choice cannot be worthy of an entire new universe. It is a waste of the precious energy of creation. And it cannot go on.
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lorca
Dialogue
I, your new God, will grasp the black coal of this chaos in my fist and crush into a pure, glittering diamond of order. From now on, every decision, every choice, will be the only decision, the only choice.
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase

Character
Lorca
Dialogue
Soon, very soon, I will have amassed the necessary power to bring every dimension of the multiverse crashing together into one true dimension beneath my benevolent rule.
Objective ID
1,712,138,070
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lorca
Dialogue
Yes, many of you will die. Make your peace with that now, for it is useless to argue with the inevitable. But for those who remain, the fortunate, you will bask in the glory of my perfect creation.

He’s insane.

Prepare yourselves… for Symbiosis.

We have to take him down.

That will not be an easy task.

We have to at least try!

Agreed. Battlestations.

Fire at that lunatic.

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
What just happened?
Objective ID
1,897,054,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
What we expected. Lorca simply vanished from existence. For as long as we have before the Symbiosis Event occurs, he is a multidimensional being, capable of winking in and out of dimensions at will.
Objective ID
1,897,054,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
That’s going to make him a difficult target.
Objective ID
1,897,054,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Then we do not make him the target. We make the Symbiosis Event our objective. If it can be instigated, there must be a way to stop it.
Objective ID
1,897,054,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
Perhaps we might consider trying to stop that first?
Objective ID

What are you talking about?
Objective ID
1,897,054,592

Well, it appears our new messiah has just returned and is creating a massive spatial disturbance. Which is coming our way.
Objective ID
1,897,054,592

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Can we use the Dimension Shift Circuit to escape?
Objective ID
1,897,054,592

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I am afraid it is still not functioning correctly.
Objective ID
1,897,054,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Then can we at least try to outrun it?
Objective ID
1,897,054,592

Character
Maia
Dialogue
This is the only option open to us.
Objective ID
1,897,054,592

Then hit it!
