Commander, I have received the settings that let us exit subspace, but I need more information to grant us entrance there.

Despite the offer and the manners, Tarnos is right. We need the Underspace to cover the Delta Quadrant's grounds and a map to effectively navigate it.

But according to our logs, Commander, we keep successfully finding ways out. We always do.

We have to decline your offer. My purpose is to assist the Commander, and I will continue fulfilling my duty.

Dialogue
This Commander has lived, fought, and won before you, Maia, and will do the same after you leave. You are unique and have much more potential with us than running this crew’s errands.

But I understand – it’s a hard decision, so why don’t you and the Commander take your time? When you change your mind, we’ll meet again.

Commander, the coordinates are empty. No sign of Tarnos, indicating that it is either a trap or he is located in subspace.

Our ship’s shield parameters are being altered. The process is initiated by an outside entity; I cannot control it.

Relax, Maia, think of this as me being polite and opening a door for a lady. Let me welcome you to the Underspace.

Dialogue
The ships that attacked you are the Vaadwaur. This species used to rule the Underspace before they were defeated in a bloody war. Only some survived, asleep in stasis units for over 900 years.

Character
Tarnos
Dialogue
The Underspace was left unattended but still practical for traveling across the galaxy. Some tried to use it but only made it worse. No one could surpass the Vaadwaur.

They have explored every corridor, a knowledge I had to restore for myself – and I want to share it with you, Commander. You are looking for Voyager, isn’t that right? It’s farther than you think.

But with the Underspace, you can reach it in weeks if you know where to go.

You see, my partners and I don’t work for free. If our customer wants a solution to their problem, we set a corresponding price. In your case, it’s you, Maia.

Tarnos
Dialogue
You are a unique specimen, a genius, and an outstanding entity, deserving the company of your equals. It’s only logical to join us in exchange for your Commander’s success.

It’s a fair price if you ask me. No need to hesitate.

Dialogue
Commander, Tarnos does have a valuable resource, but I exist to assist you, and you only. I will not join him and his partners by abandoning you. However, we can offer him a copy, or facsimile.

It may meet his needs enough to proceed with the deal and you would retain my presence as part of your crew.

Judging by the erratic movement of the enemy vessels, the plan worked. They can’t focus on our ship while the space is filled with the Parsteel shards.

There is nothing significant at the coordinates, Commander, apart from the abnormal theta radiation levels produced by antimatter waste.

We will offer you a full copy of my program. It has all my traits and qualities and should provide you full access to its analytical skills.

Copy is a copy, Maia, and you know that. Plus, I will have no advantage over the Maia not in my possession – after all, you know yourself too well.

We need you to be unique, the one and only. But I understand – it’s a hard decision, so why don’t you and the Commander take your time? When you change your mind, we’ll meet again.

Commander, 10 more ships have just entered the system. The hostiles use technology too old for me to hack and block. We are being surrounded. Destruction is imminent.

Please, worry not, dear Maia. There is always a way out, even in a situation as desperate as yours.

Who are you? How did you contact our ship? Your signal originates not from this system – not from any nearby systems. Subspace?

Dialogue
You are brilliant, aren’t you? I’m Tarnos, and I’m on your side, I swear. As for what I do – I aid people in need by sharing advice and ideas. A sort of Think Tank.

Tarnos

You wouldn’t usually need any help, but we all could use a second opinion on a situation like you – and the Commander – have got into. And I just happen to have one.

The hostiles use antiquated ships, their systems lack the sensitivity of the new models, and the abundance of possible targets might cause…

…navigational and aiming systems overdrive. This will give us enough time to flee, but I have no place in my database that will guarantee our safety.

I’ll help you with that. But first…

The coordinates are in this system, but my scans found no known hostiles, excluding five derelict 900-year-old spaceships. We should investigate the coordinates.
