Commander, I have detected a small datapad present in this system. It belongs to a Federation research ship and contains alloys’ conductivity data, but a hidden message appears when I use the cipher.

We had a visit from an inspection committee today. Even though it wasn’t the first time they had suddenly arrived to check our progress, inspectors seemed… different.

They were much more nosy and highly attentive but, at the same time, seemed to ignore any word we said. They might know I’m here, just looking at whether I snap.

I will dispose of this datapad through the trash shute, but I’ll keep my notes close if I need to delete them quickly. Now is the high time to run, and I found a perfect getaway plan.

An extraction signal should have come through by now, and I’ll take my leave as soon as our ship docks at the trade station in the Stateside system. Trader, mercenary, pirate – I’ll pay anyone to get me out.

Independent, good to see you. Thank you for helping me out there. The Federation ship reached us as soon as we stopped. The smuggler tried to resist, but that was unsuccessful.

We have followed the Federation datapads with the ciphered messages. They were used as the breadcrumbs to lead to your current position.

Of course. Without the cipher, they are meaningless. It proves you are here to help me return to Romulus and report on my findings. I’m glad I didn’t destroy my notes after all.

The Federation must be desperate – or ruthless – to play our own trick on us. We’ve checked our scans of the agent; as it turns out, he was a disguised Vulcan sent to interrupt our operation.

Rekin must be long dead, but even deceased and compromised, he gave us essential information on the Federation research. He was a good agent.

Good. Beam the agent aboard my vessel; my people will take care of him. I suppose he was exposed and captured by the Federation military vessel, right?

Affirmative. According to the datapads left behind, Rekin’s research dealt with Augments and genetic engineering, overseen by Section 31. Transmitting the data to you now.

His way of speech differed from the ones in datapads; he does not recall leaving the datapads behind either. My sensors showed no signs of physical or mental damage, and…

Unfortunately, Agent Rekin was not present at the extraction point, which leads to two possibilities: he was caught, or this was a trap to uncover his true intentions. None of those satisfy us.

You are not affiliated with the Romulan Star Empire, Independent – the perfect candidate to find the actual location of Agent Rekin and deliver him to us.

Rekin’s last registered location was in the Euryodite-731 system, as signaled by a rigged datapad. If you find any, use a cipher to unlock their hidden data – it has already been sent to your computer.

Commander, a Federation ship is in the system alongside a small vessel’s debris, destroyed five minutes ago. Given the presence of several damaged Federation datapads, that was Rekin’s ship.

We are looking for a scientist aboard the ship you appear to have destroyed. I have detected no dead bodies in the debris, so my conclusion is that you have the aforementioned scientist aboard.

Yes, you are right. This scientist had breached our security protocols and will be delivered to the authorities for interrogation. Anything else you want?

Beam the scientist aboard our ship. We will handle it to avoid unwanted attention from the parties involved.

The parties involved? So you were sent by the Romulans! Then we will have more subjects to interrogate.

Commander, the Federation ship is locking weapons on us. We must disable them and extract Agent Rekin before anyone learns about this encounter.

Commander, we have reached the trading post. I have found a datapad with a similar signature to the one with Rekin’s message. It is at the antique trader’s stall, but I can extract the data from it remotely.

Dialogue
The last inspection was Section 31, and now it all makes sense. The research's chaotic nature and vague goals hid the true cause: genetic engineering. The classified samples of genes belong to Augments.

It’s been prohibited since the Eugenics Wars on Earth, but could this mean that the Federation is looking into it once again? Or to find a weapon against Augments?

I’m tempted to delete everything I’ve collected and noted. Any bit of information is like a ticking bomb that’s about to go off. If I’m in danger, it will all be gone, deleted, and destroyed.

Now I need to get out. I’ve paid a smuggler to get me to the Krokenia system, and from there, I’ll get to the extraction point. This datapad will be the price, along with some research tools.

I’ve never been this scared. Even now, hiding in the tight corner of a forsaken parlor, I feel like I’m being watched. I just hope that those eyes belong to my own kind, the Tal Shiar.

There is a warp signature of a ship headed to the Krokenia system. I suggest that we pursue immediately.
