Captain Picard is right – we must try a diplomatic approach first. Artifact hunters work for profit, and if we offer them a price high enough to look away, it is possible to avoid fighting.

I like seeing numbers go up! Well, Commander, you have a temporary friend among the Arkonians. Let’s see… Q trinkets are in Section T, floor 87. Good luck finding what you need.

Vash is correct – if the Arkonians have initiated the fight before, they will not hesitate to attack again, knowing that Vash is aboard. They might not want to share information willingly, either.

We should start by scanning the security systems. Attacking head-on would be irresponsible.

Just as Kshtarr’n said, there is a warehouse guarded by a fleet of Arkonian vessels. The security systems are intricate, but they can be bypassed with enough time and fire support.

Arkonians had no trouble shooting us first. Why do you think they won’t do the same as soon as you hail them? Attacking first will give us a fair advantage.

Because we are better than this. And yet, you are correct – this is no easy decision. Commander, you’ve dealt with situations like this. What do you think is the best approach?

We sent it to our warehouse in Nekaso! It will await the convoy to the client here, but they were very eager to get their hands on the weapon, so you better hurry.

It’s a niche business. Paths get crossed all the time, and you can’t avoid bumping into the same person again and again. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Who knows who we’ll meet next?

Affirmative. The scans indicate a variety of valuable artifacts that are meant to be sold off on the black market. The Q Weapon, however, is not among them.

The warehouse is secured behind a shield, but it’s powered by an outside source. According to calculations, it should come from a starship, preferably big enough to act as a generator.
