- 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.

- Dialogue
- 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.

- Dialogue
- 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.
