Vella, why did the Romulans have a lab so close to Klingon space?

The Klingons are arrogant. They like to think they know everything about our people. They ‘know’ that Romulans are isolationists by nature.

Unfortunately, it would appear that the appearance of the Vi’dar has encouraged them to adapt their patrol routes. We are being scanned by a Klingon D3.

However, that is not our highest priority at the moment. The Vi’dar is still out there. Vella has given us quite a startling revelation, however.

She said that the Vi’dar “broke its own chains”. This leads me to believe that the ship is partially, or entirely, unmanned.

Vella, the ship interfaced with me some time ago. It left a cryptic message before fleeing. I need to know how to interface with it again. Failing that, we must find a way to contact its crew.

Why would I want to stop it? The Vi’dar is the ultimate expression of our rage, the final instrument of our vengeance. It is Nero’s legacy and it will finish his mission.

Stealing one of your escape pods. I’m sorry it had to come to this, but you proved yourself far too useful. With the data I secured from that lab, I can continue my work with Borg technology.

I will leave you with a parting gift, some information to say thank you. You have been asking the wrong questions. No-one stole the Vi’dar. It broke its own chains.

Vella is gone, Commander. We can do nothing to stop her. We must return to our Station and repair our weapons systems. We are defenseless without them.

I used that knowledge, and the lessons taught to me by our defeat, and used it to create the ultimate instrument of our vengeance. A perfect Narada.

Commander, I have received an alert from our Station. Vella is conscious. We should interrogate her as soon as possible. She may be able to give us valuable insight into the Vi’dar.
