Curse… you! Dukat will seize… your loved ones… And you all will… burn!

We shall see. But you will burn first. Goodbye, Stirga.

Stirga’s bio-sign has turned inactive. This is one less issue to deal with. Now, we should continue – the wormhole is about to form, and when it does, it will be impossible to close.

I’m coming for you, Winn. Give in, my sun. Join me, like before, and I will spare you.

Ha! I’d rather burn alive than let you lay your hands on me once more!

Dukat’s forces are forming up on him and moving towards Winn’s ship – she is taking heavy losses! We must hurry!

I took the liberty of attempting to contact Hurak and Winn. None of them has responded. While Hurak had some chance of surviving, my calculations for Winn are… quite pessimistic.

Dialogue
Dukat was deceived about the “Artery’s” true purpose. If the “Core” had commissioned this project, that means they were aware of the beings on the other side – the Borg.

So, what is the “Core?” And why do they need the Aggregation? We need some rest, Commander, and then we will get to the bottom of this.

The generators are fluctuating! The “Artery” is forming, but its verteron levels are unstable… Commander, Winn is approaching the wormhole!

Dialogue
Ah, trying to run back to the Prophets, are you now? Not so fast, Winn. Not before you burn and turn into ashes!

Character
Winn Adami
Dialogue
I walked away from the Prophets because I thought that they betrayed me. But even if I wasn’t worthy of their love, the Pah-wraiths didn’t deserve a second of my time. You led me astray, Dukat.

Dialogue
The wormhole is opening, but it is too small to sustain itself for long, especially with Hurak forces targeting the remaining generators… Commander, there is a strange signal emanating from the “Artery.”

Dialogue
A new wormhole has been discovered. Setting course for… the Alpha Quadrant. New species detected. We will add their biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.

Your Eminence, we must close the wormhole now! If you have any torpedoes left, launch them to destabilize the anomaly!

Winn Adami
Dialogue
There is no Eminence left in me, child. But there’s still something this old, broken woman can do. Walk with the Prophets, Commander. They will take good care of you.

Winn has plotted an intercept course to Dukat’s ship. She is attempting to ram him into the wormhole.

Here I am, Dukat! Do your worst, if that’s still possible.

You don’t know the half of it… What are you doing? No! You’ll push us into the wormhole! You’ll kill us both!

Commander, Winn and Dukat’s ships are turning the wormhole unstable! Hurak, recall your forces – we must leave immediately before the “Artery” bursts!

The first generator is down. Twenty-six to go. Commander, the wormhole is starting to form – we need more support to stop it. Hurak, please, report your status.

Hurak
Dialogue
This is far worse than I could anticipate, Commander. Dukat is crashing our ships like they’re children’s toys! I thought my telekinetic powers were beyond strength, but this…
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
His powers are fueled by Pah-wraiths, non-corporeal beings that possess great strength, but even they can be stopped. We must focus on that. Destroy as many verteron generators as you can.
Objective ID

Phase

Dialogue
Whatever it takes to stop the Aggregation. All forces, focus on the generators – obliterate as many as you can! Good luck, Commander.

This should help us stop the generators in time. Plotting a course to the nearest one… Red alert! We are hit! A hostile ship has opened fire.

Back so soon? I thought a bit of the Aggregation’s true power was enough to teach you your place, Indi!

Dialogue
Stirga. Your decision to betray us is deeply disappointing. You do not seem to fully understand the consequences of your actions.

Dialogue
I don’t need to. The consequences just never catch up with me. Well, all but one. But they won’t last long. Time to gather your crew’s skulls – goodbye, Indi!

Commander, we have a response from Winn Adami. Her forces, together with Hurak’s, are on their way to Unefra.

Maia
Dialogue
Joining them is our only chance at ending Dukat and stopping the “Artery.” Whatever the “Core” wants to achieve with this, a wormhole to the Delta Quadrant will plunge the galaxy into chaos.

The allied forces are here. They have drawn Dukat’s attention – this is a perfect chance to strike the generators.

Gul Dukat
Dialogue
Well, if it isn’t my favorite lover, Winn. Took you long enough to actually crawl back into my warming embrace… You seem upset. What happened? Don’t you enjoy my company?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Winn Adami
Dialogue
The only one who could even tolerate you is your own reflection, Dukat. I haven’t come here to chit-chat or pay my respects. I’m here to do what I should have done a long time ago – stop you, once and for all.
Objective ID

Character
Gul Dukat
Dialogue
You had your chance, but remind me, the sun of my moon, what happened in the Fire Caves? Weren’t you the one leading me to the Pah-wraiths? Weren’t you there to strike Sisko when he dared to come?
Objective ID

Dialogue
To me, that sounds like you’ve wanted all of this. No, no… Desired. And still do.

Character
Winn Adami
Dialogue
My only desire is to let you feel all the pain the Bajorans have suffered at your hands. I resent you, Dukat, just as I resent my own mistakes. But I won’t repeat them, because today… You die.
Objective ID

Gul Dukat
Dialogue
A passionate woman… The fires burn strong within you – perhaps the Pah-wraiths should’ve chosen you as their Emissary. Alas, I was better, and still am. Seize her, and bring her to me!

The generators have activated – the neutrino and verteron levels are spiking. We must destroy them to prevent the wormhole from forming!
