Dialogue
To meet with Section 31? I don’t think so. You were about to say we should take a well-deserved break, and I agree. I’ve been dreaming about sun-kissed Risian beaches for a while now.

Not in the traditional sense, at least.

The Commander’s idea of trawling through their logs and using them to rebuild your memories from scratch was brilliant, if a little tedious.

Captain Picard assures us that the quantum bubble in Cor’Tun is holding. There is no longer any risk of the Nameless invading our galaxy. Or any other, for that matter.

It is unwise to come poking around these parts, Independent. I’d get a move on if I were you.

Alright, we’re a-go.

We have lost visual on Agent Bristow’s ship. Nothing on sensors, either.

Come on, Commander. What are you waiting for? Scared to step into the unknown?

We are unfamiliar with this sector, Commander. I would advise caution in this situation.

If our paths ever cross again, I won’t underestimate you a second time. You should be careful making enemies out here.

You should be careful starting fights you cannot win.

Bah! Let’s get out of here. Looks like our intel was wrong, anyway. Damn Bolian…

Yes. I knew you could handle yourself. You seem to have put them off our trail for now, though I will need to find that loose-lipped Bolian…

Indeed. You should not have forced our hand.

Look. We’ll let you off for now, but you should think twice before showing up unannounced. I don’t know if you noticed, but we don’t like strangers here.

Commander, while you were dealing with our aggressors, I was able to isolate Cillian’s ship signal and track it to a nearby trade station.

Your favorite Independent at any given moment is the one that can do something for you.

Precisely. I’m glad we’re on the same page.

Are you going to tell us where we are?

Luther Sloan

Apologies. We do enjoy a little cloak and dagger. But let’s get down to it. Firstly, how much do you know about this part of the galaxy?
Objective ID
885,912,684
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Very little. We were under the impression that it was sparsely populated and mostly unexplored.
Objective ID

Phase

Not too far off. A few centuries ago, it was settled by the reclusive Aeonians after a climate crisis claimed their home planet.

They’re not too keen on outsiders, but this place has become something of a haven for the displaced in recent years. They call it the Margins.

What is Section 31’s interest here?

Bristow, transmit the gravimetric scans.

What are we looking at?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Luther Sloan
Dialogue
These scans were taken deep in the Margins. Take note of the massive gravimetric fluctuations. Something is happening out there, something that’s affecting the fabric of space-time.
Objective ID
885,912,684
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Bristow
Dialogue
There have been smaller surges happening at random throughout the Margins, too. We think they must be related to this core anomaly.
Objective ID
885,912,684
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
And you want us to investigate.
Objective ID

Luther Sloan
Dialogue
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, I need you to find someone. A Section 31 agent we tasked with gathering information on the key players in the Margins.

Bristow
Dialogue
He’s missed his last few check-ins. We believe his cover might have been blown.

Dialogue
The denizens of the Margins are not fans of Section 31, I take it.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Luther Sloan
Dialogue
So it would seem. You’ve proven useful to us in the past, so we’re hoping you can get this done quickly. We’re transmitting Cillian’s last known coordinates and his ship data to you.
Objective ID

Bristow

Find out what happened to him, and bring him back. If you can.
