So, you’d prefer to barter services in exchange for this technology? Very well, I may have just the task for an Independent such as yourself.

Recently, the Tal Shiar has uncovered intelligence of a rogue informant among our ranks – a Subcommander by the name of Vilaka.

Vilaka has been supplying information on Romulan military intelligence to the highest bidder. The Empire will not tolerate such a degree of treachery.

According to latest reports, Vilaka was last seen in the Rana Nur system. Go there and dispose of him. Consider this a small gesture of gratitude to the Empire for entertaining your request.

Oh, you’re back! How did the engagement with the Romulans go? Should I begin preparing my lab to receive the consignment of hardware?

Unfortunately not. Despite our efforts, the hardware was not currently available. However, the trade has been completed and we have their word that the technology will soon be available.

Damn! Well, thank you for trying. I just hope that your trust in the Romulans upholding their end of the bargain was not misplaced.

In the meantime, my cache of Cybernetic Fragments has almost been exhausted. We may need to acquire more before I can fully understand the workings of the survivor’s cybernetic enhancements.

You will receive the technology when the Romulan Star Empire is ready to relinquish it to you, Independent cur. Question our methods again at your own personal risk.

Very well… Commander, we should return to Dalen and update him on these recent developments. He may be displeased, but we have exhausted our options here.

We will make an advance payment in exchange for the listed hardware. How much do you ask of us?

So you’ve chosen to deal in hard currency then? A shame. We could have used your… expertise in handling another matter. But nonetheless, a deal is a deal.

Dialogue
This inventory will not be cheap, there is some state of the art hardware included in this request. The cost for all of this will be nothing less than 750,000 Tritanium.

You there. State your business. Valdore Outpost is not a refueling depot for wayward travelers.

We mean no disrespect. We understand that the Romulan Star Empire is most adept in the development and research of cybernetic technology, and also possesses the necessary hardware.

We have come to you today in the hopes that we can broker a deal to purchase some of this technology in order to aid our own research.

Your own research? And why should the Empire contribute to the efforts of a lowly Independent? What do we have to gain from this venture?
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Nothing. This is not an attempt to contribute to the prosperity of the Empire. It is clear to us that a contribution such as this would not be required nor requested of us.

However, it is our hope that, as fellow scientists, you would be willing to aid a fellow academic in their pursuit of knowledge. We will gladly pay in order to receive this technology.

Hmmm… an interesting proposal, Independent. Transmit your required inventory list. But know this, Independent; the Romulan Star Empire does not deal in charitable donations.

We can procure the items on this list for you. However, in return, you will either pay a high price or perform a service for us. Make your choice.
