He’s finally ready to deal. Sale is happening in Kabrel. You bring the Latinum. I’ll accompany the scientist. He’ll bring the Mind Modulator.

The transmission has been released on the same frequencies as the one that targeted Byr.

Alright. Let’s just hope someone’s listening.

And if they’re not?

Well… We’ve been out of worse binds before, right? We can take them.

Are you sure?

How are you feeling, old friend?

I’ve been better. But I’m alive, at least.

Indeed. And lucky that your disguise was so thorough – if the Cardassians knew who you really were, they would have kept you and forced you to create the device under their control.

Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
What the hell were you thinking, Byr? Creating a device like that? And trying to sell it?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Byr
Dialogue
I wasn’t trying to sell it! I had a purely academic conversation with someone I trusted, and next thing I know, I’m embroiled in this mess.

Byr
Dialogue
Anyway, it’s not like the device worked. Not in the way the Cardassians wanted it to.

…What?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Byr
Dialogue
The Mindwave Modulator affects the mental state of the target, but it only works on open minds. Ones that are already ready to believe. When the Cardassians tested it, it worked because they expected it to.
Objective ID

Byr
Dialogue
But had they tried it on one of their enemies? It would have done nothing.

Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
You mean to tell us that we went through all of this for a party trick?!
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Byr
Dialogue
It is a foundation, Dajash, a starting point. A prototype. Who knows where it might take us?
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Masriad Vael
Dialogue
Enough, Byr. It ends here. The device is useless as it is and too dangerous as it could be. Destroy it now so that we don’t have to save the galaxy from it some day.

But, Masriad! Please!

Now, Byr. I’m done talking about this.

Fine. Have it your way… There. All my work down the drain.

There’s a lesson to be learned here, Byr. I only hope that you take the time to learn it.

Elim Garak
Dialogue
Byr is recovering in the infirmary. The Cardassians were not gentle with him, but he will be fine. The Doctor will see to that. And he has been changed back to his original form, of course.

As have I. More’s the pity.

Well, you made quite the Cardassian, but you’re a delight this way, too, darling. Now, do you want to do a fitting while you’re here?

Actually, I do have a few pieces that need–

Character
Odo
Dialogue
Come in, Garak. Sisko wants to see you in the captain’s quarters without further ado. Some Cardassians are up in arms. Something about the Deep Space 9 harboring criminals…
Objective ID

Odo
Dialogue
Happen to know anything about that?
Objective ID

Dialogue
Er– Of course not, my dear Odo! But I will hasten to tell the Captain as much myself.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Elim Garak
Dialogue
I’m afraid I must away, friends. Dajash, it was a pleasure being in the field with you again. Toli, come see me another time, and we will get those pieces tailored to perfection.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Masriad Vael
Dialogue
I think that’s our cue to get out of here – let’s bring Byr back to his lab. Thank you for everything, Garak.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Elim Garak
Dialogue
Don’t mention it. Seriously, if you could keep my involvement in this under wraps, it would be much appreciated.

You have our word.

The Cardassian’s shields are beginning to fail, Captain.
Objective ID

Character
Masriad Vael
Dialogue
Get a lock on Byr’s life sign. Get him out of there, now!
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad Vael
Dialogue
There has to be a way we can get this to work out in our favor. We need to get Byr, but there is no way I’m giving the Mindwave Modulator back to the Cardassians.
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Elim Garak
Dialogue
You could plant a tiny explosive on the device and trigger it once we have your friend back.
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad Vael
Dialogue
Interesting… It could work.
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
To play devil’s advocate, if they scan the device – which I would, in their position – and find the explosive before they release Byr, we’re in trouble.
Objective ID

Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Why don’t we take a leaf out of their book?

Masriad Vael
Dialogue
What do you mean?
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
The Cardassians sent out an anonymous transmission to draw attention to Byr’s lab, obscuring their trail and potentially getting rid of Byr in the process.
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad Vael
Dialogue
Aha. An interesting play. Let everyone around know that a big exchange is happening. Something to be gained by any enterprising Independent who wants to get involved.
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Exactly. Put a target on the Cardassians, like they did with Byr.
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase

Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
We’d be throwing ourselves right into the chaos, too.
Objective ID
1,231,384,161
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Elim Garak
Dialogue
Indeed, but you’d just need to hold your own until the Cardassian’s shield was down. Then we could retrieve your friend and hightail it out of there.

We? So you’re coming with us?

Well, I hate leaving a story unfinished.

I must say, I am surprised that worked.

Are you here to deal, or what?

Cardassian Guard
Dialogue
Only a human could think the life of a traitorous nobody was worth a device like the Modulator.
Objective ID
1,909,409,095
Phase

Character
Masriad Vael
Dialogue
…Traitorous nobody? Oh yes. But also my friend. Beam him over, and you’ll get the device.
Objective ID

You’ll send the device now, or your friend dies.

Do not ask stupid questions, Captain. You know what we want. Bring it to Kabrel.

Yes. But we need to be smart about it. Let’s think about this a little.
