Thank you, Commander, my most learnéd acquaintance! You’ll forgive me if I’m a little protective of the Origin Sector, given it is now mine.

You heard me, Pretty Eyes. You see, my bountiful personality has begun of late to irk some in the Continuum – not least those that were expecting my premature demise. What illogical fools they are!

But who said leaders had brains! They banished me here, to this temporal prison – thank you for that, by the way. Not your finest hour. Apparently, this place can contain my “mischief.”

So what’s a Q to do in a universe of no consequence? Any takers?… Conduct experiments, of course! Like a true scientist of my beloved new neighbors, the Federation. Who cares if there are a few side effects.

Where else do you think this wondrous Isogenite came from? I’m probing the dimensions like a Caldorian eel probes the seabed. Swear allegiance to my new systems, and you may share in the spoils.

What I’m saying, friends of this sector, is that I’m your new master – and that you’d do well to remember that, lest I experiment on you too! Though you, my dear, look like you’ve already seen your fair share.

Yes, having the Progenitor Network on hand is quite useful. I even have my own automated vessels to assist me. Anyway, that hasn’t stopped you from mining it for all it’s worth, has it? Don’t be a fool!

Good riddance, eh? If there’s anything more annoying than Tholians, Bolians, and whatever those other ones are called, it’s the DTI. Can’t they all just go extinct like the Tarellians?

I believe we owe it to all Independents to inform them of what has happened here. Only by Alliances taking control of these zones can we contain Q’s influence, and secure the future of the Origin Sector.

Excellent shooting, Commander! I told you we’d meet again. Come now, did you really think the DTI would turn a blind eye to your fabled return to the Origin Sector?

Ahvix, meet Agent Reva. She instructed us on the fail-safe procedure, which placed the iterative temporal safeguards on the Origin Sector, enabling me to fulfill my purpose as Temporal Cartographer.

Very good! But first, let us discuss the small matter of my poor vessel that you just so efficiently destroyed. Thankfully it was unmanned.

But I didn’t so diligently replicate the rare prize of a Tarellian starship, just to see it blown to smithereens. I mean, did you see it? Pretty as a snow globe! Makes you just want to shake it all about.

I think 11,000 Dilithium should about cover the expenditure of my energy to replace it.

Commander, reports are emerging from Independent Alliances that operate in the Origin Sector, that a powerful new force has migrated to the area.
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
The sector is naturally in a state of perpetual war between its quarantined factions, not to mention temporal flux – but things are reportedly becoming stranger still.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Given the powerful Progenitor ruins therein, and their importance to my own origins, we must investigate the cause of these reports.

If the temporal quarantine is at risk of failing, then the wider galaxy is in great danger. Many Independents are already mobilizing to investigate.

The Department of Temporal Investigations will no doubt be taking an interest as well. With any luck, we can get there before our old friend, Agent Reva.

Dialogue
The reports appear to be accurate, Commander. Sensors are detecting an unknown resource in this system.
Objective ID
1,593,746,338
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
There is a surprising amount of interference, but a cross-section of transmissions from the local factions shows that all of them, from the Trill to the Tholians, are calling it Isogenite.
Objective ID
1,593,746,338
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
This is presumably in reference to Isogen, which is already widespread in the Origin Sector, and intrinsically linked to the ancient Progenitor technology.
Objective ID

Maia

Initial scans confirm it is safe to approach. I would like to mine 15 1★ Isogenite to study it further.

But keep an eye open, Commander – data on the new force occupying the area is scant at best. We should remain vigilant.

I am receiving an answer to our request – it is Ahvix. Putting her through.

I should have known you two would be in this godforsaken place. But you are not entirely unwelcome.

It is nice to see you too, Ahvix. But I cannot get a fix on your ship.

Nor I yours. The Isogenite plays a wily game with sensors. I am in Oprelian Zeta.

Good, because there is something here that I think you will want to witness.

Behold, my friends, a quantum space-time anomaly!
Objective ID
683,465,252
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Your assessment appears to be correct. If I am interpreting these readings correctly, it connects to many more anomalies across the Origin Sector – and perhaps, even, beyond.
Objective ID

Ahvix
Dialogue
A veritable web of intrigue, is it not? I have seen nothing like it, in my galaxy nor yours.

Maia
Dialogue
I detect Isogenite inside the vortex, but it is liminal, with a cascading quantum resonance – as though it is not from this reality at all, but from many different realities all at the same time.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
The Progenitor Subspace Network can access many universes – a fact we are well acquainted with – which may go someway to explaining this phenomenon.

Ahvix
Dialogue
You are the Temporal Cartographer, are you not? Responsible for the infernal, time-locked eternity of this netherworld?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
We had no choice. I had to intervene, otherwise the self-destruction of the Progenitor ruin would have obliterated half of the galaxy.
Objective ID
683,465,252
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Ahvix
Dialogue
Then I owe you much. Have you observed how, once emitted into our space-time, the Isogenite resonance does appear to stabilize? That is why we can mine it.
Objective ID
683,465,252
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Indeed. This is how we will unlock the Progenitors’ secrets – not just in this dimension, but across all axes of space and time.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I hypothesize that we can refine mined Isogenite to unlock new Territory Capture research, and study the nature of this anomaly. I wonder where this vortex leads.

Nowhere good – not if that ship emerging from within is anything to go by. Shields up!

The resource does bear remarkable similarities to Isogen, as you can see from its appearance.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
But it is also emitting across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, especially high-energy and short-wavelength radiation. Though not at harmful levels, this may explain the interference.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
However, there is still no indication of the aggressor here. I wonder if other Independents are having better luck.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I shall put out a request for information – though given the interference, I doubt it will broadcast very far.

In the meantime, let us progress deeper. Set a course for Oprelian Gamma. There is something about these system names that seems familiar…
