- And hundreds – and some thousands – of years old. So, handle them with care.

- Of course, Professor. So, you believe you recognize these symbols.

- Jenviv
- Dialogue
- They are indeed very familiar. Let me see, let me see. Terran elves, no. The Bajoran Cadjran, no. The Dhamvinem, no… Ah! I have it! The Q’Nuz!

- Who are they?
- Objective ID

- Character
- Jenviv
- Dialogue
- A particularly nasty version of the Fay legend. They lived to sow chaos, delighting especially in pitting friend against friend.

- Uhura
- Dialogue
- That sounds pretty familiar. How did they do it?
- Objective ID
- 1,237,413,220
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Jenviv
- Dialogue
- In the stories, they would place their runes over the languages of their targets and change their meaning through magic. They would sow division through lies and the disintegration of truth.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Jenviv
- Dialogue
- People could no longer understand each other or even want to. They would become convinced of grand conspiracies, believe brothers and sisters plotted against them, that pure blood equaled supremacy.

- Dialogue
- And that book in your hand contains instances of those runes and what they were used to mean?

- That is correct.

- Are there scanned copies I can take with me? I have to show them to my captain.

- Jenviv
- Dialogue
- Why?
- Objective ID
- 1,237,413,220
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- Because, Professor Jenviv, I believe these Q’Nuz aren’t so mythological after all.
- Objective ID
- 1,237,413,220
- Phase

- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- I think they may have made themselves appear that way, using their language to manipulate the memories of other races, to hide in the shadows.

- Where presumably they could continue to manipulate the actions and behavior of others.

- Dialogue
- Exactly! Thank you, Professor. You may have just helped us save the galaxy.

- Good. I’m on my way to meet with Professor Capra Jenviv. She’s the resident expert on depictions of Fay entities in galactic folklore.

- Nothing! Oh, is that the time? I’m late for my appointment with Professor Jenviv. I’d better get moving.

- Well, since we already have the ability to translate the symbols, this is just a… a nice, ornate stone.

- It is nice to look at. Does it say anything interesting?
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- Um, essentially, “Bend the knee before the Fay Q’Nuz.”
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- I’m not sure that tells us much.
- Objective ID

- Uhura
- Dialogue
- It tells us we’re on the right path, Captain. We’re close to finding them. I know it.

- Character
- Pike
- Dialogue
- This place is quiet.
- Objective ID
- 240,990,113
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Indeed, Captain. It is a system of predominantly forest planets. Yet there appears to be a distinct lack of advanced life for a place with so many life-nurturing worlds. No ships, no habitats, no hostile elements.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Pike
- Dialogue
- Honestly, I’m just happy not to have to fight anyone for five minutes. Come on, let’s take the opportunity to beam down to one of these forest worlds and see what we can find.

- Tell me what you need, Uhura.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- Well, Captain, I think I’ve found a correlation between the symbols being seeded across the galaxy and the runic script of an ancient, supposedly mythologhical race of elves.
- Objective ID
- 247,125,377
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Pike
- Dialogue
- Elves. Like… like children’s story elves?
- Objective ID
- 247,125,377
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- Um, I’d have to verify that, sir, but if these elves are sinister, unreliable…
- Objective ID

- Pike
- Dialogue
- That’s a no, then.
- Objective ID
- 247,125,377
- Phase

- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- Captain, I need to do some research in ancient fictional languages and runic symbols. The best place for me to do that is the Narrative faculty of the Lexsyn Insitute of Xeno-Linguistics in Angosia.
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- Anything that gets us away from this place. Alright, punch in a course for Angosia.

- Character
- Pike
- Dialogue
- That’s one heck of a theory, Nyota. Intriguing, though, but I’m not sure how we’re supposed to chase something that has hidden itself in fairy tales.
- Objective ID
- 670,142,850
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- The Q’Nuz aren’t hiding in fairy tales exactly. Their power is more to do with how they use language.
- Objective ID

- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Pike
- Dialogue
- Does that help us?
- Objective ID
- 670,142,850
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- Not as such, but I think I have a good idea where we might find them. In the meantime, I’ve sent my findings to Starfleet. Along with a program they can install into the sensors.
- Objective ID
- 670,142,850
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- That should neutralize the effects of the Q’nuz runic manipulation of galactic media and comms.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Pike
- Dialogue
- Excellent work. So, where do you think we find our elven friends?
- Objective ID
- 670,142,850

- Character
- Uhura
- Dialogue
- The Gawen system.

- Good. Let’s go put a happy ever after on this fairy tale.
