Welcome back, Commander. I assume by the exterior damage to your vessel, that today’s negotiations did not go according to plan?

Unfortunately not.

It would appear we share the same luck, then. I have been unable to get through to Officer Burnham. She has confined herself to her quarters and is refusing to communicate any further.

I am growing concerned for her well-being and mental state, Commander. I fear that further exposure to Klingon presence may result in an… undesired outcome.

I am making moves to have Officer Burnham confined to the Discovery while you are conducting business with the Klingons. I fear it is in everyone’s best interest to do so.

That treacherous filth! Remind me to never trust another Yridian. All the damn Parsteel that was on that ship, gone!

I suppose that’s correct. Thank you for your efforts here today, Independent. Your fee will be at your Station when you return.

Now that you’ve joined us here, we can begin negotiations.

And about damn time too. I was starting to get impatient.

Grotoq
Dialogue
Then we will not take up more of your time. We require your protection and overseeing of our mining fleet. I believe the agreed price was 1,100 Parsteel.

Correct. That was the agreed price. But my time isn’t cheap, and you’ve wasted enough of it waiting on your lackey here.

The price is now 2,650 Parsteel.

Well you better find it, fast. You’re a damn mining party and you don’t even have this much Parsteel? Pathetic.

Dialogue
Independent, I know this is an unorthodox request. But if you can spare us 2,650 Parsteel, we can close these negotiations and get out of here.

The requested amount of Parsteel has been beamed to your cargo bay, Yerwahn. May I ask as to why you are locking targets on our vessel?

You’re not worth my time protecting. You’re not even worth the minimal effort it would take to decimate your entire fleet.

Your prowess in combat is to be feared, but with the increasing number of attacks from Nausicaan raiders, we need more firepower.

I am transmitting the location of the negotiation to your bridge now. Time is short, Independent. Get over here.
