It appears that a Klingon war party met the Progenitors as they arrived in the system. I am picking up twenty four destroyed vessels.

How can they do this? How can they come to a galaxy they don’t know and just… obliterate its inhabitants?

That is correct. However, their path increases their expected time of arrival considerably. We may reach Sol before them.

Wait. Maia, the Progenitors had to take the long way round to Sol. What do each of the systems they skipped have in common?

Checking. The only common element between those systems is that each of them contains a significant concentration of ionized atom radiation. This is hardly remarkable as such a dosage is harmless to vessels.

Vessels with Tritanium hulls. Those Progenitor ships are made of something very different. Maybe that’s the trick, Commander.

They can’t enter systems with ionized atom radiation! This is huge, Commander. It might very well give us a fighting chance.

Commander, there is something wrong with the Progenitor ship. I am reading a significant radiation spike. We should move farther away lest we suffer negative effects.

Alright, try to stay out of their range, Maia. We don’t want to let them know that we’re following them.

They haven’t reacted at all. You’d think they’d want to know why they haven’t seen us in so long.

Actually, I do not think they have noticed. They do not seem to put much thought into any individual being of this galaxy. Rather, I believe they view us as a small part of one whole.

Well… I suppose that makes sense. Still sort of insulting, though. Here we are working hard to stop their evil plan and they don’t even have the courtesy of paying attention to us.

Attempting to calculate. Their estimated path is difficult to estimate, given their unusually long pattern. There, it appears that they will arrive in Romulan space.

I knew it was only a matter of time before they got interested in the seats of the major powers. This is not gonna go well, Commander.

The Progenitors appear to be doing some sort of deep surface scan. It does not appear to be triggering any of the planet’s automated defenses.

Calculating. Their plotted warp path avoids a large section of Independent space, but it is likely that are heading towards Kronos.

There has to be some reason why they’re avoiding these systems… Well, for now let’s follow them. We need to see what they want.
