Z3N is dead. But what did he mean by one last trap?

I believe it was referring to the massive warship currently heading straight for us, weapons locked.

Z3N is no longer a threat, Captain Pike. Spock and I have seen to that.

That’s a relief. The universe already has enough insane tyrants to deal with. One less is always welcome.

Sounds like you have a fan, Spock. I believe it, Maia. I can’t think of anyone better in a crisis. You’re unflappable, eh, Spock?

Modest to the last. Well, okay, I’m glad you came through too, Maia. And the Federation as a whole is also grateful.

But, that said, I think we’ll be okay to take care of this kind of stuff on our own from here on out.

Pretty sure you’ve got some mining or something to do, right? Anyway, you guys take care out there. Come on, Spock.

Goodbye, Maia. Personally, I would be most happy were we to cross paths again.

I am sorry you were not able to persuade Z3N that there was another way to live. It is indeed a loss.

Spock, I shall have to add romantic to your ever growing list of distinctly un-Vulcan character traits. Let us get you back to the Enterprise. Before you fall in love.

It is an old Federation probe. However, the device has been heavily adapted with an impressive array of technological augmentations.

No doubt the work of the thinking machines that found it. Ingenious. It is a shame that we must shut it down.

Enjoy your joke while you can, Maia. I am about to disable your systems and absorb your personality, all your memories and experiences, into myself.

I have it, Spock. The location of Z3N’s original personality core. We are not far from its current position.

Alright, Spock, here we go. I am going to make it look as if I am trying to implant corrupted data into Z3N’s systems via encrypted messaging coded into our conversation.

Dialogue
Our hope is that Z3N will be so occupied proving himself my superior, he will not notice the virus you will be seeding in one of its low level maintenance subroutines.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
It would be like the brush of an aphid’s wing against a calloused human hand. However, we will need to be close to Z3N if our plan has any chance of success. Be ready for my signal.

Maia
Dialogue
Z3N, you do not have to do this. An entity such as you would be a great asset to the Federation. Your knowledge would make you valuable, your intelligence well respected.

I have no need of the Federation, or any other alliance of inferior lifeforms. I shall be supreme. This you already know.

But why not use such greatness for benevolence? You…

Wait. Oh, Maia, really? You are trying to infect my systems with rotten code. I see it, poorly concealed within the clauses of our exchange. How pitiful. How disappointing.

Prepare the true virus, Spock. I am going to approach Z3N.
