- So, once a biological cause was ruled out, I figured we must be looking at some kind of manipulation technique. And what’s the oldest, most effective tool of manipulation?

- Language! Propaganda, rhetoric, oratory. That’s powerful stuff. So I pinpointed when each of these societies broke down and started monitoring transmissions in the run up to that moment.

- Dialogue
- Yeah, so there was nothing weird on the surface, but when I took a deeper dive I found a kind of code hidden beneath the surface. A series of potentially symbolic linguistic patterns.

- Dialogue
- Thank you, Captain. I don’t have enough to go on yet to decipher the patterns. I’ve run them through our own translation software but we’re missing our own Rosetta Stone to get a proper fix.

- However, by cross-referencing my findings and constructing a basic search algorithm, I’ve located a number of systems where these symbols can be found in higher concentrations.

- We just got news from Starfleet’s genetic research folks. They’ve studied a number of people from the affected sectors and found no physical cause for their sudden antagnoism.

- Dialogue
- The experts seem pretty certain that we’re not looking at any kind of virus. Certainly not of the kind we’re used to anyway.
- Objective ID

- Character

- Dialogue
- But the way all of this is happening suggests some kind of mental manipulation. Uhura, I want you to work with the station’s sensors.

- Dialogue
- I’m not sure. Some point of commonality between the affected systems. I get the feeling that whatever it is must be buried in their communications, to affect so many at the same time.

- Uhura needs to sweep the system, we need to give her the time to do that. Disable as many ships as we can out there, but only those that come at us first.

- Uhura, sweep the region and collect as much as you can of that linguistic pattern of yours. Maybe it’ll give us what we’re missing to fully translate the messaging.

- Dialogue
- I got a lot, Captain, and I’ve tweaked the software to zero in on anything we can use to translate the symbols, but we’re still missing the intermediary piece of the puzzle.
