Commander, we’ve had time to decrypt and peruse the Ascendant Project data you recovered from Oalac. The contents are… remarkable, to say the least.

It would appear that the Ascendant’s ability to enter stasis and recover from its injuries is the result of some type of experimental nano-technology the likes of which I have never seen within the Federation.

Oh, nothing. Apologies, I have a bad habit of thinking out loud sometimes. Anyway, on to more pressing matters. We need to put a stop to the Ascendant pursuing you. And I think I know how to do that.

The Galorndon Core is an uninhabited planet located within the system of the same name. The planet’s atmosphere is known for generating severe electromagnetic storms.

Correct, it’s a highly volatile area when it comes to transporters and the like, and has even been known to interfere with humanoid nervous systems. A fascinating nook of our galaxy. The answer lies there.

I theorize that if you can somehow lure the Ascendant into the Galorndon Core’s atmosphere and force it into stasis, the electromagnetic interference may disrupt the stasis process.

Understood. We will attempt to lure the Ascendant to the Galorndon Core.

While it was an arduous process, it is now safe to assume that the Ascendant will no longer be capable of pursuing us.

However, if only one Ascendant was capable of causing us so much disruption and enduring so much physical hardship to reach us, one can only imagine what an entire militia of them would be capable of.

We cannot allow Section 31 to complete the Ascendant Project. Their hold over the Baelosians must be relinquished.

Commander! I couldn’t get a damn word in while you were over there. Please, please tell me that the Ascendant has not been destroyed.

Your theories were correct – the Ascendant’s stasis protocol was interrupted amidst the electromagnetic radiation of the Galorndon Core.

Its vessel has been abandoned there, but the Ascendant remains dormant and contained within the confines of our brig. We will arrange to have it moved to secure confinement for your analysis.

As prophetic as you are useful, Maia. You would be wise to never let this one go, Commander. The foresight and intelligence of this A.I. may be vital to saving the Baelosian people.

We’ve had more time to analyse the Ascendant Project – it’s a mere adaptation of my gene therapy research, and not a particularly sophisticated one at that.

Combined with our samples obtained from Luden, this sample of the Ascendant’s blood may finally complete the chain of our research and help us to develop a “vaccine” for the Baelosians.

There is still work to be done, but we’re one step closer to finally helping them. You’ve done some great work here today, Commander. You should return to your Station and get some rest.

My people and I are going to keep working here. Our research under Section 31’s orders was the catalyst for all of this horror. I won’t rest until it stops once and for all.

Commander, I have taken the liberty of having the Ascendant beamed to our brig. Lifesigns are fluctuating – it would appear that the Ascendant’s stasis protocol has been corrupted.
