This sounds like life. Learning the truth about my past hurt, but it made me cherish my present even more. I should be better than my mother, and care about my true family – the Order.

Wait! Just… I need a second. It is not every day you face a fragment of your suppressed and hidden past. Yut makh… Lu shiar… Qlam wath. Vri glam. Rok khan.

Hmm… I expected Tal Shiar assassins to be a bit more subtle than simply invading my house. Yet you carry no knife, and made no shots to shut my mouth. So, what do you want, stranger?

Kotoma
Dialogue
We are less strangers than you might think… mother. I invaded the archives and searched for my ancestry, only to find your name there. So tell me, why did you sell me to Zhat Vash?

Ah, striking with a cut deeper than that of a knife. So, you must be Kotoma.

I am surprised the Zhat Vash let me keep my name.

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
That was one of my conditions. And the other was omitting your father's name from any records for your own safety. Zhat Vash was happy to buy the child of a politically influential person, so they obeyed.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
But that does not answer your question, does it? I sold you because you are the daughter of political rivals, the product of a dirty scandal that would ruin my career, but above all that – your life.

But you could have…

Dialogue
…let you stay by my side? I wanted to. Yet as soon as my position in the Council started to falter, I was tempted to use you, put your life at risk, so that your father would give way to my ambitions.

Dialogue
We could never be a family, Kotoma. I was your worst enemy, yet I loved you too much, my beautiful baby. Giving you to Zhat Vash was not right, but keeping you with me would have beeen cruel.

While my mind understands why you did that, I doubt my heart ever will.

You are not the first to feel that, my child, yet you do not have to carry the burden of my decision. I wish our lives were different, but what is past is past. I only hope that one day you will forgive me.

Surprisingly, the area is lightly guarded. I was expecting the Zhat Vash to take more care of sensitive information.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Kotoma
Dialogue
Hidden in plain sight. The more guards you place, the more suspicious the place looks. Plus, there’s no need for elaborate security if only a handful of people know about this place's existence.
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
Despite all that, our presence will raise alarms unless you have a way to access the archives.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Kotoma
Dialogue
There is a code system, a password based on an algorithm taught to every agent orally, never written. I can only hope that it still works. But first, we will need to take precautions and conceal our identities.
Objective ID
2,038,602,891
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
We can use the identification number from one of the Zhat Vash vessels we destroyed a few weeks ago – even if our deception is revealed, we might win some time before the guards show up.

Do it. I’ll prepare the code in the meantime.

We need 76,000 Σ-Dilithium to ensure our safety and conceal Kotoma’s biosignature.

Kotoma
Dialogue
Commander, I have a personal request that, I hope, stays between us.
Objective ID
54,780,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Kotoma
Dialogue
With so many troubles lately, I have reconsidered many things, including my past. I was a small child when the Zhat Vash adopted me. I never knew my parents.
Objective ID
54,780,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Kotoma
Dialogue
But now, with everything that has happened… I want to find my real parents, Commander, and find out why I ended up with Zhat Vash.
Objective ID
54,780,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Given the level of Zhat Vash secrecy, this information sounds highly classified. Are you sure there is a way to track your parents down?
Objective ID
54,780,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Kotoma
Dialogue
We, Romulans, hoard information in case we ever need to blackmail someone. There are Zhat Vash archives, well-hidden, but with the information I need.
Objective ID
54,780,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
Would they have data on their current operations? This knowledge would be extremely useful to protect your order and learn more about synths.
Objective ID
54,780,592
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Kotoma
Dialogue
No, nothing that recent. They have a security data gap to ensure that anything of immediate relevance would not be leaked. But my entry into the Zhat Vash is well beyond it.

Phase

Kotoma
Dialogue
The archives are in Caerulum. But take heed, and stay at the outskirts of the system.

Understood. Departing immediately.

We were detected, Kotoma, but the threat has been neutralized. There are approximately four minutes before reinforcements arrive. What is your status?

I have what I came for. Can you beam me up?

Affirmative. Stay where you are. Activating transporters…

Kotoma
Dialogue
I found the papers regarding my parents – or mother, to be exact: a former admiral, a member of the Continuing Committee, an esteemed military advisor, and, most surprisingly, still alive.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Did that satisfy your curiosity?
Objective ID
549,216,276
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Kotoma
Dialogue
No. According to the records, I was, well, sold. Like a slave, or, even worse, an item. Who would possibly sell their own child? It is not enough to know who, Commander. I must know why.

Kotoma

There is a set of coordinates in the files that I can only assume is her last known location. I will talk to her, and then you will be relieved of risking your neck for me.

All quiet for now. Entering the archives… I am in! The Zhat Vash ought to develop a better security system.

You carry a Zhat Vash signature, but I do not see an agent aboard. You have five seconds to explain yourself, stranger.

There is nothing to explain here – this is a Zhat Vash vessel. The agent is on a mission that should not concern you.

Intimidating me will not work, qezhtihn. Your signature belongs to a dead ship. Let me fix that mistake.
