Indeed. This crew has connections to every major group in the Margins. Everyone leveraged their connections to make sure this would be a success.

It was not difficult to convince House Sov to send representatives. The Margins would not have survived without the synths. To ignore their continued plight would be the height of dishonor.

I’ll be honest. The Forsaken Council is still wary of you. A hold-over from the Alpha Quadrant. But their commitment to acceptance and tolerance is sincere. They’ll come around.

As for the Thallorans, we’ve got your back. You’ve always accepted us, so we’re on your side. You can count on that. Hell, we barely understand why the rest of the galaxy is still so set against you.

Fear, prophecy, prejudice… Misunderstandings that have spanned generations. But even we must admit that the stories we were told are just that – stories. We are beginning to, at least.

Alas, I fear that my people only back winners. Some colony Mayors have expressed their hesitant support. None elected to join us.

Transmit on an open frequency, Commander… Thank you all for gathering here today. We appreciate you coming out, whether you support our cause or not. Thank you for listening.

We’re here today to raise awareness of a topic that has been a source of contention since people like us existed – synth rights.

Alexis
Dialogue
I use the word “person” with intent, here. A synth is all of these things by design. We have likes and dislikes, we have friends and family.

Character
Alexis
Dialogue
Our bodies are constructed, yes. But what is an organic body if not a biological machine? The material is distinct, but the result is the same – a “person”. So I ask you–

Are we really so very different?

Selyr
Dialogue
…Of course we are. You call yourself a person, but you’re not. You’re merely the imitation of one. You can reason, sure. Better than we can, probably. But the true test of a person is emotion.

Last I checked, synths don’t truly feel. Well? Do you?

In our own way.

No, then. Boy, are you convincing, though. You’ve come to our rescue, made sure we needed you. Now you’re here playing the victim, pulling the wool even further over our eyes.

Phase

Character
Selyr
Dialogue
Well, I see right through you, and I know what you’re trying to do. You’ll convince us you’re safe. You’ll make yourselves indispensable. You’ll take over quietly, and before we know it, you’ll be running things.

What an outlandish theory. Your fear is unfounded. All we want – all we have ever wanted – is to live in peace. Yet for as long as we have existed, you have used us, abused us, hated us… hunted us.

It took an interdimensional virus to stop you. Foolishly, we helped you weather it, and your open hostility eased to mistrust. Still, you said, we must prove that you can trust us.

If all our work in the past few months did not accomplish that, then I fear nothing will.

The first thing you’ve said that makes sense. We will never accept you. We will never trust you, and you are right not to trust us.

We’ll get her, Alexis. But we need to get past her sycophants first. To battle stations. Evasive maneouvres!

It appears that further thanks are in order. Selyr did her best to undermine this rally, but she did not succeed. If any of you identified with what she said, I ask that you spend some time examining why.

Now, enough about her. We are here to discuss synth rights, and we have all seen before our eyes why this is an important topic.

I know some of you are still wary. It takes time to dismantle long-held beliefs. But I ask that you try. Because us synths here in the Margins, we are the lucky ones.

Is that for us to decide?

Maybe not… I just ran her name through a Section 31 database–

You still have access to that?

Let’s just say they forgot to revoke it and I forgot to tell them. Anyway, it looks like Selyr’s made quite a few enemies down over the years.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Cillian
Dialogue
She finds a hot topic, fans the flames of hatred, cons bigots into funding her cause. She’s been responsible for two riots in the Margins – an anti-refugee protest, an anti-vaccine one…

Now the synths. What isn’t she against?

I’d wager she doesn’t care either way. She likes spreading chaos and getting good money for it.

Character
Cillian
Dialogue
Well, she had a colorful career before the Margins. One I think Section 31 will be interested in discussing with her. I’ll tip them off, for old times’ sake.

What should we do with her until then? Punish her for her crimes? Confine her to the Brig?

Leave her where she is. Her followers are under control and her ship is disabled. She is not going anywhere, and we are not wasting any more time on her.

Stop this madness. Call off your followers and turn yourself in. We will not harm you.

See, that won’t work with her narrative. You need a villain, right Selyr? First it was the Thallorans, then it was the vaccine, then, naturally, the synths. Who’s next?

I’m only looking out for the people of the Margins. They don’t understand the dangers of listening to the wrong person.

Let’s just stop and think about this, Alexis. We didn’t get very far the last time we tried this. What do you think has changed?

Character
Alexis
Dialogue
Well, we are no longer in the middle of a feud between the Romulan Empire and the Order of Ganmadan, for one. We don’t have to worry about an angry fleet turning up this time.

I wouldn’t bet on that. Plenty of other people have a problem with us.

Well, that is true. But fewer than before. Things are changing, Lee. Now is our time.

All we have to do is get to Hodozia. The Commander and the rest of the crew are even here to support us. Everything is going to be fine.
