Finally! Yes! You’re uniquely qualified to deal with a major emergency at the site of our new colony in Esteris. You’ve encountered a species known as the Swarm before, I believe.

Well, there’s a lone Swarm soldier who has commandeered a ship. It’s in orbit of our colony, holding position. I’d like you to try to get through to it. Our communications have all been ignored.

Greetings. I apologize for the situation in Esteris. I have been working on a study to understand the behavior of Swarm soldiers. This one was programmed to visit your planet and simply return.

Let’s just say that I’m no longer welcome in the Empire. My own people are not too fond of my research. This side project is a defensive measure. I happened upon a crashed Swarm transport and…

Well, long story short, the soldiers are compatible with my research. Hand over the body and I will deactivate the others, have them recalled. I will shelve the project for now, based on your experience.

What of the Swarm? What will become of them? You can’t simply detain them here.

Would you have me set them free to visit your colony unrestricted? No, I think I will “simply detain them.” For now, at least. Now, if that is all.

Commander, between you and me, I don’t trust that Klingon to stop there. I came out here to deep space to get away from Starfleet and the Federation, but I think it’d be worth filing a report.

I have discovered a neural link device within the creature’s helmet. I believe this is some sort of sophisticated behavioral manipulator device.

Nothing so complex. Hello there! I’m speaking to you from a research station in the Shaz system. I see you’ve destroyed my little science experiment.

Hmmm, that wasn’t meant to happen. Can you bring the corpse back here to me so I can analyze it? I’d hate for any of the other ones to turn violent.

The Swarm soldier appears to have taken control of a Klingon ship. Whether it was acquired in combat with the Klingon Empire or not is unclear… I will open communications.
