- Commander, I hope this message finds you well. Better than we are at least. Since that last battle with the new V’ger, things are a right old mess – and I’m not just talking about wreckage-strewn systems.

- I even heard the good doctor has been officially reprimanded by Starfleet for his… less than stellar ambassadorial skills. There’s no two ways about it, he has seriously jeopardized the peace accords!

- Anyway, I’m an engineer, which means I’ve got problems that I can actually fix. My repair teams are busy across the fleet – alas, no ship can be spared from the V’ger blockade to go into dry dock.

- Commander, the real I.K.S. Amar was destroyed twenty years ago, on the edge of Klingon space, by the original V’ger intruder – as recorded by the Epsilon IX listening post, before it too was destroyed.

- Dialogue
- Thus, only the original V’ger would be capable of bringing it back in replicated form. Yet we believed we were in conflict with another V’ger entity. This is highly concerning.

- That’s the spot! The Enterprise fought several K’t’inga-class Battle Cruisers at those coordinates, though their debris might have drifted somewhat, given its proximity to those binary stars.

- The funny thing is, according to my sensor logs, they were all copies of a single vessel: the I.K.S. Amar. See if you can find any hull markings that match that identification.

- Captain Scott, you mentioned in your message that you were conducting an investigation. Does this relate to the replicated ships manufactured by the V’ger intruder?

- Aye, it does at that. One very specific replicated ship in particular: the V’ger Fighter configuration – those massive ones we encountered late in the battle.

- As you know, this new V’ger can scan and replicate its enemies, making them indistinguishable from the real thing, except at the molecular level. Both people and ships!
- Objective ID

- Dialogue
- But other than deploying its own unique cloaking tech across the armada, it didn’t show much in the way of original engineering. At least not until the V’ger Fighter turned up.

- If you can bring me back some choice pieces of wreckage from Avofall, I promise I’ll share my findings with you. Now, I must get back to it. The Enterprise’s warp core won’t realign itself!

- Things are still quiet in the V’ger’s energy cloud, so we need to complete these patch-up jobs on the fleet while we still can.

- The Enterprise and Excelsior didn’t fare too badly, but the Leondegrance sure took a beating – to the tune of 690M Tritanium! Repairs in the field are expensive.
