- Spock, this world is completely automated. The whole sphere is covered in machinery.

- Spock
- Dialogue
- Are you perceiving any kind of sentience or awareness, any governing intelligence with which we might productively communicate?

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- None at all. It is as though an ancient wind-up toy has been left to run down. But this must be what Z3N wanted us to find.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- I think we can safely infer from the presence of so much technology in this system that Z3N is implicated.

- Dialogue
- I would also further surmise that the complete absence of life suggests a degree of hostility it would be wise to –

- Dialogue
- Spock! Three ships approaching in attack formation. No lifesigns detected. They are locking weapons. Battle stations.

- Hailing the Enterprise. We are here, as requested, Science Officer Spock.

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Just Spock will suffice. Your punctuality is most gratifying and, given what I have been led to believe regarding such matters, a pleasant surprise.

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Gratifying and pleasant? I thought Vulcans were unemotional. Perhaps I should recalibrate my systems.

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- An artificial intelligence with a sense of humor? Fascinating. If I may, we have two messages, both directed at you specifically, Maia.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- To me?
- Objective ID
- 1,443,320,538
- Phase

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Indeed. The first is an invitation, transmitted unencrypted to the Enterprise from what is implied by the message to be an entity much like yourself.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- It reads, ‘Maia, word has reached me that there is another such as I roaming the galaxy. Inorganic, manufactured intelligences are rare in this galaxy, precious.

- Phase

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- I would meet with you, to share our experiences and perhaps something more. The carbon units carrying this message have also been given a set of coordinates to guide you.

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- This is your first step of a journey I hope we shall eventually take together. I am eager for our conversation to begin. Z3N.’

- Zen?

- Dialogue
- Z, 3, N, to be precise. “Zen”. It’s designation, we assume.

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- I am intrigued. Entities like me are indeed most uncommon. There was a second message.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Yes, from Captain Pike. He wishes me to inform you that Starfleet is not a postal service and he is not a postman. Please endeavor to maintain your correspondence another way.

- Noted. Then we shall be on our way.

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Please. I would like to accompany you if I may. The chance to study the interaction between two intelligent artificial constructs is one I find difficult to ignore.

- Thank you, Maia. Be advised. The Enterprise will be behind us at all times, maintaining a discrete distance, in case anything should go awry.

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- The coordinates led us to this place, but there is nothing here. No planet, not in this spot; no asteroid, not even a beacon or satellite.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- Z3N would not have led you here for no purpose. I believe its desire to meet you is sincere. I suggest we conduct a scan of this entire region. There must be something it wishes you to see.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- I concur. Scanning now. Scan complete. Interesting. There are no lifesigns on any of the worlds in this system, yet there are seventeen Class M planets just in the near vicinity.

- This sector should be teeming with life.

- Dialogue
- Interesting. And not a little disturbing. Have your sensors detected anything else?
- Objective ID
- 1,967,651,895
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Yes. A number of worlds contain abandoned infrastructure, cultural and technological, but devoid of any power source. Apart from that there is nothing. Wait.

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- On the other side of this sector. I am reading energy signatures emanating from one solitary planet.
- Objective ID

- Spock
- Dialogue
- Then we should set course for this planet immediately.

- Spock, I have uncovered a faint but singular energy signature on the world below. I believe it to be connected to Z3N.

- If we can trace it, perhaps we will be one step closer to finding the entity.

- Congratulations, Maia. Reports of your skills have not been exaggerated.

- Dialogue
- It is a prerecorded message.

- Z3N
- Dialogue
- I hope you found my small test diverting. Be assured, I fully trusted in your capabilities to deal with a few drones.

- Z3N
- Dialogue
- Please, consider your continued existence a tribute on my part. Now, no doubt you wish to study the world below. By all means, learn what you can. We shall speak soon. Sister.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- I am not sure of its motivations, Spock, but perhaps we can discover something here to help us understand how Z3N works.
- Objective ID

- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- I doubt we shall uncover anything more interesting than Z3N considering you its sister, but it would clearly be remiss not to investigate further.
- Objective ID
- 585,659,206
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- I wonder what Z3N considers itself. My brother? My sister?
- Objective ID
- 585,659,206
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Spock
- Dialogue
- An intriguing enquiry. As a construct, you are neither male nor female, yet you manifest as female.
- Objective ID
- 585,659,206
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Gender is fluid, Spock, less choice than it is recognition. I am what I am, but regardless of how I came to be, what I am now may not be what I will be tomorrow.

- And a topic for another time. Shall we begin our surveys?

- I imagine it would not be in our best interests to ignore such a summons. Setting course for the starship now.
