Simple trades make me happy, Independent, even though I do enjoy the thrill of a complex task. But, as promised, I have information on all the recent spatial anomalies.

You have black holes, dark matter nebulas, gravity wells, and supernovas that emerged in the last few months. All I know is on your computer now.

There are multiple objects that could be suitable hideouts for Qs; however, I have found one that differs from the rest.

Despite the lack of any environmental predisposition, a dark matter nebula in the Feqiiep system appeared a few weeks ago. What is more, a supernova emerged at the same time in this sector.

I would assume that the nebula was created, and the supernova’s explosion hid the Freedom Faction’s effort from the Continuum’s eyes. We must depart to Feqiiep and investigate the area.

What can we help you with, Commander? I’m afraid we are limited in our options as long as we’re stuck on this damned planet.

We wanted to talk to Guinan, Captain. The Q Continuum is looking for the Freedom Faction members hiding in the Galaxy, and we need a place to start with.

Guinan’s sensitivity to temporal and spatial changes could point us to the Faction's possible hideout.

I see. Unfortunately, Guinan won’t be able to join you as long as the Takret generals are interested in leeching off of our resources, but we will relay her your request. Commander Data?

“Find Ven in the Exchange. Look for high-gravity anomalies, recent and unexplained. The Q are blinded by overwhelming spatial disturbances. Good luck, Commander.”

They must have sent that ship to steal even more resources from us or to give them a reason to detain the Enterprise once again.

Well, looks like someone attacked my fleet! No warning, no reason, and right after we agreed to settle peace with you, Captain.

The neutralized vessel wasn’t honoring the agreement and threatened us with an inspection.

We’ll investigate this misconduct, but one thing is sure: you have attacked the Takret vessel. Please, Captain, return to the planet’s surface. We have so many things to discuss now.

This is a very peculiar piece of data, Independent. And a very expensive one.

This time, I’ll spare you from battling the Eclipse thugs. Instead, I would appreciate your investment in my own bodyguard fleet. They need some retrofitting, and I‘m eager to save on plating.

My scans show that this dark matter nebula is identical to the one registered in Federation space. The Freedom Faction must have replicated it.

However, the spatial disturbance from the nebula interferes with our communication systems. We must enter the anomaly to contact the Q there, but not before our plating is reinforced.

4,000 3* Raw Ore should be enough to protect our hull from metreon radiation within the nebula.
