You see this debris field? Its hull matches no records in the known galaxy. It’s made of a material I’ve never seen before. What do you make of it, Commander?

Wait. My scans are picking up something from the debris. A signal of some kind. Running an isolation algorithm to determine the source.

You won’t fool me. I’ve seen holovids before, you know! This deal is off. Homicidal machines are not part of a healthy business relationship.

Commander, while the signal was… interacting with my core systems, I was able to isolate a single string consisting of several numbers and letters.

After a thorough scan of the debris, I find it highly likely that this string is an identification number. Specifically, the identification number for the destroyed ship before us.

I am detecting an Orion vessel in the system. It appears to be a scavenger ship. Attempting to hail them, now.

You trying to steal from our scrap, Independent? This is Orion territory and nobody takes anything from us! Looks like we’ll have to teach you a lesson.

Ah, Commander, I’m glad that I was able to reach you. Word on the warp trail is that you are quite the avid collector of shall we say… antiquities.

We have come across a number of artifacts in our travels. Are you aware of another such artifact?

Dialogue
As a matter of fact, I am. It just so happens that one of my salvage crews came across quite an interesting piece recently. I can’t make any sense of it, but it certainly seems fascinating.

Suffice to say, then, that it is one of a kind. I assumed that someone with your appreciation of the finer things would be interested.

You can find it and myself in the Andvaris system. Meet me here and we can work out the price of business.

From what the scavenger said, it would seem as though the Orions have been scavenging here for some time.

We should travel to Orion Prime and speak with the Syndicate directly. Perhaps there we can find some answers.
