So what have we got, Zeta?

Apos Zeta
Dialogue
Given the fascinating significance of the Weeping Scar, I am certain that we need to search through the ancient ruins deep within the forests on Menukom’s southern hemisphere.

Dialogue
The Scar is an icon of the long dead Bazarazaran civilization. As you may recall, the Bazarazaran believed that controlled bloodletting was a pathway to the divine.

Funnily enough, no, I don’t recall, but please, go on.

Dialogue
Well, my research has shown me that the seat of the Bazarazaran theocracy was the giant temple city at the heart of the southern forests.

Of course, the temple will now be no more than crumbling remnants serving only as the punctuation to the larger story of nature’s relentless expansion.

You’re saying the place is overgrown.

I am indeed saying the place is overgrown. But I have plotted the best path through.

Then we should beam down. You want to tag along?

Very much, yes. I may find clues to the location of my own Creator.

Then let’s go.

It’s nice when everything goes so smoothly. The Scar will fetch a tidy sum when we pass through Exchange Central.

Agreed. We may even be able to purcha… Masriad, what is the matter? Your face…

I… I don’t… I feel something. There’s… Gaaaah!

Well, the crew are happy. We sold the Weeping Scar for a lot of money.

Happy enough to keep them distracted from what happened to you?

What the hell was that? Why did I black out?

Dialogue
I think you know. Why don’t you describe it to me?
Objective ID
1,749,465,496
Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
I felt, I don’t know, some kind of interdimensional vibration, like… existential pins and needles.
Objective ID
1,749,465,496
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Vael
Dialogue
Existential pins and needles. I like that. Yes, a very good way to put it. You know that sensation, Masriad.
Objective ID
1,749,465,496
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Yes, it’s the feeling I get when we’re close to a parallel dimension crossover. I’m guessing it’s another aspect of our singular nature.
Objective ID
1,749,465,496
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Vael
Dialogue
Exactly. The sensation is something akin to what we feel when we use our ability to see into the Mirror Universe.
Objective ID
1,749,465,496
Phase
dialogue_end
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Yes! That’s it, exactly! But we can only do that when we are in a dream state. I was awake this time.

Vael

We are sensitive to these things, Masriad.

What do you think caused it?

I do not know, Masriad. I do not know.

Sorry for the scare, everyone.

What the hell was that, Masriad? You just collapsed.
Objective ID
1,749,465,496
Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Maybe an adverse reaction to one of those bug stings down on Menukom.
Objective ID
1,749,465,496

Byr
Dialogue
That does not seem likely. Nobody else was affected.

We all have very different biologies.

Look, guys, the important thing is I’m back on my feet and looking forward to making some money.

At last! Somebody talking my language. So, are we ready to head for Exchange Central?
Objective ID

Masriad
Dialogue
We are. Let’s go see who’s in the market for an ancient religious icon.

Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
You’re good at lethal innovations, Byr. Don’t you have anything for all these damn bugs?
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase

Character
Byr
Dialogue
Why would I? These bugs are doing an important job. Annoying you.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Something troubling you, Zeta?
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
I was just thinking. The etchings and carvings we have seen along the way so far… they would only confirm my people’s belief that the Divine Creator is a malign entity.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
All these depictions of violence, of blood and human sacrifice as a means to enlightenment. What kind of a God would make such terrible demands on their followers?
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Don’t let it worry you, sister. In my experience, these old cultures weren’t usually guided by a god, but by someone claiming to speak for them.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
For once, I would agree. When it comes to greed and cruelty, the mortal world would outperform the celestial every time.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
It is kind of you all to say so.
Objective ID

Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Hey, what’s that over there?
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
It looks like the entrance to a tomb. Perhaps this is what we’re looking for.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
We should open it.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase

Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
Looking at the age of that thing, I’d say there was no need for me to do anything. That door would turn to dust if you sneezed on it.
Objective ID

Byr
Dialogue
Allow me. Ouch!
Objective ID
1,784,027,775

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Byr! What is it?
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
I imagine it was once a poisoned arrow. However, time has transformed it into a mildly irritating twig. I think we can safely assume we can survive any remaining traps.
Objective ID

Character
Apos Zeta
Dialogue
I see it. There, just beyond the entrance.
Objective ID

Character
Dajash Tolra
Dialogue
We can just reach in and take it.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
I’m not sure we need to risk that.
Objective ID
1,784,027,775
Phase

Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Toli, come in. We’ve found the Weeping Scar. I’m throwing a communicator on it. Lock on to the coordinates and beam it and the rest of us back on board. We have what we came for.
Objective ID

Toli
Dialogue
Hey, Byr, I always meant to ask. How come you’re persona non grata on your homeworld?
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
A simple difference of opinion.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Toli
Dialogue
About what?
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
They thought they were right and I was wrong.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Toli
Dialogue
That’s not a lot to go on. What exactly did they think you were wrong about?
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
A trivial matter involving genetic experimentation on prisoners.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Toli
Dialogue
I’m thinking that’s not as trivial as you’re making out.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
Well, it would have been trivial had they not escaped into the general population of Andoria and started biting everybody.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Toli
Dialogue
I think I heard about that. Wait! No! Are you… Doctor Zombie?
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
A ridiculous name, and factually incorrect. They were not “zombies”, as the media put it.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Toli
Dialogue
Didn’t they infect each other and become mindless brain-eating monsters? Sounds pretty zombie-like to me.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Byr
Dialogue
Because you aren’t steeped in the sciences as I am. You’re an ignoramus.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Toli
Dialogue
A handsome ignoramus.
Objective ID

Phase

Byr
Dialogue
Subjective taste is not empirical.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
Ah, here you both are. Come with me. I have a new job for us. This time, the target is the Weeping Scar, a valuable religious icon gathering dust on Menukom, an abandoned world in the Lanaj system.
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
This artifact, however, has no one to return it to, and is therefore worth a handsome little profit for the entire crew.
Objective ID

Character
Toli
Dialogue
I’ll let my tailor know. He’s a genius with cloth. Maybe you know him? An odd Cardassian operating out of a space station near Bajor?
Objective ID
213,490,474
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Masriad
Dialogue
You’ll have to introduce us. I’m always on the lookout for a good tailor. For now, though, we’re heading for Lanaj.
