Have you confirmed your findings, Cooper?
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
Yeah. My assumption was correct. The material I found at the site, a superheated crystalised sand, was caused by the appearance of a creature composed of sentient energy waves.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
A creature you have encountered before.
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
Yes. It’s a creature that feeds on belief and its species has been using those unique properties to fake godhood for centuries, probably more.

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Then you know of a way to stop it, presumably.
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
I do. We need to set up an energetic counter-wave and imbue it with its own belief component. In this case, I think a belief in your Commander’s capabilities.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I do not believe the Commander would be comfortable with such a move.
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
The effect would only be temporary. Besides, the Commander’s reputation has already done most of the work for us. Your exploits are a known entity. That means the counter-wave will already resonate.

Phase

Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
It’s exactly what we need. I’ve already taken the liberty of compiling a library of the Commander’s adventures…

Dialogue
Adventures?
Objective ID

Sib Lambda
Dialogue
I may err on the side of caution, but Cooper Jakes has a propensity for the romantic which is most unscientific.
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
And what will this library do?
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
I need you to convert the whole thing into an information wave. Then combine that with the readings I took from the site on Vinram, and use it to recreate the original transmission wave.
Objective ID

Dialogue
Are you sure this will work?
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase

Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
No. But what choice do we have?
Objective ID
1,094,399,977
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
None. Very well. Upload your information wave to my core, while I move the ship into position.

Alright. Here goes… everything!

Maia
Dialogue
Omegron has not found us yet. At least, that is how it seems.

The false god betrays its fallibility.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Perhaps. No ships have approached our location, that is certain.
Objective ID
1,293,837,638
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
I believe the best way to have any chance of defeating Omegron is to investigate the source of its first manifestation. It’s clearly not all-powerful, otherwise we would have been found or destroyed by now.
Objective ID
1,293,837,638
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
We have a chance, if we can get to Vinram, to analyze the source and perhaps ascertain the true nature of Omegron.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Very well, then we must return to Vinram.
Objective ID

I can’t see any other option.

Yes, it’s safely stored at the Temple Laboratory. I’m looking forward to taking a closer look.

I too am eager. With luck, our research may point us towards our ultimate goal of finding the Celestial Trickster and wiping it from the universe.

A joke? Oh, wow. Sib, every day you surprise me.

I will leave you both to it. Farewell, my friends. Call upon us again whenever you need. The Commander always enjoys working with you.

The counter wave is working, Captain Jakes. Listen.

Omegron has been compressed into a single microscopic strand of energy. We can trap this strand in a stasis field.

Phase

Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
Perfect, Maia! And what of the disciples?
Objective ID
357,555,594
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
They are no longer pointing weapons at us. They are, however, chanting and singing the Commander’s name.
Objective ID

Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
Ah, yes, well. That will wear off.
Objective ID

Eventually.
Objective ID

Character
Maia
Dialogue
What do you wish to do with the Omegron energy strand?
Objective ID
357,555,594
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
I would like to take it back to Retha for study. It will provide invaluable insight into the nature of these false gods. If the Commander wouldn’t mind getting us there.
Objective ID
357,555,594
Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
I can confidently state that the Commander wishes to put as much distance between themself and their temporary acolytes out there as possible.
Objective ID
357,555,594
Phase

Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
Ha! Then, if you wouldn’t mind, could you transport us to Retha?
Objective ID

Dialogue
It would be a pleasure, Cooper. The course is laid in. Engaging warp drive.

Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
We need to remove ourselves from this fight ASAP!
Objective ID
495,210,752
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
The barrier is still in place. However, perhaps we can warp across the system and find a place to conceal ourselves while we formulate a plan to deal with Omegron.
Objective ID
495,210,752
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
Is that likely, that we can hide from it?
Objective ID
495,210,752
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Maia
Dialogue
It will provide an interesting test of how far Omegron’s godlike powers stretch. If they can successfully evade its senses, then Omegron will have shown itself not to be so all-knowing after all.
Objective ID
495,210,752
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
If we can get his disciples to see that for themselves, we may be able to break their conditioning. Usually in these cases, if we can diminish the entity’s influence, we can diminish its power.

Very good, Cooper. Engaging warp engines.

Dialogue
Captain Jakes, have you found anything? Neither Omegron or his followers have shown any awareness of your presence on Vinram, but I cannot guarantee how long this state of affairs will continue.
Objective ID
507,624,885
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
Hello, Maia! Actually, yes, I do believe I have found something that could help. Something about the way the sand here has been transformed at the point of Omegron’s emergence.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Cooper Jakes
Dialogue
However, in order to be sure, I need to analyze my findings back on board your vessel.

In truth, Cooper, the sooner you get back within these walls, the better. I have a better chance of ensuring your safety here.

Then by all means, beam us back up. We have what we need.
