Help us to help you, Xurl. Tell us about the mining field.

Dialogue
I do not see you being any more successful than your predecessors, but very well. The Thama system is – or was – in Schrak territory.

Dialogue
I will allow that it is the Egoni who first identified the Dilithium deposits there, though they did so by conducting a number of unauthorized mining surveys. Snooping, in other words. Typical Egoni.

Dialogue
They came to us with the hand of friendship outstretched, proposing a joint venture. They would mine the field, and we would profit as the lawful owners. But over time they grew greedy.

Xurl
Dialogue
They began doctoring the profits so that the Schrak saw less and less of what was rightfully ours. When we tried to end this farce, the Egoni dug their heels in. Still, we tried to avoid a conflict.

Dialogue
For a while we went in fruitless circles, victims of the Egoni bureaucratic process. Nothing changed. So we grew more insistent and, eventually, combative. That is when the Egoni went crying to Starfleet.

I see, and I empathize with your frustration, truly. But I need you to give us a little more time to resolve this without bloodshed. We are very close to getting the mining field shut down, and then–

Fine, fine. Play at politics, Captain Pike, for all the good it will do you. When you eventually fail, the Schrak will be waiting.

It won’t come to that, Xurl. Get us back to Thama, Ortegas. We have a signature to collect.

Here you are. The requisition to close down the mining field in Thama, filled out and signed by the relevant parties.

Indeed? Let me just verify that you have it properly filled out. One small mistake, and the whole form must be redone.

Well, it all seems in order…

Something the matter?

…No. This will be filed and reviewed accordingly. You can expect to be contacted in three to five business months.

Business MONTHS?

The Schrak have agreed to stand down. For now.

…I see. So they are still there, waiting to pounce. You have resolved nothing, in other words.

We are not mercenaries, Tuvell. You hardly expected us to assassinate your enemies.

Oh, no, indeed! That would be quite ridiculous. Though, it would have saved me some trouble.

Signature, Tuvell. Now.

But you see, Captain, nothing has changed.

Pike
Dialogue
My patience is wearing thin. Sign this requisition, or I will let the Schrak know that we have failed in our diplomatic efforts. They are chomping at the bit as it is.

Tuvell
Dialogue
I hardly think a few Schrak swine could take us on.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Pike
Dialogue
I think you underestimate them, Tuvell. They have been holding back in the interest of avoiding an all-out conflict, but they are ready to wage war with the Egoni over this. And Starfleet will not stop them.

Are you willing to take that risk?

Are you threatening me, Pike?

I am stating the facts as I see them. Now, are you going to sign this requisition, or are you going to ready yourself for battle?

You are quite the politician after all… Fine. Give me the form.

Now, that wasn’t so hard, was it? Commander, let’s head back to Januu.

Alright, then. Patch them through, Uhura. And let’s all cross our fingers that the Schrak are a little less… convoluted than their neighbors.

We know who you represent. We also know that you are in league with the Egoni. Have they sent Starfleet here to do their dirty work?

Pike

Not at all. We are simply trying to find a peaceful resolution to your conflict with the Egoni.

And that is why you opened fire on our ships?

You might recall that your people shot first, Captain. Now, please, tell us your side of the story. We are here to mediate.

You have done significant damage to our fleet, Captain. Give us 3M Tritanium to repair our ships, and then we can talk.
