- Please forgive my colleague. We’ve been stolen from, and a clue led us here. It was a red herring, apparently.

- Dialogue
- Ah, well then, perhaps I can help. You’re not the only ones who’ve had ideas stolen from you. A local lad – Firthra – was at one of those shark tank things not too long ago.
- Objective ID
- 1,131,921,617

- Character
- Engthra
- Dialogue
- Had some highfalutin idea that was going to change the galaxy, or so he thought. Don’t ask me what it was, I’ve no head for that sort of thing.

- Then perhaps we just speak with him directly.

- Done. The decryption was obfuscating a signal. It originates in the Tovla system.

- Can you tell us what happened?

- Character
- Firthra
- Dialogue
- Aye, well, I was all set. Was sure I was going to get funding for the gravity gloves. Well, seems like the wrong people heard about it. My data just disappeared, all my designs, all my work.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Firthra
- Dialogue
- Well, I wasn’t going to be deterred. I pitched my idea, and there was interest, too. But I had nothing to back it up with. My designs were gone.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Firthra

- And I looked like a crook out to pull the wool over the investors’ eyes.

- Well, wouldn’t you know it, a few months later, I saw a knockoff of my designs being sold on the market! I was livid.

- Well, let me tell you, that was hard information to find. But find it I did, with no small amount of work and cost to myself.

- Well? Tell us!

- I’d be happy to! You seem like people of means yourselves, though, so why don’t you help out a struggling businessman while you’re at it?

- You are trying to shake us down in our moment of crisis? You, who have gone through the same thing? Have you no shame?
- Objective ID

- Character
- Firthra
- Dialogue
- Nope. I also have no money, but you could really help me get back on my feet. How about 4M Dilithium in exchange for the information you want?

- Character
- Darila
- Dialogue
- No need to shout. I managed to make some contacts, for your information. There was a lot of interest in our idea. Maybe even some potential investors who will be at our pitch today.

- See? There was no need to worry. None at all. Now. Let’s run through this presentation a few times before we leave.

- Where… Where are the designs?

- They’re not here, Darila. The file’s just… gone.

- I’m not playing! The designs, my designs, they’re missing. And I think I can guess why.
- Objective ID

- Character
- Darila
- Dialogue
- Now, let’s not jump to conclusions. Perhaps the data has simply become corrupted, or–

- Character
- Tomothy
- Dialogue
- The data isn’t corrupted, Darila. It’s been stolen.

- Well, all the same! Let us have the Independent take a look at it. If you will?

- Well, here we are, and I cannot help but feel like we have not fully considered this.

- What is there to consider? We’re here to get our designs back.

- Darila
- Dialogue
- And they are simply going to part with that data?

- Character
- Tomothy
- Dialogue
- You’re the one that’s been pushing this so hard! Now you’re getting cold feet? The Commander is here to protect us. Let’s go get what’s ours.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Firthra
- Dialogue
- Well, now, I can veritably feel my shoulders lightening and my tongue loosening. The group that stole from me is called the Ferengi Consortium.
- Objective ID
- 633,648,231
- Phase
- dialogue_start
- Character
- Firthra
- Dialogue
- Now, I tried to take my case to the local authorities, but they weren’t able to do anything about it. My reputation was already in ruin, and the Consortium are hard to pin down.
- Objective ID

- And where can we find these Ferengis?
- Objective ID

- Firthra
- Dialogue
- No idea. Like I said, they’re good at what they do.
- Objective ID

- Phase

- Character
- Maia
- Dialogue
- Perhaps… Yes. The red herring was hiding something deeper. A signal pointing to Stradania.

- Character
- Tomothy
- Dialogue
- That must be where the Consortium makes their base. Set a course, Commander.
