Analyzing data… I have retrieved the information about all of the ships that entered this system and scavenged the Romulan and Federation vessels.

Out of all the cargo vessels, only one was transporting the bodies. It left right before our arrival and headed to the Dantak 6 system. It should still be there, Commander.

I have the cargo vessel in sight, and it has also noticed us, Commander. Opening a channel.

We wish to retrieve just one body from you. It is on Level 17, section 7V. Our client wishes to conduct an honorable funeral for the deceased instead of letting the body be traded in negotiations.

We trade Romulan dead at the negotiation tables to weaken their resolve. But, stranger, you speak the right words. This ambassador died as true Suvwl'.

Death in battle is the right way to go. If the one who sent you wants a proper burial, this soldier deserves it. You can beam the body onboard, stranger, but just that one and no other.

The body was successfully transported to the cargo bay. However, I must note that this body, distinguishable from others by a unique necklace with a beacon, belongs to a Vulcan.

That could be a mistake, or the necklace was displaced, but there is no option except to deliver the body to Citau. Setting course to Morta-640.

Sofaak, my light of the star and the comet tail's shine, I grieve your departure, yet I accept its inevitability. Parted and never parted. Never and always touching and touched.

We should leave, Commander. Citau has to take her time to bid farewell to Sofaak, and, as human scribe William Shakespeare wrote, “Grief best is pleased with grief's society.”

As you suggested, we used the beacon signal in the necklace to find your partner's body, among many others. We beamed it aboard safely, but we must warn you that this body is…

Vulcan? Yes, I know. That’s why I didn’t want any attention drawn to it. I met Sofaak during one of the Federation peace talks with the Council, and we have hidden our connection ever since.

He was about to leave Starfleet and join me somewhere safe, somewhere away from the fighting… with just a few missions to finish, but… I guess fate is cruel to those who defy it.

The least I can do is let him rest, let him finally go, and that’s where you helped me. Please, bring us to the Wigg system. That’s a special place for me – for us – and I want to bury him there.

I won’t wait any longer. He deserves a proper funeral. The battle happened in the Hegh'Qun system, and there is still a chance that the Klingon vessel with the captives and bodies is still around.

Commander, the system is full of Klingon battleships. According to my scans, there has been a skirmish. Klingon forces appear to have ambushed Romulan and Federation ships mid-battle.

If we disable a Klingon ship, I can access their computer memory, possibly to triangulate the location of the lobi crystal necklace.
