They think they can just waltz in here and take credit for our history? We’ll see about that… Hey, you! Independent! I need your help. Maybe they’ll listen to you.

Who is “they”?

The Thallorans. So-called-archaologists. Scoundrels is what they are. They’re stealing, nay, appropriating my culture!

Set a course for Dhaunia, Independent. It’s time we showed them who’s in charge.

Dialogue
The solution seems clear. Both the Thallorans and the Aeonians have a claim on the contents of this site – the former because they found it and have conducted all of the work thus far.
Objective ID

The latter because this find may be of some cultural significance. Why not keep the team of Thallorans who have already made so much progress, but add some Aeonians to help move things along?

That could work. We’d be able to keep an eye out, make sure no one gets sticky fingers.

As long as Mampi and the others aren’t excluded, I see no reason not to work together… As long as your people behave themselves, that is.

Then it is agreed. Edmond, send for a team to join us here. The Commander will supervise the remainder of the dig to ensure that things remain equitable for both sides.

Welcome, one and all! This is a most exciting find, one that asks more questions than it answers. Did Aeonians settle here earlier than was previously thought?

Was this a separate group that was absorbed into those that came after? Were they the vanguard of our civilization? Why don’t we have any records of them? Where is all the lost history?

These are questions I hope to answer alongside my new colleagues. Mampi and his team discovered this site and were instrumental in unearthing the treasures you see before you now.

I am honored. It has been so exciting working with Dr. Jaona. As you might have noticed, we Thallorans don’t have a lot of history in the Margins… So thank you for sharing yours with us.

Things started off a little cool, but once we started doing the work, who we were didn’t matter any more. I think the Aeonians even learned a thing or two from us. Not my first dig, you know.

Nice job, Commander, though we hardly needed an entire museum. This is giving me ideas, though. More exhibits dedicated to local history and culture, perhaps?

Come on, we need all hands on deck if we want to adhere to your rigid timeline. You still want to open the exhibition this evening?

Then make yourself useful! We don’t want our visitors to go hungry or thirsty, now, do we?

There is a museum in the colony below that is rundown but quite grand. With a little work, it would make a fine exhibition space. What do you think?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Ven
Dialogue
Does it matter what I think? Edmond and others like him are just going to use this to further ostracize my people.

None of this would have been possible without Mampi and his crew. You must make sure that is not forgotten.

Indeed. For now, let us focus on what we can do. We will need 50K Σ-Parsteel for the renovations, Commander.

Things are progressing nicely. The site seems to have originally been a burial place, though all that remains now is the dozen or so artifacts that the team has uncovered.

It’s quite the haul. Turns out our people can work together, after all.

So it would seem… Here comes Jaona now with a progress report.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Jaona
Dialogue
Sir, we’ve had a chance to examine the artifacts further and get a rough estimate of their age. They seem to predate the earliest known settlers here in the Margins.

Edmond
Dialogue
Proof of another civilization?
Objective ID
512,909,528
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Jaona
Dialogue
Perhaps. The artifacts include jewelry, some personal trinkets – even something that looks like it could be a captain’s badge. The designs are reminiscent of previous finds in this sector.

Character
Edmond
Dialogue
What do you mean?
Objective ID
512,909,528
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Jaona
Dialogue
Well, this could be proof that there were Aeonian colonies here earlier than anyone realized. It also means that there may be more sites like this, lost history waiting to be rediscovered.
Objective ID
512,909,528

This is huge! Further proof that we’re the rightful inhabitants of the Margins.

Shh! Let me think… We need to share this find with the public. An exhibition of some sort. Yes. Independent, would you do me the honor of finding an appropriate location?

Yes. Me again. I am demanding that you vacate this dig site. You have no right to be here.

Mampi

Says who? We got here first. We conducted the archaeological surveys. We prepared the site. Now you want to swoop in when all the hard work is done? I don’t think so.

I don’t care what you think. You’re no more than thieves stealing our historical artifacts.

That’s reaching, don’t you think? All we know is there’s something under here. No way to know who left it here, or if it’s even worth fighting over.

Got a transmission from Mampi here. Said his team was being harassed by some local zealot.

Isn’t it enough that you’re clogging up our colonies? Do you have to co-opt our history, too?

You can’t just lay claim to everything in the Margins. Your people don’t own everything out here, you know. You didn’t seem to care about this site before.

In fact, Mampi and the others were very much encouraged to go it alone and try to make a home for themselves in this barren, forgotten colony.
