Commander, we are receiving an incoming transmission originating from within Federation territory. Patching through to the bridge.

Hello there, Independent. Despite my protests, it seems that today I’m a representative of the Federation Archaeology Council. And I may have a job for you.

Well, that all depends – how familiar are you with the Tirikans?

The Tirikans are a race of humanoids hailing from Veridian I. They have recently achieved warp capability, allowing for their introduction to the ways of the Federation.

Ah, I had no idea that I was speaking with such a learned xenoanthropologist! An astute observation, Independent. I knew that you were the right person for this job.

Now, I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but every 40 years or so, a celestial wonder is visible from the surface of Veridian I. This wonder goes by another name among Federation circles – The Nexus.

While the nature of the Nexus itself is far beyond our current understanding, the Tirikans worship and revere it. Every 40 years, they gather to celebrate its appearance and pray to it for good tidings.

It’s nice to still be in one piece. Still, I never would have thought you’d have folded so easily… Anyway, if we’re done here, we have a festival to attend. Let’s get over to Veridian I.

There it is, Independent. That energy ribbon is known as the Nexus. The Tirikans frequently gather to celebrate its appearance and pray to it for good tidings.

Surely an energy ribbon several lightyears from the surface of their planet could not be responsible for their good fortune?

You know, you’re probably right. But it inspires them. It gives them hope. That collective sense of hope can be vital to the prosperity of even the most primitive of races. Just look at how humanity fared.

Now, as attractive as that energy ribbon may be, we should be sure to keep our distance. When the El-Aurians were attacked by the Borg, two ships carrying refugees were destroyed by that very ribbon.

Yes, what happened to those ships and the people aboard them was terrible, and is a fate I’m keen to avoid. If we’re done admiring the Nexus, we should–

Dammit. I thought we’d get here before they did. It’s the Syndicate. They know that the reemergence of the Nexus attracts tourists from far and wide. This is a shakedown.

We have two choices. We either fight our way out of here, or we try to give them what they want and hope that they decide to go their own way without any further trouble.

They say that the Nexus can feel your innermost thoughts and desires, and use them to shape the reality around you. If we wait any longer, I’m going to have to ask the Nexus to take a few years off me.
