They are also aware of our presence here. Several clumpships have raised their shields. Their flagship is attempting to hail us. Patching through to the bridge.

Of course. As Independent operators, we understand the importance of observing salvage rights. However, there is just one component aboard the station that we require. If you could–

Ah, there you are. I trust that you haven’t forgotten me, Commander. Because I certainly haven’t forgotten you.

You are the Independent operator who required our assistance in order to obtain the components necessary to make vital repairs to your station.

Why are you continuing to mask your transmission? It would be mutually beneficial for us to know how to address one another.

A wise storyteller once stated that ”Solitude is sometimes best society.” It remains in my better interests to mask my transmissions, Commander. We may never know who could be eavesdropping.

But enough pleasantries, I find myself in further need of your services. Do you accept the contract?

That will depend on the terms of said contract.

You truly are the cautious type, aren’t you? To err on the side of caution may keep you from harm, Commander. However, it also keeps you from experience. From life itself!

Allow me to inject a little adventure into your days. Thanks to your previous service, my station is almost fully functional. However, I still require one more vital component – a shield modulator.

I just so happen to know that a derelict station remains adrift in the Estrada system. According to my intel, you should be able to find a shield modulator there, and in serviceable condition.

I knew that you would. However, it would benefit you to know that the station has been adrift for quite some time. Other scavengers may have already set their sights on the bounties within. Remain vigilant.

You're an anomaly, Commander. The DTI tolerates you because, frankly, it's in our best interests to do so. However, this time you've gone too far. You’ve meddled in affairs far beyond your comprehension.

Across all timelines, there are universal constants – events that must come to pass in order for that timeline to remain stable. One such constant is the defeat of Khan at the hands of one James T. Kirk.

Character
Agent Jameson
Dialogue
In many timelines known to the DTI, Khan and his people are banished to a planet known as Ceti Alpha V as punishment for their attempts to hijack the USS Enterprise… But not this one.

In that anomalous “splinter” timeline, the navigational computer aboard Khan’s shuttle was mistakenly programmed to take them to Ceti Alpha VI instead of Ceti Alpha V.

This one deviation has had catastrophic consequences for that timeline. Consequences, which your actions have exacerbated.

Ceti Alpha VI? According to historical logs, that planet was destroyed through an unknown cataclysmic event.

Yes, it should have been. But thanks to this one deviation, those events never came to pass in that timeline.

There, on the surface of Ceti Alpha VI, Khan and his people discovered a derelict Independent station, much like the one we’re standing in right now.

The station’s onboard Progenitor operating system should have reverted to a self-destruct sequence – one that would create a devastating black hole, destroying all traces of the station.

Phase

Character
Agent Jameson
Dialogue
The destruction caused by the station’s self-destruct sequence should have set into motion a chain of events that would destroy not only the station, but also Ceti Alpha VI. However, that never happened…

With their genetically engineered intellect, the Augments subverted the station’s timed self-destruct sequence. Bit by bit, they began to restore the installation to base functionality.

Using the station’s onboard temporal communicator, Khan was able to patch into the Progenitor network. By activating the communicator, he reached out into the stars and time itself for aid.

That’s how Khan found it. The last piece of the puzzle he needed to secure a chance at escaping his imprisonment… You.

Commander, you’ll have to pardon me for dropping by unannounced, but there are pressing matters that require immediate attention from the Department of Temporal Investigations.

Agent Jameson, this is an unexpected visit. What business does the DTI have with us?

According to my intel, you’ve been running operations for an unidentified Independent. Is that correct?
Objective ID

Dialogue
Yes, we have been aiding a fellow Independent operator in making repairs to their station. Why would this prove to be problematic?

Phase

Character
Agent Jameson
Dialogue
It’s more problematic than you could possibly imagine. Tell me, Commander… What does the name “Khan” mean to you?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Maia
Dialogue
Presumably, you are referring to Khan Noonien Singh, leader of a genetically-engineered group of humanoids known as the “Augments”? We have had dealings with Khan in the past.

Yes, you have… More than you know, in fact. I’ll cut to the chase, Commander. Ironically, time is not on our side.

The “Independent” that you’ve been liaising with is none other than Khan himself. However, this is not the Khan that you’ve met before.

As we attempted to explain before you forced our hand, we require a shield modulator from this installation.

That was a wise choice. Thank you. Commander, when you are ready, lay in a course for the station. When we are in position, I will attempt to beam the shield modulator onboard.

The Pakleds have been known to lack the firepower required to back up their intimidation tactics. If we can thin out the herd, the others may be forced to retreat. Prepare to engage.
