An unfortunate development. What options remain open to us?

I could attempt to recalibrate the sensors in order to pick up the dissipated ion trail, but this could take some time.

Lieutenant, we’ve got a potentially hostile fleet approaching the Merrion at bearing 012-mark-6. Scans have detected that their shields are raised and weapons primed. They don’t look happy to see us.

The ion trail is becoming more condensed, Lieutenant. We may be closing in on the trafficker’s location. The trail appears to be leading us to the Labac system.

Ensign T’laak, status report. Have the ship’s sensors been recalibrated?

Character
T'laak
Dialogue
Affirmative, Lieutenant. We have reacquired the ion trail. The dispersal patterns are consistent with the trail we have been following. This should allow us to resume our pursuit.

The Orion Syndicate. They got the jump on us. Took all of our women and children. They told us that if we don’t bring them more “stock”, then… Well, I’m sure you can imagine what they’d do.

I’m sorry, I had no other choice… I suppose you’re going to take me into custody now?

On the contrary. We’re going to help you.

Lieutenant, we’ve potentially got eyes on our suspect.
Objective ID

Dialogue
Ensign Pierce’s assessment is correct. The vessel's nacelle configuration is compatible with the dispersal patterns of the ion trails we are following.

Character
Lieutenant Saavik
Dialogue
Mister Pierce, hail that ship.

They’re refusing to answer our hails, Lieutenant.

Then we will make them answer. Commander, target that ship and disable its impulse engines.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Pierce
Dialogue
Lieutenant Saavik, there’s something you might find interesting. Our sensors have detected a distinct residual ion trail beginning at bearing 125-mark-46.
Objective ID
567,508,637
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
T'laak
Dialogue
That is not a natural occurrence. An ion trail such as this would likely be left behind by a ship travelling at warp speed.
Objective ID
567,508,637
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lieutenant Saavik
Dialogue
Which means that it could belong to a trafficker’s ship… This may be our only lead. We must follow it.
Objective ID
567,508,637
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Pierce
Dialogue
Given the characteristics of the ion trail, and cross-referencing this direction with local star charts, the ship’s trajectory could likely be leading it to Zhaishka – a nearby star system.
Objective ID
567,508,637
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lieutenant Saavik
Dialogue
Then that’s where we’re headed. Mister Tapert, take us out.

Tapert
Dialogue
Aye, Lieutenant. Laying in a course for the Zhaishka system.

Lieutenant Saavik, we have detected a number of potentially hostile Nausicaan vessels patrolling this system.
Objective ID
658,478,379
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Lieutenant Saavik
Dialogue
Could the traffickers have been these Nausicaans all along?
Objective ID
658,478,379
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
T'laak
Dialogue
Unlikely, Lieutenant. The dispersal patterns of the ion trails we have been following are inconsistent with the dispersal patterns known to be caused by Nausicaan vessel configurations.
Objective ID

Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Pierce
Dialogue
We’re being hailed, Lieutenant. The Nausicaans have noticed that we’re here.

I would like to know what they have to say. On-screen.

Starfleet types don’t normally wander out this way… They usually know better than that. What are you doing here?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Lieutenant Saavik
Dialogue
Greetings. We are following the trail of a captured Starfleet crew. We have reason to believe that the one responsible for their capture may have passed through this system.
