Well, Commander, your methods are alien to me but I cannot deny the results. These samples will help accelerate Khan’s research into the singularities here.

If he can discover the power behind dark matter, nothing will be able to stop his rise to power. When that happens, you will have to re-examine that moral code of yours.

Yes, that will do nicely. This should allow me to continue my research for a while longer. The dark matter samples are all yours, Commander.

It irks me that we would do business with someone so… beneath us. She was willing to sell her principles for some measly Tritanium. Some things in this galaxy never change.

If you want the samples, you’ll need to pay me for them. 30,000 Tritanium should be enough to cover my losses, I think.

You cannot seriously be considering this, Commander. Disable the fool’s life support and pry the dark matter from their dead hands if you have to.

Commander, we’ve been having some trouble locating large concentrations of dark matter. What we do find is either too unstable to mine or too diluted to make a difference.

However, Otto found something while he was out scouting. What looks like a research ship, actively gathering clusters of dark matter we thought too unstable to approach.

We have no idea what technology they have that allows them to do it, but that doesn’t matter nearly as much as getting the samples that it’s already taken.
