Commander, scans confirm that this structure is Progenitor in origin. This must be the laboratory.

The discovery of this artifact was the birth of Project Qui'Tu. What little data we managed to retrieve from its databases served as our first steps.

And you, K’ulass. Perhaps we will meet again.

On that day, perhaps you will find room on your crew for an old fool of a scientist. Farewell, Commander.

We will not help you, K’ulass. Exploiting the Qui'Tu species would be highly immoral.

What!? Ad’otha has poisoned your mind! Project Qui'Tu is the last hope of our species…

Ad'otha
Dialogue
No, K’ulass. It is not. The future of the Klingon race does not lie within this project, but within each of us. So long as we hold our people in our hearts, so long as we have the drive to push our society forward.

Dialogue
What do you think is going to happen, K’ulass? That you will bring this device to Gorkon, and he will allow us home? That all will be forgiven? He will kill you, K’ulass!

No… No, Gorkon will understand the value of my work. He will welcome us back with open arms.

Ad'otha

Gorkon is not the man he once was. You know this. His heart has grown softer, thanks to the influence of his daughter. He will not abide by your methods.

And neither will we. If you continue down this path, you will do so alone.

But… we have always worked together.

I will not watch you destroy your honor for the sake of your advancement. I cannot, old friend.

Ad'otha

Is it? The data we have already collected is immensely valuable. We do not need the Kos'Karii Engine, K’ulass. Not when we have the KSG.

I do not share your optimism, Ad’otha. Everything I am, I put into this project. How can I possibly move on with my life?

Perhaps you are right. Perhaps you are wrong. I fear that we will find out, sooner, rather than later.

Now, Commander, I believe I have a promise to fulfill. I suppose restricted space means little, now. I see no reason not to allow you access. Follow me.

We believe that Project Qui'Tu is far too important to give up on. You should continue the experiments.

What!? After everything you’ve seen, you believe that the exploitation of the Qui'Tu should continue?

Dialogue
The Commander understands that one must make difficult decisions. If you are not prepared for the reality of this field, perhaps you should go home.

This is not over, K’ulass. I will not allow you to harm the Qui'Tu any more.

Of course. I look forward to receiving your complaints.

K'ulass

Commander, you made the correct decision. Project Qui'Tu is the future of our species. In ten years, you will see a revolution on Kronos. A revolution of understanding and advancement.

Ah, but I believe that a reward is due. You have earned the right to access our restricted space, and I am sure that my superiors will agree. Please, follow me, my friend.

Are you quite finished, Ad’otha? The Commander and I have important work to do.

Character
Ad'otha
Dialogue
K’ulass, listen to me. Project Qui'Tu is dead. You cannot possibly rebuild the Kos'Karii Engine from nothing, not with the time we have left.

Bah! The talk of a coward. Nothing is impossible in science.

Your selfishness has already been the ruin of two planets. I will not stand idly by while you destroy another. Commander, have you made your decision?

You waste your time, Ad’otha. The Commander is a loyal ally. Come, my friend. It is time we continue our work.

Remember what you saw, Commander. The death. The wreckage. You know what you have to do.

Dialogue
How can we stop the project? We are Independents, not members of the Klingon Science Group.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Ad'otha
Dialogue
What you fail to understand is that K’ulass needs you now. With the Kos'Karii Engine gone, you are his only hope of restarting Project Qui'Tu.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Ad'otha
Dialogue
The rest of the KSG are already looking for a way out. They know the project is dead. All you need to do is convince him of the same. He trusts you now, even more so than any of us.
Objective ID

We will consider both sides of the argument.

Ad'otha
Dialogue
I suppose that is all I can ask. Come, then. It is time that we return to K’ulass.
