I must insist on accompanying you. As you’ve noted, we don’t want such a powerful object to be used with ill intent. The Dayström Institute will make sure it’s safe and contained.

Are you sure, Jean-Luc? If I show up with you by my side, you’ll steal my limelight. After all, the Q Weapon is my project. You don’t want to deprive a lady of the recognition she deserves, do you?

Try doing fewer wrong things next time. But yes, I do owe you my thanks. Despite all the trouble you’ve caused, you did deliver the Weapon to the Institute as promised.

I understand that, Professor. I truly do, and I promise to help you. But first, I need you to lower your shields and allow my team to rescue your crew – your ship is in critical condition.

But it’s still a long way to the Institute. Do you want to get rid of me that much? Or are you trying to hide something from me?

We’ve agreed, Jean-Luc. You agreed. I will travel alone from here.

Why won’t you travel right to the Institute then? Or should I ask if you are planning to travel to the Institute at all?

Vash
Dialogue
Fine. It was ordered by my client. They provided me with official documents from the Daystrom Institute to access its funds and information. I promised to deliver the Q Weapon, even with your help.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Vash
Dialogue
I didn’t have enough technology to find and extract the Q Weapon myself, so I used the Arkonians. Then, I needed you or the Commander to help take it back. I didn’t expect both of you to arrive.

So you’ve used me again. You’re getting predictable, Vash. Who is your client? Who helped you fool me with the authentic permit?

Prof. Grabowski
Dialogue
I did. Vash is a great artifact hunter, especially when promised a payment. I didn’t, however, expect her to bring a hypocritical Q marionette tagging along. But maybe it was meant to be, Captain.

Throwing an insult in my face won’t help this conversion. I’m nobody’s marionette, and you have yet to tell me your name.

Professor Grabowski. You don’t remember me, of course. I bet you don’t remember my daughter either – Ensign Grabowski, killed along with 17 others by the Borg that day Q threw you across the galaxy.

Prof. Grabowski

But did you avenge them? No. Instead, you joined the Borg’s side, and my husband died in the battle of ​​Wolf 359. Did you punish Q? No. Instead, you called him a friend and glossed over his atrocities.

A creature of infinite power that plays with human lives like we’re nothing. My family got wiped out because of Q’s “games”! And you just kept shaking that monster’s hand.

Prof. Grabowski
Dialogue
They call you a hero in Starfleet, but you are spineless, shameful, and double-faced. And yet, you are just a stupid human, one who has made so many mistakes. The real problem is Q, but not for long.

I am sorry for your losses, Professor. Starfleet service is dangerous, and I lost a lot of people close to me, too. But revenge won’t bring your family back, and killing Q would only make it worse for all of us.

I’ve heard that all before: it doesn’t help my pain. This Weapon is my last resort, Captain. I know you’ll try to stop me. So I’ll stop you first.
