Storyline
Announcement
Ceti Alpha V has seen more visitors in the past month than it has in a century and this arouses suspicion within Starfleet. [1]
Prologue
- Cadet Wesley Crusher: "Captain, thanks for answering my hails. You're probably not going to believe this, but the Sarcophagus has appeared just above Ceti Alpha V. We were sent here after Starfleet noticed an uptick in travel to the planet's surface. I mean, it's an abandoned sand heap."
- Cadet Wesley Crusher: "What are they hiding down there? And this Sarcophagus is an upgrade from its original form. The weapons, the shields, everything is far more powerful than ever before. Whoever's piloting it has already destroyed several Starfleet vessels."
- Jodmos: "If you're taking on the Sarcophagus, then show no mercy! Do not stay your hand for a second, historic vessel or not!"
- Wrathful Kirk: "Yes, give them hell! If the Klingons want to dig around on Ceti Alpha V, then strand them there!"
Intermission
- Wrathful Kirk: "Damn, these Klingons don't give up, do they? At least your assault managed to buy the other damaged vessels some time and we've managed to beam the injured aboard other vessels for aid."
- Jodmos: "This is not the Empire's work! They would never allow a relic like the Sarcophagus to end up on a crusty rock like this! On that note, they expect the Sarcophagus returned to them--or whatever remains once you've finished bringing down the petaQ who stole it!"
- Choice A
- Captain: "If the Empire is uninvolved, then why is a Klingon vessel here?"
- Jodmos: "The Empire is as good as its word, but for your information, the Sarcophagus was stolen from its place of reverence several weeks ago. If this is the work of other Klingons, it is not at the behest of the Empire itself."
- Choice B
- Captain: "Who else could be piloting the Sarcophagus?"
- Wrathful Kirk: "I'm not sold on this not being a Klingon ploy, but take your pick of the usual suspects. The Romulans, the Borg, the Cardassians..."
- Choice C
- Captain: "What else do we know about what's going on on the surface?"
- Cadet Wesley Crusher: "For the brief period of time we were able to get close, it appeared to be some sort of mining operation. For what it's worth, the Sarcophagus is putting off residue from an unfamiliar element, which makes me wonder if that's what they're mining."
- Cadet Wesley Crusher: "The Sarcophagus is gearing up for another assault. Captain, we could use your help to bring the culprit in once and for all!"
Epilogue
- B'Etor: "Insolent petaQ! The wrath of Kahless itself will befall you for destroying a piece of our Klingon heritage!"
- Wrathful Kirk: "Your only concern with Klingon history is whether or not you can make a quick darsek off of it. Clearly, the only thing you're really mad about is that your illegal mining operation was discovered."
- Cadet Wesley Crusher: "Yes, and thanks for that, ladies. Without your efforts, we would have never known such a potent mineral with so many similarities to uranium lie just beneath this dusty rock's surface. Now Starfleet will have an ample supply to experiment with!"
- Jodmos: "A laudible effort on your part as well, Captain. Exactly the sort of skill and fortitude one would hope to find within the Empire. Speaking of which, it appears they've arrived to retrieve the Duras Sisters and the Sarcophagus."
