Storyline
Announcement
The artificial intelligence Landru has begun kidnapping scientists, inventors, and other intellectuals to help it calculate a solution to the temporal anomaly crisis. While Landru’s goals may admirable, Starfleet cannot allow free-thinking citizens to forced into its experiments. It will take extraordinary courage - and cunning - to free Landru’s captives from the vast intelligence of their “host”. [1]
Prologue
- Author Doctor: "It's about time someone received my distress call! I was beginning to wonder if Starfleet had noticed some of its greatest minds being stolen away. Myself and the cream of the galaxy's intellectual crop are on Beta III, on the orders of a being called Landru."
- Author Doctor: "Apparently it's been trying to calculate a solution for the temporal anomaly crisis since the whole thing began, but the minds of its ordinary citizens have... limited processing power. It brought us here to expand its capabilities."
- Author Doctor: "As interesting as Landru's research is, I don't appreciate bring dragged across the quadrant and having my programming hooked up to someone else's think tank. You need to get us out of here–if you can. Landru's capable of more than most humanoids could imagine."
Intermezzo
- Ambassador Sarek: "I thank you for your assistance, Captain. It is a relief to be free of another mind's influence. I believe myself and Landru's other prisoners will make a full recovery, but ours are not the only lives at stake."
- Ilia: "Landru's data patterns are beginning to destabilize. The disconnection of many minds has caused its programming to malfunction. Landru will cease to operate without assistance. This carbon unit must assist Landru."
- choice A
- Captain: "Landru is the only being of its kind. I won't allow it to die."
- Ilia: "The carbon units understand the value of the Landru lifeform. Landru has no more creator, but the carbon units will suffice to preserve it."
- choice B
- Captain: "I'll help it only if we can make sure it won't repeat this performance..."
- Ambassador Sarek: "There is no way to guarantee Landru's future actions in the time we have available. The only question is whether you understand the value of such an entity's existence, no matter whether it may someday pose another threat to us."
- choice C
- Captain: "This is a fair price for it to pay for taking our people. Why should I help it?"
- Ambassador Sarek: "It is one of the Federation's core principles that all lifeforms have a right to exist. If we do nothing, we are as responsible for its death as if we had struck the final blow. Is that a responsibility you are willing to take?"
- Ambassador Sarek: "Landru may be unlike any other artificial intelligence the Federation has encountered, but at its core, it is still a machine. Save the machine and you will save the mind, Captain, and spare an entire species from extinction."
Epilogue
- Ambassador Sarek: "The latest reports indicate that Landru's cognitive matrices have been stabilized. It will take some time, but there is every indication that it will regain its higher-order functions. I congratulate you, Captain. You have saved more lives than ours today.."
- Ambassador Sarek: "Once Landru has regained awareness of its surroundings, Starfleet has authorized the Ilia Probe and I to make contact with it. We are willing to assist with its research on the temporal anomaly crisis if it will allow us to work freely as equals, not as its pawns."
- Author Doctor: "I'm glad its mind will be put to better use! Though speaking of great minds, my time with Landru did produce some fascinating ideas... I'll run them by some fellow intellectuals I know. With all of our collective brainpower, maybe someday we'll find a solution to the crisis."
