== Synopsis == === Historical context === This mission takes place in an alternate 2409, several weeks after the events of the Cryptic-authored [[Romulan Mystery]] story arc and Part I of this series. === Plot summary === The player is contacted once again by Admiral Madelaine Youngs of [[Starfleet Intelligence]] with orders to proceed to Bironex Depot, a space station jointly operated by the [[Romulan Star Navy]] and the [[Tal Shiar]]. The player's mission is to extract an Intel agent known only by her codename of "Black Snow", who while infiltrating the station's crew on another assignment has obtained information on the whereabouts of rogue Romulan Senator Veledrus, who is believed to have been behind the thalaron attack on Verena III (whose aftermath the player witnessed in Part I). The player arrives and approaches Bironex Depot. (Without a cloaking device, the ship must carefully dodge the ships surrounding the station, taking care to avoid coming close enough to any one ship to attract their attention.) Black Snow signals the player, who then beams her aboard. The player's ship is discovered before she can leave, but Black Snow somehow talks the station commander into letting the ship go. Once the ship is safely out of the system, Black Snow reveals that she is the offspring of a Vulcan and a Betazoid, with a set of psionic abilities considered extraordinary by both races' standards, which - as the player has just observed - have proven quite useful in her role as an Intel agent. Black Snow then reveals what she has learned: Veledrus himself was once with the Tal Shiar, and has maintained his ties to that organization as a Senator. He was away from the Imperial Romulan Senate at the time of the Verena III attack, and Black Snow believes he carried out that operation from a Tal Shiar outpost hidden among {{MAlpha|Debrune}} ruins on {{MAlpha|Barradas III}}. The player's mission will be to lure Veledrus back to that outpost - on the Federation side of the former Neutral Zone - so that he can be captured for interrogation without violating Imperial Romulan space. The player arrives at Barradas III and then, after evading detection by a Romulan vessel briefly entering the system, beams to the surface. There, the player and away team finds that the Tal Shiar outpost's entrance is being concealed and guarded by an elaborate holographic system, which they must disable before entering the outpost. Once inside, Black Snow uses her psionic abilities to distract the facility's guards, and then to trick the station's commanding officer into contacting Veledrus to ask him to return (and to providing the satellite system schematics). The ploy works, and Veledrus is taken into custody aboard the Starfleet Intelligence vessel S.S. ''Fleming'' - but he turns out to be carrying a concealed bomb, which he detonates aboard the ''Fleming'' to devastating effect, apparently killing Admiral Youngs and enabling Veledrus to escape to a backup Starfleet vessel, the [[Prometheus Class Escort]] U.S.S. ''Monticello''. Even more disturbing, he turns out not to be the real Veledrus at all, but a shapeshifting impostor who murdered the real senator before the Verena III attack and then assumed his identity. The player searches the ''Monticello'' for the impostor but to no avail; only after returning to the player's own ship is it discovered that the impostor has now taken the form of the ''Monticello'' captain and absconded with her Gamma section to a safe distance, forcing the player to fight off her remotely piloted Alpha and Beta sections and her [[Captain's Yacht]]. The player and ship survive, but the Gamma section is nowhere to be found; as long as she and her impostor captain are missing, there's no telling how much chaos and destruction they can inflict upon the galaxy.
