The only other individual you've really had a chance to talk to was your second in command, Commander Cooper, and only mostly in passing to relay information and orders. Besides a friendly handshake and introduction, you haven't had the opportunity to get to know anyone. Releasing a frustrated sigh, you consider what should be done over the next few hours while in warp.

>Walk the ship, attempt to get to know and connect with the crew.

>Call a meeting of your senior staff. Get to know your officers and introduce yourself to them.

>Prepare battle drills. You don't know what's coming and you want your crew to be on their toes despite the strain.

>Relax. You've made it. Take a few hours to collect yourself.

You down the remainder of your coffee and place the mug in the replicator. Standing, you tap your combadge:

"All senior staff, report to the conference room."

You take a deep breath, and leave your ready room, making way for a turbolift to go up a level to the conference. A handful of crew, ensigns and JG Lieutenants, nod and straighten as you pass. The lift takes you to the conference and as you enter the room, your staff rises to their feet. You introduce yourself and take turns shaking hands. Your staff are as follows:

First Officer: Commander Cooper, a human male. Caucasian, brown hair, blue eyes. A picture perfect Starfleet officer.

Operations Officer: Lieutenant Commander Avar, an Andorian male, very blue. His left Antenna is half the length it was, apparently cut off at some point.

Chief Engineer: Lieutenant Samet, a Bolian male. Kind and courteous, a bit of a brown noser.

Security Chief: Lieutenant Kara, a half human, half Orion female. Attractive, if not reserved.

Medical Officer: Doctor Stauffer, a human male. Indifferent and distant, his bedside manner is most likely very poor.

Acting Science Officer: Junior Grade Lieutenant Watts, a human female. Assigned due to a lack of onsite science officer when orders came down from Starfleet. Determined and dedicated.

You spend the next hour getting to know everyone quite well (Feel free to ask for specifics). You have another hour till you arrive.

>Walk the ship.

>Attempt to familiarize yourself with where you're going.

>Prepare drills.

>Wait in your ready room.

>Walk the ship, attempt to get to know and connect with the crew.

>>37803457

>>37803457
>Attempt to familiarize yourself with where you're going.

>>37803457

Also would be curious to hear how Commander Avar lost that bit of antenna.

>>37803457
>>Attempt to familiarize yourself with where you're going.

>>37803457
>His left Antenna is half the length it was, apparently cut off at some point.
Must have been recent, they grow back within 9 months - half that with treatment.

>Walk the ship.

>>37803457
Ahh I go with
>Walk the ship
What kind of captain doesn't know his own layout?

>Walk the ship
Get a feel for the layout, make a point of figuring out where the escape pods are. You know, when things inevitably go tits up.

>>37803548
>>37803575
Avar chuckles a bit as you ask, "Well if you must know, a few months ago I was stationed on the La-Tang near the Klingon border. We stopped off on a trade station and... Well let's say Klingon Targs don't like me for some reason. A big one jumped me and it took three security officers to get the damn thing off. I'm lucky it went for that instead of somewhere fatal."

>>37803508
>>37803510
>>37803553
>>37803548
After you dismiss your staff, you take a moment and call up all computer records on what you're doing and where you're going. The Romulan Neutral Zone has been an enigmatic area of space for many years. Recently with the rumors of upheaval in the Romulan senate Starfleet began placing new automated monitoring stations along the border. The one in particular you're investigating is located in the Titan System. A single sun, 6 planets, none of which are capable of sustaining life. The system hasn't been properly surveyed due to the nature of it's location. The station you're investigating was dropped near in orbit of the 5th planet, an inhospitable rock called 'Lura N'ra'. There is little other information about the system. No recorded Romulan activity, an unlikely location for some kind of incursion due to poor tactical placement. The odds are the monitoring station is just acting up. In any case, you're nearing the system. Shall you:

>Drop out of warp and scan the system at long range

>Drop out of warp in system and scan

>Drop out of warp in system and approach the station

>Red alert. Raise Shields. Drop out of warp combat ready in system.


I also feel the need to note, you've had some time to study your ships design. You know the layout and the location of everything. Walking the ship would be for the pleasure of meeting some of your crew, a morale kind of thing.

>>37803833
>>Drop out of warp in system and scan

>>37803833
>Drop out of warp and scan the system at long range

>>37803833
>Drop out of warp and scan the system at long range

I'll be damned if we just walk into some sort of ambush. Lets play this one safe.

>Raise shields after scan
If at all possible

>>37803833
I'm actually rather rusty on my star trek fluff. what era is this again?

Yes i'm a filthy casual here sorry.

>Drop out of warp in system and scan
It doesn't seem like a potential hotbed of danger. yet.

>Drop out of warp in system and scan

>>37803876
The Obediah warps in system and you order a scan of the area. LC Avar turns from his console after tapping a few commands.

"Captain, I'm not reading any anomalies in the area. No ships, nothing on tactical. Not reading any Neutrino emissions indicating cloaked ships. But... the Monitoring Station... I'm just reading wreckage sir."

>Order the Obediah to approach the wreckage to get a better reading of what might of happened.

>Immediately report to Starfleet Command. Inform them the border of the Neutral Zone has been breached.

>Red Alert, raise shields. Battle Stations!

>Report to Starfleet and await orders (This might take an hour or so)

>>37803833
>Drop out of warp in system and scan

>>37804044
>>Immediately report to Starfleet Command. Inform them the border of the Neutral Zone has been breached.

>>37804044
>Order the Obediah to approach the wreckage to get a better reading of what might of happened.

It's our first command, if we panic the crew will lose faith in us, and frankly, the monitoring station could just have been hit by an asteroid, space whale, or something equally tedious

>>37804044
>>Red Alert, raise shields. Battle Stations!
>Immediately report to Starfleet Command. Inform them the border of the Neutral Zone has been breached.

>>37804044
>Order the Obediah to approach the wreckage to get a better reading of what might of happened.

Lets not panic just yet theres no sign of the hostiles and a half baked report is not a good one. This warrents a report yes but AFTER we go find survivors and figure out what did this.

>>37804044
>Order the Obediah to approach the wreckage to get a better reading of what might of happened.
Go to Yellow alert though.

>>37804044
>Order the Obediah to approach the wreckage to get a better reading of what might of happened.
>Order Yellow Alert and raise shields.
At the very least, we are in a possibly hostile situation so Yellow Alert is the least we should go to.

>>37804044
>Order the Obediah to approach the wreckage to get a better reading of what might of happened.
Yellow alert

>>37804124
>>37804152
>>37804170
>>37804178
"Yellow alert, raise shields." You gesture to Lieutenant Kara. The flash of yellow on the bridge and a gentle hum as the old Miranda class's engines fire up the shields reassure you. The ship moves at three-quarter impulse towards the wreckage. As you get closer, sensors make out clearer images. The automated station was definitely attacked, but it wasn't by Romulans. The weapon burns don't match anything in the ships database for what could've fired them...

As the Obediah passes the 10km mark distance wise from the wreckage, the sensor console flares up.

"Sir, Neutrino emissions! There's a ship out there decloaking!" Avar shouts out to you.

>Red Alert! Lock Phasers, load Photon Torpedoes!

>Maintain shields. Hail them.

>Hold. I want to see what this is.

>>37804340
>>Maintain shields. Hail them.
Send a report to StarFleet to let them know whats up.

>>37804340
Hey, I remember that episode.

>>37804340
>Maintain shields. Hail them.

The moment this fuckwit starts a weapon charge its red alert though. Lets see if we can't be a true star fleet officer and at least attempt to be diplomatic here.

>>37804340
>Maintain shields. Hail them.

Let's face it, of the races that have cloaking tech, We'd only actually be able to fight a Bird of Prey without getting horribly destroyed. Let's be starfleet and diplomatic.

Also what race are we? There always been an option to arm our weapons make me feel like we're somewhat aggressive.

>>37804340
>>Maintain shields. Hail them.

>>37804340
>Hold. I want to see what this is.

>>37804427
This is a Miranda-class, it's over 80 years old. Even upgraded it's not going to be anywhere near what a Defiant, Intrepid, Nebula, Galaxy, or Sovereign can do.

>>37804600
Yeah, as I said, we'd get destroyed by anyone if we actually tried to fight, except Klingons, because they're designed to lose to everyone, and never actually be threatening.

I mean heck, we'd probably get beaten by Ferengi salvage ships.

>>37804427
I've left the race open deliberately. My general goal was to make the Captain ambiguous because he's supposed to be 'you'. I'd assume human, but I'm trying to leave it open.
>>37804382
>>37804364
>>37804427
>>37804478
You gesture to your Comm officer, an Ensign Eleen, to open hailing frequencies to the decloaking ship. Standing and preparing for your first ship to ship as a Captain, you introduce yourself as the captain of the USS Obediah, here to investigate the destruction of Starfleet's monitoring station. The visual of the decloaking ship resolves to show one of the newer Romulan Valdore class ships, a lighter alternative to their mainstay D'deridex class cruisers. It's shields are raised, but it's weapons aren't charged. The viewscreen snaps to a typically clean, crisp, female Romulan Commander.

"Greetings Captain. I am Commander Sela of the Asterius. I am here under orders to investigate a recent attack on Romulan patrols of the Neutral Zone. I... Believe we may have common goals here. Shall we meet face to face and discuss this in person?"

You're a bit taken aback by the Romluan's forwardness, but you haven't dealt with them before. Even during the Dominion war, you were primarily deployed with Klingon forces fighting Breen raiding cells. Do you:

>Agree. Offer to beam over to her ship.

>Agree. Offer your ship as a meeting place.

>Decline. We can work together over comms.

>Decline. She is not to be trusted even the slightest. This could be a ruse.

>Power weapons.

>>37804600
>>37804674
I promise you're not useless. Your weapons, while limited to a smaller array, are refitted to be on par with modern frigate equivalents. It's mostly just an outdated ship design, not so much equipment.

>>37804701
>>Agree. Offer to beam over to her ship.
might be suicidal but I assume that she won't come over if she could.

>>37804701
>>Agree. Offer your ship as a meeting place.
SO in other words while we're fucked if shields drop we can still do a lot of damage?

>>37804701
And the plot thickens...paranoia is a friend here though.

>Agree. offer your ship as a meeting place.
If she doesn't like that theres something going on. If anything Star Fleet is amongst the most trustworthy factions oustide of that blackops sectionwhatevernumberiforget.

This ought to be a interesting quest...

>>37804701
>Agree. Offer your ship as a meeting place

As for the race thing I'd quite like to be Bajoran just because they're just aggressive enough for /tg/ to play, but human enough to relate to.

>>37804701
>Agree. Offer your ship as a meeting place.

>>37804779
>oustide of that blackops sectionwhatevernumberiforget.

>>37804866
My lack of startrek know is showing I don't even know what the hell a bajoran is.

Then again what I do know comes from about a 5 year old knowledge of the series when it was running all the time every time. I ended up watching alot of TNG and classic when it showed now and again. beyond that I know shit and its rusty knowing at this point.

You carefully weigh the options. After considering what it entails, you offer your conference room as a meeting place. Commander Sela looks thoughtful, considering it.

"Very well. I will beam there directly in a moment."

After acknowledging, you close comms and order shields down, but to maintain tactical readiness. With that, you quickly make your way to the conference room. A single security officer accompanies you. The Commander and an accompanying guard beam over a moment after you enter the room. After a brief introduction you all take a seat at the table. The Commander explains that for the past two weeks Romulan patrols have been being snuffed out in the rough area of the Titan System. At first, the Empire thought it was the Federation, or even a rouge splinter from the Dominion. But the Tal Shiar, who you recall is the Romulan secret intelligence division, determined it wasn't any of the assumed parties. The attacks were originating from the Titan System, and the Asterius was sent to investigate, but since its arrival it hasn't been able to detect anything, and the attacks have stopped. The Commander explains that the monitoring station was already gone when her ship arrived. You explain what little side of the story you know, and thank the Commander for her... candidness. It's actually take you aback a bit. From what you've read on Romulan's they're usually rather guarded, especially when the Tal Shiar get involved. Something strange is going on... or the Romulans are more desperate than they're willing to let on.

>Offer to help investigate. You both have a vested interest in this after all.

>Your mission here is done. It's time to report to Starfleet and move on. You have no authorization to work jointly with anyone from the Star Empire.

I can see an angle. some kind of bizzare possible superweapon at work or something.

We'll have to make a judgement call here.

>Offer to help investigate. You both have a vested interest in this after all.

No point trying to start an incident with the romulans, lets place nice for now and see how it goes. And figure out whats doing this.

>>37805219
Might miff them a bit since we're taking our own initiative but we're looking at some kind of bizzare untraceable weapon/anomoly randomly breaking shit. its just going to cause more headaches unless we locate and wrangle it. Plus if we stop for orders it means losing track of the romulans and I don't want that.

>>37805263
It's probably the Remans trying to break the relative good will recently between the Feds and the Romulans.

>>37805309
Not a clue who those are but all the more reason to keep the romulans with us so they can't let their paranoia scanners lock onto us and attack.

>>37805119
Its hard to mock the Bajorans for their religion when their gods actually exist, and have been helping you for all of time.

As for in the quest itself, I think its a good counterpoint to traditional federation values, seeing as most races have progressed beyond their own religious phases.

You offer your assistance. This concerns both the Romulans and the Federation. The Commander seems pleased, and agrees to the idea. She begins outlining a plan to try to draw out the attackers when the dim yellow along the walls changes to a strong red and an alarm sounds. The comm sounds and Commander Cooper's voice comes over, "Captain, we're detecting a massive power surge in the atmosphere of the 4th planet. It might be a weapon."

You acknowledge and suggest the Commander returns to her ship. Her and her guard beam off and the hum of the ships shields kick back in. You rush to the bridge.

The Obediah and the Asterius both align facing the 4th planet, a gas giant by the name of Rkar N'ra. The energy scans coming off of it are extremely unusual, like a cloud of power sources is located somewhere below the surface.

You order the ship to hold and continue scanning. The Asterius cloaks Sela tells you they're moving into a different position to flank any hostiles from the planet if needed. Minutes pass, then the sensors light up like a Christmas tree. Unidentified fighters swarm out of the planet's atmosphere, reading 3 rough squadrons, 12 fighters each. the fighters are more compact than the Federation's run of the mill Peregrine class fighters. The squadrons break with weapons charges and shields up, two headed towards the cloaked Romulans and the other for the Obediah. Lieutenant Kara announces that phase banks are charged and torpedoes are loaded.

Their cloak don't mean shit here they obviously konw where it is and if those romulans explode we're catching 8 kinds of hell in the political ramifications. This entire thing was to provoke a conflict.

>>37806017
Nice ship and why didn't the Federation try to help the Remans, they would be more trustworthy than the Romulans right? Hell an alliance alone would have cemented things fairly well.

>>37806098

weren't they a bunch of rapey space huns? or mongols.

Also why the hell hasn't Starfleet created a designated Warship that is only ever needed for big bloody wars like the dominion war. Seriously they should understand that they need a big, stompy warship that kills planets in one shot for christ sake.

You order the Helm to make haste for the Asterius's position. All phasers are locked onto the fighters swarming towards you. You hail them with a general call to power down weapons and stand down. The only response you get is a strange, insectile chittering. Ensign Eleen explains that the universal translator is unable to get a grasp on the language. As you get near the Asterius, the fighters suddenly engage you, bolts of energy peppering the Obediah's shields. The ship shudders, and warning light up all over the tactical display. You order Kara to return fire, and the glow of the Obediah's various phaser banks light up the viewscreen. The fighter's shields can take a beating, but two phaser arrays on one for a few seconds takes them down, shredding the target. The Asterius has decloaked, and also engaged the attackers. Both of your ships fight proverbially back to back, trying to cover each others weak spots. 24 fighters down and the Obediah's shields buckle and give out. The bridge is suddenly filled with smoke, sparks and fire.You find yourself on the floor. Quickly picking yourself up, Avar calls out that more ships are coming out of the atmosphere, what appear to be light cruisers.

>Hail the Asterius, we're both getting out of here!

>Warp out immediately!

>Reorient, engage the light cruisers.

>Report damn it! I need a clearer picture of what state we're in!

>Keep downing those fighters!

>>37806296

>Also why the hell hasn't Starfleet created a designated Warship
They did, which was the Defiant.
And they already work on the most important technologies for war in space:
Sensors
Shields
Targeting Computers
Torpedoes

The Federation is the undisputed leader in those technologies, and they need the self-inflicted handicap of not developing cloaking tech for the other races to have a chance.
And when they do take the gloves off and develop cloaking tech, they do it better than anyone else.

They don't need big and stompy, because they can do compact, cheap, and efficient.

>>37806257
Star Trek logic or something. I think the only dedicated warship they actually make is the sovereign class and that comes way later I think.

Well it's big enough to count as one anyway in my books.

>>37806296
Oh snap. This is going to be interesting if we make a bad move. What was our weight class again shipwise? I might be able to figure out a plan for combat..

>>37806337
Well, the sovereign is already around. Nemesis happened about 28ish hours ago in quest time.

The Miranda class is sort of considered an older Tactical Escort now.

>>37806337
>I think the only dedicated warship they actually make is the sovereign class
The dedicated warship they made in the modern era is the Defiant-class. When the Romulans got a look at it during the Dominion War, prepared to make fun of the little ship made by the Federation, they realized that if Starfleet ever got serious and fought like the Klingons, Romulans, Breen, and Cardassians did, the entire Alpha Quadrant was FUCKED.

That Starfleet had better weapons, shields, torpedoes, and energy management systems, and that the Defiant could take down a D'derix-class warship easily because it has both the weapons to knock out other battleships and has the scanners needed to actually detect cloaked vessels, while costing only half as much and needing only a quarter of the crew.

Closer to Nazis. After they got treated like their own conquests during the dominion war, well...

[Damar's family has been killed]
Damar: To kill her and my son - the casual brutality of it, the waste of life... What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent women and children? What kind of people give those orders?
Colonel Kira: Yeah, Damar, what kind of people give those orders...?

Colonel Kira: Oh, that was stupid.
Garak: Not at all. Damar has a certain... romanticism about the past. He could use a dose of cold water.
Colonel Kira: Well, I could have picked a better time.
Garak: If he's the man to lead a new Cardassia, if he's the man we all hope him to be... then the pain of this news made him more receptive to what you said, not less.

As for the warship thing, they actually did that almost immediately after the first Borg incursion and Wolf-359. The Defiant class, and later the Prometheus prototype, were built for combat instead of as armed explorers. Any Federation ship can render a planet inhospitable in less than an hour with one shot, and with a few days prep a custom warhead for a photon torpedo can destroy a planet.

And I remember you said while she's old she's been refitted to modern standards. how much bang we packing here?

I'm trying to figure out if we can dish out faster then we take. these random xenos don't seem too advanced but sheer numbers could tear us down.

>>37806444
Thanks I barely konw star trek. I mostly into 40k.

>Report damn it! I need a clearer picture of what state we're in!

ok so the fucking escort is a good ship killer and the Sovereign class looks like a good and proper battleship. But what about weapons, the federation must have tried to create something to use other than photon torpedoes and fucking phasers.

Or did the space Geneva Convention stop that train of creativity and innovation from happening.
Seriously I mean like radiation bombs, disrupter technology, sun busting bombs man.

>>37806484
Six type-7 phaser emitters (Standard, same as any other modern Fed ship); two ford-facing pulse phaser cannons (cut down versions of the Defiants crazy pulse cannons); and two photon torpedo launchers, fore and aft.
>>37806558
Quantum Torps are a big up on Photons. Phasers are still a go to, but they made 'better' pulse based ones. Super weapons are generally frowned upon by almost all factions.

>>37806558
Pretty much yeah. Star Fleet flat out refuses to use such mass destruction weapons too nancy for it or something. Though they make up for it by being pretty damn good with their current weapon tech. Or just about any tech it feels like.

I just hope they packed enough bang into our ship because we're gonna need it if shit keeps escalating like this.

>>37806558
Quantum torpedoes were already in common use before the beginning of the Dominion war, and Phasers are perfectly effective, especially pulse cannon versions.

The rest of that stuff just goes completely against the spirit of the Federation.

Actually, It's gotten a little quiet quest wise. So I'm gonna end this part now. Expect another part to be up around the same start time on Wedensday. This'll be archived. Feel free to use the thread to keep discussing the quest or other Star Trek goodness like the Federation's magical no money economy. Thanks for a great start guys!

Your ignorance is really showing, and you're going about asking for information in a really annoying way.

And every single weapon that the Federation has can be modified into a superweapon because their science base is better than anyone else.
Radiation bombs are a fucking joke with the tech we have.
Disruptors are no better at penetrating shields than phasers; worse in some ways.
And as for sun busting, yes, Starfleet is working on it but no one else has it, and the only ones that do are the Organians and the Q, who won't let anyone else have it.

Thank for running Q, hope more people show next time.

>>37806649
aww and I was having a plan form since you told us our load out. ah well.

We'll see how this one goes down. I don't think theres been a star trek one in a while now. if ever. series don't get much love here I think.

>>37806677
Well that kinda shoots everything I had out of the water.

I have only seen a few episodes and a few movies, most of what I know is outdated and second hand.

it just seems like everyone wants to pick on the Federation and they just let it happen. A super weapon could be useful for the fear factor alone, they don't even have to use the damn thing. Like Nukes kinda.

Other than the Borg, those guys need specialized shit to take them down, I know that at least.

>>37806677
I mean, pretty much anyone COULD blow up a sun if they wanted. One changeling in a runabout almost did it on DS9 and obliterated three fleets. It's generally that anyone who did do it would get rekt by everyone else going ham on them. Star Trek writers put a lot of emphasis on the importance of political stability. It's not like 40k where one guy mucks about a bit and his whole star system is purged. Both have their charming qualities, and Star Trek's is generally more about the beautiful mystery of space and tactful approach to politics because all sides abhor needless death, even the Klingons. Only if theres honor in it.

>>37806752
If that's what you were depending on, then you shouldn't be planning anything.

>>37806677
Starship phasers can stun/kill entire cities at once. Or drill to a planet's core, for instance.

Sisko renders a Maquis planet inhospitable to humans to draw out a Starfleet traitor and act as an exchange to the Cardassians for the Maquis doing the same to one of their border worlds.

>>37806778
Star trek lore yes

Tactics on the other hand is fairly ok and hell there were other people posting here who would make the smart moves if I chose the bad choice.

Seriously where did they go?

>>37806752
All 5 series are on Netflix, catch up.

>>37806803
While some tactics are universal, with space combat and the technologies involved, if you don't know what's being discussed, your idea is most likely going to be worse than useless.

>>37806815
Yeah I should.

I head Enterprise was good any thoughts.

>>37806853
It's not amazing, but it's kind of interesting to see how things start.

>>37806792
Yes, as evidenced, Starfleet can depopulate an entire planet if it wants to.
The Alpha Quadrant is fortunate that the Federation doesn't want to, and after the Dominion War, they all know it.

>>37806843
I know that Federation ships need to keep moving to keep the enemy in their firing lines and that you only use torpedos when the shields are down for quick kills.

I also know that boarding actions can be successful but require you to not blow up said ship.

Cloaking requires shields to be down so if you got a torpedo off and the ship cloaked then you had a easy kill other than that it is a pain to fight against.

There are 12 fighters remaining, with 2 light cruiser contacts approaching.

All weapons are still active, and shields have only just fallen.

We need to use our phaser arrays to take down the fighters, get the shields back up as quickly as possible, and re-orient to put our phaser cannons on the approaching cruisers.

>>37806919
>Cloaking requires shields to be down
No they don't. Only old or underpowered cloaking devices need to decloak. The Scimitar, for example, had the power output necessary to cloak AND fire disruptors and torpedoes at the same time.

Do you have a twitter, OP?

>>37807105
that sounds very dangerous. I really need to watch the rest of voyager and TNG.

>>37807142
I do but it's personal. I might make a throwaway after the second session for this. Depends how it goes.

>>37807202
Just watch Voyager's Borg episodes. Everything else is basically irrelevant. TNG is good. DS9 kind of became completely vital to following what's going on in the timeline. The movies are also pretty important.

>>37807105
You can cloak and fire, but not have shields up.

>>37807202
The first known ship that could fire while cloaked was a Klingon Bird of Prey meant to stop the Khittomer Accords. (ST VI: The Undiscovered Country)

>>37807250
Thank you OP for the recommendations I will get to that shortly.

>>37807276
>You can cloak and fire, but not have shields up.
The Scimitar specifically had primary and secondary shields that could remain up even when cloaked.

>>37807343
The Scimitar was literally the apex of one of the major factions engineering. It was also a mega plot device, and had a Thalorn Reactor. When you open a book of 'Things That are OP as Fuck' it's in the first chapter. The entire movie hinged on it being OP as fuck.

>>37807429
It's also genuinely the worst movie. Even worse than V.

I dunno. I hated Insurrection. The whole thing just felt forced to me. At least Nemesis tried to have a special plot point worthy of a finale movie.

>>37807585
Insurrection was just a long episode, nothing to get mad over.

Nemesis had DUNE BUGGY CHASE FOR NO REASON! POINTLESS RESET OF A BELOVED CHARACTER!

Seriously, fuck the B-4 plot.

>>37807647
That's fair. It was all shoehorned in. At least Cryptic tried to kinda fix it in STO.
