it’s just like when Toys R Us went under, all the comments in chats and message boards were pissed that it went out of business (aside from the scummy buyouts) because they had so much fun going there and running around looking at the toys, then when they got older took their kids to run around, look at toys but not buy anything. MFer the reason they went out of business is because you never bought anything!
The typos there are great. I only noticed 2, the Klingon Yor’Cha ship, and the Enterprise A, NCC-1781-A
Though it’s funny for the B and C, it has the launch date as “classified”.
I don’t know if they were even allowed to say damn at the time of TOS, but TNG said damn every now and then.
Turns out the first US of damn on TV in the US was in 1965 on My Favorite Martian
Where do you get your weed?
From you, Dante.
But yeah…the 2 story arcs after that turn the crazy up to 11 and really tie in a lot of episodes of Star Trek
there’s no fucking follow-up!
Star Trek Online did a follow-up and it really is a fever dream.
Short version: they were engineered under the Iconians to disrupt our galaxy for their return to conquer it
Long version: The Iconians have been slowly manipulating galactic affairs because their race was almost obliterated 200,000 years ago and their cumulative knowledge stored on a device called the World Heart was stolen by the Other so they plotted revenge.
Canon events Iconians were responsible for, either directly or by proxy…
The Hobus supernova which destroyed Romulus
The bluegills from Conspiracy, engineered by the Elachi (Shroomies) from ENT Silent Enemy
The Solanae (clickers) abducting ENT-D crew members and experimenting on them in Schisms
Building the Jenolan Dyson Sphere from Relics
They were low-key allied with the Tal Shiar who was still trying to maintain control of the Romulans, which lead to some agents, including Sela, having access to some iconian gateways. They also were impersonating Alpha/Beta quadrant powers into attacking fluidic space which provoked species 8472 (Undine) into attacking, leading to a breakdown in relations between UFP and Klingons, but also escalated the Borg’s plans to assimilate 8472. While helping Romulans find a new home planet you find a large gateway which leads you to another Dyson sphere where the solanea were experimenting on others, but more importantly where Omega particles were being generated. This opened up a direct path to the Jenolan Dyson sphere which had “jumped” to the delta quadrant and the Vaadwaur have returned with a vengeance and modern tech ultimately because most of the higher ups were under control of the bluegills further destabilizing the quadrant. Once things are taken care of Sela shows up again and you travel to another Dyson sphere in the Andromeda galaxy which leads to the invasion of the Iconians who wage war on the entire galaxy. The only hope is by following clues and finding the Krenim, who hid themselves from the time stream. You convince them to join the effort and rebuild Annorax’s ship from Year of Hell. In one botched attempt, the lead researcher Noye’s wife was removed from the time stream along with most of her species. In a final act of desperation you get sent back in time to the fall of iconians to gather Intel and find a way to stop them, along with a Klingon general and of course Sela. You find they’re a mostly benevolent peace people who use their version of the Prime Directive to not give “lesser” races access to their highly advanced tech. This pissed those races off enough that they all allied and bombed the iconians to near extinction. During this attack you’ve befriended the leader of the iconoans, along with the Klingon general, meanwhile Sela is the devil in your ear and just wants to kill them all. The iconoan leader asks for your help to escape with their collected knowledge, the World Heart, which you agree to do. While the 12 remaining iconians are attempting to escape via their gate…Sela shoots one of them and takes the World Heart and the iconians swear that she will burn for this as they leave. So yeah, that bitch Sela is the one who singlehandedly set all this in motion. You go back to your original time and return the world heart to the iconans and they agree to a ceasefire.
And then the panel goes full BSoD while the view screen claims it needs to update drivers
Yeah I vaguely remember reading some beta canon stuff that a doctor somewhere tried curing his daughter’s terminal ailments/issues and it snowballed from there.
LaForge: Damn Bev, how blazed are you?
I would’ve thought the mirror borg would be completely benevolent and used the idea of willing and consensual assimilation as a means of helping species…like the combined knowledge of the genetic makeup from 17 species can help eradicate Alzheimer’s.
Then I should be dead a hundred times over from popping so many of em over the years
He didn’t stop at green 💚
The big ones that are deeper under the skin than regular white-heads. I try popping them but only end up scraping off the top layer of skin
I still enjoy the game but the latest arc is just so completely disjointed. Like they had a grand plan, then had to pivot but that wasn’t well liked, so they tried to course correct but they did in the wrong direction and now they’re trying to go for a “call back” to appease
Yeah dude, that Terran Gambit arc gets a little bonkers.
A Terran task force attacks Jupiter Station for what they keep calling “The Emperor’s Prize” which turns out to be Ilia from TMP in stasis. The strike team is composed of mirror Marshall Janeway (voice by KM), mirror Captain “Killy” Tilly (whom I found to be obnoxious), mirror Terran Admiral Leeta (voiced by CM) and your character’s mirror counterpart the Inquisitor. The point is to use prime-Ilia to contact the mirror version of V’Ger, C’qer…pronounced seeker from the CONQUEROR satellite. Emperor Wesley plans to merge with it to obtain godlike powers and annihilate the prime universe and digitize entire planets. After they merge and he’s wiped out half the prime solar system, He’s only defeated when mirror Bev Crusher moms her way into him calming down as you simultaneously battle mirror Terran admiral Leeta who is possessed by a Pah-Wraith.
Group: We’re Lawful Good, but we refuse to perform tasks without adequate payment negotiated and half upfront. We can’t move the story forward…
Martok: Seems like you’re stuck in Neutral.
Well you know what they say…only the good die young
And yet, according to STO, Klingon Hell is a place you can just casually go when the plot calls for it, and bring back dead souls or exchange them from planes of existence
And now he’s wanting to put on a massive military parade, something only the Terrans (and other dictatorship/fascist regimes) would do
What doesn’t it stand for! It stands for commitment. It stands for audacity! It stands for courage in the face of…
