Ever since the halcyon days of 1995 - when life was bright and hopeful and the dark shape of the future were merely clouds on the horizon, all of humanity has been driven by the singular question...

What if Star Trek: Voyager was good, actually?

Today, here, now, in the grim future of 2022, you will answer that question.

RULES

1) Write Ins are encouraged
2) Voting exists!
3) This will be run using the Star Trek: Adventure rules!

CONTENT WARNING: This quest has the mature tag for the reason! There is SWEARS! There is GORE - energy weapons are shockingly graphic when delt with realistically. There's even SEX SCENES. Yes, Voyager is now on HBO! You have been warned!

    • [X] You need a lawyer. There is, unfortunately, only one being the Federation is aware of who might qualify: Q. Aftempt to summon and then negotiate legal representation from the most notorious entity in Starfleet history.
      [X] Well. We're being summoned to court. The last court run by the Q was...okay, it was a mess, but at least Q isn't involved.
      -[X] Tuvok
      [X] Plan: Horrible Idea
      -[X] T'are
      [x] This is preposterous. The Q are tricksters, not legal experts, and there's no proof of anything she's said. We'll see if we can maybe...devise some kind of jamming technology that could at least stop Q interference? Or maybe slow it down?
      [X]Tuvok
      -[X] Lt. Ducane (who?)
      -[X] Recorder of Borg (Whaaaaaaa?)
      -[X] Kortar (HOW EVEN?)
      -[X] No one
      [X] When he fails to properly defend us, pull a Sisko and bop him one. At least it will make you feel better

      [X] You need witnesses. This is clearly a time travel based issue, and likely dependent on our recent decision to visit Sha Ka Ree, so we need to call in Starfleet's historical experts on time travel, the Prophets, and Sha Ka Ree. The Q will be serving the targets, so actual existence at this point in time is not necessary.
      [X] Captain Jean-Luc Picard, expert on the Q self fulfilling time loops, and foiling time travel heist plots;
      [X] Captain Benjamin Sisko, expert on the Prophets;
      [X] Captain Jonathan Archer, expert on time travel combat;
      [X] Captain James. T. Kirk, expert on Sha-ka-ree.
      [X] The Guardian of Forever, who sees all;

    • [X] Plan: Why Didn't You Get To The Point In The First Place?
      [X] Plan: This is a Courtroom Dammit.
      -[X] Ask Q to explain what the hell is going on... (pick as many as you want, but know your time is limited)
      --[X] What is Phoebe being charged with? She isn't even in the Delta Quadrant.
      -[X] Counter the prosecution's claim that only Voyager's destruction will be able to prevent interference with the Prophet's goals by pointing out that Voyager can simply avoid the Great Barrier.
      --[X] Voice your intent to lodge a complaint with the relevant authorities that such a hazard was not communicated to the Federation.
      [X] Plan: Perfectly Balanced, as all things should be.
      -[X] Since the alternative seemed to be destruction, go for it. Accept the plea bargain.
      --[X] Ask for an equivalent probabilistic boon to the outrageous negative probabilistic event caused to the ValJean - either one event with similarly long odds goes our way through Q intervention, or a number of bad but not quite so unlucky events which would cause major negative outcomes are altered to have good outcomes for us and that extra luck is used to 'pay off' the probabilistic debt incurred by the attack on the ValJean. Definition of 'good' to be at the discretion of a neutral omniscient arbiter.
      -[X] Ask Q to explain what the hell is going on... (pick as many as you want, but know your time is limited)
      --[X] Did he say Borg?
      --[X] Wait a second, if he was from the future, and he discussed things that we did in the Delta Quadrant, we must have made it home. Given that, it would be the height of folly to take a different option which would not guarantee that outcome.
      [X] Ask Q to explain what the hell is going on... (pick as many as you want, but know your time is limited)
      -[X] Ask about Daniels
      -[X] Did he say Borg?
      [X] Doormamu! I've come to bargain!
      -[X] This is a gross over reach on the prosecutor's part and it's in their interests to settle out of court.
      -[X] Plea deals mean there's something in it for us. We want something useful, something that we can adapt to deal with different situations that may come up. Something to help us get home.
      --[X] A short while later: "Q!!!!!!!! WHY IS MY SHIP COVERED IN BORG NANOPROBES AND WHO THE HELL IS SEVEN OF NINE!!!"
      [X] Plan: 8-million-track
      -[X] Ask Q to explain what the hell is going on... (pick as many as you want, but know your time is limited)
      --[X] What is Phoebe being charged with? She isn't even in the Delta Quadrant.
      -[X] Counter the prosecution's claim that only Voyager's destruction will be able to prevent interference with the Prophet's goals by pointing out that Voyager can simply avoid the Great Barrier.
      --[X] Request here-be-dragons only map of places we shouldn't go to avoid this in the future. Map only shows places not to go.
      --[X] If we're going to take 70 years to get home then we need some tunes for the road. Request an alien music and art database so we can expand our currently limited mindset.

    • [x] Plan Diplomacy :
      -[X] Find someone important. This planet is going to blow up soon, you have to warn them. And besides, they can you back to C'Nola
      -[X] Break out, violently (phasers - medium)
      -[X] Fish through Amy's records to build a device to make the portal one way
      -[X] Contact Kazon-Relora and ask, kindly, what the fuck
      [X] Plan Mad Science and Bad Ideas
      -[X] Try and find where they're taking C'nola
      -[X] Break out (fists - hard)
      -[X] Fish through Amy's records to build a device to make the portal one way
      -[X] Scan the planet to figure out what the origin of the Tachyon Shockwave was
      [X] Break out (fists - hard)

    • [X] Plan Go Big or Go Home
      -[X] Tell them everything that happened and ask for advice
      -[X] big enough for people (diff 2)
      --[X] Send T'are, V'orak, Neelix, & Kess in as back up. Priority is on rescue and finding out what went wrong in the first place.
      -[X] Meanwhile, Voyager will work on widening the breach so that the ship may pass through. (Create Advantage, Difficulty 2)
      ---[X] ...using our advanced sensors to scan the temporal cracks and find their harmonics to create a resonance. (Get an extra dice.)
      [X] Plan Cat Got Your Tongue?
      -[X] Tell them everything that happened and ask for advice
      -[X] big enough for people (diff 2)
      --[X] Send T'are, Neelix, & Kess in as back up. Other folks from the Delta Quadrant will probably be more helpful at smoothing this situation over. And we still need to figure out how to stop the planet's destruction.
      [X] Plan Gunboat Diplomacy
      -[X] "Lock onto me and Amy's combadges and beam us back to Voyager."
      -[X] big enough for people (diff 2)
      --[X] Prepare an away team disguised as the local species
      --[X] If Amy or C'nola are not transported back or only their combadges are widen it for trucks (diff 4)
      -[X] Meanwhile, Voyager will work on widening the breach so that the ship may pass through. (Create Advantage, Difficulty 2)
      ---[X] ...using our advanced sensors to scan the temporal cracks and find their harmonics to create a resonance. (Get an extra dice.)

    Okie Dokie Pig in a pokey!

    Roll me 2d20 for Neelix's sneakiness and 4d20 for D-91's astuteness (He's being assisted by Amy and Harry)

    Diff 2 for the one, diff 3 for the other!

    • [X] Plan Phage-gate
      -[X] With some quick thinking and the buffer of the comms relay, Lt. Strong gets a recording of her last exchange with Toman Ser Nurel.
      -[X] Prepare a propaganda broadcast dropping the incendiary news that the Podmasters have secretly had a cure for the Phage for decades, and were happy to cure themselves, whilst leaving the rest of the population to suffer. Ser Nurel's own words will be the punchline.
      -[X] Use samples from Nurel and Dar to corroborate this. (Ideally timestamped to before we arrived, if possible.)
      -[X] Study methods of cultivating the Phage without using people as hosts. If feasible, offer technological assistance with mass-producing organs and tissues for synthetic Phage production.

    • [X] Plan Left Hook
      -[X] What does the Voyager do?
      --[X] Anchor a flank by heading to the Binar Star System (lots of asteroids and cover)
      -[X] What does the Val Jean do?
      --[X] Hit them in interstellar space, cloaked - classic submarine tactic, bleed em a litte.
      -[X] Rough Battle Plan
      -[X] If they bypass the binary system, then Voyager hits them from the side, and the Val Jean pounces. If they go for Voyager, the Val Jean hits them from the side.
      -[X] What do your strike craft do?
      --[X] Deploy all of them to support...
      ---[X] ...the Pod
      -[X] What does the Pod do?
      --[X] Provide a fire base - all guns, all torpedoes
      --[X] Place a minefield around the Pod to protect it. (Diff 2 Check)
      -[X] What is your plan to see through the jamming?
      --[X] Try to use our superior speed to place sensor probes ahead of their position, but slightly "behind" them by the time we are about to engage, and bounce a signal off that.
      --[X] Alternately, try bouncing a signal off of the pulsar, or have the Val Jean take a look from behind just before we engage.
      [X] Plan: Deep Strike Protocol
      -[X] Prep Phase:
      --[X] Pod Station acts as a Firebase
      --[X] Mine the approaches to the Pod Station
      --[X] Use the Pod Station to saturate the direction of the approaching fleet in high energy particles to jam their sensors
      -[X] Strike Phase:
      --[X] Have Voyager mimic their trick to disrupt detailed scans at range while at warp
      --[X] Have all shuttles riding in the wake of Voyager, to be as hidden as possible and fully armed.
      --[X] The Val Jean following in parallel while cloaked, their sensor readings fed to Voyager to give as perfect timing as possible
      --[X] Perform a interstellar drive by on the approaching fleet, Voyager and all craft using a full volley timed to broadside the Vidiian Fleets Warp Bubble
      --[X] The Val Jean reacts to their change in formation to perform a follow up blow to bleed them, before dropping back into cloak and going to warp
      -[X] Voyager, Val Jean, and strike craft make their way back to the Binary Star Flank Anchor Point at maximum warp
