If just looking at the underlined numbers, I get: 164+24+29+28 = 245

Woah there, I wasn't suggesting we actually try and pull a Rogers - like I said, it would be interesting and fun to manage the transition, but actually turning this quest into an Empire quest would lose something special.

My first thought upon reading this was "Andorian augment" before I saw the context.

Not a transition either. Not for this quest.

Well duh. What did you think I meant, that we manage the transition and then when it's now an Empire Quest we end the quest? I'm literally just saying that in the hypothetical scenario we were given an Admiral Rogers and told "turn the Federation into an Empire" that would be fun.
Why does everyone seem to think I'm somehow arguing for us to actually do this?

I stop reading this quest for like, six weeks, and this is apparently a recurring enough issue to warrant a thread banner? Good grief, what is this madness!

The discussion went - lively and imaginative - and irritated the QM(*) so much that we got a militarization point.

My suggestion for next year is to try and get a resource report on the cardassians to see if they can keep that build rate up.

Hi there. You would be amazed at what can be imagined with both time and boredom together.

I dunno, it wasn't a great commander, and seems to have lost most of its battles...good at inspiring loyalty though. All those suicidal attacks.
Almost like they're the villain! I'm onto you green lady!
...actually now I'm trying to figure out what would have happened if the Biophage had woken up and accidentally nommed the scientists on Ulithi III, then apologized to Thuir and told him not to beam down. "Look, being frozen in ice for a few thousand years gives you perspective. This whole 'all must become part of me' thing just isn't that interesting anymore. But, uh, I can't actually stop people getting infected if they come down here, so don't."
On one hand, oh god biomechanical monstrosities and those tend to trigger Trek watchers pretty hard. (And I can still hear the screams of that Taidan convoy I had to protect in Cata...honestly the only time in a game where I've ever just shut down emotionally. Pulled back to defend Kuun-Lan, killed the sound so I didn't have to hear the screams, and waited it out.) On the other hand, it's trying to be nice...?

They didn't have a problem to give the accidentally created sentient nanomachines a planet. It was a Wesley Crusher episode if I remember correctly ... brain bleach now

I suppose, but there is the fact that even a Nice Biophage would pose a deadly threat to all life it came in contact with. Regardless of whether it was trying to. Kind of awkward, that.
EDIT: Oh Q. Imagine Ainsworth having dreamed/remembered something from that reality, where the Biophage was trying to be nice, and might even be a Federation affiliate. "Attention Cardassian vessels. Do not approach. Do not attempt to beam aboard. Transmitting data packet."
Then they do it anyways, and the Federation is at war because the Cardassians think we deployed some kind of terrifying bioweapons on them.
There's even precedent for a race that can't normally interact with others from TOS, with the Medusans.

Ok, the number of berths the Cardassians are building is more than concerning.
If they plan to run them all, they have to strain their economy something fierce.
I think they plan on a full scale war against the federation, and hope to be successful enough to get money back through conquest and tributes.
