That was a year ago.
Things like this happen in Star Trek fairly often- any given precursor relic is fairly likely to not work, work once, or fail disastrously due to cumulative damage or mishandling.
That generally requires us to pass a Hard DC event check, and when we do, we get research colony options. Research colonies produce a sizeable, steady RP trickle.
On the other hand, a lot of the time we encounter ancient supertech in the form of a single artifact or a specific item, so we can't really build a whole base dedicated to analyzing it. Remember that ten research points is enough to keep a large team of scientists working and making significant technological progress in a major field of study for over a year. All by themselves. Ten research points is so much information that Spock needs a year to assimilate it all and make use of it.
Exactly what do you mean by a "Culture" research colony?
Heruv Magaan could do with an opportunity for reassignment.

As in using arcology a races culture, as in how they lived and what not. I forgot he was talking about a Research colony in game terms so nevermind.
What I'd like to know is where and the hell is Dax and the rest of the Trill?

If I remember right isn't she the future captain of the Enterprise C?

Yes. Though it's not garunteed in this quest due to butterflies.
However -a Captain that takes command of Enterprise in any continuity is probably worth something. So I'm honestly interested in following her career from here on out because there's good cause to believe that she'll still be an exceptional officer.

Well, even if she ends up captain of USS Enterprise C, she won't be the first to hold that seat.

It's less about the existence of a bioweapon that can cripple the changelings, and more the fact that such a weapon could be designed in such a way to work robustly, quietly, AND resiliently against countermeasures by a very technological advanced civilization within the span of a single episode, I think (according to memory alpha). It's all plausible, but this is "Star Trek super science for plot" territory for me.
Well, the science officers and scientists onboard explorer corp vessels must be world-class by their nature, so having them investigate such artifacts with the powerful science capabilities of an Excelsior, it isn't so unreasonable for FYM folks to take a look-see. Also, considering how expensive FTL travel still is (100kt+ warp-capable ships number in only the hundreds), and how common these ancient artifacts apparently are (discoveries are popping up pretty much every year), there may significant research opportunity costs.

Salnas's captain blew out the ship's engine trying to make a speed run to do something important, and as a result failed the mission. I think people may have died. She got in a lot of trouble.
Enterprise:
[smiles oddly] "Why do I feel like I should make a joke about a girl to die for?"
First officer, if you don't mind? Chatsworth could make a good XO for the right commanding officer, and after Deva IX, Chekov probably trusts her more than any other surviving member of his command team, though admittedly that's a very short list.
[I would like to note Chatsworth is a very competent woman who's almost the perfect example of a truly talented person that isn't fit for independent ship command, and should never, ever appear on the Explorer Corps list of captains.]
Isn't that the same job he used to have, just bounced one rank higher? Or does this have to do with the reorganization of Ops?
To be clear, she'd be finished with her command classes by now, I imagine? Her ship's been on active duty for like nine months as of the end of the year. Or were the command classes what she was doing back in 2313?
Aaaaaah. I wonder who they'll put in the chair? I imagine that they wouldn't want to throw Chekov into another furnace after his tour in the Gabriel Expanse, and he's certainly amply qualified to do Mission Control.
By now, everyone who ever showed up for more episodes of the original series than Chekov is either missing presumed dead, an admiral... or running Ana Font.

Who's the new Starfleet Medical Command director?
Hmm...let's see who else is on the panel right now.
So we're down to only three candidates? We have the Courageous and Voshev to assign EC captains to next year.
That's disappointing. T'Leea had a pretty decent career up until this point. 2 event successes on Winterwind and 2 on Salnas. Then that hard fail in a very politically inopportune time, right before the Indoria ratification.

Some more comments:
Shouldn't there be a new game mechanic in play now that we no longer have an Old Guard as director of Starfleet Personnel?
Wait...he was in charge of the GBZ escort task force. Did he chicken out after that skirmish around Sguirri a quarter ago? Granted it's been 2 years since he was assigned there, but that means we need a replacement, and GBZ escort task force commander was one that required a commander profile vote thingy.
edit: Also, this might have already been the case for a while, but I noticed that the change to sector commanders being Rear Admirals instead of Commodores is now in effect.

Hm. All three of the Captains on the Explorer Panel of Captains are Human Females. Funny how that works out.

- Mid-Atlantic
Of the six Explorer Corps ships in regular service, four of them have nonhuman captains, and two of those (Vol Chad and T'Rinta) received said captaincies within the past year or so. And the list was, frankly, getting rather picked over. So I imagine the Captain's List is a bit short on nonhumans at the moment.
Cosmic balancing for having Chad on there at all I imagine

Well, she only made commodore in 2311, so I'm not sure she's even eligible for promotion to rear admiral for another few years. T'Lorel and Eaton made that rank after about seven years plus or minus one, as I recall.
Then it'd be a while longer after that for her to make it up into a vice admiral slot, assuming she doesn't burn out on office politics and hijack the Enterprise or something.
Figure... maybe by 2325 or so?
