Yet another temporal anomaly?

We need your help, Chekov!

Captain Mrr'shan is going to be WERY CONFUSED when Chekov's voice from Explorer Corps Mission Control (which used to be Nash's job) continues coming through on the radio even AFTER they make the time jump.

@OneirosTheWriter , please to use this idea... [looks plaintive]

I suppose if anyone was going to, it'd be a former slave who'd worked his way up into the upper ranks of one of the House militaries.

It would be kind of hilarious if the mentats in question decided to go back in time and prevent the sun-exploding experiment. What would we do then?

I don't think Halkh would have agreed to a plan like that.

My original version of his characterization might not actually be interested in democratic revolution (I can rewrite), but he wouldn't be trying to say "I wish the Federation had never existed" after his experiences aboard the Enterprise. About the only organization I can see him trying to blot out of time would be House Korannon.

Halkh didn't strike me as especially pro-democracy, but he doesn't need to be. He just needs to be openminded enough that he can be convinced to give it a try if the old regime is failing anyway. I can see that in your characterization of him, no rewrites needed.

Anyway, if the mentats went back to prevent the sun-exploding experiments, then either a) our timeline will remain intact while another timeline is created where we never went to war, or b) the new timeline will supercede the old one and we will suddenly find ourselves not at war.

If b), then they have all my best wishes.
 
I just think it would be hilarious if the much-feared mentats decide that the best way to avoid this disastrous war brought on by their reckless science would be to do even more reckless science to cancel out the first reckless science... and it works. And we're actively happy with the outcome!

That's how many pages - since the first mention of the Ked Paddah and their little war?
 
It doesn't even need to be modern democracy, just, like an old British parliament.

A reduction in absolutism is what we want even power just moves down a couple rungs

I'm not expecting anything more than that. Best case scenario, the Licori establish a few democratic or at least pseudo-democratic institutions now, and over the course of the next few decades the balance of power shifts in favor of those democratic bodies. Hopefully without needing another civil war.
 
I wonder if we should be a bit more worried. The rolls were really bad. This might be it for the Enterprise*, dying in the process of stopping mentats from destroying history itself.

*At least until we build the Ambassador.
 
@Leila Hann The above pic is literally what happened. The enterprise turned into giant woman with lines of... stuff? lines of Federation SCIENCE! shooting from her eyes while the Licori vessel turned into a smaller giant and used it's Mentat SCIENCE!!one! to make a portal.

I'm just surprised that Temporal Affairs allow a humble Vulcan seamstresss access to these records.

Space. The Final Frontier 'Tis a silly place

Edit: Rolls have been posted?
 
Time Travel?!?

From his perspective, this is the moment that Chief Engineer Robert Kenichi was born for. Human mad science and 1980s movies montage powers activate!
 
Inb4 sometime a little less than 50 years ago a certain famous Explorer Corps ship was flying through the Aga Carmide system on the way to an assignment, when it noticed something unusual...

I'm having the same thoughts, believe me. I wasn't kidding when I said our only news of Nash and Samhaya's success might come in the form of an archaeological find.

We failed one event, failed to respond to three four events, and the Atuin needed a reroll to avoid failure. I would say that's probably most if not all of the bad luck that was referred to, which may be optimistic but I remain optimistic about this situation.

It sounds like Atuin's failure was going to be - sorry - an epic one, based on GM commentary. It would have been darkly funny if it got disabled by basically the same thing that disabled the Sappho.

Poor Chad, we need to throw him far away from the Licori, they seem to really have his number.
 
The Enterprise is probably going to be fine, if she was going to end up lost she would have gotten the reroll instead of the Atuin, the rolls were made at the same time and Oneiros only remembered the reroll afterwards, and it should be obvious which one we'd have preferred it to be used on.
 
Personally, I'd put my money on Enterprise taking a surprise trip to the Prime Timeline.

During the Dominion War.

Vorta Dickhead: Soon our conquest of the Federation will be com-
Jen'Hadar: There's a new ship coming in, and a strange frequency on subspace.

Unless it's strictly order-based, and Atuin rolled first.

Man if that's the case my precious OC is going to be the one who blew the reroll for some minor bullshit, lovely. :V
