Starfleet has been digging up technological wonders after the discovery of Yard 39. In our latest fiction blog, we discover that they aren't the only ones looking for century-old ships.

    Also nice to see him TRIBBLE up. ;) (Admittedly, I think he already did do so in the Klingon story arc. My Klingon Captain blows up several Starfleet vessels that he calls in to delay me. That was really, really dumb of him.)

    Section 31 as the untouchable unbeatable entity never sits well with me.

    Vague references to Section 31 technology handed over to Starfleet, it sounds like it. Does it come with a "Klingon" in an meat suit?

    Great story. I can see this as a lead-in for Control coming to 2410.

      That's what I'm thinking.

      I REALLY hope that Control isn't hiding on that disk.

      And now we get to deal with the people somehow even MORE edgy than the Mirror Universe...which we're dealing with already because "Killy" is still a living antagonist.

      I can't wait for a crossover Mirror 31 lockbox, featuring all-black outfits covered in knives, eyepatches, goatees, and a "lawless attitude that does what Starfleet don't". Brilliant.

      I don't think it is at the moment. But left open just in case.

      How is Lt. Commander VanZyl still a Lt. Commander? After the Klingon arc, Delta Rising, Iconian War and several conflicts since then? There should be plenty of opportunity to advance. She should be a Commander or Captain at least.

      Harry Kim was an ensign for seven years, and is still only a captain today. Nog was commissoned Lieutenant during (IIRC) the last season of DS9, and he's just a captain too. When compared to these, LCDR VanZyl just doesn't have the time in grade to be considered for promotion. That's what happens when one of the species responsible for creating Starfleet has an average lifespan of over 250 years.

      The only way she can advance in rank is for you to create a VanZyl Character. She'd be a Fleet Admiral in two or three days. ;)

      Given what happened to her in DR, it's possible she's not been active for medical reasons.

      I enjoyed this story. It seemed longer than other stories, but still enjoyed reading it. There does seem tobe some hints throughout it too.
    • smokebaileysmokebailey Member Posts: 4,664 Arc User
      Just shows how Section 31's just a bunch of gargoyles who horde the good stuff for themselves first.

      And that you can trust Drake as far as I could throw him.

      Are you sure we did not become Fleet Admirals in a year and a half because we are just that Special? ;)

      Post-ENT Trek's mad passionate love affair with unaccountable ultranationalist terrorist deep state groups continues apace, I see.

        Actually when we first meet VanZyl back during the Klingon Arc, she's only a Lieutenant. Next time we see her in Delta Rising she's a Lt. Commander.

        Somewhere along the line, Rautert’s CO said, "The next time Drake asks Rautert to join S31, she needs to say yes."

        Mirror Section 31 would be Section 13.

        Taking down Section 31 would likely be impossible. They have no central command or leadership, they are a bunch of cells who don't even know who the other cells are, and they have been operating for well over 200 years at this point. You could very likely spend decades hunting down Section 31 cell by cell, and never be really sure you got them all as they would inevitably make more cells, recruit more members, and go even further underground then they are now.

        In all honesty, you have a better chance of totally dismantling the Orion Syndicate then taking down Sec 31, and the Orion Syndicate is unlikely to go down in any foreseeable future.

        Exactly.

        Only way I could see "taking down" Section 31 being possible is convincing them to become an official black ops division of Starfleet Intelligence, which they sort seemed to be in DSC era.

        In my personal headcanon, something happened between 2250s and "modern time" that caused Section 31 to become a rogue orginization with no connections to UFP goverment, well no sanctioned connections anyway (thus explaining the difference between section 31 in DSC and DS9).

        Section 13 runs around undermining all of Mirror Starfleet's worst operations, secretly convincing people to be nice and do the right thing. Drake is actually head of Mirror Starfleet Operations; Section 13 is run by a rogue Trill named Quinn. :wink:
