This implies that he'll only notify me if the timeline becomes insecure, but when he says this he's really just informing me that the timeline is still secure.
Every time I log in.
On every character.
Someone at Cryptic thought this was a good idea.

I see no reason for it either, especially as I didn't alter the options and have had to hail every mission contact myself because they won't call me.
Guess it's more bugs for the master list for AoY, though I doubt it'll get fixed.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
I don't know. I am starting to agree with Patrickngo and the tholians. Just find a way to stop time travel all together. From K13 to Defiant, it seems like they are trying to keep certain time interventions happening regardless. We can all see that the na'khul assault on the tholian colonyship is what precipitated the tholian attack on their star. Two actions causing each other. But future time lords tell us to let those tragedies happen. . .

Thanks, Temporal Agent Philip Crey. Thanks. Again. For the twentieth time this week.
I'm like, couldn't you just poke your head around the corner and tell me?
I don't think Daniels is trying to stop any other timeline at all from existing, I think he's trying to stop ones that will negatively affect the fabric of the multiverse and how those different timelines hold together. If they are stable universes, they likely get left. If this isn't the case then how do you explain the survival and existence of the Mirror Universe, the Kelvin timeline or any of the countless timelines in Parallels?
It's hard to say though because time travel is treated so inconsistently in the Star Trek universe. This is likely because the two most popular theoretical models for time travel in real world physics both carry little dramatic value/consequence that works of fiction crave. Single universe theory simply states if you go back in time, then everything you do merely contributes to and creates the timeline you exist in... whereas the many universe theory states you can travel back but anything you do merely creates a new universe that has no bearing on your own home timeline... which is the one you would "return" to. Naturally Star Trek has to lean towards a model nearer the latter because we have two permanent co-existing timelines and countless others that have popped up to a certain degree.
So the only way we can reconcile Trek time travel stories is to state that characters (25th century and prior) caught up in time travel events don't understand how those events are unfolding, or how the effects they are observing in front of them relate to reality and just "wing it" when it comes to resolving a perceived crisis... whereas Star Fleet temporal agents from the future eras have a greater understanding because they can both observe the temporal mechanics at work in real time and thus predict wqhen an errant timeline is going to cause trouble for the universe.
This in my headcanon is how I resolve the competing needs of drama and scientific theory.
THIS IS KURLAND! Everything's fine.
KURLAND HERE!!!! Everything's fine.
If there are posts here that do not appeal to you, or opinions you disagree with, the best way to deal with that is to resist the urge to add comments. Instead, engage with the content you like! Don't feed the trolls!
Ah, yes. It is time to enter the Infinite-Loop Matrix. Your guide will be Mobius.

Kurland here. The Timeline has left the library. The Timeline has been saved.
Patrickngo and the Tholians... Sounds like a band name.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Hard Rock or Hot Jazz?

"Kurland here, this is Kurland, yes THE Kurland who you outrank yet I get to boss you around like a first year cadet. I hope you don't have any bad news to tell me because this is Kurland, as in Kurland is here. And please step to the side and let me do all the talking when the Dominion calls because I am Kurland. Now do you have anything to add? Here let me roll my eyes while I say that at a diplomatic meeting because your input means nothing to me. I AM KURLAND!"
*Both Crey and the docking officer pull a hysterically screaming Kurland away at this point*
the ironic thing is...i try to do that every time i come to ESD to avoid having my ship slow to a crawl and take forever to transition to the loading screen when your ship reaches the hangar opening

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
What do you mean, "reaches the hangar opening"? When you zone in to ESD system space you just have to scoot forward a bit (maybe two seconds at full impulse) and then use the "Dock" button in the low-priority interaction area (the bottom right of the screen, by default).

I am not always doing this, but I have been doing this occassionally, so I guess that's the reason for the warning being repeated every time. Some captains just don't listen.
