There's also a letter from Hakeev and some indication that the person who hid the message for you under the rock and tipped you off about the base is someone with Tal Shiar Access codes.
I've also been reading the New Romulus lore dailies.
There is a gateway "thousands of years old" in the crypts below the ruins according to Volume 3, Chapter 3. Apparently, all it needed to activate was a power source.
Volume 5, Chapter 5 is about a Romulan going mad. His family has left. He has a pounding in his head and is being taken over by some kind of hunger.
Volume 6, Chapter 6 is about the ancient battle is Vastam. The big takeaway for me is that the Romulans were element worshipers.
Comments
Hmmm. I see my guess about the third part may be only 1/2 right.
Someone with Tal Shiar access who doesn't like Tal Shiar, or perhaps more accurately, doesn't like what the Tal Shiar had become under Hakeev. I think we are seeing another "friend" unaccounted for from Hafir...Commander Janek.
I'm not seeing anything, just standard go here press f missions.
Where am I supposed to be to see the cutscenes? when the timer cools down? Do the new missions come from the main Romulan leader?
You get missions from a mysterious person telling you to look under a rock in the staging area and then to check shuttle logs in the mountain pass.
Is this a joke like telling me to look for the rocket boots at SFA? Where is this mysterious person, and why do I have to deal with the 156th variant of a Cryptic mission where getting the quest, finding the quest, turning in the quest, or knowing where to go to find the quest is completely random?
The only one I've seen is the first one between the Reman and the Romulan leader. I'll have to look for a city gate now. All I've been doing is run here, press f (or fight). The game never told me to do anything otherwise.
The whole plot here centers around the idea that we're getting mysterious tipoffs from an unknown informant. By Tier 2, your bridge officers start commenting on how irregular this person is.
And this is an MMO. You're supposed to wander around looking for undocumented stuff. Although it is all marked on your mission map.
OK so there is a story to the grinding progression if you wander around looking for a story to complement the grinding progression. Good to know. I will check my map for anything not resembling a grinding progression to give a story to the grinding progression.
How do I get that mission and how does it appear as a mission to do? I don't see anything in my logs. The only thing that I see is a daily to go here and press f that that Romulan leader gives me.
Where do I go exactly when I beam in at the starting grounds? To the doors of the embassy?
I'm supposed to do this WHILE i'm in the Mountain Pass mission, not after it, like the first?

Guess I'll have to wait 20hours and have to do the mission again to get it.
Seems like a not so good design.
I mean, in the first, the cinematic was "outside", in the staging area, but this time it's hidden in a time gated mission.
Perhaps "Access Shuttle Flight Recorder" should be apart of the regular mission requirements, and then you access the cinematic back in the Staging area, at a console near the shuttle pad would be better.

Personally, I'd prefer the tier missions be open and not timegated but that the missions that gives them rewards be timegated, kinda like the space patrols in the New Romulus era are.
(You can do the space patrols all day long but only for a mission reward once a day.)
Nice suggestion, I like it.
Luckily some guy in the chat was willing to explain where to go.
Frustrating fight really. Albeit I don't set my doff's up for flanking or anything, just let them roam free.
The npc's there, even the smaller ones were all-star dps and tanks at the same time but eventually got it done.
I don't know if it's me or but I am pretty sure the guy in the cutscene is the guy I just wasted in the last fight.
I still don't know who anyone is or remember any names or even what the convo was about :rolleyes:
The cutscene was a log of what happened before you got there.
Basically, the lady wanted to kill the leader of New Romulus. The guy said, "No. He'll be a martyr then. Let's soften him up with Hirogen and he'll negotiate. We have more important things than the colony to deal with here anyway."
The more interesting thing is what your BO points out, that whoever has been giving you these video logs has Tal Shiar access codes.
Advisor: "Sir, we need to crush the bad guys!"
Leader: "No, I disagree with you completely."
Advisor: "Yes, New Romulus needs a leader. You are that leader!"
And then,
"This proves that unification is possible, since the Klingons and the Feds have put their differences aside to work together..."
We don't seem to be working together. I guess technically we are. I haven't interacted with a single Klingon yet that I remember. The end of our hostilities is not really explained.
Well, maybe the mystery shrubbery with explain more. I'm off to find the story bush before I hit Tier 2, if I didn't hit it overnight.
Are you talking about the conversation between Obisek (the Reman) and D'Tan?
Because the gist is:
"We need to crush the bad guys."
"No. I'm a pacifist. We should embrace our enemies."
"Well, hey. I hate politics and taking a leadership role. Just point me where to fight if you want a hand. You lead."
"Okay. Spock, Spock, Spock is my hero, Spock."
But it's all character appropriate. D'Tan was a kid on TNG who admired Spock and was his student. Obisek is a Reman freedom fighter who likes fighting and is cool with anything that isn't slavery.
Obisek is a kind of Cincinnatus/George Washington/Malcolm X hybrid figure. D'Tan is kindof a Lincoln/Plato/Neville Chaimberlain hybrid figure.
Things probably won't go well for D'Tan personally if history is any indication although that doesn't bar some major accomplishments. Obisek will almost certainly end up with more leadership duties than he cares for if history is any indication.
The one thing that could save D'Tan's bacon, maybe, is us and our mysterious helper.
Basically, we've got a weak leader who is a good man and is opposed philosophically to strong leadership. And that's D'Tan. And he's in charge. And then we've got the freedom fighter who seems to continually have leadership thrust upon him and doesn't want it.
If the historical pattern holds, D'Tan will probably wind up dead. (Note that he's not visible in any social areas.) And Obisek will wind up as Praetor of the New Romulan Republic or whatever the Unificationists call themselves, dealing with internal strife due to a Reman soldier leading a majority Romulan political body.
But Trek can buck history sometimes. See: Picard/Riker. In real life, I tend to think a Picard would get killed, promoted, or reassigned to make room for a Riker but part of what makes Trek different is that they have a future where the Picard-type can stay over the Riker type. It's kindof a fantasy world where your Chamberlains are right and your Churchills need to learn their place as second in command. And I suppose that's true to some extent in stable societies or organizational structures where the number two in command is the attack dog and the chief is a peaceful negotiator with lofty goals and ideals.
But add a little instability and that model of leadership tends to fall apart.
You think it's Ahkeev's subordinate from Mine Enemy?
On a related note, does anyone have a list of the unlockable dailies? I just today found the Warehouse mission and I'll be starting Tier 4 on Sunday.
Could be one of those Quantum realities I suppose.
