"Orders" series, by RogueEnterprise

Hello all, I would like to announce a 3-part series developed by yours truly, entitled "Orders".

This series has had a bit of a turbulent development -- I originally planned for it to be a two-parter but I hit the objective limit on Part I, so I split that up into two parts for a total of three.

The first part has little combat and is more plot centric. As I had to separate the mission into 3 parts I am definitely interested in feedback if you have it.

Orders - Part I
Faction: Fed
Level: Any
ID: HAFE8vMEH

Description:

A remote, hard to reach planet in Eta Eridani has been found to have great quantities of Boromite, which could be used to synthesize dangerous Omega molecules.

Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic and Federation governments have all agreed to quarantine the planet, which sustains an intelligent post-warp civilization. The only problem is, a Federation scientist has defied that agreement -- and if it is discovered, it could mean war.

Your orders are to report to K7 in the Eta Eridani sector block under the guise of completing crew rotations and receive more information on how to curb the situation before it gets any worse.

Orders - Part II
Faction: Fed
Level: Any
ST-HEMIZT89Y

A team of MACOs snuck aboard your ship and used you to get close to the Federation scientist on the planet of Terlara, a forbidden world. That scientist was an expert on Boromite, a substance which saturates Terlara and could be used to synthesize dangerous Omega particles. After murdering the scientist in cold blood, the soldiers disappeared into the indigenous population, eluding your capture.

A message describing your situation has been dispatched to Starfleet. In the meantime, it is up to your crew to determine how to handle the situation before Major Thrace and his team are able to do any more damage on the planet surface.

Orders - Part III
Faction: Fed
Level: 50+
ST-HTD7429TK

Your ship and crew remain in orbit of Terlara after witnessing first hand the use of the Omega bioweapon against unarmed civilians. You hope to right the wrongs wrought by Major Thrace and his squad of MACOs before things get even more out of control than they already are.

The Prime Directive is broken, lives have been lost. All that matters now is the matter of bringing justice to those that have brought tragedy and death to this forbidden world.

    An update here -- Orders - Part I qualifies for standard Foundry rewards!

    I am working through Part II and am about 80-90% complete. I am hoping to release this before the next season update drops.

    Thank you everyone who has played so far!

    I played Part I last night. It's interesting, but the "I'm on a secret mission, so I can't tell you what you need to know, plus we're going betray any trust you may have." idea is kind of a cliche.

    I'm happy to announce that I pushed Orders II live this evening and hope to get it qual'd before the Season 9 downtime. It is currently in the review phase, so I hope you will give it a shot. Banner and mission description updated in the OP.

    Mthomps016, thanks for playing! While your feedback is definitely valid, I hope you'll see where I'm eventually going with it on this series.

    Hey everyone, I've finished what I think is a pretty solid revision of Part III! It is out now, under the Review content tab.

    Orders - Part III (Beta)
    ST-HTD7429TK
    Fed, Level 50+

    It is still version 0.9, so if you find any issues with it or you have strong opinions about how the plot goes, please let me know!

    I really enjoyed this series, and wasn't quite sure how to feel at the conclusion. I could see Thrace's point, but at the same time felt that I made the choices that my captain would've. Hope that makes some sense haha. I'm quite exhausted so my mind isn't at peak performance.

    Have you thought of doing a sequel?

    Hey @captaingalrand thanks for playing! I'm surprised to see this thread revived.

    The point I tried to make with the plot is that there's no happy endings. Simply by the fact that you played the mission and decided to keep going meant that things get more and more screwed up, as weird as that is.

    I haven't really directly thought about doing a sequel, what are you envisioning would happen there?

    I'm not sure! I was hoping you had an idea haha
