    Really looking forward to this.

    Captain Bailey seems to be as well, here's another story promo. :p
    “Lieutenant,”
    “...hmmm, what? Oh, sorry Captain.”
    “Do you need a blanket?”
    “No! I was just finishing a lateral trend analysis on...”
    “It's alright Lieutenant, I understand you've been quite busy lately.”
    “Thank you Captain Bailey. Um...what are you doing here?”
    “I need a favor”
    “A favor?”
    “I received a message from an old friend but the encryption key he used is a rather tricky one. It's the correlation coefficient from the exponential relationship between events we're both familiar with and I was hoping you might be able to help.
    “Pearson's?”
    “He's a traditionalist.”
    “Um...can't the main computer handle something like this automatically?”
    “My terminal hasn't been itself lately.”
    “Then it should just take a moment! What are the events?”
    “A certain officer's monthly bar tab and the length of time a mutual friend spent on assignment during the same period. I have the numbers right here.”
    “Gotcha, running the regression now. 0.926832, wow!”
    “He's a real basket case that one.”
    “Is that all you needed Captain Bailey?”
    “And to see how you were doing down here. Carry on, Lieutenant.”

    Yeah! Looks like things are coming along great Theta! Any estimate on timeline yet?
    Why do I still play and put money into STO?

    The mission should be ready by March at the earliest. Barring any unforseen difficulties, May at the latest.

    Edit: There's always the possibility of it arriving earlier if things go really well.

    Here's the first mission screenshot! Featuring the Memory Alpha data center.

    Image is of a work in progress. Edit: Note that "Emergence" was the old mission title before it was renamed.

    Location: [REDACTED]
    ---:
    "Good morning."

    -Enigma-
    Good morning.

    ---:
    "I presume you've started?"

    Enigma-
    Yes.

    ---:
    "This area of space is more troublesome than most. Savage Klingon conquests, seductive Federation diplomacy, Romulan duplicity, and now the return of the Iconian Demons. The last of these has grown more terrible than we had posited all those centuries ago. It'll be a shame to reignite their lust for war after they have been placated by peace but it must be done. Of course if you're successful there will only be one demon for the New Alliance to deal with while we proceed with our own plans."

    -Enigma-
    All will be dealt with.

    ---:
    "I have no doubt. If you don't mind me asking, what of the one who's actions necessitated this drastic action? The one who kept the Omnitabula from you?"

    -Enigma-
    All will be dealt with.

    ---:
    "I would never question a being like yourself. I pray you understand my concern considering all that is at stake."

    -Enigma-
    Status of your investigation?

    ---:
    "I found a lead among the information you've uncovered. My agents are pursuing it now. As you say, all will be dealt with."





    The scene under the spoiler inspired me to write this conversation:

    Sooooo....

    I just discovered (reminded more like) that there's a Next Generation episode called "Emergence."
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)

    Such is life I guess. :/

    -Edit-
    Good news! Found a new name. From now on this mission will be called "Cyber." :smiley:

    It's a good mission to the point I got to.

    One of the maps influenced by a certain part of Mass Effect 3 ?

    In case the in game mail didn't get to you.
    On the map 'Dark Matters' you have the 'Tal Shiar' group using Romulan Republic spawns. the RR are allied with the Feds thus can't be killed.

    :anguished: Somehow, I always get those mobs mixed up! Fixing it now...

    For anyone wondering, the mission has entered the testing phase. It's still a while yet before it's done.

    "Invisible object 100ft" not renamed on "A Desperate Bid" space map. 1 star!

    Wait, what's the opposite of that? Oh yeah, absolutely stupendous work!

    The final version of this blew me away. Everything was top notch but this bit in particular was very, very memorable.

    Oh, and I did find the Atalanta-Ross conversational dialog. Great work!

    That was awesome! We'll worth the wait. :smiley:

    I noticed some typos in the writings I provided- I missed a couple capitalization in my Enigma vision.

    Also I took a screenshot while in the:...
    "Virtual Data Center"...
    Does this not look like Shivorn has just finished taking a swing with the sword and is about to give a "lower torso" punch with her Borg enhanced arm? (You can see her fist under the paused message)

    I loved this map btw- that must have taken ages to line up right.. not to mention learn the dimensions of the crates to arrange them.

    Glad you liked it! :mrgreen: I really like those screenshots too (Shivorn looking like a boss right there zionus0).

    For the typos, it was my bad that I didn't catch them. Will fix that in an update.


    Addendum:
    Now I wish I knew how to make a trailer. Ah well, can't have everything.

    Mr. Nibbles is a mighty Sea Otter! Still a great combat pet but about 12,000% more adorable :P

    BTW, what's Enigma's likely opinion about small fluff balls like Mr. Nibbles? Complete ambivalence or a potential means to an end? :P

    Oh god- I only had one drink! How did I mistake an otter for my nantional animal? There's no upper teeth showing.

    Why would Enigma have any opinion on little balls of fur aside from the fact that they're organic life- would a machine not view organic life as beneath it?

    Which makes me wonder who, or what created Enigma? And why? Maybe that's the key to defeating it?

    I was thinking that Enigma's origins should take a cue from Person of Interest. The following video should help answer the question of whether Enigma would care about cute fuzzy things.

    Right, so means to an end (potential vector to influence humanoid populations and carry surveillance devices.)
