Gary Seven...?

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Was just thinking about 5-5-16. With the Temporal War going on whats Seven up to? Maybe we'll get recruited. Doubt it would happen but just a thought.

    Gary Seven was not from the future, he was descended from humans abducted from Earth. You might be thinking about Daniels from Enterprise, he was a time traveller from the future.

    There is really no way to tell if Seven was telling the whole truth about who he was or where/when he had come from. Spock suspected he was a time traveler, in the end it seems as if Spock and Kirk took his word for it that he was from the same time period as he had arrived in (i.e mid-20th century), but since the spin-off series never took place, there are many ways to use the Gary Seven personae.

    Should our Captain(s) find ourselves back in that time period, he/she could even find need of Mister Sevens assistance. :) It would be even more amusing if Seven of Nine traveled with us. Episode: Two Sevens, No Waiting. :smiley:

    Probably. I mean, yes. The singular. ;)

    There are some non-canon explanations of Gary Seven and who he works for that could play into a temporal war. I'd be interested if they went that way.
    My alt army:
    K'ymara, Orion Engineer. Caedera of Borg, Liberated Borg Tactical, Elyza Vix, Joined Trill Scientist. Christina Bellona, Augmented Human Tactical.
    T'Lana, Vulcan Scientist. Arbol, Martian Tactical. Ayzer Bryn, Joined Trill Engineer. Hawke, Betazoid Scientist. Karna Valkras, Klingon Engineer. Beth Parker, Human Tactical
    Sarel, Romulan Engineer (Federation). Yazuri, Reman Scientist (KDF)

    I know Seven stated that he was from the 20th century time period and there to stop a major event from happening. Future insight from the mystery world he's from? Maybe they are time travelers themselves. After all they can beam across the galaxy

    There could definitely be an interesting storyline to play out around the Eugenics Wars, huh? If you wanted to change the history of the Federation, you could do a lot of damage by nudging the outcome of the Eugenics Wars. And we'd get to play STO with a great cast of TOS characters like maybe Khan himself, Kirk & co., and perhaps Seven if you let something creep in from the novels.

    For all you Larry Niven fans, Gary Seven could be from New Terra. Well he could be if the Puppeteers came and got some humans rather than waiting to capture Longpass. tiger-35.gif

    Hey if they do this can we have playable Puppeteer Scouts? normal-2.gif​​

    Altering or preventing an Event from happening. If you remember the Race that recruited him from that time period could mask their Planet. Gary also knew Kirk and company were humans from the future as they were with Vulcans.

    Also by this time it would seem Starfleet has 'prefected' use of the Lightspeed Breakaway Factor...

    'Captain's log. Using the lightspeed breakaway factor, the Enterprise has moved back through time to the twentieth century. We are now in extended orbit around Earth, using our ship's deflector shields to remain unobserved. Our mission, historical research. We are monitoring Earth communications to find out how our planet survived desperate problems in the year 1968.'

    Who were the Race of 'Isis' that could beam people 1,000 Lightyears across the Galaxy, knew the future, could mask their Planet, etc.? To coin a phrase from another Star Trek Episode, we are just 'penny-ante operators'.

    And by 'we' I include Daniels and all this 29th or 31st Century stuff.

    Now listen, sweetheart. The Federation's moving in, taking over. You play ball, we'll cut you in. You don't, you're out. All the way out. You know what I mean?

    Love that Ep. :)

    Absolutely no reason to return to Sigma Iotia Two in game, but I'd be so much fun if we could revisit that planet only to discover they tried to copy what the learned of the Federation, via that visit and any other ships sent to collect "the cut", and ended up dressing like Star Fleet office, and still acting as they think Kirk would expect them to, yet mostly still talking like 20s gangsters. :smiley:

    See that's the thing about TOS. A lot was encountered but never revisited.

    990.7 Lightyears to be precise. However, what we have here is one Planet that can transport something almost 1,000 Lightyears away, probably to a random location. A different Planet can Cloak (or Temporally Phase Shift).

    However, we have one Planet that can precisely transport someone to a specific location 1,000 Lightyears away. They can Cloak or Phase Shift their Planet. And they know future events and what can be done to prevent or allow events to unfold as necessary.

    Certainly seems more awesome.

    I predict that Gary Seven is working with the Na'kuhl and will see him on the 5th...

    Did anyone else note on the General's ship, the distinct sound of a ToS communicator when he opened channels to the fleet to move out?

    Pretty sure that's coincidental. Especially since 5/5 is a Thursday patch day, matching the end of the last week of the current Featured Episode. There's definitely something new coming in-game that they felt was special enough to warrant a teaser of NCC-1701. Presumably, it actually involves us interacting once again with Kirk and Company. Maybe the big surprise is who they got to do voicework?

    I did notice that, but just chalked it up to someone at cryptic using the wrong sound effect.

    You mean, like how they used a sound bite for the teaser that was very reminiscent of the J.J. Entersprise?


    No... no... no... this is all a very calculated action by Cryptic...

    Anyone who puts an antenna on a tinfoil hat is doing it wrong.
