Kirk's encounter with V'Ger was a very critical time in Earth's history, If i were the Na'kuhl removing Kirk would likely end in V'Ger destroying Earth.

    Spoilers from Tribble:
    The Na'kuhl do try to kill Kirk, but you stop them. But it happens much earlier, during a certain conference.
    As for V'Ger in AoY, no.

    Unless you are extremely limited in manpower, then sending only one team against one of the greatest Captains of your sworn enemy is just asking to be beaten. With being extremely limited in manpower, targetting ancestors is the far safer alternative. What is easier to do, kill a 23rd Century Starfleet Officer with decent military training or a 18th Century Baker? A Captain Kirk might exist, but he certainly won't be the same as the Captain Kirk that we know.

    Forget V'GER. I want the whale probe. Have the Na'kuhl remove all the whales from earth so the whale probe comes back looking for them again and wreaks havoc on the planet

    so the Na'kuhl killed all the whales! now all we need to do is go back to the 80's and get all the save the whales protesters and use them to restart the sun for the Na'kuls and all will be fixed

    not till after the probe shows up for a little bit though. We could put on whale costumes to try and trick the probe for all I care after it shows up

    holographic skins for all t1 ships ftw!

    you're forgetting the whale probe stops everything from working though. We'd need to make hand made costumes for this
  • johnnymo1johnnymo1 Member Posts: 697 Arc User
    that would be an insane mini game,

    Now, to be fair for the Na'kuhl operative:
    He tries to kill Kirk after he's been stabbed by someone else and fell to unconsciousness, all while having another operative around to create a diversion. Your team just happens to find him right on time and just before Spock and McCoy arrive.

    The mission should be an auto-win if you take STO's original space whale:

    To have V'ger destroy Earth you don't need to target Kirk, but Decker without whom the mission would have failed.​​

    Removing Kirk would also likely make it fail.

    As would removing Spock or Scotty, but among them who is less likely to be well defended by temporal agents? I say the relatively obscure Decker fits that bill.​​

    There's a problem with that logic. Temporal agents kinda know what happened, right? They would send the player to defend whoever is going to be assassinated, so it doesn't matter who is the target. Kirk is only the target because People care more about Kirk than about Decker or some random ancestor from 1950 who wasn't even featured on screen.
