I'll go back and read some of the story blogs. I usually ignore them. But could this mean we may see a voiceover role for Marina Sirtis in a future Featured Episode?
When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Possible, but her history in STO is extremely limited to her time served as First Officer of the U.S.S. Titan. The evidence certainly does point to her being in the game soon. Lwaxana is another possibility since we have Bones and Scotty in the game even though they have passed away years ago.

    "Advanced age" certainly makes Lwaxana a possibility. Also getting some random to do the voiceover would be cheaper since the original actress has passed.

    and she must make the entrance "daughter of the Fifth House, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed and the holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx ..." ;)

    More likely a stand-in for Majel Barrett - advanced age, after all.

    (It's just as possible that it'll be in a story blog.)
    Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.p3OEBPD6HU3QI.jpg

    I doubt lwaxana unless they figured out how to raise the dead....wait can protomatter do that? O.O

    Anyways lwaxana was played by Majel Barret Rodenberry who passed away some time ago.

    All of this speculation will:
    - Cause threads such as this one to spread like a wildfire.
    - Make the more. ahem, 'excitable' members of this Community set themselves up for grand disappointment. Again.
    - Set people up so they look foolish and silly to the entire InterWebs.
    - Give the staff and Moderators at Cryptic and PWE a chuckle at someone else's expense.

    I think it is time to rein this in, don't you? Unless you enjoy living your life being a living punchline.

    Not the first time Lwaxana is featured in text. She was already in a blog with the President and the 25th century expy of Donald Trump, discussing about the Na'kuhl refugees.

    It doesn't have to mean anything at all. Lwaxana Troi was also mentioned in one of the blogs, and that's already a while back that it happened.


    Besides, Deanna wasn't an envoy and has far less experience in diplomatic matters than Lwaxana. So they're probably referring to Lwaxana. And since, as noted, her actress has passed away, it's unlikely that we'll see her in-game.

    Remember how Garak was mentioned the same way in the Temporal reputation and a blog? Remember how people were saying it means Andrew Robinson may show up? Remember how it didn't happen and the Temporal Cold War ended?

    And here we go again...

    I know we Lani Minella already has filled in for the voice of the federation computer in place of Majel and is the actress for Admiral T'nae, but is there anything that says they couldn't bring her in as a stand-in for Lwaxana Troi?

    In addition, for the Dominion Story Arc we definitely had the chance to meet "Da Sisko" but we don't. Not even Kira.

    Well, while this actress is a very good stand-in for the computer voice, and could potentially be good at recreating Majel Roddenberry's style as Lwaxana, it still might be otherwise untenable to get the character in-game simply because likeness rights might still be pretty pricey.
    Meaning yeah, they could get someone to do the VO for a passed actress (like with Chris Doohan RE: his dad), but Cryptic would still have to pay for the actual visual representation of the character in question, to CBS.
    And the likeness right for a Trek alum of Majel's stature might be pricey.

    That's not saying the devs can't pull it off. They do seem to be hiring on other Trek actors, even ones with very recognizable roles, at a decent clip these days, so who knows.
