Can people please stop using TRIBBLE as an abbreviation for Discovery, you know full well the abbreviation is DSC you're just trying to start an argument. Let other people like discovery, it's their opinion and they're entitled to it.

Well, we don't have to accept what you want to call it.
After 10 attempts I got the discovery episode Secrets to play. It turns out the enemy NPC ship was spawning inside the Fed space station. I couldn’t target it but with enough wide area AoE it blow up.
Onto my question I feel like I have missed something in the Discovery Story in STO as the story don’t make sense most likely because I missed a bit.
So I queue up by the Episodes page and all it mentions is a holodeck training simulation. Then suddenly at the end for the holodeck training simulation the Admiral is talking about House Mo’Kai have travelled in time to the present? How did that happen? When did it happen? I assume I missed something but it feels very disjointed.

Well, it's only a holodeck training simulation for everyone but discovery era characters. The second mission is actually the point at which Discovery era characters get flash forwarded into the future. The episode will explain everything.
Disco part2 and 3... This is suicide... like Marvel Heroes...prepare yourself for the last year of what use to be a great game...
This is exactly what they promised it wouldn't be... all Disco all the time. Not even a mention of the coming 40th anniversary of TMP (1979-2019). Classic Trek is dead here. We can't even play the old Classic Trek content anymore because they've stripped most of it out of the game to make it TRIBBLE-compliant.
I've barely played since they announced AoSTD, and I have not logged in once since it launched. It looks like I'll not be doing so until winter event, unless they slime that with TRIBBLE oozings as well. I guess I'll be logging off again after that until summer and Risa, again on the same condition they not Disco that up too.
RIP to STO, 2010-2018. It's STDO now. The only thing they haven't done yet is change the name. But the writing is now clearly on the wall.
Does anyone have a rollback server we could play?
As an avid player of STO, what is clear to me .... right now .... is that the developers seem excited to have been engaged by CBS as a partner with the content that they are rolling out. As Cryptic has said, the opportunity to be this involved with a currently airing Star Trek series is new to them, so to me that allows them some slack. I might not be as enamored of the Discovery show myself, but as far as the game goes I'm open to what they plan on introducing. I do think that they are missing a unique opportunity to allow us the choice to have a Disco era klingon character too, but that is on them.
It wasn't that long ago there was a number of users that had problems with the Kentari and argued that the use of the chemical/radioactive dusters as a prise in game desensitized the possible use or shock that would be caused by actual use.
The answer was simply skip the effected missions, and or story arc. I am sure that the DEVs get stats on how many times missions, arcs, and STFs get run. If they see that STFs and the Missions involving the current show are not run, characters not created, etc. ships from that era not played, and lottery boxes with discovery content unopened. they will move on to something else.
But the answer is to simply not play what missions, ships, toons, you don't like. But this does not mean that; "Well this one mission isn't too bad and it has a great reward!" If it has the Discovery content that you are against don't play it.
Yes you can voice your opinion on the threads without turning them into a flame war. Also people have been writing posts predicting the death of STO since launch. Go back and read them, but either flames or predictions of doom and gloom get me to skip over your messages as I read through them. And I am sure I am not alone.
So you have no knowledge of why she is called Michael?
Yes the most reported news coming out of TRIBBLE is a complete mystery to me.
The actress Sonequa Martin-Green playing Michael Burnham seems to agrees with me: “I appreciated the statement it makes all on its own to have this woman with this male name, just speaking of the amelioration of how we see men and women in the future.”
Also it was not suggested because of the archangel but because of Michael Sneed and Michael Steele. That it is also the name of the archangel was just a bonus.
The symbolism is lost on the show as I see it as there no resemblance of function. A mere reference is no argument for depth of thought.
Also, "Michael" is only construed as male in modern usage. Historically it hasn't always been used as a male name.
No it is not.
Michael is the modern form of the Hebrew name Mikha'el. That translates roughly to „Who is like god?“
It is a masculine name. That some women have it won’t change that.
Just because you may find some women who is called Bob won’t make Bob ambiguous either.
There is an actual female form of this name: Michelle.
Michael may be more often used as a males name, but it is not unheard of for women to have this name either.
Anyone old enough to remember The Waltons? Michael Learned would like to say hello.

My only complaint is still no sight of an actual, proper HD overhaul. They could at the very least, start with the starships they continuously market and produce, as well as with the character creator since that is also used heavily for episodic content, then work backwards with episode content, social zones, then older content.
Then you have no argument because you are literally saying "I don't care what the people who own the series and decide what is canon say!", meaning, you just admitted to not caring about canon, and instead, prefer your own headcanon to actual canon.

No, by the time of Excelsior there was no Spore Drive because it was not injected into the timeline until 2017. ST:3 SFS was made in 1984, there was no Spore Drive. So yes, TRIBBLE is causing a series of serious continuity issues and there is no denying that rationally.
So by the time of an experiment in instantaneous travel between two points without the mycelial network (presumably, the mechanics of Excelsior's transwarp were never explained in canon), there was no workable (over the long term) instantaneous travel between two points with the mycelial network (which would have made the aforementioned completely unnecessary.) To make this out to be a problem (as opposed to say: rudimentary) suggests that you're not here to have a productive discussion about DSC.
If you want to make a contribution, as opposed to ranting about your fellow community members, I would suggest that you take a step back and consider your points with more care. Think through your examples and try to separate your preconceptions from canon.

selective breeding IS genetic engineering - if you take something with the best genetics out of a group and only allow it to breed with something else that has equally apex genetics, you are engineering the genetics of any resulting children that pair has
how do you think most of the breeds of dogs we know about today came into being? most of them are not products of natural evolution but interference by man
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
