What stupid organization is Section 31 that they pick the House of Duras to disguise my ship? It's not like they haven't been a controversial within the Empire for centuries! Good lord I hope Drake never sends us back to WWII...
Otherwise, I thought it was a good mission. I like how the action was broken up with the puzzle in the middle. And the puzzle actually require you read the text. Again, very nice.
You've just now figured this out? I thought everyone who did Under the Cover of Night knew that. Seriously, Drake is a bungling amature. I can only assume that he slept and/or blackmailed his way to the top of Section 31.
"Captain, we are sending you back to 1940 London. But to make sure you blend in, here is an SS uniform. No one should notice you."
At the end he was telling me "Section 31 is not just some organization blah blah blah." I was thinking, "you send me back with a bulls-eye on my ship and NOW you are giving me the recruiting spill?" TRIBBLE you, Drake!
I am sending Drake a Thank-You Bomb. Without the holo-emitter I could have avoided those fights. Sure they would have seen a strange ship but unless I acted hostile I could have gotten out of that. Just pretended to be a new ship or something. Or some rich idiot's private yacht not built to conventional designs.
Sure you can have the pretense of if they suspect you are not from that time you might be altering the timeline. But unless you act like a hostile party they should just leave you alone. After all you are at a neutral space station in a neutral zone.
But if I get into a fight I will use my decidedly non 23rd century weapons. Then they will KNOW I am not from this time.
Or maybe disguise myself as a Federation ship.
But no. I have to use a holo-emitter/kill me sign.
Or, yanno, you could straight up go back as your normal ship, and tell everyone 'yes, I am from the future, NO you may not ask what I'm doing, yes, this is important, NO you don't need to know who I am, or why it is important, YET.'
Besides, you should have been able to hail B'vat (on the fed side), so that you get that enjoyable shot of him paling, and then backing down, because of that good old fashioned intimidation. Nothing like a 25th century ship, which has already beaten the daylights out of you once to make you decide you have somewhere else to be.

But I was in a 23rd Century ship to begin with.... The excelsior class ship isn't that far out. That would be like someone driving up in your driveway in a 2035 Ford Mustang. If you asked and they told you it was a concept car, odds are YOU WOULD BELIEVE THEM! Because you don't know any better.
I thought "how stupid are you" in the very first scene when the federation ship was hunting me. Why not make my ship a freighter or anything that won't attract attention from every faction.
I sure hope they do a follow up episode, cause man did I get noticed and cause some disruptions to that timeline.
Blew the Klingon lead captain to bits and shot at ships from both the federation and the empire, not to mention all the people at the station.
Whoever is in charge of issues regarding the temporal directive is gonna want to have talk/execution with me...

Section 31 "doesn't exist." Temporal investigations sees everything. That should be a fruitful conversation.
"Can you tell me why your men were in a fight?" "I cannot confirm or deny that we were in a fight." "Can you tell me why you blew up that comet?" "I cannot confirm or deny there was a comet." "Damn it, we knew you were there. Why aren't you answering any of my questions?" "I cannot answer that."
I must point out that it's days like these that make me utterly hate section 31. It's not that the concept is bad, but it's that they have no oversight whatsoever, and completely *bleep-BLEEP* it up as to make the klingon solution look more attractive that so utterly ****es me off.
At least make the president aware, and give a succinct history so he can see what little good they've done, and then have the competency to go with the secrecy. I mean, Drake makes Janeway at her most psycotic look.... brilliant. At least tonight. Plan was brilliant in concept, completely and utterly screwed up in execution.
My thought at the end was: "If you installed a Borg temporal node on my ship why didn't we use that instead of the slingshot, you moron?"
And why couldn't I get a TOS Constitution holoemitter instead of a Klingon?
A borg node that your computer some how couldn't detect, your Chief Engineer and the entire engineering crew missed and only works one way... past to present.

Rumor has it, he was caught on more than one occasion being under an Admiral's Desk. 0.o

Because then you wouldnt have been able to get up to Warp 88 to go back to November 5th 2265!
I liked the mission everything was fun, but I didnt quite understand why they gave us a mission to blow up a comet to only beam down to the station first, wouldnt the comet have left by the time we finished killing everyone?
you know what i find strange, why the hell are we even fighting ships from that time, surely we just shoot a shot with our phaser and take them out in one. i mean come on the Narada goes back takes out fleets here there and everywhere and we go back and have a problem with a fed ship and then a small group of klink ships i mean WTF
LOL yeah, when that happened my first thought was "**** you franklin..."
I bet most of us said the exact same thing, word for word. That soda I dropped when I read that and then the D7s turned on me was priceless I'm sure. Drake was tring to get us all killed I'm sure...

Pest control.
Then I'd look at them weird and go about my business haha
OK, it's needed for the story, but ...
or, we can destroy the comet now and then the Devidians on the station will go away! Just spitballing here.

No one will wonder if a Duras ship does something stupid, like aproching a fed-base or fighting klingon ships....
Why not simply go back in time to a point BEFORE the comet passes by the station and destroy it out in deep space.
No conflict.
No devidians.
No B'vat.
No casualties.
No witnesses.
Could we of been set up by Drake so that we we were the start of the downfall of the Duras family ?
Is Drake a time-agent from the future? Or part of another time traveling faction
Did we just start another timeline?
Were Drake and K'men working together?
God I hate time travel 101
Captain Paws or am I?
I was too busy being horrified at flying the ugliest ship ever invented.
Why couldn't we look like Frigates?
And furthermore, why could they even damage our shields?
It should have been like unleashing Godzilla in Tokyo.
It could of contained a computer program to lower the output of weapons....Were we meant to fail the mission so that the time line was altered..
Captain Paws
PS Section 31 and time travel. Would you turst them....:rolleyes:
Actually, I think the Narada takes the cake as the ugliest ship ever.
I understand it's supposed to be a mining vessel, but seriously.
A romulan wouldn't be caught dead in such a thing.
I bet most of us said the exact same thing, word for word. That soda I dropped when I read that and then the D7s turned on me was priceless I'm sure. Drake was tring to get us all killed I'm sure...
Engineering here, Captain.
Why are we taking such a pounding? These old ships shouldn't scratch our shields.
Its the holo-emitter, captain, its draining too much power! Our shield and weapon batteries are running at aboout half power!
Why didn't you tell me this a little sooner, Mr DaBorge?
Sorry Captain. I got a little too exited meeting Mr. Scott. He's a legend!
<You're right. I wonder if he can manage my engine room better....>
And now you know why.
