Where would you like to see on the other side of the new Iconian Gate?

I am starting a discussion on what and who(voice over actor) would you like to see in a gateway system that potentially can go through space and time?
I am suggesting we see the old movie reel style story of "whatever happened to..." in a cutscene movie event to catch up the story and learn lore from actual scenes and stories from the episodes and other canon materials like the movies that all tied together on the same vein, like The Q.
Dare we see the Dark Q and others in the Gamma and Delta Quadrants?
Will we see the Unimatrix aliens from the "Captain's holiday" TNG episode?
Will we meet the species that survived from the Sundering?
You tell me.... I want your input. I am trying to write a foundry tying a Mirror universe incident to the Quadrants, so please tell me the canon materials needed to do this. I appreciate it.

Romulan storyline.
I believe it's Taris, she says something along the lines of "The gates don't just work through space but time too, we can save Romulus!"
think it's also comes up in one of the Borg episodes
*SPOILER ALERT*
They send some borg back in time to kill Sisko.
Given that, Im voting for another Galaxy. That should Really open things up for us.
Personally, the most impact would be the Andromeda Galaxy. Sphere of Influence states there are some active Iconian Gateways in the Andromeda Galaxy and hardly anything about it has been mentioned except for the Kelvans that left it.
The Andromeda Galaxy was already mentioned in SoI.
It seems the Iconians retreated there.
Gimme some tentacle monsters aka Kelvans and I will be content. :rolleyes:
These missions could be part of a new exploration reputation and tie in to a revamped crafting system. The components and recipes could only be obtained by going thru the gateways and completing missions. The items could only be crafted and not available via fleet or dilithium stores.
It's just a dream but it's mine. :cool:
I like this idea.. the story arc would be inclusive to telling a story about what the Iconian influence is and the current situation in the gateway center we saw in Sphere of Influence. It would be nice to have an advanced Temporal and Anomoly study team explore the places, as these cause anomolies when they open and close, they could be tracked. So, in essence we get a new area to explore, fight, conquer and build contacts.. as well as get to see a REAL reputation system build with contacts from aliens.
I wondered, what would happen if you run into a NON violent Mirror Borg? You know... Like Hughe, but the Queen and all of them celebrate the individual Borg and greater Collective like the Q fought and did for millenia and ended up peacefully settled. There is nothing that says A peaceful, collectively driven race to adapt for keeping alive isn't out there. In this mirror, Diplomacy would be better than just *DIE* mentality and a greater challenge and flip from the *KILL IT* drive we have in the game.. I think it would be a great break from the grind. Think of all the Roleplaying options for a Borg that is a borg to save the race.. Like the ones from the Voyager Episodes "Faces" and "Lifeforms", they could be saved and not worry about a disease advancing.
What about Silverbloods? Or even Chameloids? We saw these races but never had them developed far did we?
It would make sense they wouldn't act the same as the Borg, being a full genetic copy, without knowing it. I think it would be great to be introduced to a true Silverblood or Chameloidal Race that is truely unique. This was part of what i was going to write about..
Imagine if the gate to Romulus didn't open.. where would you pick to go and Why there? How would you tell them what happened and what would you do with the gate? What if there was a race of people asking for aid and the ONLY way to reach them IS the gateway you may or may not destroy?
Anyway, my personal hope is for the Gamma Quadrant
Another Iconian gateway is located at *REDACTED*. Starfleet sends through a force of ships. We end up outside of any space ever discovered. Some star charting determines we are on the far side of the Gamma Quadrant, near the border with the Delta Quadrant and pretty close to wherever Voyager ended up.
Here we see some elements of the following:
- Borg. Fighting everyone. Duh.
- Dominion. Fighting the Borg and Kazon.
- Kazon. Fighting everyone. Duh.
- Unimatrix 0 Borg faction fighting the Borg and allied with the Dominion.
- An Iconian presence, with among others the Obex. Man, that ship should have come from somewhere.
- A new Sphere Builder attempt of creating some space for themselves. Possbile link between Sphere Builders and Iconians.
These are just some random ideas. Some are dumb, I totally agree. But think of the first 4 things. We get DS9 and VOY fans happy. Then toss in some Ent/TNG costumes and only the diehard TOS feel themselves set back. Unless we take inspiration from the Galactic-Border-episodes for storylines.
Now, its not soo hard to get new ideas for this game, right?
As for VO actor: Jeffrey Combs. AKA Weyoun. Yes, he died at the end of DS9. But who is to say that is permanent? We know nothing of Weyoun 1 to 3. Maybe one of them died crashing in an ice planet, preserving his corps. With the Female Changeling back, the Dominion extract his DNA, create a new clone, then use the technique we saw in DS9 The Search, Part II (s03e02) to teach what is essentially Weyoun 4 what happened to Weyoun 4-8. That was the original joke about Weyoun, right? No matter how often you succeed in killing him, there is always a new one to walk through your door.
And bam, the Dominion have their Federation expert back and the Female Changeling has again the "only solid she has ever trusted" back to serve her. Besides, Weyoun is awesome and you know it. Especially if we're going Gamma Quadrant.

But really, how about the far end of the Delta quadrant, would love to see ocompa and talaxions ingame.
Stereotypical Trekkie Joke Follows:
Where none have gone before...
I wonder if I'll get a warning for this?....
Also something compells me to agree with captjhunter's post as well.
Or maybe it will lead to an "abandoned" Iconian City. Maybe the Iconians could be split into warring factions
If I was Q, I would probably just create that scene to TRIBBLE with people's heads so they believe that they are just a character in a MMO.
He shall come to the World of Science and punish the Arrogant Man.
The bridge shall be built from the mind, body and soul of the Bridgekeeper.
......It hurts.
Obviously, voice acted by Denise Crosby, which shouldn't be too difficult, as she played Sela and Tasha a few months back.
I never understand why they didn't take this opportunity to make a Sela related FE.
But I guess they'll just keep adding new threats, and forget about her, just like they forget about the Undine or the Tholians.
spoilers and speculation ahead, dont read this if you want to find out yourself.
it was implied the jenolan sphere disappeared when this one reappeared, im guessing without anything to back it up that this sphere is the jenolan sphere based in part on the rep custscenes mentioning the sphere itself is a subspace transport device, the iconians may already have their claws in the delta quadrant, specifically the voth and the iconians have their agents of chaos who are completely unawares (borg based on the rep cutscene fighting voth) of this to drive the voth into the sphere and come screaming out of it in the alpha quadrant when the sphere transport happens in order to bring even more chaos to the area as it looks more and more likely the old enemies are becoming allies, feds, kdf and romulans. so the iconians can secure themselves for a return. now with the iconians gate way unlocked, they could be prepared and waiting for the right moment to strike.
assuming this is the same sphere and it was very near voyagers path out of the quadrant, they never encountered it but the sphere is now along that explored area after it transportd to the delta quadrant.

Not fake hell. Not "I'm having a vision quest hell". Not aliens pretending to be demons hell.
HELL!
Doesn't the Andromeda Galaxy also have ridiculously OP dark matter entities a la the Paan'uri from "Schlock Mercenary"? Because that seems like a great reason to NOT go there. Invisible monsters with instakill guns? Can you guys see the obvious gameplay problem with that?
And my vote is for the Gamma Quadrant.

planet playtex is also notorious for it's waterfalls of white liquid, with a greasy feel and bleachy smell
Q: Where would you like to see on the other side of the new Iconian Gate?
A: An alternate reality where star wars, star trek, farscape, babylon 5, halo, major stryker and such all came together in one giant war.

What? I think you're talking about another franchise...
I think it would be interesting to see a story-line that restores Romulus, which in turn would completely undo JJ Trek.
Alien = non bipedal plox.
