Episode inconsistency

edited December 2015 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I've been thinking for a few days about how in the mission "Stormbound", you send the Tox Uthat back to an Un-inhabited Risa. The problem is that means no reason for Prof. Estrogan to try to find it for half a lifetime, because only The Player, and Kal Dano know there was a Tox Uthat.

Other than that, there's the question of if you should have bothered having Dano's timeship even returning to the 2400's, since he was just going to end up going to end up back to some pre-22nd century date due to battle damage. It might have been better if you had the Vorgons, or some yet unknown faction show up, ambush us, and cause the damage just after beaming up from Risa.

    ... what?

    It's possible the Vorgons or other time travelers went back to some place before when we dropped it off, or the right time, wrong place, and in doing so, blabbed about what they were after.

    Really! Obviously you don't understand time-travel, word of mouth nor the fact Risa was inhabited. Pay attention!

    No, when we beam down in the mission, Dano says that "The Colonists" haven't arrived yet, not to mention that its raining there without the weather control.

    Perhaps before finding out that Picard would find and ultimately destroy the Tox Uthat during his vacation on Risa the Vorgons spent a lot of time (pardon the pun) travelling through time chasing rumours and red herrings. Perhaps given the remarkably casual way they told Picard about the Tox Uthat and where it was from they shared that information with others. Perhaps intentionally or unintentionally the Vorgons started the very stories that became the legend that become Professor Estragon's obsession.

    Or perhaps it happened in a completely different way..

    Correct, there are no "colonists," rather there just wasn't weather control (I can't remember for sure but maybe what you heard was "no tourists"?). Alexhayden explains the exact same point I was getting at.

    Ooops. Perhaps I should not skim through the comments before replying next time. Apologies Gulberat for the unintended duplication in our posts. Point is OP, with a bit of imagination you can easily explain away any inconsistencies in the plot. Even the line about colonists, as I thought Dano said "tourists" when I played the episode.

    Without the weather control, Risa was a rainy jungle...and there are native Risians...but maybe since they decided to make Risa a pleasure paradise with perfect weather there were plenty of colonists wanting to move to Risa?

    Why are you apologizing? I thought you did a better job of explaining it than I did. ;)

    He actually says "the tourists". Risa has a native population, so you more than likely mis-heard.

    Next feature episode, we go back in time and tell Prof What's-Their-Face, leaving to their search.

    And, as said, tourists, not colonists.
