And who were the Alien Slaver's?
Question's..., questions...
I Was A Trekkie Before It Was Cool ... Sept. 8th, 1966 ... Not To Mention Before Most Folks Around Here Were Born!
Forever a STO Veteran-Minion
I hope we get to encounter these aliens at some point, they sound more alien than just funky-forehead-of-the-week with one eye and four legs.
Poor T’Von, though. More than a century trapped on an alien planet, completely alone.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
-Thomas Marrone
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
The three surviving K-13 crew seem like perfect candidates for Temporal recruitment, imo.
^This. Otherwise, it was a good read.
"No matter where you go...there you are."
Damn. We won't forget. They did good. They did real good.
And the Draconians. A species with psionic healing...wiped out just like that. The things and people we've lost.
And Drij and Nereda. Those two are awesome.
But this story hurts to the core man.
At the very least a little time travel is in order, since thanks to the accursed Protomatter weapon (*spits* I agree with Drij) we can't even recover their bodies.
Draconians, the natural demonym for a planet named Draconis.
Just one part made me a bit confused. In the Security Officer’s Log, March 29th, 1572, T'Von wrote:
"I have devised a plan of guerrilla warfare at Chief Sheridan’s request."
Shouldn't it be "Chief Nichols"? Sheridan was the nurse, and if I understood correctly he was against contact with the Draconians (wasn't "happy with all of this").
Good read missed oppurtunity.
Perhaps, but you have to realize the Agents on the story are from the 29th century, meaning K-13 fate was sealed by the 31st century, when Daniels agency works from. The records of finding out the fate of the remainder of K-13 were probably used to send Daniels to when he needed to be, to make sure what could be saved was saved, prevent the Na'kuhl plot, and set things on the path for the 29th century to figure out and complete the time loop.
That bit about T'von really hit me, especially when I realized about the time difference in the log entries. Spending about 30 years with only 2 others for company, then another 20 with just one other, to face over a century alone. But then, as she said, she Lived Long and she Prospered. May we all face our end with such simple dignity.
P.S. God damn those onion ninjas!
This part confuses me.
Long time player since week one... And while I feel more things need to be added to this game, like (actually traveling to solar systems and using a ships sensors to scan planets, find resources, or new life and to have your in game actions affect what's going on in real time. Maybe a separate deep space map with a galactic control map that shows how the alliance is doing from time to time,( expansion areas controlled my Klingons, Romulan,, Federation alliances) and if a Player decides to go against the grain could start a war with another species.. etc.. just thinking out loud here.
Or the Gorn Uprising separating themselves from the Klingon Empire.
Or Perhaps a fourth faction separated from The other three, that has no affiliation. Pirates, Traders (freighter captains) and or I dunno some sort of frontier explorer. Make use of the (all faction ships) and live outside the constraints of being part of one of the major powers.
But back on point.
I love the addition of these Stories. I've liked them all. They do add depth to this game.
This one, k-13 P4 needs to be a mission. Where we go back in time. Obviously need to return in time to a point where they defeated the alien invaders and after they established their life long relationships. But, just in time to rescue them and bring them back to K13.
Maybe have to go through some trial and error to reach the correct point in time? Maybe even save the people targeted on that world by the bomb? Change the future.
Yes. Because, if they are talking about going back to the 30th century to report to long removed descendants about long forgotten relatives, it seems an odd choice. But so does the act of going back the the century that these guys disappeared from since that information in the wrong hands might effect the timeline as it is known in the 30th century.
Is Part two - Mission: Echoes of Light?
They made 'em to last in the 23rd century
As much as I'm enjoying the Tales of K-13 series, could you alert the folks writing this that they are consistently getting the dates wrong? If they're from the 23rd century, the station didn't disappear in 2370, as that is the 24th century.
Apart from that, I'm loving this series.
Have a good one.

I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)
