But ... it's spelled "Charybdis"...
But at the same time the 'kethi we met on the colony swapped sides very quickly so maybe they're just misunderstood and would rather be back home knitting and flower arranging.
If I had to guess, I'd say that by stopping the Tzenkethi (because even if we assume the alliance is already 100% sure the bugs are bad and need to be stopped the Tzenkethi are still considering multiple-genocide as "acceptable collateral damage" so of course we're going to stop them) we end up leaving the bugs to run unchecked and become the next main bad.
They're not really memorable enough of an enemy to leave such massive gaps between them being in missions, assuming of course they were linked to those things I vaguely recall being tied to the station that timejumped. I tend to switch off when cryptic try and do a more "trekky" episode as it tends to be massive space map with tons of travel between a couple of scans or equally large ground map with lots of faffing about, more if there's doorways and petulant boffs.
I wonder if this means that we'll see a return of that Tzenkethi officer who helped us last time. It's been a while since a Boff candidate has been added as an episode reward. I know there's only a small chance, but it would be so great to see one as part of this episode's rewards.

You are totally right. I must have had a brain TRIBBLE while writing this. We have it spelled correctly in the game, but I don't know how I messed it up here.
Good catch!

Translation these days is a "between a rock and a hard place" or the simpler "catch 22". so implied by the episode title there could be a lot more than meets the eye in this mission. guess we will see when it comes.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
My guess is if so, we'll blindly support the orb grabbers and the Tzenkethi will go on a rampage with allies (T'ket?...whats the odds the bugs are an ex ico servitor race?) in the gamma quad, stepping on the toes of the Dominion with enough force to need new allies...

We still don't know what those bugs are inside the eggs or why they're such a big deal to the Tzenkathi!
clearly that means during a battle over bajor something gonna happen, like it turning out that some of those bugs are on bajor or at least one of the moons. which we find out after killing some major tzenkethi guyso the reasonable ones are in charge. they help us wipe out the bugs without killing all the bajorians. then peace will be declared without us ever brothering to actually talk things out, in less the talks are the next fe.
in that case we'll set up the talks maybe even start them than the dominion with appear/attack and we'll forgot about it in the battle.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

Who hasn't been paying attention?
For me there are just too many loose threads currently to be tied up in a single episode without bringing more into the mix.
Martok has been rescued but not really done anything despite being hailed as a possible saviour against the tzeencth.
The eggs are starting to feel like a plot macguffin to be wheeled out from time to time, little to add and being an egg have virtually no chance of giving the player any sense of threat. They were being studied but nothing in the last episode told us anything about them other than they can hatch into insects that somehow evolved from the lemming boffs who love to jump into every pit and off every cliff they find. By the time we find out it's all a dream noone will care because it's taken way too long to find out.
The Tzencth sudden change of heart in the previous episode slapped a lid and nailed it shut on any long term combat storyline. But thats kind of like the iconians who got blamed for everything but didnt actually do all that much, also the wasted potenital of an iconian based red alert.
There was also the whole kentari thing which seemed to have skipped an episode so after the overly obvious betrayal they're suddenly making a colony full of warm fuzzy feelings on a planet in a system they were too stupid to scan beforehand. (Also that episode should really have been a two parter with the ship fight as a cliff hanger)
It's kind of like GoT where one series builds the story of the seer and tree then drops it totally for the next series in favour of some tacked on religious zealots who arrive, make a mess then go out with a bang. Maybe they made more sense if you'd read the books.

"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."
