19:10 ; If I recall correctly, if the Player-Captain is a KDF member B'vat is the one who does the distraction, and if the Player-Captain is a Romulan Republic member, it is Obisek.

[@joshuagenna3635]

Yep

[@patrickmurray2662]

I’ve played this episode twice but only on a Romulan and Reman character, by sheer coincidence. So with Obisek being the only one yelling about freedom in the cafeteria plus the random choice of those two characters, I actually thought only Obisek would help. I was very confused for a second when that detail changed...especially with the meta narration.

Where do you think Morn gets all of his insights from?

[@Werezilla]

So if TOS captains like Hale are brought to the year 2409 by Daniels that suggests that, in this timeline, Daniels brought Hale and his crew to the 25th century in order to be the Tholian's labor force. How did that conversation go exactly? Daniels: As far as history remembers your ship was destroyed over Caleb 4 by Kor's forces, a noble sacrifice the Federation will never forget. But I have good news Captain. I'm bringing you and your crew to the 25th century. There you'll be hauling cargo and performing other manual labor tasks for the Tholians. Hale: Well.....shit.

[@christopherg2347]

That is a continuity error. Introduced when they added the TOS origin, and never fixed as it was too minor. Still, it vexes me quite a bit. It is one thing for a person born in that centuri to he a captain for the Tholians, but not a time displaced person. I mean, there should not even *be* Daniels Timecops group to rescue him and send him back.

[@Werezilla]

@@christopherg2347 There is one slight issue. Walker still exists onboard his timeship. If he exists, the organization exists. Including Daniels. Even though his appearance in this episode suggest this alternate timeline is both a parallel timeline, and overrode the original timeline. Space is warped and time is bendable!

[@christopherg2347]

@@Werezilla It would be trivial to just put a scene with the timecops in: "Hey Hale, that timeline is all wrong. Could you please go and fix that?"

[@goldenknight578]

Well, according to some of the dialogue in this, Romulus is still around which means Hobus never blew up which means no Iconian War? Maybe the gang in Temporal Intelligence thinks that some of Hale's exploits are to blame, so....

I have almost never watched as many episodes of any series(except MAYBE the Simpsons and DS9) as I have of this “show.” Your storytelling, editing, humor, knowledge, attention to detail, etc is all really top-notch; it really never gets tiring listening to your stories, and I’m not exactly a big Trek fan. DS9 is really the only Star Trek series I’ve watched entirely through, so I find it pretty astounding that you’ve been able to not only retain my interest, but sincerely entertain me, throughout this series. I don’t know why I decided to post this comment on this video in particular, Mr. Ingame, the mood just struck me I suppose, but if you read it; thank you for all the work you’ve done and continue to do in order to present this series in such a fun way. I think the STO people should pay you for such amazing publicity. I would never have thought to play this game before watching your videos, and it’s a crime that they haven’t reached more people.

[@captainzac24]

Man the spacial distortions on those tholion replicators is serious business

[@andrewtaylor940]

I love the staying in character throughout these. It sells the immersion to the stories. Although this might be the one Chapter that kind of breaks the flow of the Mark Hale 23 Century a Time traveler backstory. The temporal incursion here should not have effected Captain Hale’s memory much. Because he literally jumped over the point of temporal incursion. He would have landed in a universe without the Federation, but he would still be familiar with time travel weirdness. As soon as Castillo and Tasha Yar started babbling at him about being from other times and believed heroically destroyed ships he would have been like “oh, you too? There’s a lot of that going around!” The same with his crew that time jumped with him. They would remember each other. Remember the differences between how humans and Iconian minds react to time travel. And this is why Time Travel makes everybody’s Brains hurt.

[@christopherg2347]

5:35 Well, it is certainly too traitorous for the Tholians and their Dominion allies :) 6:20 I do not know why, but T'nae sounds like she is a Text-to-Speech engine. A exceptionally good one (or well edited one), but still a machine. It is supposed to be this Voice actress: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lani_Minella While it makes some sense for her to sound that mechanical as Computer Voice or Vulcan, I hear it the same way in her other STO roles. And it does not compare with her previous Voice acting, like in Diablo 1. # You said Elims Voice did not match his body, but they do have the original actor for the role. 14:00 I guess sensing disruptions in the timeline is not a Guinan only thing! 18:00 I remember that Story being told in one of the Series. 25:20 Tasha Yar is such a backseat driver! Now I know where Sela got that from.

[@roadkillz78]

I really miss the exploration/farming missions where you went into cluster-zones on the star map and random missions were spawned (farm in space, farm on a planet; some areas had random aliens to fight). It was fun to pretend you were exploring unexplored areas in space/planets. Some planets even had buildings which might appear advanced, but were abandoned; although I know it was a random map, it was always fun to imagine who would have left such advanced tech/buildings uninhabited? What happened to the inhabitants? Despite being simple farming missions, I felt those missions made Star Trek Online more immersive and it really gave the spirit of exploration to Star Trek.

Only thing about this mission I don't like is that the T5 versions of the ship it rewards (Ambassador class for fed, Kamarang for KDF) were a limited time thing, with only the T3 versions being permanently available. With moving this mission to post Iconian war, they really need to put the T5s back as rewards permanently.

Captain Hale really seems to enjoy starship facts. Perhaps he could start some sort of video infotainment channel where he talks about a specific ship class for about 15 to 20 minutes. Perhaps on TholianTube? Idk, just a thought.

[@Peregrine57]

My guess is that this chapter makes a lot more sense for 25th century players. 23rd century and Discovery era characters don't quite fit as well. If there's no Federation in the future of that universe, then there's no Daniels to bring them to the 25th century, and Hale would be either dead in the 23rd century, or way too old to be commanding a freighter.

[@joshuagenna3635]

I mean if you put it before the iconian war and most critical events of the story it kind of makes sense.

[@Janoha17]

Who do you think is keeping the temporal anomaly open?

[@Peregrine57]

​@@joshuagenna3635 Not really. [player character] is still critical to those events, and if there's no Daniels, then [player character] dies fighting the Klingons in the 23rd century, and never takes part in those events. Neither does Tarsi, T'met, or Skavrin for that matter. Those BOFFS are unique to TOS era players, and come to the future with you. The Iconians don't survive the bombardment 200,000 years ago, and the Iconian war never happens in the first place. Only a 25th century character, makes sense in this story.

[@Janoha17]

@@joshuagenna3635 I'm pretty sure Temporal Ambassador was released between New Romulus and Delta Rising.

[@Peregrine57]

@@Janoha17 It was released in 2013, which would put it post New Romulus (2012,) but pre Iconian war (2015), but it's part of the Yesterdays War arc. The rest of that arc was released in 2016. Most sources I've found place it as a story event after the Iconian war, along with the rest of Yesterday's War. I didn't immediately notice any plot points that would conflict with it being before the Iconian war, so I guess it could go either before or after. Still doesn't make a lot of sense why a TOS or DSC character would be in the 25th century of this timeline, though. Unless there's some plot point yet to come that I'm unaware of.

[@MackeyDeez]

I dunno I have to question the Yesterday's Enterprise timeline. Because a 20 year war between Starfleet and the Klingons ending in a Federation defeat would only be a pyyrhic victory for them. Simply because they wouldn't have enough forces to occupy all of the Federation's member worlds. There would be uprising from other Klingon conquered worlds across the empire; 20 years of war is a strain on industrial resources and personnel. The Klingons would have to relinquish control over some of the worlds they conquered but, Earth they must have a sizable occupational force to maintain. Next, with the Klingon forces spread thin in attempts to crush the uprising that are going on across the empire; you can expect that the opportunistic Romulans to launch a campaign on the Klingon empire. The Romulans wouldn't sweep the Empire with five years leaving them the Imperial super power in the Alpha and Beta quadrant. The only ones who could threaten the Romulans are the Cardassians, the Tholians, and the Breen if they became an alliance. The Ferengi could be but, not enough is known about their military capabilities to say. With the Federation and Klingon empire conquered Bajor remains occupied by the Cardassians and the wormhole is never discovered on the Alpha quadrant side of the galaxy. That would be the state of the Alpha quadrant for at 500 years by my estimates.
