AND
Security		 While wounds from Wolf 359 linger, it is the Federation's decision to work with the Borg in more recent years that has led to suspicion and outrage from other factions - and questions about whether this alliance is as recent as the Federation claims. While it takes some convincing on the Borg side, your away team grants the concerned parties the opportunity to conduct their own inquiry, ultimately allaying their concerns. Your away team's insistence on defending the Federation-Borg alliance has led to such great suspicion, your team is forced to submit themselves for evaluation to ensure they are not drones themselves.
Fallacy Engineering Security Command Science
OR
Engineering		 Diplomacy
OR
Command 		Members of the Dominion are demanding a trial after a hack of Deep Space Nine's systems reveals information that suggests Starfleet violated a host of treaties and agreements during the Dominion War. Investigate. Your away team investigates and finds the hack came from a Vorta visiting the station, one who may have added or embellished some details. Still, Starfleet higher-ups agree to meet with those from the Dominion in order to address any concerns. Your away team's attempts to run interference and persuade the Dominion in the Federation's favor has only intensified their concern.
Non-Interference Science Diplomacy
AND
Command		 Command
AND
Engineering		 Medicine A group from a pre-warp species who went extinct from a virus while a nearby Starfleet vessel decided not to interfere has arrived in the present. They learn not only the truth of space travel, but of their ultimate fate and demand justice. Your team meets with members of that ship and learns they did not believe the result would be extinction, thus leading them to prioritize the Prime Directive. You share your findings with the group, then help them to settle in a new home. Your away team's attempts to gain answers only seem to reopen and deepen old wounds.
Pioneering Pain Medicine

Security		 Engineering
AND
Security		 Command
AND
Engineering		 Early Starfleet ships that departed after the NX-01 but didn't get the same amount of attention have come for their due, insisting that in their haste to deploy other ships, safety evaluations were neglected that led to injury and death. Investigate. Investigating their claims, your away team finds evidence of negligence on the part of Starfleet and works with higher-ups to provide them restitution. Your away team is blocked from investigating by certain Starfleet higher-ups.
Q Alert Diplomacy
AND
Engineering		 Command
AND
Security		 Security Science Other factions have become suspicious of Starfleet regarding the constant involvement of Q in certain officers' affairs. The immortal shows no interest in clearing up any misunderstandings, so Picard requests your help. Your team convenes an inquiry where the other factions can address their concerns directly to the officers in question. The other factions quickly realize how much trouble frequent Q visits can be when Q himself appears and begins causing trouble. Your attempts to convince those concerned leads them to seek out their own immortal allies. Q is amused by the chaos.
Responsibility Science Command Diplomacy
AND
Security		 Security
AND
Command		 Trouble brews from within the Federation as certain legacy members of the Vulcan High Council, now here in the present, have called into question the actions of many human captains over the years. Address their concerns. Following an investigation, your away team meets with Vulcan higher-ups past and present and addresses their concerns. You also demonstrate to them the good human members of the Federation have done, managing to ease their objections. Your away team's attempts to persuade the Vulcans only seems to intensify their mistrust.
Trespass Command
AND
Security		 Security
AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy
AND
Command		 The Federation's centuries of space exploration have not been without missteps, which led them to breach clearly established boundaries and borders. Some factions that have established those boundaries insist the UFP answer for their trespasses. Your away team convinces higher-ups to give their detractors an opportunity to make their concerns heard. The show of goodwill does help to build some galactic goodwill. Your away team's insistence that Federation higher-ups sit down with their detractors only makes the higher-ups become more stubborn.
Universal Diplomacy
AND
Security		 Command
AND
Engineering		 Engineering Science The development of the Universal Translator has enabled the Federation to connect with species across the galaxy, regardless of language. But a study of the tech by a visiting ambassador has raised some concerning security questions. Investigate. The concern is how the data for the translator is collected. Your team reviews the system data for the ambassador's language and proves all data collected was from regular public conversation and not from private or privileged communication. Your away team is unable to convince the ambassador of the safety of the translator.

Command		 Security
AND
Engineering		 Engineering
AND
Command		 Citizens of a Cardassian colony have recently fallen ill in large numbers. The heads of the colony are convinced Maquis colonists are responsible, by poisoning the water. Elim Garak asks you to investigate. Your investigation reveals that the Cardassians had poisoned the Maquis food supply, hence the suspicion that this outbreak was retaliatory. But a study of the water finds the culprit is actually pollution from a Cardassian facility. Your attempts to investigate are impeded by the Cardassians.
Challenge Diplomacy
AND
Command		 Security
AND
Engineering		 Science Command An inquiry has been launched into Janeway's time in the Delta Quadrant after an anonymous tell-all claiming to be from a Maquis crew member reaches Federation citizens. Chakotay asks you to investigate the matter. Your team discovers a leak of numerous records from Voyager's systems - everything from Photons Be Free to Tuvix's medical records - and that it was used by a gossip writer to construct a convincing tell-all to make money. The writer is questioned. Your away team is unable to gather any further information.
Clean Hands Engineering
AND
Command		 Diplomacy Security
AND
Engineering		 Command A Cardassian gul has accused a group of Maquis colonists of abducting several of his own people and, believing the worst fate has befallen them, demands the harshest punishment possible. Investigate. Your team learns the gul was operating a labor camp that the Cardassians insist wasn't sanctioned by them. His abducted people were actually imprisoned colonists freed by fellow Maquis. Your evidence forces the Cardassians to deal with the gul. Your investigation oversteps into the gul's territory and he threatens your away team with harm if they come any closer to the complex he manages.
Cohesion Science Command
AND
Engineering		 Diplomacy
AND
Security		 Medicine A team of doctors of human, Bajoran, and Cardassian origin find a treatment for a virus endangering Maquis and Cardassian colonists alike. But when it leads the virus to develop a resistance and become more dangerous, who, if anyone. Is to blame? After an inquiry, your away team is able to prove no signs of malice in the treatment's failure. During their research, your away team also discovers a cure for the illness caused by the virus. Your away team's investigation into the team only deepens the divide between the doctors and the factions they hail from.
Harsh Light Diplomacy
AND
Engineering		 Security Command
AND
Security		 Science Maquis colonists are turning the heat back on the Federation, petitioning to have their years of grievances heard once and for all. All eyes are the Federation and their response. Admiral Janeway enlists your help in finding the best approach. You meet with Maquis and Federation representatives and an inquiry is opened. Issues of immunity are still in discussion, but the Maquis are grateful that their concerns may finally be heard. The response to the Maquis request has been volatile, within the Federation and without. The higher-ups table any inquiries for now out of fear of stoking any inter-factional disputes, outraging the Maquis.
Head Hunting Command
AND
Engineering		 Engineering
AND
Security		 Security
AND
Command		 A recent ethics complaint against a Starfleet ensign with a mysterious background is only the newest in an ongoing series of similar complaints. Tom Paris has his suspicions and asks you to investigate. Your team finds Starfleet recruiters are targeting children of Maquis rebels and assigning them to particularly controversial missions where their experience and grey morality may benefit Starfleet while giving them plausible deniability. The more your away team investigates, the more it seems higher-ups in Starfleet are intent on shutting them out.
Mutual Benefit Command
AND
Security		 Security
AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy
AND
Command		 A new Maquis cell has appeared - one containing many disenfranchised Romulan refugees who feel abandoned by the, Federation's incomplete evacuation program. Whispers of an imminent attack have Starfleet on high alert. Laris asks you to investigate. Your team learns the way Romulan refugees were treated has reopened still healing wounds for members of the Maquis as well. You seek out the leaders of this new cell, beginning a dialogue that will hopefully lead to a peaceful resolution. During your investigation, your crew comes under attack, suggesting that you may have only further ignited the new Maquis cell's outrage.
Shadow Fleet Security Command Engineering Diplomacy
OR
Command		 Science
OR
Engineering 		Unmarked vessels with patchwork parts from a variety of shipbuilding backgrounds have been attacking ships, raiding them with their faces obscured, and stealing vital components. While the Maquis are suspected, Torres asks you to investigate. Your away team investigates and finds this is a wholly separate group of pirates that is intent on remaining unaffiliated and unrestrained by any one society. You manage to intercept their next attack and bring them in. Your away team is unable to find any further information on the raiders.

Article 14 Command
AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy
AND
Security		 Security
AND
Command		 Some of Section 31's activities have been exposed lately and despite Starfleet higher-ups trying to wave it all away with Article 14, outrage is brewing. Outrage that could threaten some important operations. Intervene. Your away team helps Starfleet launch a campaign to address the myriad concerns while also keeping Starfleet Intelligence and Section 31's current operations under wraps. Your away team's attempts to appease public sentiment end up revealing classified intel that not only increases public outrage, but jeopardize several critical operations.
Breach Engineering
AND
Command		 Security
AND
Engineering		 Command Security Section 31 systems, despite myriad security precautions, have been hacked. Intel regarding active and past operations has been leaked, stoking outrage at those operations as well as at the Federation's shady activity. Restore the UFP's good name. While investigating the hack, your away team learns it may have been a disgruntled operative. Apprehending them leads to a shift in focus, allowing Section 31 to handle other concerns in the shadows. Your away team's attempts at securing Section 31's secrets only worsen the situation.
Double Duty Security
AND
Engineering		 Engineering
AND
Command		 Command
AND
Security		 An investigation into a diplomatic transport mission that led to the death of the diplomat suggests members of the crew were also working for Section 31. They refuse to implicate each other or the shadow organization. Bashir asks you to investigate. Moving away from the implicated crew members, your away team investigates other facets of the murders and discovers the diplomat may have taken his own life, afraid of facing his own tribunal for crimes he committed long ago. Your away team is unable to gain any further intel.
Faint Trail Diplomacy
AND
Command		 Command
AND
Engineering		 Security Engineering Section 31 endeavors to operate in the shadows, but with so many of their past targets now in the present and comparing notes, their existence and scope of operations may be unveiled! Help maintain their secret. Though it places your away team in some precarious situations, you all manage to erase certain pieces of evidence that threaten to reveal Section 31 or their operations. Your away team is caught destroying evidence for Section 31.
Irregular Maintenance Engineering
AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy
AND
Security		 Command Security The destruction of a Romulan vessel believed to be harboring one of the Federation's most wanted has now led to an inquiry, as allegations abound that this was not an accident, but sabotage. Investigations reveal no concrete answers that suggest sabotage by Section 31. The Romulans remain unsatisfied, but withdraw their allegations. Your away team's probing and investigation seem to only serve to cast further suspicion on Section 31.
Planted Command
AND
Security		 Diplomacy
AND
Engineering		 Security Medicine A Section 31 operative sent to live on a Dominion world to gather and send information back to the organization stopped communicating years ago and was believed dead. Now a Vorta ship has claimed the Federation answer for their spy. Investigate. Your away team investigates and finds out the operative actually fell in love with a Dominion citizen and ceased spying. You help the couple escape to a new home, away from both the Dominion and Section 31. Your away team's investigations only intensify the Dominion's outrage.
Power Over the Past Engineering Security Command Diplomacy
OR
Security		 Science
OR
Engineering 		Information about the DTI has leaked, causing a great deal of concern, as well as a race for any temporal technology they may have. Secure the DTI's top secret tech. Your away team intercepts any would-be intruders, but when you go to inform Dulmur, he and his cohorts have completely disappeared. Your away team is ambushed by individuals desperate to get back to their time.
Silence Diplomacy

Command		 Command
AND
Security		 Security
AND
Engineering		 A diplomat critical of the Federation's "shadow organization" is found dead and now all eyes are on Starfleet. Investigate the diplomat's death. On investigating the diplomat, your away team finds that he may have been a spy himself. Though your investigation into his death lead to inconclusive results, some members of your team are uncomfortable with the possibility he may have been killed. Your investigation leads members of your away team to question what they know about Starfleet. The discord makes it hard to continue your investigation.
