Alpha and Omega: Section 31

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
A Gentleman's Game	AND	AND	AND	AND		Secret Agent Bashir is no friend to Hippocrates Noah, but the dashing agent isn't willing to work with Section 31. Join him on a mission and prove that even a shadowy organization can still operate with style.	The away team helps Agent Bashir take out some of his enemies with quick-thinking, good looks, and, of course, a dramatic explosion. Thanks to their performance, Bashir agrees to team up with Section 31.	The away team fumbles a dramatic entrance and tips Agent Bashir's enemies off to his presence. The agent remains convinced that his style and Section 31's would not mix, no matter how dire the situation.
An Endless Intelligence		AND	OR	AND		The M-5 multitronic unit could help pinpoint the location of trace Omega molecule sensor readings, if you can install safeguards to keep it from gaining control of Section 31 systems beyond its search parameters.	The M-5 puts the away team's safeguards to the test, but they ultimately keep its vast intelligence contrained. With its help, Section 31 narrows its search for Omega molecules down to three systems.	The away team's safeguards aren't enough to keep the supercomputer from taking control of the Section 31 base housing it. The whole base is shut down to prevent the M-5 from causing any harm.
Clipped Wings	AND	AND	AND			Hippocrates Noah's occasional associate, Falcon, was picked up by Section 31 while trying to rob a freighter. Get him to tell you what he knows about Noah's plans and progress on the Omega molecule.	Even a grizzled gun-for-hire like Falcon can't stay silent in the face of the away team's intimidating questions. He gives them several leads about the location of Noah and his research.	The away team questions Falcon until they're nearly blue in the face, but his only response is a crooked sneer. Whatever he knows about Noah and the Terran Empire's plans, he clearly isn't going to share it.
Dark Times, Dark Work	AND	AND	AND	AND		Section 31 has received reports than an underground lab on Terra Nova is part of the Omega molecule project. Cut off the lab's power supply to ensure that they won't be getting any work done.	The away team splits up into two groups, one to sabotage the lab's power lines and the other to take out their backup generators. With their lab completely disabled, the researchers must abandon their work.	The away team succeeds in cutting off the secret lab's power supply, but they fail to account for its backup generators. The lab continues its work on the Omega molecule, now with heightened security.
Empire Eyes Only	AND	AND	AND	AND		In order to identify which Terran Empire scientists are working on the Omega molecule project, Section 31 has asked you to gain access to a subspace relay and intercept any relevant communications.	The away team installs a subroutine on the relay to send information on the movement of scientists or flagged resources to a secure Section 31 channel. Some of the intel hints at Hippocrates Noah's location.	The away team's shuttle is spotted circling the relay, and the Terran Empire does not appreciate the attention. Several ships open fire, driving the team away from their target.
Exit Strategy	AND	AND	AND	AND		Once Section 31 has whatever Omega molecules the Terran Empire has created, they'll need a safe place to dispose of them. Investigate whether the Barzan wormhole's current endpoint leads to empty space.	The away team makes the risky voyage through the ever-shifting Barzan wormhole to a deserted region of space. As long as the endpoint remains there, this is a perfect spot to dispose of the Omega molecules.	While traveling through the wormhole, the away team accidentally triggers a graviton pulse that sends a shockwave through the wormhole. They quickly reverse course back to the safety of the Alpha Quadrant.
Hiding in Plain Sight	AND		OR	AND	OR	Section 31 believes the Terran Empire is keeping Omega molecules in one of its most heavily guarded bases. Retrieving them undetected would require nothing less than a wearable interphasic cloaking device.	The interphasic cloaking devices the away team develops can only function for short periods of time, but it's enough to get them in and out of the Terran Empire base. Its Omega molecules are now in Section 31 hands.	The away team's attempt to create a wearable interphasic cloaking device are [sic] not only a failure, they also attract attention and several reprimands from Starfleet in light of the Treaty of Algernon.
Piece by Piece	AND	AND	AND			The quickest way to destroy the Omega molecule—destabilizing it—is also the most dangerous. Construct a resonance chamber powerful enough to disassemble Omega molecules down to their atoms.	The away team's new resonance chamber is far larger and more efficient than any Section 31 has ever seen. It will allow them to safely disassemble many Omega molecules at once.	The away team's resonance chamber is too slow and unstable to successfully disassemble an Omega molecule. Section 31 will need another way to destroy them without damaging subspace.
Plan for the Worst	AND	AND	AND	AND		Section 31 wants a working model to predict just how much damage a weaponized Omega molecule could do. Gather data on the fallout from the Lantaru sector, where such a molecule once exploded.	The away team charts a careful course just outside of the region of the Lantaru sector where subspace has been shredded. Section 31 immediately begins constructing a worst-case scenario model from their scans.	While surveying the Lantaru sector, the away team strays past the sector's border into the region where warp drive is no longer possible. They have to set aside their survey to focus on making it home.
The Scientific Method	AND	AND	AND	AND		Hippocrates Noah is kidnapping scientists and forcing them to work on the Omega molecule. Professor Tolen Ren has sent a distress call from the compound where they are held, but it's up to you to rescue them.	The away team rewires the compound's alarm system to distract the guards while they free the captured scientists. All are grateful to no longer be a part of Hippocrates Noah's plans for an Omega weapon.	Before the away team can make contact with the captive scientists, guards spot them sneaking through the compound and force them to retreat. The prisoners will likely be transferred to a new location.

Beauty in Harmony	AND	AND		AND		Talarian Alba Ra music is an acquired taste, but its unusual harmonies could offer a theoretical basis for using harmonic resonance to stabilize Omega molecules. Have an away team study this genre and report back.	Once they get used to the sounds of Alba Ra, the away team identifies a harmonic framework which could have useful molecular applications. They translate this into physics terms for Terran Empire researchers.	The away team's main conclusion from listening to Alba Ra is that it is best experienced in small doses. Nothing they've learned about its harmonics will be helpful in the Omega molecule project.
Blindfolded	OR		AND	AND	OR	As per the Omega Directive, all Federation sensors automatically scan for traces of Omega molecules. Find out if there's a way to hide the molecules' distinctive resonance frequency and avoid unwanted attention.	When different attempts at shielding fail, the away team suggests carrying out this research underground. Kilometers of planetary crust should be enough to hide Omega molecule traces from Federation sensors.	The away team experiments with different kinds of shielding, but none are enough to foil powerful, long-range sensor scans. The Federation may have eyes and ears on the Terran Empire's work before it is complete.
Closing Ranks	AND	AND	AND	AND		Convinced there are enemy spies among his own minions, Hippocrates Noah has barricaded himself inside his mountain fortress. Screen all personnel for any suspicious activity so that Noah can return to his work.	The away team identifies two potential Maquis informants and one very suspicious technician who is most likely a Section 31 agent. With these threats out of the way, Hippocrates Noah eagerly resumes his work.	When the away team's security screening fails to turn up anything, Noah berates them for their incompetence and insists on screening everyone again himself. He won't be returning to his research any time soon.
Dasvidanya	AND	AND	AND	OR		KGB operative Anastasia Komananov is hot on Hippocrates Noah's trail, and she's not one to give up easily. Send a distraction Komananov's way before she interferes with the Terran Empire's research.	The away team finds a timeline where secret agent Nigel Dunlap never went into retirement, and points him in the direction of Komananov. The rival agents should keep each other occupied for quite some time.	The away team lays several traps for Komananov but she somehow escapes every one. Komananov is in the wind, and it won't be long before she begins obstructing Noah and the Terran Empire's plans.
Dead Stop	AND		AND	AND		The Terran Empire wants to know whether a weaponized Omega molecule could defend against the Borg. Run a simulation to determine whether the molecule's effects on subspace will stall Borg transwarp drives.	The away team's thorough simulation proves that the devastating effects an Omega molecule explosion has on subspace would also halt a Borg transwarp drive. Such a weapon could be a turning point for the galaxy.	The away team's limited knowledge of transwarp drives makes it impossible for them to construct a useful simulation. There is no way to tell if Omega molecules could be used to stall Borg vessels.
Great Minds	AND	AND	AND	AND		Several criminal masterminds have taken an interest in Hippocrates Noah's work, including the Professor. Arrange a meeting of these two great thinkers to gain the Professor's insight on the Omega molecule project.	Although Hippocrates Noah and the Professor come from very different backgrounds, the away team helps them recognize their common interests, and the Professor agrees to take a look at Noah's research.	The Professor and Noah agree to meet, but the away team can't keep things civil when Noah's passionate speeches begin to grate on the Professor. He leaves early with a very cold, pointed farewell.
Honey and Vinegar	AND	AND	AND	AND		Hippocrates Noah wants to kidnap Ferengi physicist Reyga to help him research the Omega molecule, but it would be simpler for all involved if you can find a more diplomatic way to get Reyga on board.	The away team assesses Reyga and appeals to him as a scientist rather than a stereotypical Ferengi. He is convinced that working on the Omega molecule is too incredible an opportunity for any scientist to pass up.	The away team tries to bribe Reyga to join Noah's research team, but although he is somewhat tempted by the offer, the physicist has too many ethical concerns about working under such dangerous leadership.
Safe Passage	AND	AND	AND			The Terran Empire wants to transfer several Omega molecules to a more advanced research facility. They've asked for addtional security to ensure that the transport convoy reaches its destination in one piece.	The Maquis attack the transport convoy halfway to its destination, but the away team leads the Terran Empire's ships in a swift and effective counterattack. The Omega molecules reach the new facility safely.	A Maquis attack takes the away team and the transport convoy by surprise. Unable to get past the Maquis, the convoy is forced to reverse course and return the Omega molecules to their original laboratory.
Seeing Shadows	AND	AND	AND			Give Section 31's watchful eyes something to focus on by spreading reports that Romulan ships have been spotted in the Neutral Zone. This should keep their attention away from the Omega molecule project.	The away team fabricates reports from three different outposts along the Neutral Zone border and sends them on unsecured channels. Section 31 is sure to be distracted while it investigates them.	The away team's fabricated reports do not match the usual style and format of those from their supposed outposts of origin along the Neutral Zone, and they are identified as fakes.
Time and Time Again	AND		AND	AND		Gain access to the USS Bozeman's records to find a way of generating a causality loop such as the one it was once trapped in, as a failsafe for trapping destabilized Omega molecules before they explode.	Based on the Bozeman's records, the away team comes up with several different theories for generating a temporal causality loop. Terran Empire scientists begin testing these theories at once.	The Bozeman's records of its time in a causality loop leave the away team struggling to wrap their heads around the temporal mechanics involved, with nothing to contribute to the Omega molecule research.

Alpha and Omega: Maquis

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Countdown	AND	AND		AND		A Maquis raider has stolen a canister of Omega molecules from one of Hippocrates Noah's laboratories, but now the molecules are beginning to destabilize. Board the ship and stabilize them before it's too late.	The away team tunes the containment field to the Omega molecule's own resonance frequency of 1.68 terahertz. This stabilizes the molecules for now, long enough for the Maquis to get them somewhere safer.	Unable to stabilize the molecules in time, the away team resorts to transporting them through a nearby temporal anomaly. The Maquis raider is saved, but the Maquis have one less source of Omega molecules.
Laws of Nature	AND	AND	AND			Thrown from his own time, Isaac Newton views the temporal crisis as an incredible research opportunity. An intellectual debate might convince him to join the Maquis research team—but only if you can win.	The away team's well-reasoned arguments convince Newton that the Maquis are serious about harnessing the Omega molecule as a power source. Never one to turn down an intellectual puzzle, he agrees to help.	The away team's arguments misrepresent some of the fundamental laws of physics, leaving Newton convinced that neither they nor the Maquis would be capable of stabilizing the Omega molecule.
More Than the Battlefield		AND	AND	AND		If the Maquis are to stabilize the Omega molecule, they'll need proper research facilities. Unfortunately, many of their leaders would rather use their resources to fight Cardassians. Convince Calvin Hudson to lend a hand.	Calvin Hudson is reluctant at first, but the away team convinces him that Omega molecule research will do more for the Maquis in the long run than weapons will. He agrees to send what resources he can.	Calvin Hudson likes the idea of a near-infinite energy source controlled by the Maquis, but he considers it a pipe-dream, and a dangerous one. He refuses to divert resources towards Omega molecule research.
Once a Thief	AND	AND	AND			Mirror Bareil Antos has managed to steal some intel on the location of Hippocrates Noah and his personal research, but he'll only sell it to the Maquis for more than they can afford. Convince him to lower his price.	The away team sees right through Mirror Bareil's attempts to swindle them. They haggle him down to a reasonable price, and his intel gives the Maquis a valuable lead on Hippocrates Noah's research.	Mirror Bareil agrees to the away team's deal easily--too easily. The datapad of intel that he gives the Maquis leads to nothing but a dead end. By the time they discover this, Bareil is long gone.
Polarizing Forces	AND	AND		AND		Several Maquis scientists have a bold theory that the plasma storms of the Badlands could actually help stabilize Omega molecules. Weather a Badlands storm and collect the data they need to test this theory.	The away team's findings are preliminary, but they suggest that the electromagnetic fluctuations of a Badlands storm, if replicated in a contained chamber, could help stabilize Omega particles for safe use.	The away team's sloppy piloting leads them right into the vortex of a plasma storm. They escape injured but alive, with no useable data to offer the Maquis scientists.
Some Wounds Never Heal		AND	AND			Charles "Trip" Tucker III has had a painful life in the mirror universe under the Terran Empire. Convince this capable engineer that he would have a much more comfortable time working for the Maquis.	At first, Mirror Tucker is offended by the idea of defecting to the Maquis, but the more the away team talks about the comfort and freedom such a life could offer, the more he warms to it. He accepts their offer.	Mirror Tucker may be bitter about his service in the Terran Empire, but he sees the away team's suggestion that he could defect to the Maquis as a personal insult. There will be no changing his mind.
States of Being		AND	OR	AND		The energy-based Paxans can manipulate energy on a level that is beyond any engineers' abilities. Persuade some members of this xenophobic species that the Maquis's research efforts deserve their help.	The away team argues that as beings of energy themselves, the Paxans would benefit more than most from the vast energy a stable Omega molecule could provide, and they agree to offer their insight to the Maquis.	Something the away team said during negotiations must have offended the Paxans, because they wake up several lightyears from their last location with no memory of the negotiation itself.
The Underdogs	AND		OR	OR	AND	The Maquis have located a research facility where the Terran Empire is synthesizing Omega molecules, but they'll need every ship at their disposal to raid it. Get their ragtag fleet of fighters ready for battle.	The away team puts blood, sweat, and tears into repairing the Maquis's battered ships, but once they're through, the fleet handily defeats the Terran Empire lab's defenses and takes their supply of Omega molecules.	The away team can barely get a few of the Maquis's fighters up and running. With most of their ships still in dire need of repairs, they have to call off the strike on the Terran Empire research facility.
Try, Try Again		AND	AND	AND		When one version of the physicist Ketteract synthesized an Omega molecule, it had fatal consequences for him. Track down a living version of Ketteract and persuade him to continue his research with the Maquis.	Ketteract is afraid to repeat the mistake that another him once made, but when the away team describes how dedicated the Maquis is to researching the Omega molecule, and how careful, he agrees to join them.	Ketteract considers himself fortunate that he never became involved with the Omega molecule in his own timeline, and knowing what happened when one version of him did, he's not willing to start now.
Understanding the Enemy	AND	AND	AND			A Maquis spy in the Terran Empire thinks she can get several Maquis into a research base if they can pass as officers. Get Captain Kirk, who has seen the Empire's ways up close, to prepare them for the role.	The away team and Captain Kirk coach the Maquis in the Terran Empire's militaristic ways. The undercover agents make it into the research base without blowing their cover, and soon return with Omega molecules.	Having seen first-hand just how dangerous the Terran Empire can be, Kirk objects to the plan of sending undercover agents to one of their bases, even though he has no particular fondness for the Maquis.
