Advancement			AND	AND		As thanks for your assistance, the Pupaians offer the Federation some of their medical research that might be useful, which reveals the Pupaians to be advanced in medical and biological science. M'Benga asks you to help sort the information.	Your away team helps Doctor M'Benga sort and sift through the information, setting aside that which may not be useful or even harmful to Federation species.	One of your away team members accidentally deletes a critical file, rendering the rest of the research indecipherable.
Contested Rites	AND	AND	AND			Many throughout the Federation have mixed feelings on Starfleet being a part of a ritual that will ostensibly result in the death of the Pupaian involved. Address their concerns.	You arrange a meeting with many leaders throughout the Federation and Pupaian elders. While some still have reservations, most have come to accept the Pupaians' request.	You attempt to bring several Federation leaders together with Pupaian leaders, but tempers flare and the Pupaians leave, feeling insulted.
Dining Dash				OR	OR	A diplomatic dinner is being planned in the Pupaians' honor, yet their very specific, local produce-based diets are not yet reproducible by replicator, so your away team is placed on culinary duty!	Your away team visits Pupaian planets to obtain ingredients, then prepares them. Though they may not be the best rendition of the dish, the Pupaians are grateful for your efforts.	Your away team opts for taste—alike ingredients and as a result, the Pupaians are insulted and disgusted.
Event Horizon			AND	AND		With the journey's terminus being a black hole, many involved in the escort have expressed concern over whether or not you'll be able to escape. Allay their fears.	Your away team researches black holes, runs simulations, and makes some upgrades to the ship's thrusters. You share your findings with the rest of the escort.	Your away team runs a simulation on evading a black hole that goes haywire, switching off gravity for the entire ship.
Metamorphosis			AND	AND		The Pupaians believe the other side of the black hole is their afterlife. Readings around the black hole suggest that may not be such an impossibility after all. Investigate the black hole and its effects on living creatures.	Your team gathers readings from ships that have been near the black hole. There are documented changes to organic cell structure, but nothing conclusive enough to objectively claim an afterlife. Your crew shares the relevant data with other ships.	Your away team approaches a Pupaian vessel to study it without permission and infuriates the Pupaian elders.
On The Up and Up			AND	AND		While exploring some of the Pupaian vessels involved in the escort, Geordi notices that many repairs are needed. As a gesture of good will, he volunteers to help and asks you and your away team to join him.	Alongside Geordi, your away team is able to make vital repairs to the Pupaian vessels, along with some much needed upgrades.	While attempting to upgrade thrusters on a Pupaian vessel, a mistake by one of your away team members causes the whole ship to black out.
Ritual Respect	AND	AND	AND			The Pupaians' Final Voyage is a complex ritual rich with many traditions. Study the Pupaians' traditions and prepare the escorting vessels to comply as closely as possible.	Your team manages to learn the procedures needed for each step of the voyage and to replicate the required dress for the occasion, making enough for every crew in the fleet.	While investigating traditional Pupaian dress, a member of your away team irreparably damages a centuries old sacred garment.
Terminal Regrets	AND	AND	AND			The Pupaian who will be making their final voyage confides in you a lingering regret: they have never experienced adventure on the level of Pupaian myth and with their body so frail, they do not think they will be able. Help grant their wish.	You and your away team research popular Pupaian tales and craft a holodeck program with adequate safety protocols that allows the Pupaian to experience their favorite legend. With tears in their eyes, they thank you.	A member of your crew suggests taking the Pupaian on a high—tension Starfleet mission as an adventure, but the stress is overwhelming.

Beacons: Section 31

Chosen	AND	AND	AND			There are concerns that this escort mission to a black hole could be politically motivated, that Starfleet could be playing a hand in the execution of some political target, for example. Pike asks you to ensure this isn't the case.	Looking into the Pupaian to be escorted, you find the opposite — that he is highly regarded and that many of the Pupaians are reluctant to see him depart, but he wishes to make this penultimate voyage to the next life.	While trying to gather details about the Pupaian, your away team ends up offending several of the Pupaian elders.
Contested Hallowed Ground				OR	OR	While comparing the star charts you receive from the Pupaians with existing Starfleet ones, Spock points out that the Pupaians' path overlaps with already contested territory and asks you to look into it.	Your team investigates and confirms other species have lain recent claims to territory the Pupaians claim has been theirs for centuries. While seeking long-term solutions, for the present, you help bolster Pupaian ships so they can travel safely.	While investigating the contested boundaries, your away team is attacked by another faction and forced to flee.
Datalogged			AND	AND		In order to learn more about the Pupaians, a request is made for any relevant documentation, only to be flooded with millennia of records, which Section 31 tasks your team with going through.	Your away team devises a program that categorizes the information they've been given and pinpoints events and topics that appear most so they can focus on what's most relevant before passing the rest on to the Starfleet School of Xenoanthropology.	Your away team starts going through the records in chronological order. They're still going through the records in chronological order.
Final Entry	AND	AND	AND			In order to assist with escorting the Pupaian, Maxwell Forrest requests any useful data from the previously incomplete voyages. But between religious edict and damaged equipment, he is unable to secure any, and so enlists your help.	Your team is able to convince Pupaian leaders of the need to review the data. In exchange, you agree to destroy it once you have gained any necessary information. You repair the damaged equipment and disseminate the intel before following through.	Pupaian leadership is insulted that you would ask and furthermore, they do not believe you can recover the data from damaged equipment and tightly encrypted transmissions. When they give you a transmission as a test, your failure proves them right.
Motives			AND	AND		While many are excited that the Pupaians reached out, Luther Sloane is suspicious. How did the Pupaians learn of the Federation? Why reach out now? Why not sooner? Those are answers he tasks you with finding.	Through talking to various Pupaians and doing a little unauthorized probing of their data, your away team confirms the desire to connect had been there for a while, but the urgency of the situation finally pushed the Pupaians outside of their cocoons.	While trying to hack into a Pupaian database, a member of your away team is caught. The Pupaians are furious.
One Man's Potion is Another's Poison			AND	AND		An outbreak of poisonings near Pupaian territory prompts Emperor Georgiou to send your team to investigate.	Your away team learns the poisonings trace back to a couple of Breen traders who stole vials of medicine from a Pupaian ship that they then learned were poisonous to other species, which they used accordingly. You confiscate the remaining vials.	Though your team has found no concrete answers, one of your away team members becomes ill while docked at an outpost and is rushed to sickbay.
Signal Boost			AND	AND		Seven of Nine has raised concerns about how navigational functions will continue as escort ships near the black hole and asks your away team to investigate.	Evaluating data from other black holes, your away team makes upgrades and alterations to ship navigational sensors and communication signals to function as close to the event horizon as possible.	While attempting to upgrade navigational equipment, a member of your team makes a critical error and now the ship is unable to locate its position within space.
Value and Worth	AND	AND	AND			Luther Sloane gets word of Pupaian goods showing up at trade posts across the galaxy, but not sold or authorized by the Pupaians. He asks you to investigate.	Your away team tracks the influx of Pupaian robes and goods and finds they are being sold by an Orion mercenary who would attack Pupaian ships and steal anything that looked valuable. You confront him and take him into custody.	Your away team confronts various merchants, all of whom quickly shut you out. When you return to your shuttle, you find it has been badly damaged.

A Warrior's Drink			AND	AND		While celebrating their new acquaintance with the Pupaians, a Klingon warrior serves a Pupaian bloodwine, only for the Pupaian to become very ill. Treat the Pupaian.	Your away team makes a quick study of Pupaian biology, identifying where the issue with digesting bloodwine arises and synthesizing an antidote.	A member of your team rushes to synthesize an antidote based solely on previous data and there is no improvement in the Pupaian's condition.
Brothers in Arms			AND	AND		While getting to know the Pupaians, the Klingons issue a challenge for the strongest among them to face off in combat as a way of testing their mettle. Supervise the challenge and ensure there are no injuries or intergalactic incidents.	Your away team instructs sickbay to be on standby and joins other spectators. You insist on a neutral referee who ends the matches before anyone gets hurt.	Your away team is overprotective and overinsistent with the Pupaians and they become offended, convinced the Federation sees them as weak.
False Ascension			AND	AND		Word begins to circulate about an individual claiming to be a Pupaian returned from the afterlife in ascended form. One of the Pupaian elders asks you to investigate.	You gather intel on who the ascended one claims to be and manage to catch them in a lie.	Your away team grills the alleged ascended, but it only serves to garner them more sympathy and believers.
Honor in Death			AND	AND		The Klingon contingent is ready to stand against anyone who attempts to disrupt the Pupaian's sacred journey, but Worf worries they may inadvertently sully that journey. He asks you to investigate.	Your away team researches and provides the rest of the escort fleet with rules for engaging in battle in the sacred space leading to the black hole. While it requires some adjustment, the Klingons are first among your fleet to adapt.	While investigating Pupaian culture, a member of your crew commits a fairly obvious faux pas, casting doubt among both the Klingons and the Pupaians over whether or not your crew is the best to handle this.
Metamorphic Legends	AND	AND	AND			The idea that another form awaits the Pupaians on the other side of the black hole fascinates Antaak and he asks you to help him gain whatever intel you can without offending the Pupaians.	After chatting with some Pupaian medics, your away team is invited to the watch as the Pupaian making the sacred journey undergoes a final exam, revealing facets of Pupaian biology that seem primed for metamorphosis.	Your away team's constant prying and prodding offends the Pupaians.
On The Offensive	AND	AND	AND			While meeting with the Pupaians, a Klingon vessel is attacked. They give chase, but the assailant escapes. They ask you to help track the aggressor down.	Using accounts from the Klingons and data from their sensors, you realize it was a well-known Cardassian smuggler's vessel. Together with the Klingons, you track them down at a spacedock and disable their warp core.	While following the path of the attacking vessel, your own ship is caught off~guard and attacked.
Strength in Numbers	AND	AND	AND			In order to ensure the Pupaian makes it to the black hole, the Klingons have decided to add a contingent positioned at several points along the route. The only problem? They need a map of the route.	Your away team talks to the Pupaians and obtains the route, crafting a map for the Klingons that offers some suggestions on useful strategic points.	While trying to chart a route by traveling it, your away team gets lost and their navigational equipment begins to fail.
Those Who Come, Those Who Go				OR	OR	Part of the Pupaians' final goal - making peace with this life so they can move on to the next - is to encounter the people most important to them in order of first meeting. Get those individuals where they need to be safely.	Your away team arranges escort for each of the individuals involved and helps them prepare for their part in the ritual - simulating their first meeting with the Pupaian in question - then provides security while still giving them privacy.	You attempt to transport several of the individuals together, only to learn two of them are the departing Pupaian's former lovers when a fight breaks out.
