Storyline
Announcement
While the U.S.S. Shenzhou’s destructive entry into the present was wholly unintended, the U.S.S. Discovery’s arrival sets off conflict of an all-too-familiar nature. When the Discovery suddenly found itself in hostile Augment space, Captain Lorca, a combat veteran and lauded military tactician, immediately engaged the enemy. For the first time, the Augments find themselves evenly matched: Captain Lorca’s offensive is threatening the new future they have carved out for themselves since arriving in this timeline. The Augments realize the conflict of interest in asking for help against a fellow Starfleet officer, and the Federation hasn’t exactly made peace with the Augments as a whole. But surely Starfleet supports peace between their two factions? Either shore up the Augments’ defenses against the Discovery, or join Captain Lorca in dealing a serious blow to Khan Noonien Singh’s burgeoning empire. [1]
Prologue
- Captain Gabriel Lorca: "You're Starfleet. No one I recognize, but nothing seems to be recognizable in this timeline--except these Augments."
- Captain Gabriel Lorca: "The Eugenics Wars were costly enough the first time. We can't allow this Khan a second chance at victory--which is why when I found my ship in his territory, I drew first blood."
- Captain Gabriel Lorca: "It's your duty as a Starfleet officer and a member of the Federation to join my assault. We have to do what's necessary to win. War isn't pretty, but it's the only way to peace."
Intermezzo
- Khan Noonien Singh: "This is a message to Captain Lorca and all other Starfleet officers in this sector. Your attempt to sabotage our base on Regula I has failed. Lieutenant Stamets and his fellow saboteurs are now my guests."
- Khan Noonien Singh: "I will give the Federation one chance to earn their freedom. Call off Lorca, stop the attack he is surely planning against my headquarters as we speak, and the hostages are free to go. Do nothing, and they will spend the short remainder of their lives as my prisoners."
- choice A
- Captain: "Let the prisoners go and I'll help you."
- Khan Noonien Singh: "Then what guarantee would I have that you will keep your word? No, Stamets and the others will not leave my sight until I know Starfleet has Lorca under control."
- choice B
- Captain: "I won't negotiate with someone who's willing to hide behind hostages."
- : ""
- choice C
- Captain: "Lorca should never have attacked your people. I'll do what I can to stop him."
- Khan Noonien Singh: "Generous words, Captain. We will see if your actions speak as loudly."
- Admiral William T. Riker: "Consider this Starfleet's official response: Captain Lorca's actions were not sanctioned by the Federation. He might be willing to sacrifice his officers in pursuit of victory, but I'm not. You'll support Khan's forces in disabling the Discovery--that's a order."
Epilogue
- Captain Gabriel Lorca: "I hope you and this Admiral Riker are pleased with yourselves. I hope all those Starfleet regulations will keep you warm, when the Augments try to cull humanity according to their standards."
- Captain Gabriel Lorca: "I could have had them. So much for genetic superiority. Victory could have been so easy, if you had just stood with me."
- Captain Gabriel Lorca: "Now I suppose I'll be demoted down to ensign, or spend the rest of my life in a brig. Let's hope one of these anomalies offers me a second chance to do what you couldn't."
