Storyline
Announcement
Convergence Day celebrations are in full swing when suddenly, the Vulcans show up to ruin the party. Led by a conscientious of Michael Burnham, these Vulcans find Convergence Day a shockingly illogical diversion in the face of the many problems facing the galaxy. Burnham and her followers believe that the galaxy should be singularly focused on resolving the temporal anomaly crisis, and to that end, gang-presses celebrants into more productive roles. With Q only amused at the sight of humorless Vulcans stymying this annual galactic party, it’s up to you to decide how this year’s Convergence Day celebrations will end. [1]
Prologue
- Mariachi Q: "Bad news, Captain. Convergence Day has been canceled this year. Why, you ask? Well, I'll let Ambassador Sarek's daughter answer."
- Vulcan Graduation Burnham: "The temporal anomaly crisis is not a time for frivolity. All our efforts must be focused on mitigating the consequences and seeking a permanent solution. I have the Federation's full support on this matter, and will be reassigning officers to more logical tasks."
- Mariachi Q: "I suppose I could spirit young Michael Burnham away to a far-off nebula... but she's quite right, I have far more important things to do. So I leave you in the hands of logic: the logic of a human raised by Vulcans, anyway. Happy Convergence Day, Captain..."
Intermezzo
- Vulcan Graduation Burnham: "I have never understood the human tendency to thank one another for completing simplistic tasks. But, thank you, Captain: you are well-respected in Starfleet, and your assistance in the Convergence Day reorientation process has been adequate."
- Tourist Quark: "Yes, we're all seeing the logic in our new... is she gone?"
- Tourist Quark: "You've got to help us, Captain. There's no way this Burnham woman is human, or Vulcan, for that matter. She's got me working gratis! She's pure evil."
- choice A
- Captain: "Burnham is right. Convergence Day is a pointless distraction."
- Tourist Quark: "Convergence Day is an extremely profitable–I mean, popular new tradition. One day where we can forget all the trouble this crisis has caused and focus on the positive."
- choice B
- Captain: "I admit, I'm missing our usual Convergence Day festivities."
- Tourist Quark: "You and the rest of the galaxy. Who invited the Vulcans to join the Federation, anyway? Another brilliant human decision...."
- choice C
- Captain: "Her choices are a bit unorthodox, but shouldn't we let them play out?"
- Tourist Quark: "Believe me, Captain, they're played. We spend all year trying to solve our problems. Can't we forget them for one day?"
- Tourist Quark: "We need to show Burnham all the productive work the Federation does the rest of the year. Then we need to show her how logical celebrating that progress is. You're human, you know how your strange little minds work. Convince her!"
Epilogue
- Vulcan Graduation Burnham: "I have committed an error, Captain. I see now that Convergence Day is an important source of positive morale in Starfleet and beyond. Morale was not part of my studies on Vulcan, but I understand now it is of immense importance to those raised on Earth. Even, perhaps, to me."
- Vulcan Graduation Burnham: "My human emotions are often a... handicap for me. While I am always working to overcome them, participating in frivolities such as Convergence Day seem a harmless temporary solution. Have you tried the drinks."
- Tourist Quark: "If I'd known a little Saurian brandy would do it, I'd have offered it yesterday. Now I just have to remind her that I expect to be paid for the drinks... and everything else. Happy Convergence Day, Captain. Or at least, now it's got a chance of being good..."
