Laws of Nature: Section 31

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Almost Real			OR	OR		It would be a waste of resources to construct actual habitats for all recovered creatures, but Section 31 is open to the cheaper option of holographic ones. Help program these habitats.	With the help of your away team, each creature recovered by Section 31 has a more or less accurate recreation of an appropriate habitat.	Even on a holodeck, your away team is unable to guess at appropriate habitats for many of Section 31's recovered creatures.
Calm Under Pressure	AND	AND	AND			Section 31 believes many of these creatures are hardier than the galaxy's known species, and they want to test that hypothesis through a series of rigorous stress tests. Help set up and administer these tests.	Your away team's tests push the creatures to their limits, and they cower in fear of further testing. Section 31 authorities are pleased.	Your away team's tests are poorly designed. The creatures become aggressive quickly and must be sedated.
Control Without Fear	AND	AND	AND	AND		Section 31 would like to control these creatures on a deeper level, one that doesn't rely on their cooperation, but rather manipulates their actual motor control. Help Section 31 pursue this path of study.	Your away team dove deep into the neuroscience of each creature, helping Section 31 scientists to develop methods of controlling them on a subconscious level.	DIALOGUE FAIL
Dueling for Science		AND	AND			The Klingons have tested themselves against many fearsome beasts, but never the kinds of creatures Section 31 is recovering. Help convince Klingon warriors to test their strength in a laboratory.	The Klingon warriors say they have never enjoyed the scientific method so much. Section 31 thanks you for convincing them to duel the recovered creatures.	Though science is not a cultural focus for the Klingons, they question the ethics of attacking a creature simply to find out what happens, and refuse to help Section 31.
Hunting for Science	AND	AND	AND			Section 31 wants to identify which creatures are prey and which are predator... and who better to help make the distinction than the Hirogen? Recruit the Hirogen to hunt these creatures in a controlled environment.	The Hirogen have helped definitively identify prey from predator... though Section 31 agents must convince them that they cannot keep the killed prey.	The Hirogen sneer at hunting for science, and refuse to assist your away team or Section 31 in this endeavor.
Neither Snow Nor Rain	OR	OR	OR			If Section 31 could use these creatures as vehicles or offense in extreme environments, it would save lives. Expose these creatures to the appropriate elements for testing.	Your away team's tests have determined that many of these creatures can indeed withstand far more extreme conditions than any Starfleet officer. Section 31 plans to make use of this.	DIALOGUE FAIL
Rabid Dogs		AND	AND			Section 31 sees some of these creatures as potential weapons of biological warfare, who can carry diseases or inflict untreatable wounds on an enemy. Discreetly deploy one of these creatures into a Terran Empire settlement to test this theory.	Your away team's efforts meet with disturbing success: an entire Terran Empire settlement is wiped out after the rampage of a creature previously captured--and infected--by Section 31.	The Terran Empire has spies too, and they catch wind of Section 31's plans before your away team has a chance to unleash the infected creature on their settlement.
Self-Destruct Sequence		AND	AND			Containment measures fail, and Section 31 doesn't want the consequences of an escaped, rabid creature on their hands. Develop and implant failsafe devices to instantly neutralize these creatures if the worst happens.	Thanks to your away team, all of Section 31's recovered creatures have been implanted with failsafe devices, allowing for instant neutralization in the event they become a threat.	Unfortunately, your away team botches the implantation process, accidentally euthanizing several of the creatures before they even became threats.
Shock Collars			AND	AND		Section 31 needs to be able to control these creatures without harming them as assets. Help develop training tools and other control implements.	Your away team's technical expertise has given Section 31 the tools they need to control these creatures as they are studied.	DIALOGUE FAIL
Third Eye		AND	AND	AND		Sometimes the best spies are unwitting. Section 31 wants to release some of these creatures back into the wild--but not before equipping them with recording devices.	Thanks to your away team, Section 31 now has eyes in more places than it did before... even if those eyes are attached to creatures acting on instinct rather than orders.	The creatures refuse to tolerate the recording devices your away team has attached to them, and they are quickly destroyed or removed upon release.

Laws of Nature: Federation

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Always Watching	AND		AND			Some creatures are simply too dangerous to contain, but Doctor Taylor still wants to ensure their safety. Assist her in identifying and tagging such creatures so that they may at least be monitored and tracked.	Your away team has successfully tagged any creatures deemed too dangerous to keep in captivity.	Your away team has been unable to tag these creatures, which have proven too aggressive for even that level of oversight.
Creature or Sentient?		AND	AND	AND		Doctor Taylor understands that many of these creatures were actually originally Starfleet officers or individuals, horrifically altered. Sentients should not be treated like animals, but she isn't familiar with all sentient species. Help educate her.	Your away team has familiarized Doctor Taylor with all known sentient species in the galaxy, allowing her to differentiate between animal and man.	Doctor Taylor is overwhelmed by the new definitions of sentient life in this century, and will require additional study beyond what your away team can provide.
Donated By	AND	AND		AND		Any philanthropic venture needs funding, and Doctor Taylor is well-versed in securing it. Work with her to get sponsors for each of the creatures she seeks to protect.	Your away team has successfully secured sponsors enough to fund the indefinite protection of these creatures within the Federation.	Your away team was unable to secure enough sponsors to fund the indefinite protection of these creatures.
Herding Cats	OR		OR	OR		While few of these creatures are technically of the same species, many are similar and seem to prefer pack life. Work with Doctor Taylor to identify and group creatures who would function well as a pack.	Your away team has successfully identified and grouped like creatures into pack environments. Doctor Taylor reports they seem much happier.	DIALOGUE FAIL
Humane Society	AND	AND	AND			Doctor Taylor has the Federation on her side, but not the other factions of the galaxy. Join her in protests against the mistreatment of these creatures.	Your away team has successfully raised awareness of the mistreatment of these creatures by rival factions, who have at least publicly pledged to do better.	With all the other problems facing the galaxy, your away team fails to attract much attention to the plight of creatures in the thrall of the Federation's rival factions.
Loners by Nature	AND		AND	AND		Some creatures are not pack animals, and when grouped with even like creatures, do not thrive. Assist Doctor Taylor in identifying and separating these solitary creatures from others.	Your away team has successfully identified and isolated creatures who usually hunt or gather alone from the Federation's pens.	As many of these creatures have never been seen before, your away team is unable to determine which are loners by nature and which are simply traumatized by their displacement.
No Hunting in Captivity		AND	AND			Several of these creatures are predators, but it is entirely unethical to allow them to hunt other creatures as prey, Instead, Doctor Taylor would like to replicate appropriate feed and train them to accept it.	Your away team has successfully synthesized a nutritious and appealing meal that the predator creatures in captivity will eat.	No matter how many times they try, your away team is unable to replicate a meal that appeals to the predator creatures. They sniff and turn away.
The Comforts of Home	AND	AND	AND			Holographic habitats might be cheaper, but they're akin to placing a creature in a starship brig, as they are devoid of the proper nutrients. Work with Doctor Taylor to find or cultivate appropriate habitats for these creatures.	Your away team has helped construct authentic, flesh-and-blood habitats for each of the creatures under the Federation's protection.	Your away team's attempts to construct authentic habitats are put on hold when the first one fails disastrously, killing the creature placed within.
The Ultimate Prize			OR	OR		Doctor Taylor is profoundly disturbed by reports that several of these creatures are being hunted by the Hirogen and others. Join her in lobbying the Federation to establish sanctions against factions that hunt these creatures.	Thanks to the efforts of your away team, the Federation is poised to outlaw hunting of these creatures within their space, as well as establish sanctions against other factions found to be hunting them outside of it.	Your away team is unable to convince Federation politicians to devote any time or virtual ink to protecting these creatures.
Zoology Major			AND	AND		Zoos have been outlawed in much of the Alpha Quadrant for centuries. Many no longer understand how best to care for animals in captivity. Join Doctor Taylor in instructing anyone who may find one of these creatures in their space.	Between Doctor Taylor and your away team, both the Federation and its allies now possess a basic understanding of how to care humanely for creatures in captivity.	Your away team is unable to instruct others, as they are still struggling to understand the ancient concepts and procedures Doctor Taylor is attempting to teach them.

Laws of Nature: Bajorans

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Ends and Means		AND	AND			The Bajorans understand there is much resistance to their plan, and want to help others understand that what first appears to be reckless, dangerous behavior often proves beneficial in the end. Consult history for examples of this.	Your away team has provided a referenced list of instances throughout history in which seemingly reckless behavior resulted in positive change. The Bajorans are now utilizing it in their press.	DIALOGUE FAIL
Infinite Jumps	AND	AND	AND			The tardigrade of Discovery's era is a unique creature which can instantly traverse the galaxy as it desires. The Bajorans would like to explore gene splicing to see if more creatures could travel like the tardigrade does, giving them more freedom.	Your away team has several promising leads in gene splicing between the tardigrade and other creatures, giving the Bajorans hope that they might see the will of the Prophets realized.	Your away team has been unable to make any headway on gene splicing between the tardigrade and the many other new, strange creatures that have appeared in the galaxy.
It Doesn't Want to Feed	AND	AND				The Bajorans believe these creatures should be allowed to act on instinct, especially when it comes to predators. Help identify and provide prey for these creatures.	Your away team has identified appropriate and sustainable prey for predator creatures, and provided recommendations to the Bajorans on how they might access it.	Your away team balks at putting any prey creatures intentionally into harm's way just to satisfy the instincts of creatures not naturally occurring in the prey's environment.
Like With Like	AND	AND	AND			If the Prophets did create these creatures, the Bajorans believe they would want them to be grouped as they were when they were born. Round up like creatures and ensure they are together.	Your away team has successfully grouped like creatures, such as the crew of the Enterprise affected by the protomorphosis syndrome. The Bajorans are confident this is the Prophets' will.	Your away team is unable to find or unable to capture all known like creatures. The Bajorans worry what this will mean for the Prophets' intentions.
Native Environment		AND	AND			The Bajorans do not believe the Prophets wish harm on anyone, and they are willing to provide escorts or surveillance for the creatures as they roam, in hopes of avoiding the worst. Help train and equip these escorts.	Thanks to your away team, several teams of Bajoran scientists and security officers are now ready to follow the creatures as they wander--from a distance.	Your away team clashes with Bajoran personnel, who feel their beliefs about these creatures in regards to the Prophets are not being respected.
Observing Miracles		OR		OR		The Bajorans are not wholly opposed to scientific study of these creatures. After all, how will they know the Prophets' will if they cannot observe it being played out? Tag each creature so that it may be tracked.	Your away team has successfully tagged each creature, allowing Bajoran authorities to track and observe their activities throughout the galaxy.	The creatures prove resistant to tagging, gnawing away at the implants and acting aggressively towards you away team.
Pitter Patter	AND		AND			If these creatures are instruments of the Prophets' will, the Bajorans are eager to see more of them--even if they have to make them themselves. Explore the potential for breeding some of these creatures.	Your away team has identified several creatures who appear to be the same species and theoretically capable of breeding. Bajoran authorities are thrilled.	Your away team is unable to determine if any of these creatures are even the same species, let alone capable of breeding.
Prayerful Reflection	AND		AND	AND		One of the vedeks wishes to spend solitary time in the company of one of the creatures, hoping to somehow divine the Prophets' intentions. Identify the most docile and least dangerous of these creatures.	Your away team has identified a suitable creature for the vedek to observe and interact with, though Bajoran authorities promise to quickly remove him if the creature turns hostile.	All recovered creatures react so aggressively towards your away team that they are unable to identify which might be appropriate to the vedek's request.
Starting Positions		AND	AND	AND		Many of these creatures have been removed or detained from their original points of origin, which the Bajorans believe is counter to the Prophets' wishes. Return these creatures to where they were first observed.	Your away team has successfully returned many creatures to their original points of origin, or as close as possible without endangering anyone.	Many of the locations in which these creatures were first observed would be inconvenient or even dangerous to have them in now, preventing your away team from meeting the Bajorans' request.
Word from the Emissary			OR	OR		Captain Sisko, the Emissary, is a respected figure not only among Bajorans, but also throughout the Federation. If the Bajorans had his support in this matter, it would go a long way.	Your away team finally convinces a reluctant Sisko to advocate that the Bajorans to be allowed to deal with any creatures found in their space in their own way, inexplicable as their plans may seem.	DIALOGUE FAIL
