No Trouble At All: Section 31

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Direct Sabotage				OR	OR	It will be hard, with Ferengi protection, but Section 31 believes the best way to stop Larkin is to sabotage his research, right in his lab. They will need help to do it.	With your away team's help, Section 31 operatives gain access to Larkin's lab and sabotage his research on the Horta, setting him back months.	Your away team is unable to overcome layers of Ferengi protection, and Section 31 operatives continue to seek a way to gain access to Larkin's lab.
Falsified Intentions	AND	AND	AND			The Ferengi might rescind their support of Larkin if it came to light that he was working against their interests. Help Section 31 invent some proof of this.	Together with Section 31, your away team presents falsified "proof" that Larkin is working against the Ferengi. Ferengi officals are troubled and immediately halt funding to Larkin while they investigate.	The Ferengi dismiss your away team's "proof" that Larkin is working against them. Starfleet is just jealous and wants their best scientist back!
Just a Little Editing			AND	AND		Edward Larkin's Starfleet Academy records are now an embarrassment. Section 31 can modify them to show that he really never should have graduated anyway.	Under Section 31's guidance, your away team edits Larkin's Starfleet Academy records to show he barely graduated.	Your away team is unable to gain access to Larkin's Starfleet Academy records for Section 31 editing.
Muddying the Waters			AND	AND		If Section 31 cannot undo Larkin's actions, they can at least cast doubt as to whether they even happened. Work to establish a potential alibi for Larkin during his time on the U.S.S. Cabot.	Thanks to your away team, the public is no longer certain whether Larkin was aboard the U.S.S. Cabot during the tribble incident.	Your away team's invented alibi falls flat, and the only thing the public is now convinced of is that Starfleet is attempting to cover up Edward Larkin's actions aboard the U.S.S. Cabot.
No Record of This		AND		AND		Section 31 can erase the U.S.S. Cabot's logs, so that no written, audio or visual record of Larkin's service onboard remains. Help Access these logs for deletion	With your away team's assistance, the logs of the U.S.S. Cabot during Larkin's tenure have mysteriously lost.	Your away team miscalculates and accidently deletes U.S.S. Cabot Logs from years Larkin Wasn't even assigned to the ship
Profits Over People		AND		AND		The Ferengi prize commerce, and if Larkin were affecting their bottom line, that would significantly alter their perception of him. Spike Ferengi markets and pin it on Larkin.	Together with Section 31, your away team causes a disruption to Ferengi markets and makes it known that it is due to Larkin's research on the Horta. The Ferengi are appalled and questioning their partnership.	Ferengi markets are well insulated against disruption. Even with Section 31's resources, your away team in unable to artificially affect Ferengi commerce.
They Won't Miss HIm	AND	AND	AND			Section 31 Can't change the memories of Larkin's Superior Officers, but those at or below his rank can have their memories modified without anyone noticing	WIth your away team's assistance, Section 31 has modified the memories of Larkin's fellow or inferiorofficers to the point that they no longer accurately remember Larkin's time as a Starfleet officer.	Your away team balks at helping Section 31 perform a medical procedure on Starfleet officers' brains without their knowledge.
You Might Be Next			AND	AND		The Kazon serve as the Ferengi's mercenaries, but might rethink their contracts should someone imply that Larkin may consider them for experimentation after he finishes with the Horta.	Your away team and Section 31 successfully rile up the Kazon, who are now convicted Larkin intends to experiment on them next. The Ferengi rush to assure them that they wlll be finished with Larkin... soon.	The Kazon laugh off your away team and Section 31's attempts to influence them against Larkin, and threaten bodily harm if they approach them again.

No Trouble At All: Klingon Empire

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Bashing in the Door			AND	AND		Klingons are known for their direct approach. Storm Larkin's laboratory and confront him directly.	Your away team and a contingent of Klingons storm into Larkin's laboratory, condemning his research and damaging his equipment.	Your away team and a contingent of Klingons are challenged by Kazon hired to protect Larkin and his laboratory.
Hit 'em Where It Hurts				OR	OR	If the Klingons cannot get to Larkin, they can certainly disrupt Ferengi supply chains--and profits. Help the Klingons identify pain points in Ferengi commerce.	With your away team's help, the Klingons cause significant disruptions to the Ferengi supply chain, and make certain the Ferengi know it is in response to their support of Larkin.	The Klingons reject such an underhanded approach to opposing Larkin. They would prefer a simple frontal assault on his lab.
In a Dark Ferengi Alley			AND	AND		The Klingons cannot access Larkin while at work unless they want to anger the Ferengi. But catching him on his way home to threaten him is entirely possible.	With a tip from your away team, the Klingons corner Larkin outside his Ferengi provided lodgings and warn him of what will happen should he continue his research.	Your away team's information is bad; the Klingons lie in wait for hours, but Larkin never shows up.
Keep Them Safe			AND	AND		If Larkin's research cannot be stopped, the Klingons can at least ensure that he has no access to Horta test subjects. Find and protect the Horta.	The Kazon mercenaries working for the Ferengi decline to challenge the Klingons to obtain Horta test subjects for Larkin--at least, not without significant hazard pay.	The Ferengi pay the Kazon mercenaries a substantial amount of hazard pay to challenge the Klingons protecting the Horta--and they get away with several Horta for Larkin to experiment on.
Not So Tough Now			AND	AND		The Ferengi have their own standing army, but have supplemented it significantly with Kazon mercenaries. If the Klingons struck at the Kazon, the Ferengi might not feel as up to defending Larkin and his work.	The Klingons have engaged the Kazon on several occasions and thinned their numbers. The Ferengi try to buy time by announcing they are rethinking their partnership with Larkin.	The Kazon prove tougher than the Klingons anticipated, and efforts to thin their numbers are going slowly.
The Power of the Pen	AND	AND	AND			Larkin is very proud, and might be at least distracted from his work if Klingon scientists disassembled it in scientific journals.	Larkin is angered when Klingon penned articles ridiculing his work are published across the galaxy. He pauses his research to pen several badly-written defenses.	The Klingon scientists refuse to adhere to publication guidelines, and the articles ridiculing Larkin's work are never published.
The Tribble Hunt			AND	AND		Larkin loves his tribbles--and the Klingons hate them. Organize a tribble hunt to distract and anger Larkin.	Larkin hears of the tribble hunt and goes berserk, attempting to abandon his lab to single-handedly stop the Klingons. The Ferengi only barely hold him back.	Somehow, the Ferengi manage to keep Larkin from ever finding out about the tribble hunt, and his research continues
Warriors of Science	AND	AND	AND			Klingons are not only known for their might in battle, but their own scientific achievements. Pique Larkin by challenging him to a scientific competition with the best and brightest Klingon minds.	Larkin is shocked when the Klingon scientists triumph. He sputters that the competition isn't fair, but it is clear that he is shaken by their disapproval of his work.	Larkin manages to defeat the Klingon scientists. He dismisses the Klingons' disapproval of his research.

No Trouble At All: Borg

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Fuzzy Perfection		AND	AND			Larkin is very proud of his work with tribbles. He would be prouder still to hear the Borg had identified the tribble as a species worth assimilating.	The Borg have assimilated a single tribble, as a trial run. Larkin is perversely proud.	The Borg reject the tribble as not worth assimilating. This has not endeared them to Larkin.
The Latest Accessory			AND	AND		If Larkin had a Borg implant. he would be constantly reminded of the possibilities offered by the Borg during his work, and might eventually abandon it altogether. Coordinate the implantation of a Borg servo for Larkin.	Larkin is delighted with his Borg implant, marveling at how it helps him with his research. Hopefully he will grow more and more interested in the Borg, and less with the Horta.	Larkin insists he is a paragon of science just as he is, and doesn't need any Borg implants to research effectively.
Locutus Himself			AND	AND		Picard is willing to put up with Larkin if it means keeping the Horta safe, and to that end he has volunteered to speak with Larkin about his experience among the Borg. Facilitate this meeting.	Picard displays infinite reserves of patience during his interview with Larkin. His diplomacy skills ensure that Larkin is charmed, not put off, by the encounter.	Picard can endure no more. He cuts the interview with Larkin off, denouncing Larkin and vowing to do everything he can to see him locked up.
Lure of the Forbidden	AND	AND	AND			Larkin now prides himself on being a maverick. Entice him by making him aware of the black market for Borg implants.	Your away team has successfully piqued Larkin's interest in Borg implants and the black market for them.	Your away team has failed to pique Larkin's interest despite the black market for Borg implants.
No Distinction				OR	OR	The Borg have rejected many species for assimilation due to their lack of technological or biological distinctiveness. The list would be prized by Larkin as species he would perceive to be prime research subjects.	Larkin is grateful for the list of species rejected by the Borg for assimilation, and hopes that there won't be as much resistance to his experimenting on them.	Larkin isn't interested in a list of Borg rejects, and vows to continue his work with the Horta.
Unparalleled Access	AND	AND	OR			Larkin might be interested in studying the XBs. But this would have to be managed carefully, lest the xBs [sic] be traumatized by Larkin's less-than-ideal bedside manner.	With your away team's careful oversight, Larkin spends some time studying the xBs and is interested in doing more.	Executive Director Hugh doesn't trust your away team to adequately supervise Larkin. He refuses to allow Larkin access to the xBs.
We Will Adapt			AND	AND		The most dangerous aspect of the Borg is their ability to adapt rapidly to the enemies' defenses--and they are usually undone by the enemy doing the same. Larkin might be interested in helping the Borg strengthen this ability.	Larkin has put forth several proposals for improving the Borg's adaptability... if he were to change his research plans entirely.	Larkin insists he has no time to help the Borg improve their adaptability. He's far too busy with his research on the Horta.
Witness to Change			AND	AND		Larkin would be fascinated to view the otherwise horrifying process of assimilation. Arrange an opportunity for him to observe.	With the Borg's permission, Larkin has gotten to observe an assimilation. He is, as predicted, fascinated.	The Borg refuse to allow Larkin to observe an assimilation. Larkin insists he wasn't interested anyway.
