AND
Command		 Following the musings on where the Federation's beginnings lie, Picard asks you to compile a list of historical moments that provided the building blocks for the Federation - then ensure they remain intact. After consulting Federation historians, your away team compiles a list of important pre-First Contact moments that are building blocks of the Federation. Your team ensures none of the displaced interlopers manage to interfere with those moments. Your away team attempts to compile key moments, but lacks a decent grasp on history pre-First Contact.

Security		 Science
AND
Command		 Command
AND
Diplomacy		 Life in the 24th century is complex and there are some losing faith in the Federation's purpose. Burnham asks you to collect examples of the dreams and hopes people of the past have for a future in space while avoiding detection. Your away team clandestinely procures or records examples of people expressing their hopes for a future in space and what they think life will be like then. Your away team is caught snatching a child's drawing of an astronaut from a trash can.

AND
Science		 Diplomacy Keiko O'Brien enlists your help retrieving certain clippings of plants that are extinct in the 24th century. She reminds you to exercise caution while retrieving and transporting them. Your away team studies the plants before extracting samples. They adjust the ship's lab environment to ensure the plants safely make it back to Keiko. Your away team fails to account for the atmosphere of 20th century Earth and the samples die in transit.

AND
Diplomacy		 Command Security
AND
Science		 Sulu reaches out to you in a panic. One of his carnivorous plants - Gertrude - went missing while he was back in the 20th century. He asks you to find and return the plant before it can hurt someone, or worse, throw off the local ecology. Your team finds Gertrude screaming at passersby at a county fair, a blue ribbon pinned to its sensitive stem. You learn an ensign hated the plant and abandoned it while Sulu was busy. The ensign is disciplined and the prize—winning plant returned. Your away team searches high and low, but is unable to locate Gertrude, though evidence of Gertrude's destructive descendants begins appearing in the future.

Command		 Science
AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy
AND
Command		 Spock informs you that some displaced crews made the mistake of responding to messages deployed from the SETI Institute, causing the Institute to kick their efforts into overdrive. Throw them off track before First Contact happens too early! Your away team throws the SETI Institute off by upgrading an amateur radio and responding with prank messages. The scientists are not amused, but fortunately, they are dissuaded. Your away team's attempts to damage the Institute's equipment only land them in trouble.
Phased Engineering
AND
Command		 Science
AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy Medicine An urban legend reaches you of a teen who disappeared while biking with friends, only to return home a ghost. The teen is the ancestor of a future Starfleet admiral whose existence is at risk of being erased. Investigate. You learn the teen somehow got caught in a transporter beam when two other displaced individuals were beaming out and thus got "phased." You manage to restore his molecular pattern from a distance, avoiding detection. You find the teen using his transparency to prank some neighborhood kids. When you approach him to try and help, he runs away.
The Wrong Thing for the Right Reasons Diplomacy
AND
Security		 Command
AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy
AND
Science		 For some who stayed to help, there is one thing they cannot let go of: the opportunity to change the past for the better. After all, among those who created the anomalies were Romulans hoping to change their fate. But is changing history right? Your team patiently listens to the concerns of those seeking to change history before reiterating the hard truth — that changing

history will have implications too far reaching to justify. It is a difficult truth, but one they are able to accept.

Your own crew can't even reach an agreement on what to do. In the meantime, the Department of Temporal Investigations gets involved, resulting in many well-meaning personnel facing serious repercussions.

OR
Command 		You receive word that a spacecraft suspected to be from the Beta Quadrant has crash-landed in the Appalachian Mountains. Find the pilot before a civilian from the present does. You find the craft and its pilot - a Romulan who was responding to a signal from one of the ships from the future. You treat his injuries and get him back into space - after adjusting his equipment so he won't be able to find his way back to Earth. By the time you locate the vessel, it's surrounded by onlookers and its pilot is being carted away by ambulance, badly injured.

Diplomacy 		After seeing a group of mechanics working on a broken vehicle, Rom innocently offers his expertise - and his 24th century tools. But his kindness is already having serious repercussions on the future. Rectify the situation and keep a low profile. Your away team manages to sneak in and swap the hyperspanner with a similar piece of modern equipment, causing others to doubt the stories of those who did use the hyperspanner. Your away team gets caught trying to retrieve the hyperspanner.
Acquired Tastes Diplomacy
AND
Command		 Security Command
AND
Science		 Medicine In an attempt to prime the human palate for Ferengi cuisine, Quark tries to get foods like tube grubs before famous chefs. Stop him before he alters the timeline - and fine dining - forever. Your away team manages to swipe the bowl of pre-chewed tube grubs before it makes it onto the set of a live taping of Iron Chef. Your away team grabs the wrong bottles from a freezer Quark had been tampering with, leaving Slug—o—Cola as the only refreshment for thirsty diners at a sub shop.

AND
Command		 Engineering Command Diplomacy
AND
Science		 Quark wants to get a feel for the tastes of "ancient humans", so he wants to study bartending in the 21st century. However, his appearance makes it difficult to blend in. He asks for your help. Your away team modifies a holoemitter to give Quark a human appearance. He seems to be enjoying learning elaborate mixed drinks that he never encountered in the 24th century, though he almost blows his cover when he asks where the raktajino is. Your away team suggests Quark should try to pass himself off as being in-costume, but no bartender seems comfortable taking him on.

Security		 Engineering
AND
Command		 Command
AND
Diplomacy		 Quark winds up rubbing a gambling establishment the wrong way when he uses knowledge of the future to bet on games and races. Help him out without blowing your cover. You and your away team play the part of bookies Quark was already on the hook to and insist you'll bring him back after he's paid his debt to you. He is grateful, but you maintain your stony facade until he's back on the ship. Your away team's attempts to persuade the bookies to hand Quark over only make them more hostile and one of them threatens his lobes

Security		 Science
AND
Command		 Command
AND
Diplomacy		 After studying about yuppies, Quark decides to pursue his own fortune by playing the 1980s stock market - with knowledge from the future. Put a stop to his antics before his sudden wealth permanently damages the economy. You find Quark arguing with a bouncer at Studio 54, asking if the bouncer knows who he is. You confiscate the money he's made, destroy his PADD with stock market data on it, and reinvest the money he made in markets it originally would have gone to. You are unsuccessful in locating Quark, though stories of his eccentric behavior are in ample supply.
Pulped Diplomacy Diplomacy
AND
Engineering		 Engineering Command
AND
Diplomacy		 While taking in the sights of the late 20th century, Tom Paris finds novels and comics that remind him of Captain Proton. However he learns their creator has passed away and they are doomed to go out of print. He asks you to help him preserve them. You manage to track down the creator's family and gain a sense of his wishes and thought process. Your team then works with Tom to create holoprograms for when you return to the 24th century. Your away team is caught beaming away while holding an armful of the creator's works.

AND
Diplomacy		 Diplomacy
AND
Command		 After insisting on helping, Nog falls ill. Rom asks you and your crew to help treat him. Your away team finds what Nog has is a strain of the flu that has caused an outsized response via his Ferengi immune system. Bashir suggests it might be a strain that has been eradicated by the 24th century. You treat him and he recovers quickly. Your away team attempts to treat Nog, but there's no information in the Ferengi illness database. Just as you're widening your search, lshka bursts in and shoves you out, insisting on her own home remedies.

Your away team catches up to him shortly after he broke off pieces of the Great Pyramids. You manage to recover what he stole and take him into custody, ignoring Quark asking if he can have a finder's fee. Your away team is unable to catch him before he escapes. Moments later, news reaches you that the Statue of Liberty is missing her crown.
