The Dominion wonders if the Romulans could have achieved such a utopic Earth under any conditions, or just these specific ones. Help the Dominion run simulations moving the Romulans' arrival on Earth to different moments in Earth's prime history. Your away team's simulations conclude that, much like like any major historical event, an early Romulan arrival on Earth would have gone very differently had it happened later in Earth's history Your away team's simulations are flawed, and fail to shed any light on the importance of the Romulans' arrival time on ancient Earth.

A Romulan-influenced Earth has turned out better than anyone would have guessed, but the Dominion thinks they could do better. Help the Dominion simulate what might have happened if they had arrived on ancient Earth and stuck around instead. Your away team's simulations reveal that had the Dominion landed on ancient Earth, humanity would have quickly been drafted in... as another subservient race to the Founders. Your away team's simulations are flawed, and fail to shed any light on what would have happened in the Dominion had landed on ancient Earth.

Much has been made of the drastically different history of Earth due to Romulan influence, but in this alternate universe, what effect has humanity had on Romulus? Explore changes to Romulus' history as a result. Your away team learns that, as a result of early colonization of Earth, many humans traveled to Romulus and settled there as well. The influence of humanity has lessened Romulus' secretive nature, and made it more normal to express emotion. Access to an alternate universe Romulus influenced by humanity proves no easier than accessing the Romulus of the prime timeline, and your away team comes up short.

The Dominion find it highly suspicious that the warlike Romulans would have effected such peaceful change on Earth. Dig through history and look for evidence of conflict. Your away team determines that while there were numerous smaller conflicts between Earth countries, never was there a conflict on the scale of a world war, thanks to Romulan influence. The Dominion loses confidence in your away team, accusing them of Human-Romulan bias and refusing to accept the results of their investigation.

The Dominion wants to experience this Romulan-Human Earth for itself. Help several founders travel to this timeline, disguise themselves as Romulans or humans, and explore ancient Earth. With your away team's help, the Founders return from their disguised expedition to the Romulan-influenced Earth with much to chew on. Your away team's research is bad, and the Founders are immediately identified as aliens disguised as Romulans and/or Humans.

The Dominion plan on a mock invasion of the Romulan-influenced Earth. They stress it's merely an experiment, to see how prepared--or unprepared--this version of humanity would be for such an event. Oversee this experiment. Under the watchful eyes of your away team, the Dominion manages to put forces in place for an invasion of the Romulan-influenced Earth.. and restrains themselves from following through Your away team is unable to stop the Dominion from invading the Romulan-influenced Earth! They must violate the Prime Directive in order to repel them.

The Dominion suffered its worst defeat in the Dominion War. Explore whether this Romulan-influenced Earth would have sided with the Dominion, or avoided the war entirely. Your away team determines that a Romulan-influenced Earth would not have had the same qualms as Captain Sisko. Through a series of devious machinations, the Dominion War would have been avoided entirely. Your away team is unable to determine whether a Romulan-influenced Earth would still have resulted in the Dominion War - or the same ending.

The Dominion is interested in finding out if this Romulan-Human Earth developed any defenses at all. In the event of an invasion--not that the Dominion ever would--how might they keep themselves safe? Your away team learns that avoiding internal conflict did not mean that the Romulan-influenced Earth has no defenses. Starfleet was still formed, as well as several robust planetary defense systems. Your away team is unable to determine the scope or nature of any planetary defense systems that may or may not exist on this Romulan-influenced Earth.

But would Khan have even existed in this alternate, Romulan-influence history? Investigate. Your away team can find no record of Khan on the alternate, Romulan-influenced Earth. Your away team's efforts are stymied by Augment efforts to fake Khan's place in history in all timelines, even the Romulan-influemced one.

All of Earth's famous leaders--at least, prior to first contact and the founding of the Federation--have naturally been human. With Romulans now becoming a part of Earth's history, have they supplanted many of these leaders? Your away team discovers that the United Kingdom's most beloved monarch is now a Romulan, and their distinctive ears can be seen in descendants down through the centuries. Your away team struggles to sift through ancient Earth history to determine which leaders are unexpectedly different than previously recorded.

Much of human culture--music, art, literature--seems to have been gone missing in this alternate, Romulan-Human version of Earth. Determine how much previously existing human culture survives even with Romulan influence. Your away team is hard-pressed to find much preexisting human culture that has survived Romulan influence. The Jazz Age, for instance, seems to have never happened at all. Your away team lacks enough in-depth knowledge of ancient Earth culture to differentiate between original works of note and the new Romulan-influenced ones.

Earth's Ancient Rome was founded on a myth suspiciously similar to the Romulan origin story. Investigate whether this myth has become reality, now that the Romulans are actually part of Earth's history. Your away team finds that many ancient Roman buildings now refer to individuals with Romulan characteristics and names, and the story of Romulus and Remus now refers to the Romulans' arrival on Earth. Your away team is unable to make sense of history that is, to them, akin to the time of the dinosaurs for twenty-first century citizens.

Naturally, humans are credited with exploring their world, and discovering all its continents. But with the Romulan incursion, are Romulan figures now credited with being the first to reach certain parts of Earth? Your away team discovers that Romulan explorers are now on record as being the first to discover Australia and North America, originating from Europe. Your away team struggles to make logical sense of the concept of discovering anything - when humans existed and developed on every continent on Earth before the concept of maps were invented.

The Terran Empire has existed for centuries. With Romulan influence, however, Terran Empire officials suspect that the conditions that led to the creation of the Empire were never allowed to exist. Investigate these concerns. Your away team concludes that the Romulan tradition of secrecy and suppression, as opposed to unrestrained violence, prevented the Terran Empire from ever being formed. Your away team is too disturbed by the violent origins of the Terran Empire to continue this research. They refuse to help the Empire further.

While humans were certainly not the first species to discover electricity (or the last), a human previously accomplished this for the species. Determine if Romulans, with their advanced technology, usurped Thomas Edison and others. Your away team determines that, while the Romulans were circumspect in introducing their advanced technology to Earth, they still did so earlier than humans would have discovered these technologies in their own, original, history. Your away team struggles to differentiate ancient technologies from one another.

While humanity is ashamed of the dueling tradition from its ancient past, Klingons revere it as a sign that humans have potential as allies. But, with Romulan influence, did duels still take place? Look for signs of this tradition. Your away team determines that, while duels did occur on ancient Earth, they were far more infrequent and roundly denounced by Romulans, who preferred to poison their enemies instead. Your away team is unable to determine whether a dueling tradition still existed on a Romulan-influenced ancient Earth.

Klingons cannot abide the dishonorable, secretive ways of the Romulans, and want proof that humanity has resisted inheriting these tendencies in this alternate timeline. Your away team determines that humans have utilized underhanded methods throughout their Romulan-influenced history, but almost always for the good, avoiding bloodshed. Your away team finds many examples of humans engaging in underhanded behavior, and is unable to determine their motives. The Klingons are disgusted.

The Klingons are curious as to whether there was ever any conflict between Romulans and humans. Were Romulans ever forced to disguise themselves? Did humans ever wear fake ears? Investigate. Your away team discovers that being Romulan or human has largely been a matter of fashion in this alternate timeline. There have been eras when it was more fashionable to appear more Romulan, and eras where it was more fashionable to appear human. Your away team is too unfamiliar with ancient Earth and Romulan culture to differentiate between them in this hybrid history.

Klingons have always considered themselves stronger warriors than humans, but humans have impressed them from time to time. This pacifist Romulan-influenced Earth does not. Investigate whether humans have any martial prowess at all in this timeline. Your away team has determined that humans and Romulans together developed a robust military tradition, but it has been untested, and mainly for show. Your away team gets into an argument with Klingon officials on whether war is honorable, and barely escape with their lives.

Prove or disprove these claims. Your away team finds evidence of several smaller conflicts, but nothing on the scale of the global engagements that previously existed in Earth's history. Your away team is unable to find proof that the Romulans have covered anything up... but the Klingons note that this doesn't prove they DIDN'T do it, either.

Klingons have always sneered at the Romulan Tal Shiar. They are now concerned that a Romulan-influenced Earth would have had a human equivalent, and want proof humans would never stoop to such a thing. While your away team is unable to definitively prove the existence of a human equivalent of the Tal'Shiar, there is evidence that humans were invited to join the Tal'Shiar proper, on this Romulan-Human Earth. Your away team is unable to discover proof of a human version of the Tal'Shiar... which either means there wasn't one, or it was extremely effective.

Klingons are great admirers of the plays of William Shakespeare. But did Shakespeare exist on this Romulan-influenced Earth? Determine if any of his plays survived. Your away team learns that William Shakespeare did existm but he never wrote a single thing - he followed in his father's footsteps and became a glover instead. Your away team is unable to determine whether the Klingon beloved William Shakespeare produced any written works on this Romulan-influenced Earth.

The Klingons admire honor above all else, and want assurances that even a Romulan-influenced Earth honored any treaties it struck with other species or planets later in its spacefaring history. Your away team is able to determine that in this alternate, Romulan-influenced history, Earth never technically broke any treaties but they have all been cleverly worded to allow for many loopholes. Your away team is unable to make sense of any treaties signed by the alternate Romulan-influenced Earth, as they are written in dense legalese.
