The Need for Speed: Maquis

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
A Second Chance	AND	AND	AND			Many individuals who are down on their luck or fallen from grace would love a second chance. The high profile of working on the winning Lightyear 3000 vessel could be that chance.	Your away team has recruited several disgraced individuals to work on the entry vessel for the Lightyear 3000. They are grateful for the opportunity to redeem themselves.	Your away team finds that these individuals are unable to integrate with Starfleet officers to work on a Lightyear 3000 entry vessel, due to prejudices on both sides.
Earmarked for Good			AND	AND		The Maquis aren't against a little fun, but like Gabrielle Burnham, want to make sure it's for a good cause. Find entrants who will agree to donate the prize winnings to charity or fund research.	Your away team has secured promises from several entrants that, if they win, will earmark the prize winnings for charity.	Your away team has been unable to get any entrant to promise to earmark the prize winnings from the Lightyear 3000 for charity.
Free to Fly			AND	AND		Many ships have been impounded due to being outlawed, recalled or of otherwise unknown origins. See these ships released to compete freely in the Lightyear 3000, and maybe advance research while you're at it.	Your away team has seen several ships of the past or alternate timelines released from Starfleet impound docks.	Your away team is unable to secure the release of impounded ships from Starfleet docks.
No Time Like the Present	AND	AND	AND			Temporal displacement could prove a means to victory in the Lightyear 3000-or a means to resolving the temporal anomaly crisis as a whole. Promote this theory in order to promote research on the subject.	Your away team successfully inspires a team to enter the Lightyear 3000 utilizing temporal displacement as a means of winning the race. Efforts are ongoing to convince the judges this wouldn't be cheating.	Your away team is unable to convince anyone that temporal displacement could be a viable means to winning the Lightyear 3000. It would be cheating, for one thing!
Research Is Research			AND	AND		Many promising researchers have had to stop their activities due to finding themselves in a timeline where their research is not legal. Set these researchers up to continue their work, and hopefully help your performance in the Lightyear 3000.	Your away team has set up several researchers to continue their otherwise illegal work. They promise it will help in the Lightyear 3000 -- or at least help the galaxy in general.	Your away team is unable to secure workstations for researchers interested in continuing their promising but unregulated projects.
Tardigrade Stand-Ins			AND	AND		The spore drive is considered by some to be the best propulsion system, but it has one flaw in that it needs a dedicated organic pilot. Find individuals willing to volunteer in the hopes of furthering spore drive research.	Your away team has found several brave volunteers who want to follow in the footsteps of Wright, Yeager, and Stamets and become spore drive pilots.	Your away team has been unable to find anyone willing to attempt the dangerous and possibly fatal role of spore drive pilot.
Technology Debt				OR	OR	Several communities could use technology to improve their way of life-if it didn't violate the Prime Directive. They believe these communities could help someone win the Lightyear 3000, if they get the help they need in return.	Your away team has smuggled technology to needy pre-warp communities, in exchange for manual labor towards an entry vessel for the Lightyear 3000.	Your away team balks at violating the Prime Directive and risking their careers just to win a race.
Young, Scrappy, and Hungry			AND	AND		Several independent pilots want to enter the Lightyear 3000, and use the prize to help the less fortunate-but they're having trouble finding entry. Help these promising indies get their shot.	Your away team has secured benefits in the Lightyear 3000 for several independent pilots flying for charity.	Your away team is unable to secure berths in the Lightyear 3000 for independent pilots. They will have to seek out well-heeled sponsors.

The Need for Speed: Ferengi Traditionalists

A Favor from Starfleet			AND	AND		Lightyear 3000 judges might be more inclined to hand you a victory if they knew they could count on you-or Starfleet-for a favor in the future. Ensure such a thing would be possible.	Your away team has called in several favors within the Starfleet hierarchy, and promised to pass them on to Lightyear 3000 judges--if you should win.	Starfleet is busy enough as it is, and promises no favors to your away team in the future--meaning they cannot be passed on to Lightyear 3000 judges.
A Few Loose Wires	AND	AND	AND			The Ferengi are not above a little sabotage to get ahead, and believe you shouldn't be either. Direct your away team to commit minor, non-fatal sabotage to rival ships.	Your away team manages to sabotage the builds of rival ships without endangering anyone or getting caught.	Your away team is caught trying to sabotage a rival ship! The Ferengi manage to avoid your disqualification from the race, but it was a close call.
Five Finger Discount	AND	AND	AND			The Ferengi believe in an even playing field. Attempt to steal technological advancements from other competitors.	Your away team manages to download flight sequencing patterns from a rival entrant.	Your away team is caught trying to steal technology from a rival! The Ferengi manage to avoid your disqualification from the race, but it was a close call.
Free Advertising			AND	AND		Slug-O-Cola is the primary sponsor of the Lightyear 3000, and you can buy even more goodwill with them if you agree to visually display your loyalty across the hull of your entry vessel.	Your away team plasters the hull of your entry vessel in advertisements for Slug-O-Cola. You receive much early press as a result.	Your away team gets several details of the Slug-O-Cola branding wrong, angering the company rather than flattering them.
Mutual Backscratching			AND	AND		Several sponsors of the Lightyear 3000 manufacture ship parts. They might be more inclined to judge you favorably if you made certain to use their parts in the construction of your entry vessel.	Your away team makes sure to use--and advertise their use of--parts manufactured by Lightyear 3000 sponsors. Victory is all but bought.	Your away team fails to adequately advertise usage of parts manufactured by Lightyear 3000 sponsors. What’s the point if no one knows about it?
One Pilot, Please				OR	OR	The Ferengi believe there is no organic pilot better than a synthetic pilot. Make use of their funds and advice to design a synthetic android pilot.	Using the personality profiles of several notable pilots, your away team is close to a breakthrough in designing a synthetic android pilot.	Building an android is no easy task, even for a singular purpose and even with Ferengi backing. Your away team fails in their attempt to create a synthetic pilot.
Open and Honest			AND	AND		The Ferengi are not opposed to bribes-in fact, they encourage them. A straightforward offering of latinum to key judges could be the push you need to make it to over the finish line.	Your away team has successfully obtained and transferred a sufficient amount of latinum to key Lightyear 3000 judges. They promise to look on your vessel favorably when the time comes.	DIALOGUE FAIL
The Grand Nagus Approves			AND	AND		If the Grand Nagus was seen by your entry vessel, it would be seen as tacit approval. Maneuver Grand Nagus Brunt to be near your vessel, and make sure it gets press.	Your away team lured Grand Nagus Brunt to your vessel with the promise of a lucrative business deal. The photos of the Grand Nagus grinning and holding a thumbs up next to your vessel cross the galaxy.	Your away team is unable to come up with a plausible reason for Grand Nagus Brunt to visit the building site for your entry vessel.
