Too Good to Be True: Federation

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
A Q's Word				AND		Q alerted you to the start of the temporal anomaly crisis. Surely his declaration that it is not yet over will convince Starfleet officials?	Q's verification that the temporal anomaly crisis is hardly over has many Starfleet officials thinking twice.	Q's mockery overshadows his argument, and Starfleet officials dismiss his claims as another Q trick.
But the Klingons!			AND			Burnham and Marcus need the Federation's attention elsewhere. Convince Starfleet officials that a serious threat is brewing within the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.	Your away team successfully persuades Starfleet officials to focus less on Burnham and Marcus and more on a brewing threat from the KCA.	Your away team fails to persuade Starfleet officials that there is a credible threat in the KCA. They remain focused on Burnham and Marcus.
For Argument's Sake				OR		The Tellarites are famously argumentative. Get Tellarite Federation officials arguing that this can't possible be the end of the temporal anomaly crisis.	Your away team successfully spurs several highly-placed Tellarite officials into arguing that the temporal anomaly crisis is far from over.	Your away team's attempts backfire, and the Tellarite Federation officials are now arguing even more vehemently that this is really the end of the temporal anomaly crisis.
It's Only Logical				AND		The Vulcans in particular are the most skeptical of this utopia. Lean into that, getting Vulcan authorities to press their human, Andorian, and Tellarite counterparts on whether this ending is real.	At your away team's urging, Vulcan Federation officials successfully sow doubts in their colleagues as to the validity of the temporal anomaly crisis's end.	To your away team's surprise, Vulcan Federation officials declare that they need more time and data before they can make a decision either way.
Patterns of Behavior				AND		If Marcus's theory is correct, he and several other miraculously revived individuals should share several traits. Identify a few more to bolster the evidence.	Your away team successfully identifies several more cellular differences to support Marcus's theory.	Your away team is unable to determine any other ways in which Marcus and others like him might differ from their real counterparts.
Rooted in the Present	AND	AND	AND			Disbelieving officials who would otherwise be dead have cause, but those of present should be more easily swayed. Target these officers with your arguments.	Your away team successfully convinces Starfleet officials of the present that something is off about their colleagues and this utopic resolution.	Even Starfleet officials of the present do not buy your away team's arguments against the validity of the end of the temporal anomaly crisis.
Second Opinion	AND	AND	AND			Burnham and Marcus's findings have been rejected by Starfleet officials, but your crew can provide a second, independently verified conclusion. Rerun the data.	Your away team presents identical findings to Burnham and Marcus's research, winning over more Starfleet officials.	Your away team bungles the data and comes up with results differing from Burnham and Marcus's.
Too Pat, Too Perfect				AND		It is scientifically impossible that the temporal anomaly crisis could resolve itself overnight. Use scientific arguments to persuade Starfleet officials.	Your away team successfully proves to Starfleet officials that it is scientifically impossible for the temporal anomaly crisis to have simply resolved itself, in all ways, to the optimal ending, overnight.	Your away team is unable to convince Starfleet officials that this miraculous ending to the temporal anomaly crisis is out of the realm of known possibility.

Too Good to Be True: Maquis

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Authorized to Work	AND	AND	AND			Burnham and Marcus could continue their research quietly on a remote outpost, if they had the right credentials. Work with the Maquis to fake these credentials.	Using fake credentials provided by your away team, Burnham and Marcus continue their research on a remote Federation outpost.	Your away team's faked credentials are not convincing enough, and Burnham and Marcus are denied access to the remote outpost.
Invisible Science		AND				Burnham and Marcus can't afford to be shut down by the Federation again. Ensure their research lab goes undetected.	Your away team has ensured Burnham and Marcus's new lab is undetectable by any Federation scanner.	Your away team is unable to guarantee Burnham and Marcus's new lab is totally undetectable.
Just a Friendly Hello			AND			Burnham and Marcus need more samples to prove their theory, but not everyone returned from the dead thinks like them. Obtain samples through friendly interactions for them.	Your away team has successfully obtained additional samples for Burnham and Marcus to test.	Your away team is unable to get close enough to potential test subjects to obtain samples.
Mistaken Identity	AND					Burnham and Marcus have been blacklisted, but other researchers haven't. Concoct disguises so that Burnham and Marcus can impersonate these researchers instead.	Your away team's holographic disguises work perfectly, and Burnham and Marcus continue their research as other people.	Your away team's holographic disguises fail, and Burnham and Marcus must flee before they are caught!
Red Space Herrings			AND			Federation authorities are wise to Burnham and Marcus's plans, and working to track them down and investigate whether they are continuing their research. Stall them.	Your away team has successfully through Federation investigators off the scent of Burnham and Marcus.	Your away team is unable to distract Federation investigators from doggedly pursuing Burnham and Marcus.
Restocking the Lab		AND				Burnham and Marcus could set up their own lab, but they need specialized equipment which the Federation will no longer provide. Liberate the Federation of this equipment.	Your away team and the Maquis successfully steal the equipment Burnham and Marcus need to continue their research.	Your away team is unable to obtain the equipment Burnham and Marcus need to continue their research.
Seize the Day	AND	AND	AND			The Maquis are aware of abandoned research facilities outside the reach of the Federation. Secure one of these facilities for Burnham and Marcus.	Your away team has successfully secured an abandoned lab outside the reach of the Federation for Burnham and Marcus's use.	Your away team was unable to secure the abandoned lab for Marcus and Burnham to continue their research.
They Were in the Holodeck the Whole Time!			OR		OR	Burnham and Marcus can't be accused of continuing their research if they have a strong alibi. Create evidence of an airtight alibi for them.	Your away team successfully creates evidence suggesting that Burnham and Marcus have been enjoying your ship's holodeck instead of continuing their research.	Your away team is unable to create evidence of a solid alibi for Burnham and Marcus in the event they are discovered.
