Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Blood and Bone	AND	AND		OR		Alexander's allies have restrained several mutated Klingons in a medical facility, but their strangely twisted physiology has made examining them difficult. Study these patients to find the cause of their affliction.	The away team conducts microcellular scans on the patients and finds that their bodies are still mutating at a slow rate. Working backwards from affected cells may lead to answers about what caused the mutation.	Every lead the away team finds turns out to be a mere quirk of the Klingons' new physiology. They have no idea what caused these particular Klingons to mutate while their neighbors remain perfectly healthy.
Comparative Literature	AND	AND				Klingons' general disdain for doctors means there are few medical records of historical diseases or epidemics. Search the scattered archives throughout the First City for anything relating to the current mutations.	The away team hunts down every half-collapsed archive or corrupted database in the First City. They find no historical outbreaks similar to the current mutations, suggessting that they were caused by a new, though unknown, factor.	Although there may be more medical archives elsewhere, the away team only finds two whose databases are not corrupted beyond repair. They will have a hard time comparing this outbreak to any historical ones.
Doctors Wanted	AND	AND		AND		Arik Soong's knowledge would be invaluable in finding a cure for the mutated Klingons. Their past interest in kidnapping has made him reluctant to help them, however, unless he can be provided with a personal guard.	The away team sets up forcefields and checkpoints around Soong's laboratory and living quarters. Although he calls them primitive, Soong feels safe enough to work on a cure for the mutated Klingons.	The away team offers to guard Soong themselves, but after skeptically looking them over, he is not reassured: No matter how they argue with him, Soong insists he was safer in prison than he would be on Qo'noS.
A Far Worse Fate	OR		AND			Klingon fears of the Augment virus run deep, and the families of mutated Klingons are afraid that a trial treatment will leave their relatives ridgeless. Walk the families through the procedure to reassure them.	The away team keeps their explanation short and to the point, and promises to let the Klingons' families observe the procedure. They nervously agree, and their mutated relatives begin showing signs of recovery.	The away team tries to reassure the mutated Klingons' families by walking them through every detail of the treatment, but their confusion quickly turns to anger. Every family refuses the proposed treatment.
Field Tests	OR	OR				Antaak has developed a possible treatment for the mutated Klingons, but he wants to make sure there are no unintended side effects. He's asked you to give the medicine to a mutated targ, if you can catch one.	After failing to lure the mutated targ into close range, the away team tries a different approach. They beam the targ into a holding cell and diffuse Antaak's cure into it. Within a few hours, its mutated growths and ridges seem to be shrinking.	Even domesticated targs are not docile beasts, and the mutated wild targ the away team tries to catch is downright ferocious. They return to Antaak with his treatment, untested, in hand, and needing medical attention themselves.
From Mortals to Monsters	AND		AND	OR		Klingon doctors want to know whether their brethren's mutations are connected to the actual monsters on Qo'noS. As doctors, though, even Klingon ones, they cannot capture a kos'karii themselves.	The away team members wear earplugs to avoid the kos'karii's deadly whispers as they fish one out of a river. They transport it back to the Klingon doctors for study in a reinforced, soundproof tank.	Overestimating their own willpower, the away team goes fishing for kos'karii unprotected. The serpents' insidious whispers send half of the team diving into the water where the hungry kos'karii await.
Monster Trading	AND	AND				Klingon hunters have surrounded a pack of monsters, ones that could be used to study this mysterious new affliction if kept alive. You'll need a good excuse to convince them to give up their prey.	The away team tells the Klingon hunters that Fek'Ihr himself has been spotted nearby, a foe that would make any Klingon who slew him a legend. While the hunters race off after this rumor, the away team leads the monsters they've captured away.	The away team offers the hunters furs, coin, and a barrel of bloodwine for the pack of monsters they've caught, but they only laugh and insist that none of that is worth as much as the monsters' own pelts will be.
No Answer	AND	OR				Sirella, Martok's wife, has been restless since he disappeared, but now her servants say she won't leave her room. They're worried she is mutating like the others, but they cannot get past the shield around her quarters.	The away team shuts down power to the house and transports into Sirella's room just before backup generators activate. Though irritated by the intrusion, Sirella is safe, merely trying to keep potential contagions out of her quarters.	Deactivating the forcefield around Sirella's quarters only reveals a backup forcefield in place behind it. Sirella is a formidable woman, but the away team worries about what could be happening to her behind closed doors.
Not the Monster He Seems		OR	OR		AND	A group of Klingon hunters have mistaken Worf's mutated form for that of a monster. If he is not freed before they make it back to their camp with their prize, he may not survive the night.	The away team ambushes Worf's captors in a ravine, some distracting the hunters while the others free Worf from a forcefield-surrounded cage. They beam out with him before the hunters can catch them.	The away team tries to negotiate with Worf's captors, not realizing that asking a hunter to give up his rightful prey is the same as asking for a fight. After their scuffle with the hunters, Worf still remains a captive.
Outbreak	AND			OR		Mutated Klingons have overrun the Old Quarter of the First City, but the unique stone of its old buildings has made scanning for their whereabouts difficult. An away team will have to clear the streets one by one.	The Old Quarter's winding streets allow several mutated Klingons to flank the away team, but they are prepared for this. The few Klingons they don't manage to stun, they trap in nearby homes while awaiting backup.	Unsettled by the echoing howls of mutated Klingons and hemmed in by the Old Quarter's cramped walls, the away team only manages to clear a few streets before panicking and requesting an emergency beamout.

When Giants Walk: Hirogen

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
Captive Quarry	AND	AND				A massive pack of monsters has been tearing through the traps that hunting parties have set for them. The hunters need a better means of cornering them before the creatures reach nearby villages.	The away team places bait in a small ravine and designs a duranium gate that slams shut once any monsters pass through it. The elated hunting party faces down the slopes of the ravine to face their prey in battle.	The away team's traps corner a few of the beasts, but as the hunters arrive to fight their quarry, the improvised traps break, unleashing several very angry monsters right at the surprised hunters.
Fishing Trip	AND	OR	AND	AND		The ancient Serpent of Xol has been sighted in the Sea of Gatar! It will take cunning and bravery to track such a creature through treacherous waters and slay it as Kahless himself once did.	It takes three days and three nights of sailing before the away team closes in on the Serpent of Xol. They raise their bat'leths as it rears over the deck, and by the battle's end, the legendary beast is slain once more.	The away team leads an exhausting voyage through the Sea of Gatar, but the only time they get close to the Serpent of Xol, it turns out to be an oddly shaped rock. Perhaps other hunters will have better luck.
Friendly Terrain			OR			Mutated saber bears are wandering the mountains of Qo'noS, with newly grown defensive plates that no spears can pierce. Hunting parties need a way to fell them before they reach the inhabited lowlands.	Realizing there's no need for weapons in the right terrain, the away team lures the saber bears over the edge of the Kris'tak volcano's crater. It's not as glorious as a hand-to-claw fight, but it's undeniably effective.	Every weapon that the away team crafts either splinters or bounces off of the mutated bears' hides. They beat an undignified retreat as a roaring pack of bears chases them down the mountainside.
From the Gates of Grethor	AND			OR		Fek'lhr, guardian of Grethor, has been terrorizing the Klingon countryside, and neither blades nor phasers seem capable of harming him. Prepare a weapon for Klaa that can fell this mythological foe.	Realizing that neither energy blasts nor blades have hurt Fek'lhr, the away team combines them, attaching an electrical charge to a finely honed bat'leth. When Klaa strikes Fek'lhr with it, the monsters falls to its knees.	The away team constructs an enhanced disruptor for Klaa, but when he turns it on Fek'lhr, the blast bounces off it's hide. Only a shameful retreat saves Klaa from being torn apart by the monstrous being.
Giving Chase	AND	OR				Sarpek the Fearless has earned his name once again through a series of daring hunts, but his rashness has left many of his fellow hunters wounded. They need medical attention before Sarpek leaves them behind.	The away team treats the wounds that are most likely to slow the hunting party down, sending them off with a medical kit and instructions for further care. They are grateful to be able to rejoin Sarpek's hunt.	The hunting party's wounds are severe, and Sarpek, impatient, rushes off to continue the hunt before the away team can heal them. The warriors limp home, nursing their wounds and their shame.
The Killing Blow		OR	AND	AND		A band of both Klingon and Hirogen hunters are fighting over who gets the trophies from their latest kill. Unless someone steps in to keep the peace, their prey may not be the only thing left lying on the ground.	The away team examines the hunting party's fallen prey. Based on the wounds, they confirm that a Hirogen struck the last blow on the creature. The Klingons begrudgingly hand their trophies to the Hirogen.	The away team has the hunting party describe the last moments of their hunt, but due to the heat of the fight, no one knows who struck the last blow on their prey. They continue arguing, and some reach for their blades.
Leave of Absence	AND	AND		OR		Commander K'Nera asked the Klingon Defense Force for leave to join the great hunt, but his request was denied. Convince his superiors that this is no idle shore leave, but a mighty battle worth joining.	K'Nera's superiors don't believe the rumors about monsters on Qo'noS, but after the away team shows them footage of the beasts, everyone in the room is eager to join the hunt. K'Nera's request is, naturally, approved.	When the away team tries to sway K'Nera's superiors with words alone, they treat them with even more scorn for trying to appeal their decision. K'Nera's leave request is still denied, and he is facing discommendation.
Out to Pasture		AND	AND			The once-renowned General Korrd hopes to relive his glory days by joining in the hunt, but years of diplomatic work have left him with weak joints and three rheumy lungs. Help him get back on his feet and into the field.	The away team treats Korrd with the same aggressive, proactive care that they've seen Klingon doctors use. Despite Korrd's complaints, he's soon feeling like his old warlike self, and ready to join the hunt.	The away team treats their patient like they would a human, and their delicate bedside manners only infuriate General Korrd. He stomps off to join the hunt, untreated, and there is no telling if he'll return.
Redemption	AND	OR	AND			A disgraced Kurn has tried to regain his honor by hunting one of the many monsters on Qo'noS. Now his quarry has him cornered, and Kurn will be further disgraced—or killed—if he cannot defeat it.	The away team attacks Kurn's prey, distracting it with phaser fire as they shout encouragement to the determined warrior. When he defeats the beast, Kurn laughs triumphantly for the first time in a long time.	The away team is able to rescue Kurn from his disastrous hunt, but they cannot defeat his prey. Ashamed of his failure to redeem himself, Kurn turns to bloodwine for consolation.
The Tyrant's New Clothes	AND		AND			Duras, son of Ja'rod, has been using the chaos to masquerade as Molor reborn, but no disguise can turn a coward's heart into a warrior's. Defeating Duras in a public duel would prove that he is just an ordinary man.	Realizing he cannot refuse a challenge without dishonoring himself, Duras reluctantly duels the away team...and lands face-down in the dirt. Everyone sees that he is a mere mortal, not the Molor of legends.	The away team challenges Duras in public, drawing a large crowd of spectators. There are dozens of people watching when he easily defeats the away team, only furthering his claims that he is Molor reborn.

When Giants Walk: Section 31

Mission Name	1st Crew	2nd Crew	3rd Crew	4th Crew	5th Crew	Mission Text	Success	Failed
By Hoof and by Claw	OR	AND				A stampede of monsters is racing towards the First City, too many for even an army of warriors to stop without heavy casualties. They must be redirected before they reach the capital's borders.	The away team flies their shuttle over the stampeding monsters and fires its phasers just ahead of them. Screeching and cawing, the monsters begin racing in a safer direction, away from the walls of the First City.	The away team fires their shuttle's phasers into the mob of monsters, killing several but not diverting the bulk of the stampede from its charge towards Qo'noS's First City
Claws in the Dark	OR					A young Klingon boy claims he was attacked by a monster in the heart of the Old Quarter, within the First City itself. While treating his wounds, see if you can determine their true source.	While treating the Klingon boy's claw wounds, the away team assures him they were caused by the curved blade of a mek'leth. Their treatment hides any contradictory marks, and he slowly accepts their explanation.	The Klingon boy was clearly slashed by claws, but while the away team tries to find another explanation, his parents arrive to take him home. The boy tells the story of his attack to anyone who will listen.
Earthbreaker		AND				A rampaging giant has destroyed dozens of homes in the northern Mekro'vak region. Plant sufficient evidence to convince even eyewitnesses that there was a more natural cause for this catastrophe.	The away teams constructs seismic readings and video footage to "prove" that an earthquake caused the destruction in the Mekro'vak region, and that the giant some saw was merely smoke from a burning home.	The away team attributes the destruction of the homes to an earthquake, but they cannot convince eyewitnesses that there was no giant involved at all. Fears and rumors in the Mekro'vak region only grow.
Heroes of Song	AND		AND	AND		Surrounded by monsters and horrors, the Klingon public could use more heroes in its midst. Sightings of Lady Lukara could greatly improve morale if you can make the long-dead heroine walk again.	The away team studies historical accounts of Lady Lukara to create a hologram of her. With the help of a mobile emitter, Lukara is soon spotted across Qo'noS, lifting the people's spirits wherever she goes.	The away team makes the mistake of asking Kahless about Lady Lukara, hoping to base a holographic replica on his descriptions. The Emperor, however, is offended at the idea of turning his lover into a hologram.
Monstrous Migration	AND	AND	OR			Scores and scores of monsters have been seen wandering the Central Plains of Qo'noS, more than have been seen in other regions. Send an away team to learn where they are coming from and put a stop to it.	The away teams studies the monsters' migration patterns to find their likely origin, which leads them to a temporal anomaly in the heart of the Central Plains. Section 31 personnel get to work on closing the anomaly.	DIALOGUE FAIL
Rewriting History	AND					The legendary tyrant Molor has not been seen among the monsters, but some fear his return. If Molor's legacy can be discredited, he will seem much less formidable should he reappear.	The away teams claims that Molor was too afraid to fight Kahless at Qam-Chee himself, that his own warriors considered him a disgrace. As their words spread, Molor is spoken of with laughter rather than fearful whispers.	The away team's research on Molor turns up nothing they can use to discredit him. By all accounts, he was a fearsome tyrant, and the Klingon public continues to worry that he will return.
Signs of Apocalypse	AND	OR				The reappearance of specific legendary monsters coincides with Klingon prophecies about the end of the world. Search the various tomes of the paq'batlh for additional passages that may contradict this.	It takes some digging, but the away teams finds a passage in one ancient tome which suggests that current events herald a new era for the Klingon Empire, not its end. They spread word of their findings immediately.	The away team spends hours pouring over musty Klingon scrolls and only finds more and more passages declaring that current events herald the fall of the Empire. They keep these troubling findings to themselves.
Something in the Water		AND	AND	AND		Kos'karii, ordinarily denizens of the afterlife, are supposedly slithering in the rivers near the First City. Send an away team to identify these creatures and remove them if the rumors are true.	The "kos'karii" the away team capture turn out to be mutated local fish. Though this raises additional questions, the Klingons are assured that there are no supernatural serpents in the water.	The away team finds a few large fish in the rivers they investigate, but the local Klingons insist that these are not the kos'karii they saw. The most superstitious of them refuse to go near the rivers.
Spawning Point	OR					Some of these creatures may be coming through temporal anomalies, but Klingon Intelligence is concerned that there could be another, more deliberate source. They want a giant targ captured for study.	Even a giant targ is no match for a level eight force field. While it resembles an ancient subspecies of targ, the away team finds no trace chronitons to suggest it came from another time. This targ was bred in the present.	The giant targ puts even wild ones to shame. The whole away team cannot capture it, and the attempt leaves them trapped in a cave while the angered targ roars and stomps outside.
Stronger than Sickness		AND		AND		As rumors of the Empire'e end spread, rumors of hope and salvation could balance them out. Spread the word that the kuvah'magh, a prophesied figure, will rescue the Klingons from their current plight.	The away team's proclamations about the kuvah'magh bring hope to the frightened populace. They hear fewer and fewer rumors that the Empire is falling, and more proud declarations that it will endure.	As the away team tries to spread rumors that the kuvah'magh will save Qo'noS, people ask more questions than they're prepared for--like who exactly the kuvah'magh will be. Their proclamations are soon dismissed.
