Foundry Files:

Needs of the Few

• Overall, a great story that feels like something you would see in a Star Trek episode, some great new maps that add to this mission’s environment, making it feel different. The only thing that could use improvement is gameplay, and to keep this a diplomatic mission, the only real thing the author could add is a puzzle, and less repeating of talking to tons of NPC’s. If you are mainly looking for story in your mission experience, this is a great one to check out.

New Segment: Talk Trek

Balance of Terror

• 5:00 A lot of interesting setup. Showing the territory map, Spock giving the 411 and the shots of the crew listening in.
• 14:00 Kirk takes input, even hostile input at that, and adjust his orders.

The Defector

• Starts has a holodeck playtime between data and picard.
• Powerful first on screen moment for the Romulan escape, I remember it feeling like a big deal back in the day.
• One of my favorite ship flybys at 8:47 goes great with the “captain’s log”.
• Asking data to keep a record of events is really clever.
• At the 20 minute mark, the return back to the opening scene. A nice touch.
• At the 22 minute mark, it’s a great Data learning to be human chat. Season 3 was great at this.
• One worlds butcher, is another worlds hero. So true.
• At the 38:40 One of the great, get us outta here moments, and the Romulans uncloak.
• 42:26 Klinks decloak and screw the Romulans plan up. Loves it.

Face of the Enemy

• The Tal Shiar appears to be quite the buracratic badass.
• The most time we have ever spent on a Romulan ship?
• As noted in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, this episode marked the debut of Worf’s ponytail. He would retain this look for the rest of the series, throughout his tenure on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and all four Next Generation films. Hairstylist Joy Zapata and Michael Dorn had both lobbied for the change for some time. Zapata explained, “[Worf’s hair] used to remind me of a Klingon that had gone to the beauty salon; it looked like Donna Reed!”.

Next Week:

• Call to Armsi
• Sacrifice of Angels
• Hippocratic Oath

I have created an Interactive Biography Lore mission called …

UFoP:Do’it Duty
There is a KDF version as well … UFoP:Ter’jas Mor

And if the proper Easter Eggs are found and interacted with,
a dialog will be displayed with instructions on how to get any
single unbound craftable item from Memory Alpha.

Thanks !! NemesisChiken
