= Azure Nebula =

Go To Azure Nebula
Head for the Azure Nebula in the Nimbus Sector of the Tau Dewa Sector Block to begin the mission.

Investigate Anomaly
Federation Science Officer: Klingon Science Officer:

Head toward the anomaly, which appears to be a Tholian Recluse. As you get within about 10 km, it shifts.

Science Officer:

As you approach the second anomaly, which appears to be a Wells Class, it shifts again.

Science Officer:

The anomaly now appears to be a D7 Battlecruiser It shifts again when you get close.

Science Officer:

This time the anomaly appears to be an Ambassador Class, and finally it stays put long enough for you to scan it.

Science Officer:

Scan the anomaly and you are rewarded with a cutscene. Your starship is replaced by a freighter, and your captain, wearing a set of brownish coveralls, appears on the bridge.

Player:

Tholian Base:

A pan past the docking bay reveals the presence of an Ambassador class vessel.

= Tholian Base =

Franklin Drake:


 * I'm back with the tekasite shipment.

Franklin Drake:


 * Thanks.

Franklin Drake:

Franklin Drake:

Get some Food in the Mess Hall
You may note a number of familiar faces in the base. The accolade is available if you speak to each of the named characters who appear. You don't have to actually have a conversation with any of them, but what they have to say fills in the story background.

In addition to Franklin Drake, there are a couple others individuals in the receiving area.

One of them is an Engineering Officer that looks familiar for some reason... Engineering Officer:


 * You look familiar.

Engineering Officer:


 * Tell me about yourself.

Engineering Officer:

The other is D'Tan.

D'Tan:


 * Tell me about yourself.

D'Tan:

Head to the mess area. There are a number of individuals here as well. Feel free to chat with them. Since Slamek is closest to the tunnel you just emerged from, might as well start with him.

Slamek:


 * Tell me about yourself.

Slamek:

Heading counterclockwise, there is a Tactical Officer seated on a bench who might look familiar...

Tactical Officer:


 * You look familiar.

Tactical Officer:


 * Tell me about yourself.

Elim Garak:

At the next table, Va'Kel Shon is talking to T'Nae.

T'Nae:

T'Nae:

Va'Kel Shon:

Va'Kel Shon:

Finally, leaning on a table by himself, is Obisek.

Obisek:


 * Tell me about yourself.

Obisek:

Head for the replicators on the south wall.

When you reach the replicators use them to order some food. When you do, you are approached by someone you have never seen before in a cutscene.

Player:

Richard Castillo:

Talk to Richard Castillo
Might as well have a chat over your delicious Humanoid Dietary Supplement 47. Maybe it will distract you from the taste...

Lt. Richard Castillo:


 * I'm new here.

Lt. Richard Castillo:


 * What are you talking about? Who is "us"?

Lt. Richard Castillo:


 * Lead on.

Lt. Richard Castillo:


 * Tell me about yourself

Lt. Richard Castillo:

Follow Castillo to the Bunks
Follow Richard Castillo and he'll take you to what passes as living quarters, where you can meet Tasha Yar. There are also several other people you can talk to for the accolade.

At the top of the stairs on the upper level is an older-looking Klingon.

B'Vat:


 * Tell me about yourself.

B'Vat:

Around to B'Vat's right, a familiar looking Science Officer is lying down on one of the cots.

Science Officer:


 * You look familiar.

Science Officer:

Science Officer:
 * Tell me about yourself.

Around to B'Vat's left, there is a Ferengi seated on a cot.

Lt. Tasha Yar:


 * Tell me about yourself.

Lt. Tasha Yar:

Once you've had your chat with Tasha Yar and all the other named characters, you are awarded the accolade.

Get Key from Franklin Drake
Head back to the receiving area and talk to Franklin Drake again.

Franklin Drake:


 * Yar and Castillo said you have a key for me?

Franklin Drake:


 * Thank you. I'll take the risks now.

Convince Someone to Create a Diversion
Now you need to distract that Tholian Lieutenant in the Mess Hall. Since you have to sneak past him, someone else is going to have to do the distracting.

If you've already chatted with everyone, you should have a rough idea of who would be the most willing to help your cause, but you can simply ask all of them until one agrees.

Convince Obisek
Obisek:


 * Can I get you to create a Diversion for us? We need to reach the control room.

Federation/Klingon Obisek: Romulan Obisek:

Obisek is quite willing to help Romulan characters in their bid for freedom, but not so much when approached by the Federation or Klingons.

Convince Rugan Skyl
Rugan Skyl:


 * Can I get you to create a Diversion for us? We need to reach the control room.

Rugan Skyl:

Not very helpful either.

Convince Farek
Farek:


 * Can I get you to create a Diversion for us? We need to reach the control room.

Farek:

Come to think of it, why would we ever expect Farek to be helpful in any way?

Convince B'Vat
B'Vat:


 * Can I get you to create a Diversion for us? We need to reach the control room.

Federation/Romulan B'Vat: Klingon B'Vat:

For Klingon characters, B'Vat is eager to act; perhaps he can die gloriously, rather than as a slave. For Federation and Romulan characters, he doesn't appear to have any fight left in him.

Convince Va'Kel Shon
''Va'Kel Shon:


 * Can I get you to create a Diversion for us? We need to reach the control room.

Federation Va'Kel Shon:

Klingon/Romulan Va'Kel Shon:

Federation characters, here's your man. Klingons and Romulans will have to seek elsewhere.

Wait for the Diversion
Wait for your helpful diversion to reach the bottom of the Ramp in the Mess Hall and distract the Tholian Lieutenant. It will come down the ramp to deal with the disturbance. Don't let the chance go to waste!

Federation Va'Kel Shon: Klingon B'Vat:

Use Diversion to Get Past Guards
Head up the ramp and to the door. Input the security codes you got from Franklin Drake into the console. The door opens and you may proceed to the maintenance tunnels.

Enter Maintenance Tunnels
Head to the maintenance tunnel entrance and crawl inside. You will be treated to a brief cutscene of your captain crawling through the maintenance tunnel.

Navigate Through Maintenance Tunnels to Docking Control Room
Lt. Tasha Yar:

You emerge in a small chamber with tunnels leading away in different directions. The game map and mini-map are disabled in this area; if you want to see where you are, you'll have to use the hand-drawn map which is accessable from the "View Hand Drawn Map" button on your UI. This map will fill in as you explore the area.

Since there are several accolades available for finding things in this area, as well as one for exploring the entire map, might as well take the grand tour.

After you've crawled through a couple tunnels, Tasha Yar will contact you again.

NOTE: The Tholian symbols above each of the doors corresponds to a compass heading. If you can remember those it makes navigating easier.

Lt. Tasha Yar:


 * Why would the Tholians put a system in place that could create a hostile environment for them?

Lt. Tasha Yar:


 * Makes sense.

Other things you can discover (located at varous dead ends, for the most part) include the Wisest Tribble, a crate containing some loot, and a corpse.

Consult the Wisest Tribble
The Wisest Tribble can be found in a dead-end corridor full of fumes. Consult it!

Tribble:


 * Elder Tribble, please share your wisdom!

Federation Tribble: Klingon Tribble:

Tribble:

For wasting your time talking to a tribble, you receive the accolade.

Search Crate
A crate can be found lying in another dead end corridor. Search it to receive a level appropriate item and the accolade.

Examine Corpse
In the final dead end corridor, there is an unidentified corpse. Examine it.

Unidentified Corpse:


 * Who's Jim?

You receive the accolade.

Change Environmental Systems in Control Room
The first environmental control you will run into will be for the room atmosphere. Simply close the methane gas vents, vent the control room atmosphere, and create an oxygen-based atmosphere.

The second environmental control you will run into will be for the room temperature. Lower the ambient temperature.

A cutscene is shown of the Tholians in the control room being killed by the combination of toxic oxygen-based atmosphere and freezing (to them) temperatures.

Time to finish getting out of here. Make your way to the end of the maze of maintenance tunnels. If you've explored the entire map you should now receive the accolade. Exit the maintenance tunnels into the control room.

Open Door to Docking Control Room
Head to the door and unlock it to let your allies in. It looks like T'Nae has joined Tasha and Castillo.

Lt. Tasha Yar:

Assign Tasks to Prepare Enterprise-C for Escape
The four of you will have to work together to unhook and power up the Enterprise-C. Talk to each of your allies to find out what they would be best at.

Lt. Richard Castillo:


 * What's your specialty?

Lt. Richard Castillo:

T'Nae:


 * What's your specialty?

T'Nae:

Tasha Yar:


 * What's your specialty?

Tasha Yar:

The optimum solution is to assign Castillo to the docking clamps, T'nae to restore the Enterprise's power levels, Tasha Yar to the tractor beams, and handle the Tholian webbing yourself. You can make different assignments, but they will be slower handling tasks other than these.

Note however that if you make the worst possible combination of job assignments, you will get the accolade. To get this, assign T'nae to the docking clamps, Tasha Yar to restore the Enterprise's power levels, Castillo to the tractor beams, and handle the Tholian webbing yourself.

Prepare Enterprise-C for Escape
While your allies work on their assigned tasks, go handle the remaining one yourself. As the various tasks are accomplished, you will see things in the hangar holding the Enterprise-C changing to reflect your success.

Tasha Yar:

Time to make your escape!

Head to Ship
Head out of the control room and to the ship!

Board U.S.S. Enterprise-C
As you head down the gantry, a quick cut scene will reveal that not all obstacles have been removed; there are security force fields barring your way.

Tasha Yar:

Lower Gantry Force Fields
This is simple and straightforward. But first, there's another accolade available here,. You get it by looking around at the Enterprise, from top to bottom and fore to aft.

Tasha Yar:

Once you've taken it all in, the accolade is awarded. Now, just head to the first force field and disable it.

Tasha Yar:

On to the second force field.

Tasha Yar:

Time for the last one.

Tasha Yar:

Richard Castillo:

Board the ship!

= Azure Nebula =

Escape Tholian Base
After you board, the Enterprise-C emerges from the Tholian hangar in a cutscene. Tasha Yar, Richard Castillo, and several Enterprise Crewmen will be manning your bridge officer stations.

Engage impulse engines and make your escape!

Also, now might be a good time to adjust your power levels and set weapons to autofire. Just in case...

Tasha Yar:

Of course it couldn't be that easy. A couple Mesh Weavers approach and try to stop you. You should be able to make fairly quick work of them.

Tasha Yar:

Now a couple Orb Weavers move to intercept. Engage and destroy.

Tasha Yar:

Just as you are engaging the Orb Weavers, a couple Recluses join the fray. Things are looking a bit challenging now...

Tasha Yar:

Now it's officially not fair. But just when things look their most grim, sudden help arrives in a cutscene, as a Wells Class ship appears and destroys the Tarantula.

Computer Voice:

Captain Walker:

The cavalry has arrived, in the form of the USS Pastak, which helps you dispose of the remaining Tholian vessels.

As you engage the last vessel, the USS Pastak takes some damage.

Captain Walker:

After the last Tholain is defeated, you will receiva a hail.

Send the U.S.S. Enterprise-C Back in Time
Captain Walker:


 * Who are you? How do you know where we need to be?

Captain Walker:


 * Thanks for your help. Setting a course now.

Head toward the location in space marked on your map, and you should spot a familiar-looking anomaly. The USS Pastak will escort you.

When you reach it, fly through the temporal anomaly and you will get to view a final cutscene where Captain Walker beams you aboard his vessel... briefly.

Captain Walker:

Scan for Anomaly
In a flash of light, you find yourself back in your vessel in the Azure Nebula, looking for an anomaly. However, when you scan for it, there is no sign of it

Federation Science Officer: Klingon Science Officer:

All that remains now is to leave the system and report back that there was nothing to find.

Engineer Kani/Engineer Tum'Era:

After turning in the mission and claiming the reward, you also receive the accolade, presuming you're completing it during the aniversary celebration.
