Outline

Mission text

Federation

Admiral Janeway and a team of specialists have finalized a plan to liberate one of our own from the Terran Empire. The... consultants from the Mirror Universe have been helpful in this effort, and will be working alongside the Admiral in the upcoming rescue operation. Together, we're hoping to put an end to the plans of the Terran Emperor before he has a chance to see them come to fruition. I'd like you to join the team and work with them to bring Lieutenant Ilia back home. Report to Admiral Janeway at Jupiter Station... and good luck.

Klingon

I have received word from Admiral Janeway of Starfleet. Her team of specialists has finalized a plan to liberate one of their own from the Terran Empire. Operatives from the Mirror Universe have been contributing to this effort, and will be working alongside the Admiral in the upcoming rescue operation. Together, they seek to put an end to the plans of the Terran Emperor before it is too late. I believe you can ensure this mission will be a successful one. Report to Admiral Janeway at Jupiter Station. Qapla'!

Romulan Republic

Jolan tru. Starfleet informs me that Admiral Janeway and a team of specialists have finalized a plan to liberate one of their own from the Terran Empire. Operatives from the Mirror Universe will be working alongside the Admiral in the upcoming rescue operation. Together, they seek to put an end to the plans of the Terran Emperor before it is too late. An unorthodox effort, to be sure... but one the Republic wants to succeed. I believe you can ensure this mission will be a successful one. Report to Admiral Janeway at Jupiter Station. May the Elements watch over you all.

Notes

• The Well Fed Caitian features in the final cutscene, making this his fourth background appearance.
• The mission segment 'Operation: Another Castle' is likely a reference to the (in)famous line players encountered at the end of worlds 1-7 in the original Super Mario Bros.
