Illusion of Communication
Illusion of Communication is the second of two missions released with Mirror of Discovery on January 23, 2019. It follows Captain Tilly's perversion of Pahvo and the fight to return her I.S.S. Discovery back to its own time.
Outline[ | ]
Mission text[ | ]
Our information about events on Pahvo is... incomplete, but I believe the Terrans are undertaking a large-scale operation there. They have managed to coerce the planet's consciousness into serving their violent needs. Furthermore, they've turned Pahvo's transmitter into a potent weapon.
Time is of the essence. While the Alliance is mobilizing a larger response, we are, in effect, first res ponders. It falls to us to do what we can to stop Captain Tilly and her crew before they solidify their control of Pahvo. Failing to do so could be catastrophic.
Ideally, we should return the Discovery and her crew to their proper time and space. Under the circumstances, removing the Terran presence from Pahvo is the more immediate, logical, need.

Notes[ | ]
- The title of the episode is from a quote by George Bernard Shaw: "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."
- The I.S.S. Discovery uses the Prime Universe Crossfield model, instead of the Terran one.
