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.

Goal[ | ]

Go to the Pahvo system in the Beta quadrant, stop Captain Killy from taking over the planet, and send the I.S.S. Discovery home.

Icon Name Description How to Get Points
Stashed Behind the Mirror Found a stash of high quality Terran gear Just before the third agonizer at the cave, there is a path on the left that leads through some bushes to a small clearing containing a Terran shuttle. There are three R&D nodes and a crate. Opening the crate will trigger the accolade and reward a rare MK XIV Discovery-era sniper rifle and a couple of minor consumables 10

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.
