Mini 2295 | Star Trek uPick - Section 31 Has No Headquarters

[fferyllt]

Welcome,

Black Ops

!

Your team is:

Porkens:

Borg Queen, Ally of Black Ops

Hebichan:

Seven of Nine, Borg Liaison of Black Ops

PenguinPower:

Julian Bashir, Doctor of Black Ops.

This PT will be open for your posting pleasure during all phases of the game.

I encourage you to share your roles/role pms here so you can work out the best ways to use and coordinate your abilities. You can specify your Night actions here via posting them on separate lines and using the bold tags.

You can also send your night actions via PM if you prefer. I always check back at the end of the night phase for any last minute changes.

You are all able to multitask, e.g., use an ability as well as make the factional kill.

Most of the non-factional abilities in your role PMs were created under the assumption that you would draw

Temporal Alliance

alignment. Modifications were made where needed after your alignment was rolled. That section of your role PM is meant to be safe to claim. But, if at any point in the game you would like a fake role PM, just let me know what fake or real abilities you'd like included. Please don't wait until the last minute, in case I'm not online.

There is a sample role PM here in the game thread.

[PenguinPower]

and here i was hoping for wesley crusher...

Spoiler: My Role PM

Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!

You are

Julian Bashir, Doctor of Black Ops

.

Three times is the charm. Twice you declined to be recruited by Section 31, but rumors of Changelings once again venturing out of the Delta Quadrant to impersonate, sabotage and otherwise weaken the post-Dominion War alliances persuaded you that desperate measures may be required. You and one other Black Ops agent were en route to the Bajoran Wormhole when your ship was swallowed up by the temporal anomaly. The two of you quickly ascertained that the anomaly was not a natural occurance. It was designed, and can be controlled. The possibilities a controllable temporal anomaly opens up are far too important to let slip away. Among the other space vessels also trapped within the temporal anomaly, you have found an unlikely but powerful ally.

Your abilities:

• Speak Freely:
  The Black Ops Team are hebichan, Porkens and you. You can communicate privately at any time during the game, day or night here (PT link).
  
• Once a doctor, always a doctor:
  Once during the game you can protect another player from night kills.
  
• The Omega Molecule:
  This dangerous and highly volatile molecule is in stasis. You are able to release it. On the night it's released then all night actions except for explicitly unstoppable kills are blocked. This includes commute, redirect, hide, etc.
  
• Critical Intelligence:
  You know that the second to last ability in every
  Temporal Alliance
  role pm is "
  Strange New Worlds:
  There may be aspects of your role you have not yet learned."
  
• Citizen of the Galaxy:
  While you live, you have the inalienable right to use your voice and your vote as you see fit.

Win Condition:

You win when

Black Ops

achieves numerical parity with remaining non-

Black Ops

players.

Solid teammates! I’ll try not to drag you down

Spoiler:

Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!

You are

The Borg Queen, Ally of Black Ops

.

The temporal anomaly has disrupted the subspace transceivers that enable you to communicate with and direct every Borg drone in transceiver range. You have never experienced loneliness before. Fortunately Section 31 operatives who are also trapped in the temporal anomaly have made an alliance with you. Your objective? To cooperate for the duration of this emergency. After that, you will pursue your own objectives once more.

Your abilities:

• Speak Freely:
  The Black Ops Team are hebichan, PenguinPower and you. You can communicate privately at any time during the game, day or night here (PT link).
  
• Share our biological and technological uniqueness:
  Two times during the the game you can give another player a device. You can give each device once:
  -- Ultimate Personal Weapon. If the player has a night kill (including the factional kill, the player can choose the night to use this weapon. The kill will be unstoppable unless their target either commutes, hides, or is redirected.
  --
  Personal Cloaking Device:
  . On the night the player decides to use this cloaking device, they will be invisible to all motion-based investigations, e.g., tracker, watcher, motion detector, etc.
  The recipient players will be able to use the devices on a subsequent night.
  
• Bring order to chaos:
  Twice during the game at night you can take control of a player who is Borg or who has been Borg in the past. You have two abilities you can make the player use for you, and can use each ability once.
  --
  Dedicated bodyguard
  The controlled player will target you with the bodyguard ability that night.
  --
  Dedicated redirector:
  The controlled player will target you with a redirect to themself. Any night action targeting you that night will instead target the controlled player.
  As long as your target is or has been a borg, you will gain control of them. Your action cannot be interfered with. However, the player you control can be successfully targeted with any actions that can prevent the actions you make them take.
  
• Critical Intelligence:
  You know that the second to last ability in every
  Temporal Alliance
  role pm is "
  Strange New Worlds:
  There may be aspects of your role you have not yet learned."
  
• Citizen of the Galaxy:
  While you live, you have the inalienable right to use your voice and your vote as you see fit.

Win Condition:

You win when

Black Ops

Black Ops

players.

Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!

You are

Seven Of Nine, Borg Liaison of Black Ops

.

With experience and exposure, you've grown impatient with the way Starfleet regulations too often tie the Federation's hands when it comes to responding to threats and opportunities. Section 31 discovered this and recruited you as an expert on the Borg and Black Ops liaison to the Borg Queen. The temporal anomaly represents both existential threat and unimaginable opportunity for Starfleet, for the Federation, and for a potential alliance of equals with the Borg. You are ready to help grasp the opportunity and and neutralize the threat.

Your abilities:

• Speak Freely:
  The Black Ops Team are Porkens, Penguin Power and you. You can communicate privately at any time during the game, day or night here (PT link).
  
• You say that I am a human being and yet, I am also Borg:
  Each night you can visit another player. Your implants will detect if that player is or has ever been a part of the Borg Collective.
  
• Time to regenerate:
  If you learn that the player you visit is or has been Borg, you have the option to create a neighborhood with the player. Once the neighborhood is established, you can choose to add any subsequent Borg/former Borg you locate to the neighborhood.

Ohhhh a doctor, that's neat

[hebichan]

So besides the borg faction and the temporal alliance....are those the only other factions?

We seem very borg aligned but not strictly scum.

[PenguinPower]

Porkens most powerful power relies on finding other Borg/previous Borg which is why you seem to have the ability to do so and neighborize them it seems.

[PenguinPower]

So - in terms of power, I'm a burst power that can be gone after N1 (good, I almost always survive d1 except I probably just jinxed myself), and then the two of you work in conjunction with Porkens being the more powerful of the two.

[PenguinPower]

one-shot doc protect indicates a gated vig probably. or a gated third-party.

pleas to theme mods - please stop using third parties.

[PenguinPower]

critical intelligence is just flavor confusion given the sample role pm but ok

[PenguinPower]

actually - n2 may be the best time for me to use my full stop role after porkens gives the strongman to hebi if we can all survive two day phases.

N1 would be best to use my full stop role for maximum chaos

[hebichan]

Do we have any proof that there is any faction with more than 3 members.

[hebichan]

Unless someone is really scummy d1 I'm coping lld tonight.

[PenguinPower]

I mean - there is nothing in the rules, but this is a mini theme so we're looking at a standard scum team or scum + third party

why?

oh....if this is going to be a mini theme fire & ice I'm going to be maaaaaad

[hebichan]

Well the way things are worded it looks like borg is a cult....who can lose members?

Former borg makes me feel they aren't traditional scum

[PenguinPower]

I'll be even more angry if this is an unadvertised cult game, but with porkens being the Borg queen + powers, I don't think so.

[hebichan]

I'll be even more angry if this is an unadvertised cult game, but with porkens being the Borg queen + powers, I don't think so.

How do you interpret former borg then?

[PenguinPower]

You say that I am a human being and yet, I am also Borg: Each night you can visit another player. Your implants will detect if that player is or has ever been a part of the Borg Collective.

flavor based. there are going to be characters that are/were Borg (hi jean luc ). we're going to have to find them (hence your role), but I don't think they are a cult.

Hm interesting.

[PenguinPower]

remember mod said "Most of the non-factional abilities in your role PMs were created under the assumption that you would draw Temporal Alliance alignment." so you could have been town!former Borg prior to the roll.

Former borg isn't in my role name though.

[Porkens]

Our secret mission this game has to be assimilating locutus! It's a cool setup, and PP's plkan sounds sound.

I don't really understand the critical intelligence piece. is that just for our fakeclaim purposes?

[hebichan]

Can we have a mod clarification on if borg is a faction or flavor?
I know probably not but thought I'd ask.

[Porkens]

Is LLD actually scumreading you or is it just trying to needle you into a reaction?

[Porkens]

"...or is it that she is just trying to needle you..."
