This page is in need of content. Needs more message about the various scenarios

Borg Scenario

Superior Chief Uhura fiddles with some dials and announces, "Coming up on the viewscreen now, Captain."

A figure comes in to focus on the viewscreen and pronounces, "I am 1 of 1,000,000 of the Electrocollective Collective. In <n> minutes, we will assimilate your crew and ship. Resistance is futile."

"What do you mean assimilate?"

"We will resist!"

"What do you want with us?"

"This conversation is futile"

The first three responses simply repeat the same statement from the alien conversation. Selecting the last one is the only way to end the conversation

Crystalline Race Scenario

Superior Chief Uhura fiddles with some dials and announces, "Coming up on the viewscreen now, Captain."

As the image clear, you see a strange being made of some sort of nearly-transparent crystalline substance.

A strange harmonic sound comes over the channel and you think maybe the being is looking at you expectantly as the sound fades.

---

"Hello?"

Wait patiently

Enjoy the harmonic sounds

It doesn't matter which option you choose, they all result in the same conversation

After a few moments, the being turns off-screen and fiddles with something.

"Greetings fellow traveller."

"Greetings. This is captain of this ship, the Starship Organization."

"Who are you and why are your weapon systems energized?"

Again your choice doesn't matter, it results in the same conversation

"My name, is <interesting chord sound>, but perhaps you had best refer to me as <alienChordName> in your primitive language."

"The noise of your ship is rather discordant and we can not abide it. In the interest of interstellar harmony, we shall be bringing all systems on your ship to cesura in <n> measures."

"We need those systems to live!"

"Unfortunately, your race is quite discordant. I believe it is best for your part to be tacet in coming compositions. Fine."

Returns you to the Bridge

"Can make our emissions more harmonious?"

"Unfortunately, your race is quite discordant. I believe it is best for your part to be tacet in coming compositions. Fine."

Returns you to the Bridge

Play the flute

If you haven't asked Uhura to adjust the phase

You play a magnificent flute solo, and <alienChordName> listens quietly.

"That was wonderful, Captain, but somehow out of phase."

"Unfortunately, your race is quite discordant. I believe it is best for your part to be tacet in coming compositions. Fine."

"That could have gone better," you tell the bridge crew as the image fades away.

Returns you to the Bridge

If you have asked Uhura to adjust the phase

<Superior Chief> Uhura adjusts some knobs, "I think I have the phase dialed in, Captain, blow that flute!"

You perform a jaunty little number, incorporating all the notes of the Diminished E Flat 11th chord and then some.

"Bravo! Bravo! Well done, Captain. Perhaps there is hope for your race after all. We shall place mutes in our ears and abandon this sector at once."

After returning to stardock, there is a grand parade and an awards ceremony; after all, you did resolve the situation without loss of life!

Just as your commanding officer is pinning a second medal to your uniform, you feel yourself being pulled back from the future.

"Well," you think, "at least I have the memory of earning <n> medals in the future."

You earn 2 medals in the future for this solution

Emoticon Scenario

Private Uhura fiddles with some dials and announces, "Coming up on the viewscreen now, Admiral."

A small humanoid creature resolves on the view screen, it appears to be wearing a striped conical hat.

"Hey there fellow traveller we were in the neighborhood and saw that you had quite a large crew," the creature says quickly and breathlessly.

"I'm Booprackfoopackding by the way in case you were wondering what's your name I heard the lady call you Admiral that's a weird name.

"We heard that your ancients are off the ship right now so we're going to come over for a spacekegger and party until the spacecows come home k that's cool right we'll be there in 44 minutes or so we've got spacechips and spacedip that we can bring do you have and spacebeer or spaceale if not we know a guy that can spacebuy..."

You try and get a word in edge-wise:

"Can you slow down?"

"You want to have a party?"

"Who are the ancients?"

"Yeah the ancients the old people the parents the man the fuddy-duddies they don't seem to be on your ship right now so we thought we could get together and exchange emotions talk and long protein strands we'll see you soon k thanks bye!"

The viewscreen shuts off. Only a few seconds have passed but it takes you a minute or so before your brain can slow down and process what just happened.

Returns you to the Bridge
