Homestuck in STO

You are Astrel Journe, and these are your voyages in Star Trek Online. You update this blog when you feel like it. Run by @amandathescarlet.

Captain Journe: Recruit new officers.

You've added a good number of new officers to your crew recently, including that Voth Scientist, a Hologram of Doctor Julian Bashir, and an Orion who is part of the Officer Exchange Program with the KDF. You use the Bashir Hologram as an Emergency Medical Hologram. T'Vrell has transfered to another ship (even though you showed her uniform update and she remains in your crew roster ingame), making Lieutenant Reedras your Chief Medical Officer. You've also decided it's too much work to keep the Crew Manifest and Ship Listing updated on the desktop version of your blog, so you've decided to hide the links to those.

Captain Journe: Update the uniforms for your crew.

Uniforms are supposed to be... well, you know... uniform. So you went and made sure all of your crew is at the very least using the Odyssey Uniform and the TNG Film/DS9 Badge.

Captain Journe: One more sequence break.

You head to the Undine Battlezone to grind up some reputation marks. Even though you've been here before, you are given a tutorial about the zone objectives. This is due to the complition of the previous mission.

[astreljourne]

USS Dyson: Engage the Voth!

The Voth and the doorway to outerspace were both obliterated by an Undine Dreadnought. You engage the Undine instead. You are eventually aided by the IKS Bortasqu and the RRW Lleiset, and manage to defeat all the approaching Undine forces.

[astreljourne]

USS Dyson: Give chase.

You find the gateway leads to another dyson sphere, which happens to be the same one the Enterprise-D discovered. It had jumped to a deeper part of the Delta Quadrant when the gateway network was activated though. There you find the USS Gold, which had been studying the Dyson Sphere when it jumped, leaving them stranded for a time. You also notice a Voth city ship chilling at the exit of the sphere. They seem to be waiting for something as they do not engage you.

[astreljourne]

USS Juice: Be the USS Dyson.

Unfortunately Dr. Cooper turned out to be a disguised Undine manipulating Tuvok. He assaults Tuvok and departs. You are about to give chace when you notice the voth are heading toward the gateway as well. You stop as many as you can, but some still make it through.

[astreljourne]

Captain Journe: Shut down the sphere's jump capabilities.

You do this with some help from Dr. Cooper. Unfortunately you need to open another Iconian Gateway to complete the task. This somehow clears the ambient disruptions that were causing you to not be able to contact the ship Tuvok and Cooper came in on, a new experimental class ship known as the USS Dyson.

[astreljourne]

Astrel Journe: BLINDED BY THE LIGHT!

You, Tuvok, and Cooper make your way through the other section of the station, but are blocked by an area that is over exposed to the Dyson Sphere's star. The shutters seem to be malfunctioning, offering only brief moments in the area without being exposed to deadly radiation. You manage to sneak your way between the shadows of the control consols in the room and fix the shutters, allowing for the other two to cross.

[astreljourne]

Captain Journe: Suit up!

It's a good thing there are some EV suits capable of handling the heat from the sun (for a limited time), as you can use them to get across the gap between the two sections. You, Dr. Cooper, and Admiral Tuvok each put on an EV suit to head to the other side. There is some debris blocking the entrance to the other section of the station, but using some enginuity, you manage to clear it with a bomb made from parts of a Voth mech suit and a damaged automated defence drone.

[astreljourne]

Captain Journe: Restart the station's power.

You, with the help of Dr. Cooper, restart the station's power and activate its automated defences. This drives the Voth away from the jump controls and toward you. Luckily, the automated defences systems take care of most of the Voth for you, leaving only a few left in the hallway connecting the two sections of the station. Dr. Cooper decides it's a good idea to explode said hallway. This does take care of the Voth problem, but now you don't seem to have a way to reach the jump controls to disable them.

[astreljourne]

Captain Journe: Meet Admiral Tuvok

The USS Juice transports you down onto the station and then heads off to join the rest of the forces in space. Tuvok greets you as if it's the first time you've met, but he's the one who took command of the fleet that entered fluidic space to combat the Borg presence there. He fills you in on the situation. The Voth ground forces are attempting to sieze control of the station and have been locked onto the other side of the station, thanks to some inginuity from Dr. Cooper and the Admiral. Luckily, there was a power outage that is preventing the Voth from accessing the station's controls on their side, as those are the controls for the sphere's jump capabilities.

[astreljourne]

Alliance Forces: Engage the Voth

A station has been discovered orbiting the star at the center of the Solanae Dyson Sphere. This station controls the Sphere's jump capabilities, allowing it to move to anywhere in the galaxy. The Voth want to take control of this station in order to move it deeper into their own territory.

[astreljourne]

USS Juice: Go to the contested zone.

You take some time to aid Alliance forces in stopping the Voth. The contested zone is filled with polluted areas though, which makes you unhappy.

[astreljourne]

Captain Journe: Speak with Voth dissident.

There is a Voth scientist named Nelen Exil who feels too much pressure from Voth leadership to claim the Sphere was made by their ancestors. He sees this propaganda is an affront to true science, and after exchanging a few messages with him he decides to defect. He becomes one of your science officers.

[astreljourne]

Captain Journe: Meet with Subcommander Kaol

The Dyson Sphere is producing massive amounts of Omega Particles it seems. With the gateway to the Sphere being in Rupublic space, the Romulans are taking charge in the operation to eliminate them. However, given the sphere lays in the Delta Quadrent, the Voth are trying to take control of the Sphere and Omega Particle production for themselves. It is up to an Alliance of the Federation, Empire, and Republic to stop them.

[astreljourne]

USS Juice: Enter the gateway.

You cross the threshold of the Iconian Gateway into the Solanea Dyson Sphere.

====>

After defeating the Elachi fleet, and argument breaks out on the Obelisk's bridge about what should be done about the Iconian Gateway. You and Captain Shon agree it should be destroyed. The Romulans, however, have claimed it as theirs as it is in Republic space, and that it is no different than the Bajoran Wormhole. Not wanting to offend their allies, Koren speaks for the Empire and says they will support the Romulan Republic in their endevor. Captain Shon recieves a hail from the Enterprise, stating the terminus of the gateway is at a fixed point and all screens are showing Omega. This causes Shon to reconsider his position.
