Doctor Noonian Soong ran out of time to perfect his androids; the temporal anomaly crisis has given him a second chance. With the benefit of being able to study Data, Lore, and B4’s development since his death, Doctor Soong has come to a startling conclusion: the physicality of an android is actually a hindrance to the development of an artificial lifeform. The true artificial lifeform isn’t bound by the limitations of a physical body, but moves at the speed of thought, more like a hologram. To that end, with the help of the Augments, Doctor Soong has begun experiments in creating a new artificial lifeform, a fusion of hologram and android. This has attracted attention from his “son”, Lore, who objects to the notion that androids like himself are flawed and has recruited the Romulans to his cause. Holograms and Androids alike who object to this research but do not trust Lore have found a champion in Winn Adami and the Bajorans, who argues that these new lifeforms are given sentience by the Prophets, not men.
Event Name: Ghost in the Machine
Event Type: Faction Event Start: Thursday, 11/02 at Noon ET (16:00 UTC) Event Finish: Monday, 11/06 at Noon ET (17:00 UTC)

These exact event crew provide the best bonuses, but all versions of event crew + all crew with the Hologram trait, and all crew with the Android trait will provide some.

The crews of the Shenzhou and the Discovery have thus far been unable to shed much light on their own time, having been plucked from the beginning of their respective voyages. A younger Sarek arrives to warn Starfleet that the galactic politics of the era both ships hail from could spell disaster here in the present, where so many stand to profit from a return to the conflicts of the past. Intertwined plots are escalating conflict between the Federation, the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, and the Klingon Empire. Unless you can unravel them, the Alpha Quadrant may soon be plunged into war.

Upon arriving in the present, most of the Shenzhou and Discovery crew were lucky enough to find themselves still on their respective ships, but not all. Lieutenant Tyler and Cadet Tilly appeared on board an Orion slaver ship, and are now on their way to be sold in the Orion slaving market. As the first versions of themselves to have appeared in the present day, they are also expected to fetch a ridiculous sum. The Federation cannot afford to engage in a war with the Orion Syndicate over two Starfleet officers, but neither do they wish to see Tyler and Tilly sold beyond reach. It is up to you and a few all-too-willing factions to win Tyler and Tilly’s freedom at auction.

While the U.S.S. Shenzhou’s destructive entry into the present was wholly unintended, the U.S.S. Discovery’s arrival sets off conflict of an all-too-familiar nature. When the Discovery suddenly found itself in hostile Augment space, Captain Lorca, a combat veteran and lauded military tactician, immediately engaged the enemy. For the first time, the Augments find themselves evenly matched: Captain Lorca’s offensive is threatening the new future they have carved out for themselves since arriving in this timeline. The Augments realize the conflict of interest in asking for help against a fellow Starfleet officer, and the Federation hasn’t exactly made peace with the Augments as a whole. But surely Starfleet supports peace between their two factions? Either shore up the Augments’ defenses against the Discovery, or join Captain Lorca in dealing a serious blow to Khan Noonien Singh’s burgeoning empire.
