    An enjoyable fourth part to this mission. Though it still leaves great intrigue as to status of the Borg Kingdom, Undine, & Aetherians.
    7:10 ; Personally, I head-canon that repair ability as 25th century Starfleet reverse-engineering Borg & Undine regeneration nanotech and having it be a precursor to starships being grown in the 26th century.
    10:20 That's a hard fight with XV gear too (that's not pay-to-win dps). Plus, the Borg reengineering V'ger/C'qur tech and the two having separate origins, rather than one creating the other like some theories have it, makes more sense.
    Mark Hale should probably head to either an Earth farm or Risa while seeking therapy until the next mission.

    Your AAR for this event is very interesting, but raises some fairly concerning points. The timing of the Aetherian's arrival in that pocket anomaly is just one in a long line of issues highlighted here; and like most I can't really offer any help with that, but there is one problem I can: You once promised a tour of the Armager, I'd like to take you up on that, and to drag my chief engineer along too. There's been a few system refinements for the Yorktown class since Armager was launched, and we've made a few non-standard modifications to the Aylesford that you might also find interesting. Kind regards.

    If V'ger mission is to travel other spaces dimensions and whatnot, then eventually they will need to use the fludic space interconnection.
    Now in fludic space their digitalizer projectiles might be uneffective as it would hit the fluid and they cannot possibly digitalise the entire universe like that. Still we can see that their design CAN traverse the space itself though. So it could end up in a stalemate where you are brought in again.
    One more thing, this new happy race would probably opose V'ger, as it is a concentration of things, what they seems to hate. Thes seems to endorse diversity. So we could see them spark an agression towards it, triggering mirror V'ger into action.
    Lukary could even end up joining them as she might see V'ger data gathering similar to borg assimilation too.
    All and all there are plenty of future events that would be fun to explore the morality and which sides to take, and while V'ger is at least galaxy level threat, the happy race told that they a galaxy wide civilization so they could have the resources to fight against a V'ger, especially if the undine are with them. To me the Undine seems to be a universal level race, the borg kingdom seems to be multy galaxy level.
    Against all that, the primary actors of Star treck are still surgical strike people with lots of lots of plot armor :D

      And you the map overall isn't that much larger than what we've seen in Star Trek so far so, nothing like the Shackelton Expanse in the Star Trek RPG (a region "east" of the typical Fed-Space)

    The Aetherians are a level five civilization with the ability to travel the multiverse, and just so happen to arrive to help at a very convenient moment. Call me paranoid all you like, but I have played to many videogames and watched to much Sc-fi to know that the Aetherians are not to be trusted. and not to mention our character is probably seeing all the red flags too, considering the sheer amount of different types of conflicts they have fought in as well as the times they've been betrayed or had an enemy become friend.
