- The Tkon have moved their forces to a new vessel, and ancient bioforming ship and now the USS Resolute and crew must intercept them to halt their plans with Portal. Now Rydek assumes command of the vessel while Diaz returns to the ship to form a plan of action. My first blind playthrough of Star Trek Resurgence, slightly edited for length but a live let's play stepping into the shoes of Commander Jara Rydek and Crewman Carter Diaz on the USS Resolute, a Centaur Refit Class science vessel that has fallen on hard times.

Man, Solano was right about the amount of back talk on this ship
Have a feeling they modeled "Resolute" after the "Pegasus" (Riker's first ship). Similar type of ship on a secret science mission that went terribly wrong and a big morale problem among the bridge crew. With a different outcome of course (On the "Resolute" Jara's mutiny was successful and she manages to safe the day. On the "Pegasus" just listen to Riker's recollection to Picard on TNG's "The Pegasus").
I had a feeling not telling Starfleet about the shield algorithms would come back to bite. Might have had a new defense ready by now.
We've seen this before in "Picard" S3 when the Changelings stole the Fleet's transporter and shield codes, enabling the Borg Queen to broadcast a ray that turned all young Starfleet officers and crew into drones. Given that "Resurgence" occured appx 20 years before, I'm very surprised to see Starfleet Command hasn't learned anything.
"waddup G" made me spit take 😂
I understand Urmott being angry, but my man, your in a navy I can't see any Starfleet officer doing something like that to Picard or Sisko, that is pure insubordination.
Writers kinda went a bit, overboard, with the negative effects of your choices in this game.
@@Eucep Yea kinda look like it, I like this game, it looks fun, but in situation like that, it feels forced, also I doubt that breaking line of command would help.
@@lindor6393 That female laforge is another one. Upholding the values of starfleet at the beginning of the story only to suggest genocide and then getting mad when she's denied her wish. Pathetic.
They have definitely all seemed more childish in this episode.
@@TurKlack Bedrosian need an immediate referral to Counselor Troi or Dax. Must have some psychological scars from the Dominion War (which ended a few years before "Resurgence").
The writers really got me to hate Bedrosian.
I simply welcomed her with a "Do your job." because that idiot had a temper tantrum during a crisis because I wouldn't commit genocide.
Hell, when I wouldn't take her resignation during a crisis, she reveals that she had send her resignation already to Starfleet and just went to her room to sulk.
She's really is just a "pseudo conflicted character".
At first she's basically upholding the value of Starfleet and the Federation by purposfully and fully risking her life to protect others from Death. She even got the scars to tell the tale. Than all of a sudden she forgets all of those values and request the Captain to commit genocide? Are the writers insane? did they forget their own characters or did they just want a terrible "controversial" Conflict? For fuck sake this Story is trash the longer it goes on. Everybody acts like a child and the player barely knows anything about the People that you are supposed to make First Officer. Ever since "not-blueberry" got turned First Officer he suddenly seems to only pull out one terrible idea after the other. Going so far as to eradicate the whole crew of a possessed Starfleet vessel despite them being dead in the water, so to speak.
This is making no sense.
Same thought. This iteration of Bedrosian should be drummed out of Starfleet; she is endangering her crewmates and abrogating her duty in the middle of a Federation-wide crisis to sulk because... the captain wouldn't commit genocide??? She seemed heroic earlier, but then she suddenly became a bloodthirsty psychopath. Even Lon Suder says "Tone it down, lady, they never did anything to you."
I call her lieutenant War Crimes, try and emotionally blackmail ME into committing crimes against sentient life on MY bridge! Janeway her the fuck out of there!
Whilst I can understand Bedrosian disagreeing with the Captain on tactical terms, resigning during an on-going emergency is dereliction of duty. She shouldn't have been allowed to resign. She should be in the brig and charged with dereliction of duty.
Or at the very least shouldn't Rydek have pointed out they wouldn't punish all the Klingons for the actions of a renegade group.
Bit miffed with the writers this episode to be honest.
Firstly when crew were hit by the bioforming ray, fill the affected decks with
Anesthizine Gas to knock everybody out. Then get the Doc to sort out the affected people.
Secondly Rydek should have localised command functions to the Bridge.
All things used in Star Trek TNG at least once. If not several times.
That's a lot of terrible flying from those federation ships to fly right into the front of the giant 'one of us' beam.
Good cliffhanger ending for this episode, but I agree with the other commenters who ask why the Starfleet ships are only attacking the Tkon ship from the front. Hell, they could easily surround it and attack from multiple angles at the same time.
Advanced tech or no, I'm fairly certain that such an attack would severely cripple, if not outright destroy, the Tkon ship, and pretty quickly and easily, too.
32:10 - 32:23 Thank goodness Portal 63 was there. Otherwise it would've taken Diaz too long to configure the transporter and the bioformed crew could've infiltrated the transporter room.
"Improvised battlegroup"? That sounds an awful lot like "Wolf 359 all over again"...
With a different outcome, although at least half the fleet got 'bioformed.'
Great name for a band though.
Every Starfleet Battlegroup is improvised I swear...
26:06 The Aphelion must be one of the largest battleship on the Trek-verse. It's twice the size of a Romulan D'Deridex warship 😉
Waddup G...
Instant coffee on my screen moment.
Love Tkon technology and the concepts for the race
Portal 63 is the best T'kon character of them all. He was bad-ass in TNG's "Last Outpost" and he is bad-ass on this series as well 😉
@@LGranthamsHeir I just wish the main TV show could be this good
@@wolfbane7497 I know. Somehow Paramount Central has problem producing proper 'Trek' series (other than SNW). I blame Kurtzman for that.
@@LGranthamsHeir I actually like his digital model more than the original. His hairdo is LEGENDARY!
Either this kind of mission is the kind that makes the career of every person present
Or this kind of mission going violently FUBAR is way more common than starfleet would like to admit.
It's definitely something you don't see often on flaghip starships like the 'Enterprise' but given how many times on TOS and TNG the -E had to rescue or recover other starships which went through hell with most or all their crew KIA, FUBAR mission did happen a lot on Starfleet and "Resurgence" is a good illustration of it.
@@LGranthamsHeir I hope Starfleet has a good system to make medals.
The prime timeline's probably the one where all the really major FUBARs didn't go wrong, thanks to the temporal Starfleet/Federation cops from the future. I'll bet if they had still been going, they'd have found a way to prevent the burn from happening.
@@ManabiLT By the time "DIsco" ends next season, the writers would've been figured out a plot to retcon "The Burn"
This chapter certainly is action packed!
I don't recall star fleet personal to be so petty. This episode and every other
Great episode
Great series
'Resurgence' is the best current 'Trek' series along with SNW. Somehow Paramount Central has a problem producing proper 'Trek' series. I blame Kurtzman for that.
22:20 Good choice you pick Westbrook as your XO. He's the most senior officer aboard and knows the ship and its crew inside and out. Jara might be put off by his lack of respect towards her, but he does have the experience and the temperament to be a XO. Bedrossian is completely immature (witness her meltdown once Jara decides to beam the T'kon vault inside the ship) while Urmott is not much different from the latter (witness how he confronted Jara after she appointed Westbrook).
I honestly don’t think I could have taken Westbrook. His little conversation with Diaz earlier on sealed it for me; badmouthing the new XO in front of a junior enlisted man is bad, bad news. That will have a corrosive impact on the chain of command really quickly. Urmott is the better officer, and the better pick, regardless of seniority.
@@pjlusk7774 Yet Urmott also had his 'meltdown' moment as seen in 23:06 when he's not chosen to be XO. Westbrook has issues with Jara as seen in his revelation to Diaz, but he knows the ship and its crew inside and out. I think he could be a good XO who can serve as 'devil's advocate' to Jara when she's contemplating a decision.
43:10 Didn't know you can stun 'Urmott' (or 'Westbrook') and disable the warp core command afterwards. I thought to successfully do this you have to kill them, otherwise they'd shoot and kill you (since by now the Scion seems to be immune from the 'stun' option).
"Who brought the Miranda" well at least it wasn't an Oberth
O_O can't wait for the next one!
Next one is the season's finale. But I'm so looking forward to a new "Resurgence" sequel game 😊
Why not Mass Effect? Like as a play through?
It just occurred to me. You could use it to fill in the fallow periods in STO. And you like the series.
4:24 Its Simon Phoenix
He's a Blast from the past.
Thank you so much for this playthrough! i look forward to them every week.
Sadly next week would've been "Resurgence" final episode. We're not that far away from the ending now 😒
18:05 a bit of desync between what's said and written in the subtitle but I love the judo reference XD
Rickkkkkkkkkk (done in your best William Shatner voice). 👍
19:20 Salute to the game-makers for finding a voice actor who can perfectly project Spock's voice and persona better than the two actors who played him in JJ Trek movies and SNW.
Come ON! The Bioforming Ray is a straight out the front weapon. Just how hard is it for a ship to keep out of the front arc?????????
Those idiot game-writers certainly didn't think this through 😃😒
So the first officer on his own can shut down the core without higher authorisation and it requires it the captain in person to reinstate it…that seems a security issue if their ever was one.
I love your Vids!
That aphelion battle is .. well a bit ... terrible actually. If you want to avoid the beam, just fly in any other place than right in front of it. Didn't STO teach you anything? BACK TO THE ACADEMY!
28:24 - 28:34 How come Jara who had a look at the bioform ray wasn't affected when the Ophelion fired and bioformed dozens of Engineering folks? Is it because she has more deuridium running inside her veins? Having said this, some bridge officers also looked at the bioform ray and they were not affected either.
It’s not “seeing” that ray that converts you it’s being directly hit by it
@@Tyr666Thor Good point, thanks!
As if Starfleet could resist bringing in a couple Miranda class rust buckets
This is the best
You should've taken her in to the escape pod, so that Portal 63 would be able to undo her bioforming.
uhm... Bioforming cannot be undone.
Everyone who's bioformed is technically dead and replace with a T'kon.
@@Tezunegari They'll find a way to reverse it and un-dead their people
@@Tezunegari Starfleet hasn't gotten a clue whether bioforming can be reversed or not. It's similar to how Borg assimilation was considered more-or-less permanent unless it's undone in a short period (like Picard). Only latter when they rescued Seven they learned that it can be reversed albeit it would take time for the affected person to fully return to their original state.
@@LGranthamsHeirexcept unlike where assimilation can be reversed as the Borg nanoprobes can be removed from your nervous system, the bioforming however is permanent as it completely takes over your body and mind, replacing the person's brain wave pattern with someone else.
I picked Urmott for my CO. I don't know why. a lot of the interaction with Westbrook was unremarkable, and watching Ric's playthrough, I remember what a dick he was sometimes. Westbrook takes it badly too, and you still get the confrontation in the corridor. And, it looks like whichever one you don't pick you end up in the fight with in the computer core.
Unless you choose the 'vent the air' option when Jara would've encountered a dead "Urmott" or "Westbrook" in the computer core instead of fighting w/one of them.
@@LGranthamsHeir Hmm... Interesting. I suppose the player had no way of knowing if they did this on the first playthrough whether they offed a Scion, or murdered one of their bridge crew. I didn't choose that option, obviously, because I'm not an ice-cold motherf***er.
@@Peregrine57 It's unthinkable in classic-Trek, yet a feasible option in JJ & Kurtzman-Trek. Glad 'Resurgence' largely follows the classic-Trek (TOS & TNG) formula, as seen in Jara's rebuke of Bedrosian when the latter suggested the T'kon host should be bombed to extinction.
@@LGranthamsHeir they prefer to avoid it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's unthinkable. It's always an option. The very first (second) episode, the captain murders his best friend.
The absolute ego Bedrosian has,
To think that her personal connection and career is more important to someone else over saving millions.
Enemy or not the entire philosy of starfleet is to preserve peace and life and the the needs of the many outweigh that of the few.
And then just dipping out on something so important. If the ship wasnt desperate she deserves to completely kicked from starfleet
You made the right decision to make him your first officer? Ummm, that's not foreshadowing at all!
2 Miranda at least
And not a single Jack...
id put guards on those cystals and guards on those guards. just to be safe. ok im of the opinion must vulcans deserve only to be thrown in a wood chipper but chovak is growing on me
1:00:42 - 1:00:50 Who's the name of this Aussie-accented captain? Which ship does she command?
Captain Bruce of the USS Crickey.
@@talideon She's a female captain though.
@@LGranthamsHeir Bruce can be a surname (last name), so the gender wouldn't matter if that is the situation.
USS Takayashi - Cheyenne Class
That whole encounter with Urmott was so unnecessary. Stun his axx right after you flipped… HELLO. First annoyance for me of this play through.. 🤨
Eh, the wiles of being a captain. Everyone's grumpy with you for doing whatever you're doing..
Problem is that this is a Kobayashi Maru thing. You cannot please everyone. If you had chosen Urmott, Westbrook would've been peeved. If you had destroyed the TKon crystals, Bedrosian would've stayed, but someone else had decided to leave, changing up the First Officer thing again, so this is all really a fustercluck eitherway.
Is that Feyd Rautha / Sting?
Nah, it's Klaus Kinski.
algorithm comment
Algorithm reply.
So I have to know….
Is it good?
Shoulda chose galvan. He's the oblivious choinst
Wait, Chekov isn't here so why is Chekov's gun here?
Westbrook was the right choice. He commands authority and “yes men” are cause for downfall. Westbrook is far from being a yes man.
More cultur index
Now it's just stupid. The Tkon are the Borg. All the same issues. Just plain dumb.
Except that they didn't seem to have a Queen that controls everyone in the collective. And at this point bioforming seems to have a permanent effect of the host, while assimilation can be reversed.
@@LGranthamsHeir really? Not having a queen and not yet knowing how to undo the transformation are your problem?
It's a Borg story arc. And when it's only down to a queen...then what?
Different motivations, methods and technology. There's no hive mind either. Their only similarity is that they use other life forms to bolster their numbers.
@@highlordlaughterofcanada8685 obviously I wasn't try to say the Tkon ARE THE ACTUAL BORG. I am saying that the writers are so bereft of skill that they took the Borg storyline and replaced them with the Borg...which, plot element by plot element, they did.
@@xavariusquest4603 It's clearly not obvious if the only people to comment so far didn't immediately figure it out. All you're doing is saying "It's a Borg story" but not giving details. Instead you're going "Really that's your problem?!?!?" Actually explain yourself instead of losing your patience next time and people won't get confused.
The post-TOS era with the metal colours but with the ugly dull aquamarine blue colour is so ugly..
