[EVENT] MIRROR BIOs (Part Of Reflection Day)

September 05 2015
Name: Aikune
Alias: The Borg Tsar
Department: Section 31
Post: Director
Mission: Management and operations of Section 31
Vessel: Various
Species: Betazed-Human
Age: 30

In public the Director of Section 31 was only interested in the security and prosperity of the new Terran Empire. He publicly announced the hunt and executions of dissidents and those who would even breathe a measure of revolt against the Empire. In reality he was probably the Empire’s biggest threat.

He’s a Betazed, but even by Betazed standard his psychic abilities was intensely powerful. He was taken from his parent at a young age was tested and forced to develop his abilities to dangerous levels. He killed and drove insane his first 4 handlers before his fifth, a Vulcan slave named Tosak, used his own mental prowess to somewhat temper Aikune’s abilities.

At the age of 15 a group of armed rebels stormed the facility Aikune was kept in and attempted to use him as a weapon against the empire. They used several empaths enhanced with implants stolen from the Borg to enhance their abilities. For a time they were able to control Aikune only because he let them. He used the forced connection to float though their subconscious and even going so far as finding a hidden Borg ship deep in the Empire’s Teritory.

Realizing this threat, Aikune assumed control not only of himself but most of the rebel empaths as well. Among them a Romulan named Sondheim and an Orion named Elphaba. And in an instant the rebellion was put down. Aikune was hailed as a hero of the Empire and was given a ship to better serve the emperor.

He took his fleet to hunt down the Borg Cube that he discovered while his consciousness was detached from his body. The cube was indeed on route to Earth for an unknown reason and Aikune didn’t intend to wait to find out. But he also saw an opportunity for the Empire and an even greater one for him. He used the Borg implant and connected his consciousness to the Borg cube he activated the tertiary adjunct of the cube Eight of Ten and began taking command of the Cube.

Once Aikune had complete control of the cube he began showing a greater interest in Eight of Ten. He had always admired and perhaps even aroused by the Borg. He began experimenting on Eight of Ten and learned the entirety of what the Empire knows of the Borg and even more that he kept for himself. He took what he felt the Empire Should know and gave it to them and used the rest to hunt down and acquire various ships from a multitude of species. He outfit them with stolen Borg technology and was known by the enemies of the Empire as the Borg Tsar, as the crew of his ships were either Borg or partially assimilated, and he would be safe with in his enclave on Earth.

Through his victories earned him tremendous political capital that he used to gain him the position of Section 31. He argues that his fleet would help him maintain the security of the empire because they would allow his ability to reach though all corners of the empire.

Several years into his rule over Section 31 he came across an anomaly. A temporal destroyer on route from 2020 to 2409 encounter a temporal fissure and the reaction with its damaged chroniton regulator created a copy of the ship and its crew, the original was able to return to its destination, however the copy was sent to Aikune’s universe. To Aikune’s surprise the captain of the temporal destroyer was himself. Aikune converged all his ships to the temporal destroyer’s location and quickly overwhelmed and disabled the ship. He assimilated the crew but left the captain, himself alive.

Aikune interrogated his doppelganger and quickly learned that on an even level both of them was equally matched telepathically but thanks to Borg technology he was able to subdue and command his double. He kept the event and everything he gained a secret even from the empire, the crew that had some severance of free will was threatened with days in the agony chamber if they told the secret.

He took command of the ship and discovered in it’s ready room an unlit torched. Inscribed on it was “The Games of the XXXII Olympiad Tokyo 2020”. He replicated it and displayed it lit as a trophy. He kept the ship slightly out of temporal phase so any ship passing by would think they just detected an interesting but fleeting anomaly before they were ambushed. Aikune realizing the potential and power began to plan and he began to design the overthrow of the emperor and crown himself Tsar.

I'm a sworn police officer... but three years ago, my uncle encouraged me to convert to Buddhism. My religion embodies a philosophy of pacifism, so unfortunately, while I can conduct investigations, I can't arrest or revoke people's freedoms, no matter what atrocities they've committed or how dangerous they are to the public. I have the right to freedom of religion, so instead of admitting that I'm no longer able to fulfill the obligations of my job, I'm just going to continue collecting a paycheque funded by the hard working, tax paying members of the public, if that's okay with you all.

Same rationale. Except this sounds ridiculous. Nobody would support it. Somehow work Christianity into the mix, and I'll have a GoFundMe page and a million bucks of conservative money.

I don't feel anger toward this person, but she's definitely milking this.

A) There's nothing to cook! It's super simple!

B) If you put hot peppers in the brine when you pickle the cabbage, you can just use those instead of banana peppers. I just forgot until I went to assemble everything so I substituted. But I HIGHLY recommend the roasted red peppers!!


And Gagh.... I'll think about it. Obviously nothing alive.

She's an elected official, so the only way she can be removed from her position is through a vote on impeachment by the state congress, which in a state like KY that is deeply conservative...that just won't happen.

She's said she won't quit, and she'll sit in jail "for as long as it takes."

There are times for religious debate and everyone has a right to their beliefs. But Kim Davis is an officer of the government, and you just have to cut through the bullshit and say "Hey. You took an oath, and part of that oath is doing your job while following the law. You're doing neither, and you're ignoring a precedent set by the highest fucking court in the land. You can do your job, or you can resign or go to jail."

So for now, jail it is while she stands firm and won't resign.

Just another sadly misguided person that does not want to come out of their little conservative bubble. Sad.


Exactly... so should we send her a gift basket and stuff for her duration in jail?

Dont everyone put your hand up all at once now..

The issue with getting her to either quit or removed from her position as a county clerk is that the government cant do it. She has to quit willingly and/or a person from the Kentucky county official can remove her from office, if i am not mistake?

But i agree with what you said Dex.

Oh I am not saying being fined would help either, what I am saying is she shouldn't be in the job she is in as she cannot perform her job.

I don't think her views are ever going to be changed so ultimately she just shouldn't have a career where those views impact on others.


The problem i just see is that people who are in positions of power whether it be a county clerk, a boss at starbuck or any position where there's a power of authority involved, they just don't get it that they sometimes have to leave their issues, beliefs and/or predisposition of personal judgement at home, at the door when they are involving themselves with communities.

Her defense was a lie on top of a lie, and she knows that but even if she admits the truth, she is going to be looked upon as the person who stopped something due to religious reasons. And those are hard to change when one has grown on principal where their beliefs can be hurtful, whether it be a minority or not.

Religion is very tabooish of topic in my books, hard to talk about especially when involving the developmental side of things from birth to adulthood.

I don't think she deserves to rot in jail over her beliefs, I do believe she needs to be removed from office on the basis that she cannot function in her role because of her beliefs.

The fact that the court seem unable to do that without holding a session seems crazy, and the fact that when they do hold a session they could still end up re electing her?


If the just gave her the fee someone would pay it off for her and she wouldn't learn. As much as open ended jail time leaves a bad taste in my mouth, it has to be done.

Making Money in STO

September 04 2015
Tour the Galaxy can get about 350,000EC, it is a daily and can be done per character.

Doing Foundry missions for the loot drops is another way, can get about 200,000-800,000 per toon if you are lucky with the drops (though they did revalue some so 800,000 might be reaching now).

Doff assignments

The key to anything in this game is using multiple toons.

Tour the galaxy is a good way to make a bit of ec. Otherwise selling drops is the way to go. Also selling the level 15 R&D items is an option. And finally quick cash by buying keys or ship modules using zen and selling. But obviously that requires real investment or a boat load of dilithium.

Hey fleeties,

Just a general question, cause I saw that someone has like 25million credits to give away. I'm not asking for any, no worries. I'm just curious to know what I should be doing mission-wise to get boat loads of credits. I'm sitting at like 500,000 and every mission I do just gives me gear and the only credits I seem to be getting is from selling stuff.

Is there something I'm missing? What are these mythical quests that give out credits?

Your first video game

September 04 2015
I have no idea what the actual first game was. Friends had an Amstrad CPC or Sinclair Spectrum.

I finally managed to beg my parents into getting something similar which led to a Commodore 64 with a few games like Ghostbusters 2 and something called Oh No. It was a space rustling game. Your cows were glowing orbs and the rustlers were essentially just brackets that would surround and carry the orb away unless you managed to shoot them in time.

I decided to make authentic hasperat. Pickled brine cabbage with hot peppers and cayenne. I layered spinach, roasted red peppers, banana peppers, and added chive cream cheese.

It's honestly the most delicious thing ever.
