Some of the highlights:
- New Gauntlet crew coming VERY soon
- Another mini-event is likely coming this summer, with a different reward structure
- A new round of temporary achievements (a la Bones McCoy) coming as soon as this month
- New Distress Call coming this summer
- Event UI updates coming
- Potential "achievement events"
- No Regrets Picard appears to not be coming to the game :(

So anyway, watch! Discuss! Let us know what you think!

    Quick hijack, thanks to everyone that came to the live chat. Thanks to my cohosts @Automaton_2000 and StarsAndGarters. Thanks to the quickly arranged mod team I assembled. Thanks to everyone who submitted questions. Most of all thanks to Ben from WRG for joining us. I'm still in shock by how well it all went. Anyway, carry on.

    And thanks to Shan for also joining us in the chat as well!

    Bio-Temporal Chamber Kes??

    I rewatched Before and After recently and can’t remember anyone from the episode looking like that.

    Maybe it’s Kes in the middle of when she’s transporting back in time?

    That silhouette is terrifying. Could it be the female Caretaker?

    Hmmm good point and good observation skills :smiley: not sure what she would have to do with Before and After though

    That was not clear (I was looking for an answer to that myself) however, the prospects of more honor sales look pretty good.

    **also**

    If it is Suspiria that reinforces my suspicions about the ‘Caregiver’ trait being featured for the mega!!!

    My first thought was C'thulu. I hope I'm wrong. The "achievement events" seem the most exciting to me, followed by temporary achievements.

    It sure looks like an almost exact mirror image silhouette of that purple creature - so it's got to be Suspiria!

    Not directly related to "Before and After," but since we are in temporal anomaly storylines, almost anything must be fair game...

    Which Picard would this be?

    He's not the one vacationing with Q in Risa, right? @Automaton_2000 was very adamant that they include Speedo Picard--it was at the top of his list of proposed additions.

    I agree that would be great. I also wouldn't mind meeting more of the staff, if they are willing. :)

    Of course it could be a complete misdirection and be a mash up timelines original.

    This is really cool, thank you for summarizing it for those of us trapped at work! And kudos to the devs for taking part in this, it's great to have a sense of what's coming next.

    All of these sound pretty good, especially the new Gauntlet crew. Shame about No Regrets Picard, though. Maybe it was too violent/bloody? It does literally show him getting impaled.

    Hearing a new temporary achievement is coming this month, I wonder if they are going to make that part of the mega and make it a feature going forward. Having an achievement to work towards outside the events would be a nice way to make the month feel like the mega and not just 4 events. I just hope it's a second crew and not shifting the mega 5* from event rewards to an achievement.

    I liked last time how they offered McCoy at $10 at the start. It was better than costing $25 to immortalizing him and I’m sure they made a few more sales that way versus the $25 DYC
