Oh. Paris from "Threshold"

I thought we didn't talk about that episode.

Anyways, give him the sound clip "Pepperoni!"

robownage

Yay for a new Sato! More stars for Phlox! Threshold Paris will be a thing!

Well, two out of three is pretty good.

For Cardassia

I am truly shocked that we're getting Lizard Paris before Lizard Janeway.

Otherwise this looks like a solid event, and I'm glad we're getting a new Hoshi

*Nomad* {PoF}

meh.....

Ricard Daystrom

I wasnt here for Mirror Phlox when he first came, so I'm happy about that. A new Sato is alway a welcome edition, but why this:

Dirk Gunderson

Faction event where Mirror Phlox is event crew? Sign me up.

From MemoryAlpha:

Loque'eque Sato


Mutated Paris

Hopefully the third picture and not the nightmarish second one

I'm kind of hoping it's the fourth one, because if we're going to acknowledge this episode, we might as well acknowledge it in its full glory. Janeway/Paris Lizard Babies incoming.

Just when i thought it would be safe to put mirror sato in the freezer, lol, perhaps saved me some transmission credits. I'm guessing variants and those with primal trait perhaps as bonus crew?

I'd bet on the 2nd or 3rd ones since it would be easier to interact with it in the event storyline.

You don't want to read and event monologue that's just "*hissing*"?

And when you fuse lizard Paris with a janeway, you get Lizard babies!

I'm guessing the factions will be Federation, Terran Empire and maybe Augments?

We weren't able to get that implemented in time. :-(

PompeyMagnus

Oooooh, Loque'eque Sato! But do I really want Threshold Paris? I guess that depends on how far along the mutation process we're talking. Great that Mirror Phlox is the existing, I could use more stars on him.

Yateball

Sato - Yay, Phlox already FF, and speaking about the travesty that was "Threshold" makes me want to vomit... so a 1 out of 3 for me

How many factions?
How many transmissions?

Yateball

If I "Warp 10" any missions during this event am I essentially spitting in Mutated Paris's face? Cuz that sounds like something I want to be a part of
Shoulda been a Galaxy event...

Captain Lost

Looks like it’s going to be a week off for me! Congrats to everyone that wanted Lizard Paris and the new Sato.

DraftedMcCoy

Rarley do I fully skip events. This will be one, maybe my first.

I can’t get onboard with any of these characters. But thats personal preference

When you get him in your crew, stick him on your bridge as you Warp 10 around. Just to mess with him.

Then airlock him when you're done with your fun.

This is one crew whom I will simply not keep, regardless of stats. And I kept GP Neelix. I've even maxed a Wesley.

Commodore Decker

Curious ... will Paris be the Threshold reward?

Travis S McClain

For those wondering...

EXISTING SATO PERSONAE
4* Mirror Empress Sato
2* Ensign Sato

EXISTING PARIS PERSONAE
5* Delta Flyer Paris
4* Captain Proton Paris
4* Combat Medic Paris
3* Hockey Paris
2* Nurse Paris

EXISTING PHLOX PERSONAE
5* Defensive Phlox
3* Surgeon Phlox
2* Dr Phlox

EXISTING POSSIBLE THRESHOLD REWARDS
(All 2* count toward the Uncommon Crew collection and 3* count toward the Rare Crew collection)

2* Dr Phlox has appeared once, and counts toward the Do No Harm collection
2* Ensign Sato has appeared once
2* Nurse Paris has appeared thrice

3* Hockey Paris has appeared in four events
3* Surgeon Phlox has never appeared in an event, and counts toward the Do No Harm collection

Footnotes:
This will be Sato's second event, Phlox's second, and Paris's fifth. Phlox appeared previously as Mirror Phlox in his other event.

For Cardassia

So, in case anyone is wondering, bonus crew seems pretty lacking. Excluding 1*/2* crew (and event crew), we have...

3* Surgeon Phlox
5* Defensive Phlox

3* Hockey Paris
4* Captain Proton Paris
4* Combat Medic Paris
5* Delta Flyer Paris

4* Mirror Hoshi

That's 7 bonus crew, 5 of which are 4* and up. Not a whole lot.

Presumably, that means a trait will be added to count as bonus crew. What could that be?

I was thinking maybe "Primal", but that only adds 4 crew (Proto Barclay, Proto Worf, Momma Horta and Ripper).

Something like "Desperate" or "Brutal" could work I suppose (the latter ties in with Phlox, the former with Hoshi) but that's a lot of crew, probably too much (68 for Desperate, 67 for Brutal).

EDIT: aw man, ninja'd by Travis

Killer Kitty

In view of what just happened 24 hours ago, I have a few questions, and Shan, I hope you get whoever is responsible for making it happen to explicitly answer this, so that when things go south we know which of your colleagues we can send hate mail to.
1) How many Factions are there?
2) How many Shuttles will there be in each faction?
3) Are you sure?

That Threshold episode from Voyager won an emmy. Make him full amphibian Paris!

Wait, seriously?

Dear god, and I thought my opinion of awards shows couldn't get any lower.

It was an award for Makeup. And frankly, yeah the makeup was done well.

Capt Ajamm

We were told the specifics of events are now random, varying with each unique event.

I would hope that the accuracy & reliability of any forthcoming details will not be subject to any such varying randomness.

Oh, ok yeah, that makes sense. Star Trek shows generally dominated the Emmys in the 90's when it came to the make-up and effects awards. Unfortunately hardly any of the actors were ever given such recognition.
