This week on Priority One: We trek out Rosario Dawson’s Star Trek ambitions a couple of Star Trek alum hope to return to their former roles, and homages galore! Star Trek Online lifts our spirits with a second helping of the Winter Event, STO honors medical professionals, and a favorite federation ship gets a facelift. Then we open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages! Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Would you want Rosario Dawson to play Q? What other roles would Dawson be great in? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Rosario Dawson’s Favorite Letter -- or Character? From Christopher Lloyd to Christopher Plummer, Chris Pine to Chris Helmsworth - boy that’s a lot of Chris’s - Star Trek has attracted some outstanding talent. Chrisitian Slater’s cameo in Star Trek VI - another Chris - and Whoopie Goldberg’s recurring role as Guinan in Star Trek: The Next Generation proved to Hollywood stars that a little pushing could land them in their favorite franchise; and Rosario Dawson has taken notice. Dawson sat down with “Variety After Show”’s Audrey Cleo Yap to talk about her role as Allegra Dill on USA’s “Briarpatch”, but the 40 year-old Actor also talked about her desire to be in Star Trek. Dawson is rumored to be playing a part in Disney+’ s popular Star WARS series, “The Mandalorian”, and while she couldn’t confirm the rumor, she mentioned the 2 Star-franchises are bucket list acting jobs. LeVar Burton Gets Coy About Geordie on Picard LeVar Burton is amazing. Whether playing the inspirational Kunta Kinte in the “Roots” miniseries, taking us on a reading adventure via “Reading Rainbow”, or soaring through the galaxy as Geordi LaForge, there isn’t much he can’t do. Well, except maybe keep a secret. Much like his former co-star and close friend, Jonathan Frakes, Burton may have let slip details for an upcoming appearance on Star Trek. Sitting down with ET’s Lauren Zima, Burton all but guaranteed an appearance on “Star Trek: Picard” Anson Mount Talks Pike with Space.com You want a Pike series. We want a Pike series. And yes, Anson Mount wants a Pike series. In an interview with Space.com, the unabashed Trekkie Anson Mount recounted being cast in the role of the iconic Captain,reiterated that actors aren’t decision makers,and didn’t waffle on his thoughts about reprising Pike. Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover Winter is Coming…. Again The days are getting longer again. The birds and the budding trees welcome the sun’s warmth. We gaze out our Shelter-In-Place windows and… “Snowmen are coming down Blue Lozenge lane!” In a completely unexpected move to help players distract themselves from cabin fever, Q’s Winter Wonderland is returning to Star Trek Online. From April 24th to May 4th, on all platforms, players can head back into the Winter Event for all of the usual festive activities. There’s even great news for players who didn’t complete 2019’s Winter Event. Those players can take this opportunity to continue earning Daily Progress toward the T6 Fe’Ihri Fe’Range Dreadnought Carrier. Just for this special event, though, another prize has been offered. By turning in Ornaments collected in Event activities, players can earn a Lobi Package of 200 Lobi Crystals. This Lobi prize is claimable once per account. Polish up your frosted boots and sharpen your Klingon Ice Fishing Gauntlet, captains. We’ll see you on the snow! STO Honors Medical Workers This past Saturday, April 18th, Star Trek Online invited all players to show their gratitude to medical workers around the world. Players responded by the hundreds, cramming instances of Deep Space Nine’s upper promenade. Decked out in every Star Trek medical uniform you can imagine, and a few you probably can’t, players stood shoulder to shoulder to hold a torch for those risking their health to help the suffering. To see screenshots from many players who joined the demonstration, Trek out Star Trek Online’s Twitter account via the link in our show notes. Hector Ortiz draws the Summer Ships Over the past few weeks, four Star Trek Online development team members tested their skills at designing a Risian Science Vessel for the 2020 Summer Event. On April 15th, concept artist Hector Ortiz finally got his hands on those drawings. On a two hour live stream, which you can now view on STO’s YouTube channel, Hector turned those rough sketches into more polished concepts. While two hours may not be enough for even Hector to create four fully complete concept art drawings, the results were amazing. If you’re looking for something interesting to watch while you’re at home this week, Trek out the video link in our show notes. And keep your eyes on STO’s social media channels. When Hector has finished his concept drawings of all four ships, the final designs will be opened up for community voting. Ships of the Line: Akira On Tuesday, Ambassador Kael posted a news blog announcing both a new type of C-Store bundle and an updated ship model to launch it. A brand new model and material for the Akira-Class Heavy Escort will be the first ship offered in the new “Ships of the Line” bundle. The bundle, which will cost 6000 Zen, will contain the T6 Alita Heavy Strike Wing Escort, the T5 Armitage Heavy Strike Wing Escort, the T3 Thunderchild Heavy Escort Refit, and one Fleet Ship Module. The new look for the Akira-Class is the most detailed and screen-accurate look for the ship yet, bringing it closer to its appearance in the film Star Trek: First Contact. For a short time, from April 23rd to April 30th at 10am Pacific Time, the new Akira bundle will be 35% off in the C-Store. For those who already own one of these ship classes, the updated model is available freely in the Ship Customization screen. Thomas Marrone Talks with QueueTimes Thomas Marrone sat down recently with Eric Campbell from QueueTimes, the team that produces the Star Trek Adventures RPG show “Clear Skies”. For an hour and a half, Cryptic’s Lead Ship and UI Artist chatted about the game, his work, and the process of designing a brand new Galaxy-Class variant for “Clear Skies”. The interview is well worth a watch, so just follow the link. But towards the end of that stream, Thomas took a moment to tease STO players with the reveal of a brand new model for the beloved Klingon Bird of Prey. The new model looks far more detailed and accurate than any Bird of Prey currently in game, even including Klingon script of the ship’s name on the wing. If you’re in a hurry to see the new Bird of Prey, skip ahead in the video to the 1 hour 30 minute mark. EVENTS Starting on April 30th, PC players have an “Item Upgrade” weekend through May 4th. During this event, item upgrade tokens provide 100% more Technology Points. And a special three week Bonus XP Event has just begun on all platforms. Until May 15th, earn double XP throughout the game. Due to the issues with the event, we are extending the First Contact Day celebration until April 30th on PC and May 7th on Xbox One and Playstation 4. PRIORITY ONE ARMADA NEWS Join us for TFO Thursday - each Thursday we team up with other Armada members to earn marks and dilithium. Tribbles and bits - cannibal tribble edition. Mirror Month!

Voyager's journey back to the Alpha Quadrant has finally crossed into Borg space and the crew must decide whether to press forward or give up their quest to return home.

"Scorpion" has our characters fighting tooth-and-nail with enemies and allies alike and struggling to remain human and humane in the face of disaster. On this episode, we talk about Voyager's "Best of Both Worlds", fighting against your nature, following the chain of command, the debate of collectivism vs. individuality, Janeway's skills as a mentor, giving aid to the enemy, the limits of consent, exploring the right to die, and making the "anti-Tuvix decision."We also discuss recycling TNG plots, the lost art of the teaser, the unrealized 4th season of TOS, Chakotay channeling McCoy vibes, the coronavirus moving into your apartment, "Janekotway", the vagaries of the universal translator, "Borgager", the pastimes of powerful people, Sliders, Mom and Dad are fighting, "outer fluid", some slight Picard premiere spoilers, and Aaron has a few notes for Alex Kurtzman!"Excuse me . . . what do the Borg need with a planet?"Follow Kelli on Twitter and visit her website!http://www.twitter.com/kellifitzwriteshttps://kellifitzpatrick.comBoldly roll with the Star Trek Adventures RPG from Modiphius!https://amzn.to/3bPt5IFLearn the story behind your favorite Trek stories with Backtrekking!http://www.twitter.com/backtrekkingSwap stories with us on Facebook and Twitter and the Just Enough Trope Discord!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttp://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttps://discord.gg/UeytGNPBuy us a wet/dry space vac on Patreon!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodSubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

On this episode, we talk about Voyager's "Best of Both Worlds", fighting against your nature, following the chain of command, the debate of collectivism vs. individuality, Janeway's skills as a mentor, giving aid to the enemy, the limits of consent, exploring the right to die, and making the "anti-Tuvix decision."We also discuss recycling TNG plots, the lost art of the teaser, the unrealized 4th season of TOS, Chakotay channeling McCoy vibes, the coronavirus moving into your apartment, "Janekotway", the vagaries of the universal translator, "Borgager", the pastimes of powerful people, Sliders, Mom and Dad are fighting, "outer fluid", some slight Picard premiere spoilers, and Aaron has a few notes for Alex Kurtzman!"Excuse me . . . what do the Borg need with a planet?"Follow Kelli on Twitter and visit her website!http://www.twitter.com/kellifitzwriteshttps://kellifitzpatrick.comBoldly roll with the Star Trek Adventures RPG from Modiphius!https://amzn.to/3bPt5IFLearn the story behind your favorite Trek stories with Backtrekking!http://www.twitter.com/backtrekkingSwap stories with us on Facebook and Twitter and the Just Enough Trope Discord!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttp://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttps://discord.gg/UeytGNPBuy us a wet/dry space vac on Patreon!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodSubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2
TIMESTAMPS:
This week on Priority One --- Well… it’s much like last week… with even MORE marketing hype behind Star Trek: Picard. Star Trek Online’s 10th Anniversary is right around the corner and what you can look forward to. And finally, we open hailing frequencies and receive all of your incoming messages. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Questions Are: CQ: Would you rather see Discovery Season 3 released first, or Lower Decks? AND CQ: What are you most looking forward to for Star Trek Online’s 10th Anniversary? TREK IT OUT by Shane Hoover Picard Final Marketing Push After what seemed like a lifetime of waiting and marketing teases… Or were we just mentally trapped in a Kataanian probe full of Picard marketing for 20 minutes? Hey, either way it’s finally time! Star Trek Picard premiers on CBS: All Access this week. Whether you’ve already seen the series pilot or not, we’ve got a couple of fun stories from Picard’s final marketing push. For starters, CBS arranged a two day takeover of London’s Picadilly Circus Underground station. Star Trek branding adorned the tiled roundels in the station’s ticket hall, declaring it to be “PICARDilly Circus”. Signs and train line maps throughout the station carried the theme as well. If you closed your eyes, you could perhaps imagine yourself in a Federation transportation hub as the PA announced “Please take care when using stairs, escalators or transporters.” Next stop - Earth Space Dock? Our next Picard marketing tidbit comes courtesy of a Variety interview with the cast and crew at the show’s premiere event in Hollywood. When asked which Trek character each of them would most like to share drinks with, the answers were gracious, touching, and funny in turn. Sir Patrick Stewart joked, “Your question suggests that that hasn’t happened yet.” before adding “There are a lot of new characters with me now. And they are, without exception, delightful people. So a glass or two of something pleasant with any of them would be a treat.” Rod Roddenberry touchingly replied, “My dad. I know that’s not what you were asking, but that’s who I’d most like to hang out with.” While several other cast and crew all agreed that Picard himself was their man of choice, new star Isa Briones offered an amusing reply, “I shouldn’t answer that because I’m not 21 for a few days! Hypothetically, Guinan, because she would get me drunk in the right way!” And our last Picard marketing bit comes courtesy of Sir Patrick’s appearance on the BBC talk show The Graham Norton Show. The host asked Stewart if, given TNG’s heavy syndication, he ever found himself unintentionally drawn into watching the show. While Sir Patrick declared that he doesn’t seek out the show, he shared a funny story about one night staying in a hotel. While channel surfing, Stewart came across an episode of The Next Generation. After watching for a few minutes, he found himself hooked. It was at this point that his room service order was brought into the room, and the hotel staff person looked at him, looked at the television, and went away. Stewart told Norton, “I thought, he’s going to go away and tell the entire kitchen “It’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. This guy is upstairs, alone, having room service, watching himself on TV!” Discovery Season Three and Lower Decks Nearing Release? There’s still no official word from CBS on the release schedule for the rest of its forthcoming Star Trek shows. However, a couple of Tweets were dropped this past week that give us hints that we may not have long to wait. First, back on January 14th, TrekCore.com’s twitter account posted a very brief chat with Executive Producer Heather Kadin. Asked if Discovery’s new season would be coming on the heels of Picard, Kadin had a surprising answer. She said, “It’s not up to me. CBS All Access schedules it. I’ll tell you that, come May, a lot of things will be ready. “Lower Decks” will be ready. “Discovery” Season 3 will be ready.” She added her expectation that the shows would be scheduled to ensure a steady flow of content. She also declared, “I can’t wait for people to see “Lower Decks”“ Just a few days later, on the 17th, another tantalizing Tweet appeared. Michelle Paradise, Discovery Season 3’s writer, tweeted a photo of one line of script boldly declaring “End of Season Three”. So with the writing on the show complete, and the Picard Executive Producer expecting the shows to be ready by May, maybe we won’t be waiting long after Picard’s finale for the next show. 25th Anniversary of Voyager 25 years ago, Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager began their adventures in the Delta Quadrant. In honor of the special day, many of Voyager’s cast members took to Twitter to celebrate. The Captain herself posted a short video captioned “Thought I’d dust off my uniform (pips, badge & boots) in celebration of the 25th anniversary.” In the video, to the stirring tune of Voyager’s theme music, Kate Mulgrew has arranged her Starfleet uniform and a Voyager script atop a Voyager folding director’s chair. Robert Picardo, who played The Doctor, shared a photo of his character in costume as the Emergency Command Hologram with the caption, “The ECH has issued an order: you’d better be celebrating 25 years of Voyager! Please don’t tell Kate Mulgrew I’m sitting in her chair again.” Seven of Nine’s Jeri Ryan, now working on Star Trek Picard, posted a full cast photo captioned “Happy 25th Birthday, Star Trek Voyager! To the journey…” And eternal Ensign Harry Kim, Garret Wang, posted two cast photos with a note saying “So, it was exactly 25 years ago, this evening, that Voyager first aired on UPN. Happy 25th Anniversary to the cast, crew and fans of Star Trek Voyager May we all live long and prosper!” Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Anthony Cox Omega Event Returns for Anniversary X To many of us, Star Trek Online is the ultimate Trekkie experience. Being able to graduate from Starfleet Academy, rise through the ranks at Starfleet, and Captain our very own starship as we warp throughout the 50 plus years of the Star Trek Universe. This year alone we will see Voyager celebrate its 25th anniversary, we’ll see Captain Jean-Luc Picard takes to stars again, we will again have more than one Star Trek show to look forward to, and the game that has glued all our favorite stories together will turn 10 years old. For PC players beginning this Tuesday, January 28th, Star Trek Online beams down the party patrol, hands out the party poppers, and releases the Omega Particles. There will be two new crafting options for the Omega particles this year, you will now be able to craft mark OR rarity variations of the Omega upgrades. The party pooper this year will feature the greatest hits of past poppers. The anniversary pack is adding several new emotes including a Disco Dance, Tea - Earl Grey, Evil Plans, Organian Greetings, and Ta-dah! And of course you’ll be able to earn yourself a shiny new Tier 6 ship, The Khitomer Alliance Battlecruiser. Klingon/Federation Hybrid Ship for the 10th Anniversary An amalgamation of design aesthetics from both the Klingon Defence Force and Starfleet, this formidable ship comes with the Aligned Antiproton Shielding Universal Console. Which when activated gives a temporary boost to Energy Weapon Haste, Shield Regeneration, and Shield Capacity that increases the more damage your shields take. Re-activating the ability afterwards will deal antiproton damage to each nearby enemy. Reaching level 5 in the Alliance Battlecruiser will unlock the Automated Shield Alignment Starship Trait. Slotting this trait will give a bonus to damage based on what percentage of your shields is missing. Defeating an enemy will restore a substantial portion of your shields. New Task Force Operation Launching with 10th Anniversary The task force operation, To Hell with Honor, was announced last week and featured on a recent Ten Forward Weekly live stream. The TFO has Captains taking the fight to J’Ula in a space versus ground forces battle on a barren moon. As John Hegner noted during the live stream, there are a couple of different strategies players can take when approaching the TFO. Stage one pits Captains against ground turrets while they make their way to J’Ula’s headquarters. During stage two, Captains will battle against both J’Ula’s forces and Elachi ground walkers. Any turrets not destroyed during stage one will help you fight the Elachi. There is a stage three, but not wanting to spoil anything, we’ll let listeners discover that for themselves. Two Previous TFOs Return with 10th Anniversary Update The 10th Anniversary update will also bring us two previous TFOs into regular rotation. Battle at the Binary Stars and the Mycelial Realm return to join the permanent list of regularly available TFOs. In Battle at the Binary Stars you’ll take on the role of a Discovery era starship involved with the famous battle we first saw in the premiere episode of Star Trek Discovery. Not only is this a beautiful map and exciting battle, but you’ll get to see cutscene recreated in game as they played out in Discovery. Then enter the Mycelial Realm in a ground TFO where you’ll team up with Tardigrade to fight Elachi and try to hinder J’Ula’s efforts. Event Campaign Continues and Mudd’s Market Launches on Console Console Captain’s can continue their campaign progress towards a free Tier Six ship coupon by playing in the Voth Breach event. Players have the choice of either playing the Into the Breach featured Task Force Operation or in any of the new re-imagined space patrols that were previously released on PC. Completing the daily progress with the TFO or two of the patrols 14 times will also earn you the Voth power Subcore console along with the usual Featured TFO rewards. This even runs now until January 27th. The USS Ross Galaxy Variant Revealed on Clear Skies Show On this week’s episode of “Clear Skies,” the Star Trek Adventures RPG from the creative minds behind “Shield of Tomorrow,” the crew of the USS Ross finally set out on their adventure and gave us our first look at the starship. The title sequence, put together by none other than ZEFilms, showcases the Galaxy variant which will be available as an in game variant for exploration cruisers. The show, “Clear Skies,” can be seen Monday nights on the Queue Times Twitch channel. That’s twitch.tv/Q-U-E-U-E-times. PRIORITY ONE ARMADA NEWS This week in Armada News: Join us for TFO Tuesday - each Tuesday we team up with other Armada members to earn marks and dilithium. Tribbles and Bits - new ongoing weekly event - we want to hear from you - so each week, we are going to ask a random question about Star Trek and about STO and we want your responses. Link posted on the website: https://www.priorityonearmada.com/forum/m/38628939/viewthread/33010253-tribbles-bits-weekly-random-trek-questions/post/138379909#p138379909 Last week, we recognized some of our members that have gone above and beyond having made contributions to the Armada. We presented the “Outstanding Service Medal” to Capt Teymareux@lirimareux of the Priority One-Gamma Fleet, Capt Elsbeth@dthorpe1964 of the Priority One-Alpha Fleet, Capt Wyle@wylekyotie of the Priority One-Delta Fleet, Capt The Hawk@ocatvious#9172 of the Priority One-Beta Fleet, Adm Nicki@queenbetazoid#8547 of the Priority One-Gamma Fleet, and Adm Flextion@alefluke#6306 of the Priority One-Alpha Fleet. This is an extraordinary accomplishment and each of you have become part of a very distinguished group within our community and we are so grateful for your generosity and dedication to the Armada. WEEKLY TOP TIP With the Voth Breach arriving on Console as the featured TFO, we want to give you a couple of tips for completing it hastily. The first stage of the TFO is pretty straight forward, literally. You and your teammates fly at full impulse down the outside spine of the ship firing all around. Very much like the Death Star trench run in Star Wars. Occasionally you’ll slow down to take out some turrets and then in the featured version you’ll head straight down into the belly of the ship to take on the Subpower Cores. Here’s where the first tip comes in. Only one of the three chambers will have the correct subpower core. The other two will have a question mark in the name. Don’t attack these ones, heal yourself up and go to another chamber. Remember that a chamber will not have the correct subpower core twice in a row. After your team explodes the Subpower Core, head into the next chamber and start taking down the primary power core. This one has a rotating shield. You can either fly around the core keeping your ship broadsiding the exposed space between the shielding, or sit tight and buff up your ship when the shield blocks your firing arcs. It’s up to you. But make sure you get your pacing down or you’ll be wasting your buffed attacked on an immune shield.

Get your hankies ready this week as we receive "The Visitor"!Author and Star Trek Adventures line editor Jim Johnson joins the show to discuss one of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's most affecting hours. An accident aboard the Defiant causes Sisko to be lost in time and Jake must struggle to overcome the loss of his father. As the years pass and Jake gets older, he sees his contentment, his family, his health, and his future being stripped away, as he contemplates a fatal solution that could bring back his father and correct the tragedy that forever altered their destinies!DS9 was far ahead of its time, both for portraying a black family in science fiction and for having the courage to present stories about love and family against the backdrop of space military sci-fi. It also featured Jake as an unlikely sci-fi hero, a creative with no desire to fight or explore space, choosing instead to explore his own creative limits. During our discussion, we talk about DS9's own take on "The Inner Light" and how it contrasts with the show's later wartime stories, the all too rare example of filial love in TV sci-fi, the contrast between Wesley and Jake, letting go of the past, and the difficulty in writing stories about writing.We also discuss getting advice from Dean Wesley Smith, synthacheeseburgers, that last scene, how old Federation citizens can get, whether "Enterprise" will ever be remembered fondly, being an Egyptophile, Waldenbooks nostalgia, Weird West, Disney's Haunted Mansion, Aaron wonders about the Federation's opinion on suicide, and Jim makes the show's first "Throw Momma From The Train" reference!*sob*Follow Jim on Twitter!https://twitter.com/scribe_ineti/Roll boldly with Star Trek Adventures RPG!https://amzn.to/2JLtOgHReunite with us on Facebook and Twitter and our Facebook group!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/eistpod/http://www.twitter.com/eistpodBuy us dice on Patreon!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodSubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

James Introcaso chats with author and game designer Jim Johnson about the Star Trek Adventures RPG.
We continue experimenting with a few new segments this week - unfortunately I still start the show with jokes. We then talk about various games like Legend of the Five Rings, Dream On, and Welcome to Walnut Grove. Our big segment this week is a Top 5 list, but a weird one - games that we are excited for but that we are sure someone else at the table will hate. Then finally, we mute Collin and Cindy while Philip and I talk RPGs. Namely, the new Star Trek Adventures RPG.News7th Continent Expansionhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1926712971/the-7th-continent-what-goes-up-must-come-down?ref=categoryHobby Holder handle for painting minishttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gameenvy/the-hobby-holder-a-better-way-to-paint-miniatures/descriptionPotato Pirateshttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/codomo/potato-pirates-the-tastiest-coding-card-game/descriptionStarfinder Minishttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/325468910/starfinder-masterclass-miniatures/descriptionSICK: Slightly Inappropriate Cards for Kidshttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sick/sick/descriptionEnd of the Trailhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brentdickman/end-of-the-trail-find-fortune-in-the-california-goThis podcast is an Obsessive Comics Disorder production - visit ocdcast.com for more great videos and podcasts.

We had the chance to interview Chris Birch from Modiphius at GenCon about the the new Star Trek Adventures RPG. He describes how the game duplicates the character-based narratives of the franchise by encouraging players to challenge their characters' values and build their own crew of familiar faces as they explore the unknown. We also get updates on Achtung! Cthulhu and some details about the forthcoming Fallout Miniatures game.
