Message: <blockquote data-quote="Water Bob" data-source="post: 6314783" data-attributes="member: 92305">GOING BEYOND: Once the players figure out the problem, they are going to have to figure out how to deal with it.In the comic, Scotty rigs the transporter to beam two crewmen, in thruster suits, into wormhole space, and he uses the data taken from the ship's sensor logs (on the recent encounter with the Klingons) to figure a way for a shuttle, using a warp sled, to also enter wormhole space.This is all theoretical, but now the Enterprise crew has hard sensor data on four ships doing what the Starfleet personnel thought was impossible.  In your game, you may want to use these results and revelations as the subject of dice throws or as rewards for great ideas and great roleplaying on the part of the players.Once this is all figured out, the PCs will be able to travel to wormhole space, to the exact point where the Klingons retreated.  Now, communication between wormhole space and normal space is possible, once communication is established from the wormhole side.  And, sensors can be used, from the wormhole side only, sensing into normal space.CRAZY: One aspect of wormhole space that is touched on but not elaborated upon in the comic is that wormhole space has a sickening, disorienting effect on the human psyche.  I think this is a great excuse for the GM to have fun.  Vulcans, and possibly other aliens, would be good choices for this part of the mission (the two who are beamed to wormhole space--the shuttle is shielded from this effect).  Make a Vulcan cry.  Give him visions.  Describe how extreme his emotions are--that he can no longer hold them in check.Even if a human goes, this is the GM's license to bring in LSD-type lasting effects on the character (they can eventually fade).  Visions.  Sweats.  Periods of inaction ("What do you mean I just stood there, staring, for five whole minutes!")  Have a blast with this excellent roleplaying opportunity.THROUGH THE BREACH:  Most likely, the PC's ship is damaged.  While the two (have enough places, between the shuttle crew and those in thruster suits, to accommodate each of the PCs, one character each) in thruster suits are beamed into the wormhole, keep flashing back to the players' ship from time to time to make repair checks.You can end this part of the adventure as the first issue of the comic ends, with a cliffhanger:  Kirk and Ensign Bryce (the daughter of the Gallant's Science Officer, in a sub-plot from the comic) successfully beam into wormhole space.  After a moment to fight the disorienting effect, they are astounded at what they find.Massive.  In front of them.  With docking ports for several vessels, is a Klingon space station.A space station, hidden from normal space, armed to the teeth with battlecruisers.</blockquote>
