TMP - The Price of Freedom - Adventure Help
OK, so I am planning a Movie Period one-shot session - immediately after the Khitomer Accords. The Federation is trying to make nice with the Klingons, while the Romulans are planning to destabilise them both, if possible - or at least destroy the peace.
Now The Undiscovered Country is my favourite film, and I wanted to catch the fun, ott attitude, and zeitgeist of it.
The only problem is that I can't decide how to do it.
My first plot is that a client race of the Klingons is encouraged by the Romulans to shrug off their master's reign - just when the Federation starship happens to stop by.
This one starts with a rigged transport explodes in a docking bay, destroying a Klingon starbase. The Crew are redirected to a nearby planet and treated to a meal by the planetary governor and the Romulan Ambassador. During the night, the locals (the same ones to blow up the starbase) rebel. Cue pitched battle (as the Crew have to stay on the planet "for security", and can't leave Klingon space for the same reasons). They get passed from one side to another, hopefully try to negotiate and then find out that the Ambassador was behind it.
The second one involves the normalisation of the Klingon-Federation border. Cue the Marquis, a hundred years early. This one I like, but need Romulans somewhere believable - maybe willing to step in as a third party mediator? (oh, the irony)
The last one is the sketchiest, but involves some (better written) version of Nemesis, leading to the Romulans returning to isolationsism as they attempt to recover from the Big Bad Thing (TM).
So, thoughts? Suggestions?
"Whom do you serve?"
"The Truth"
"What is the truth?"
"That we are one people, with one voice"
"Will you follow me into fire, will you follow me into dartkness, will you follow me into death?"
"Yes"
"Then follow"
