text for longer. Companies like to brag about how many hours are inside a game, this is the perfect chance to go where none have gone before.
You...must
Or better yet YOU could be Kirk and type very slowly to your group of friends! To go one further you could make the game last longer by getting your crew to admit there are infact 5 lights! No experience points until said otherwise!

'Star Trek' is a manifestation of a greater anomaly that has been called 'Retrograde Information Leakage' Its intricacies are somewhat complex, and are based on several scientific disciplines that have yet to be discovered in your time. Therefore, I will neither expound the cause of this anomaly, nor its details. A simple explanation of the specific effects of this anomaly will suffice.
Retrograde Information Leakage involves individuals getting 'Insights' into future events. Usually, this happens on a greatly limited and narrow scale. For instance, one might see in one's mind's eye, for a brief instance, a specific, single future event. However, there are instances when the anomaly takes on a much broader form. This happened, to an albeit somewhat limited extent, to Nostradamus 16th century.
The greatest manifestation of the anomaly, however, took place with Gene Roddenberry. His creation, 'Star Trek', which he based on the insights he received as a result of exposure to the anomaly, is amazingly accurate in most respects. Therefore, it is quite fortuitious that the human populace is unaware of the fact that 'Star Trek' is based on reality.
Now, the observant and intelligent among the readers of this exposition might wander why I am revealing the existence of Retrograde Information Leakage to the inhabitants of 21st Century Earth. The reason is simple: We have no choice. The crew of Voyager, along with a substantial segment of the population of the Federation of Planets, is faced with an immediate, dire threat, the existence of which can be traced to the 'Star Trek' Information Leakage anomaly.
In the interest of self-preservation, I have been ordered on behalf of Captain Janeway to utilize my newly established link to 21st century Earth to implore anyone who has the sufficient means to prevent the creation of this proposed 'Star Trek' 'MMOG' to utilize all resources at their disposal to do so.
This matter was debated heavily among the crew of the Voyager, as there are always very serious risks involved in attempting to tamper with the timeline. In the end, it was decided that the immediacy of the current threat is great enough to warrant tampering in this particular instance.
All we can do now is to wait and hope that our call has been heard.
