Not for me. I began suspecting that they were both darloks by paragraph 4 (there was something just a bit odd about that nurse)... Although I thought through most of the story that it was going to be a debriefing, not insertion training...
Questions:
So Darloks can obtain the appearance of another race simply by injecting themselves with their genetic material? How does that work exactly (Although a certain well known horror movie comes to my mind...)? Does that mean that the Silicoids and the Meklar couldn't be mimiced?
Do all Darlok infiltrators mimic specific living creatures?
And how does the memory imprinting work? Was the operative imprinted while he was unconscious, and his memory gaps were a result of an incomplete procedure? Or poor mental training?
Do all Darlok infiltrators believe they really are their disguise until "activated", or is it normally just an act?
I can answer some of it:
1- Yes they need DNA from the race to be mimiced. Any DNA will do - blood, hair, skin, spit, etc
2- We actually have a pseudo-scienced methodology on how they transform. We dropped some hints but are not ready to release exactly how it works.
3- They can mimic a Meklar - see the Bulrathi short story. No comment on Silicoid.
4- Darloks can mimic any living creature within certain limts. As an example they could mimic say a large dog in order to observe a target.
5- No comment on memory imprint at this time.
6- The subject as stated was not a trained operative. While Darloks can mimic creatures it takes trained operatives to actually go "undercover". Their training helps to keep them from breaking character.
7- No comment at this time on Darlok infiltrator staus.
Figured something was up with the nurse fairly quickly but Mark threw me for a loop lol.
Well done :)
Wait... Those two Meklars in that story were really Darloks? I didn't notice that... And based on the Meklar story, I kind of assumed that they would just get assimilated by the machines, if they tried to infiltrate the Meklar society...
And the Darloks can be revealed by geting injured? I take it that a "blood test" they used for spotting changelings in ST:DS9 would reveal one?
And will we ever learn what Darloks really look like?
Just out of curiosity, what is going to happen when all races get their stories? Will they stop comming, or will there be more about other subjects in the MoO16 universe?
Just thought of a possible event in the game (once espionage gets introduced):
Defecting spy. A spy from one empire defects to the empire that he was infiltrating.
Gameplay result: One empire loses a spy, while another gains one as well as a random tech that the first empire had, but the second didn't. Is should only happen when the general morale in the first empire is very low, but high in the second one.
I hope they keep the stories coming after release. Would be cool to have evolving lore
No- the Bulrathi trader pulled the ear worm out of the Darlok mimiced as a Meklar. Only upon searching the bodies did he discover one Meklar was really a Darlok. An ear worm is ultra-rare and virtually impossible to obtain which is why the Psilon paid a pretty sum for it. Again we have background on how they fake being a meklar - only the most highly trained operatives can go under cover on non-tissue based organisms (think Bond or Bourne). The two Meklars haggling with Natesi Nori are Meklars.
Partially yes on injuries - depends on some factors.
No comment on their real shape at this time.
We do have some things planned for after all the initial race stories are done. I cannot speak to what that may be at this time but rest assured we wont cut everyone off cold turkey :)
Not a bad idea on defection - I will pass it on to the dev team.
and by orionites i mean the species that lived in the orion system
PS.
Really great lore, hope they make a series or something using graphic assets from the game later. Like how star wars did with the storm troopers/clone or whatever that was. Master of Orion ftw!
Yes, the comment about his stomach turning due to the red liquid in the second paragraph. He would havwe called it blood if he was human. It was also obvious the nurse was intergating him from the start.
Just pointing this out as a Registered nurse myself: Up until 'What do you fear the most' that was all pretty standard fare. They did a pretty good admission interview up to that point (though I suspect that was the point)
Also: Devs: Re the other stories, I'm not seeing them easily, can they be pinned or moved to a lore subforum? It'd make finding/referencing them a LOT easier..
For now the easiest way to find them is on the MOO FB page. Click on the "More" button, thern "Notes". They are all there.
