I really don't think that's how it works.

They announced the pivot to a streaming movie in April 2023.

I dunno, from what we've seen on DS9 and Enterprise, Section 31 is willing to recruit operatives to fulfil their goals - we saw that in Malcom Reed and Bashir as Starfleet personnel, but also Koval, who was a Romulan agent.

A S31 agent like Alok Sahar, who operates outside the Federation and has the authority to recruit people to achieve the ogranization's goals, makes a kind of sense to me. A Deltan and a Chameloid both make sense from a spycraft perspective.

If anything, this iteration of S31 could show a progression from the out-in-the-open, "special forces" iteration of the group that we saw in Discovery, to the complete disavowal of DS9.

Fuzz

There's been speculation over whether he's a Vulcan or a Romulan, but I think this description points to him being a Vulcan who rejects Surak's teachings.

Melle

This might be the first confirmation that she is, in fact, Deltan. Seems like an asset for spy shit.

Georgiou

"Nightclub owner" is pretty far from where I expected her to land after "Terra Firma." It's kind of funny that they describe her as "unable to return to the Terran Empire," when that is something she decidely did not want to do by the end.

I'm reposting this because the list is now complete.

Edit: Except Garrett? Maybe she won't get one?


Fuzz (The Maniac)

Fuzz can switch from hysterical laughter to filter-free anger at the drop of a dime.

He's a fun-loving guy until he isn't. Just don't suggest anger management sessions to this Section 31 operative.


Melle (The Lover)

While most Deltans take an oath of celibacy upon joining Starfleet, Melle uses her irresistible magnetism for Section 31's benefit. After all, she's in a league of her own.


Zeph (The Machine)

Mech life ain't just about brute force. The human Zeph lives, works, and everything in between, inside his mechanical exoskeleton, drawing out the right tools in his work as a Section 31 operative.


Quasi (The Enigma)

No one's ever met a Chameloid's true form before, perpetuating their myth-like status as they never show their real appearance, which suits Quasi perfectly as a member of Section 31. He's disinterested in the delusion of "utopia" and most other things, especially you.


Alok Sahar (Mastermind)

Alok Sahar is a strategic mastermind who leads a special team of Section 31 operatives. Sahar is driven to make amends for actions in his past by serving the greater good, which involves tracking down and recruiting Emperor Philippa Georgiou for a covert mission.


Philippa Georgiou (The Emperor)

Unable to return to the Terran Empire, Emperor Philippa Georgiou lives under a new alias as owner of The Baraam, a nightclub operating outside of Federation space.

That is, until Section 31 enlists her to help protect the Federation while also facing the sins of her past.

Why do they have basic attributes of fictional characters? Tough to say...

Precision is important.

Seems like something they could've released a couple of days before Halloween?

Jennifer says she is being transferred to the USS Manitoba, which from the name might be a Parliament-class starship (the others we know of being Toronto and Vancouver).

In theory, that would break the banking convention - a Parliament class ship should be the Winnipeg in order to maintain it.

Maybe there's a Provincial class?

Edit: I should add the the banking convention was arguably broken from day one, since the legislative seat of BC is Victoria, not Vancouver.

What did everyone think? I slipped into a fugue state when I saw actual Gallamites.

Yes, I strongly encourage people to curate their own experience.

"I have asked the security services to figure out a way to give some information to the leader of the Opposition so that he can actually fulfil his responsibility of protecting Canadians, including those within his own caucus," Trudeau said during question period Wednesday.

"It would be easier if he got his security clearance, but I've asked them to give him some information nonetheless."

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!
