Conversion Methods

Volunteer

In the early days of the Consortium, most individuals were invited to join the movement, or heard about its formation by word of mouth, typically by someone already involved in the Consortium. Most volunteers already possess a deep-seeded hatred for Starfleet and the Federation or otherwise desire to see their quadrant freed by any influence from the Alpha Quadrant, including the Klingon Empire and the Ferengi.

Telepathic Conversion/Manipulation

The Consortium places a high value on both anonymity and having small numbers. Having small numbers, however, is becoming increasingly difficult due to where some agents need to be. Assassinating a Chief Operations Officer aboard a starship and replacing him with an agent is near-impossible in Starfleet. Exposing such an individual to the Consortium operating structure poses a risk should the agent be discovered.

Therefore, several loyal Starfleet officers were targeted for telepathic conversion. This could involve direct or indirect contact with a telepath, and possibly even some form of drugging or inebriation to weaken the officer in order to establish a telepathic link. Officers are often targeted based on their service records, psychological profile, and notes made by medical and psychological professionals.

Once converted, the new agent is prepared to do he Consortium's bidding once exposed to orders. Orders can be delivered in a variety of ways, hidden in a subspace transmission, response to a code "challenge" phrase (such as "Pity is Treason") or written in code on a crate label. Upon receipt of orders, the Starfleet officer instantly abandons his duty and begins to act out his/her tasks. The agent will not stop until the task is complete or his/her body ceases to function.

Otherwise Forced

For those the Consortium are unable to mentally manipulate, alternate means are used, including threats to an individual, his/her family. Promises of promotion are also considered, though these are rare, but it is entirely up to what motivates the target.

Blindly Following

For most personnel on Starfleet Ships and Bases, they believe they're following orders from Starfleet and are completely unaware that those orders were in fact fabricated or influenced by the Consortium. These should be the easiest to expose to the truth, but whether or not they recognize it will be the true challenge.

Disclaimer

The Consortium, created by former TF9CO Aio and current TF9CO Jelim_Mar, is the central focus of the canon for Bravo Fleet's Task Force Nine. While this sim is commanded by the current TF9XO and is actively contributing to the development of this canon, the Black Hawk will be taking certain liberties with the overall TF9 plotline. Therefore, while the actions of the Black Hawk are its own (meaning some of the locations and characters we will use will not be found in the official Bravo Fleet records), the outcomes of our missions still have the opportunity to shape and develop this canon as time goes on, giving us the proper freedom that we need to continue moving forward without seeking approval for each stage in this simulation's story.
