          Agreed.

          I liked that he got a brief cameo. And I do understand why - ascendant beings are a pain to write interesting stories about.

          But it would be great to get a modern Trek episode with an ascendant Wesley in the mix in a way that really impacts the plot and exlores his character.

        It’s straight bonkers where they take this plot…

        spoiler

        In the Mirror Universe, the Terran Empire has regained it’s footing and a galactic power again, led by Admiral Leeta (which I’m still wrapping my head around since the Terran Empire was shown to be very xenophobic). A Terran strike force lead by by Marshall Janeway and a time displace Captain Tilly “Killy” launch a surprise attack on Jupiter Station in search of The Emperor’s Prize, which turns out to be Ilia. The Emperor is none other than Wesley who has used his immense intellect to ascend to the throne. He wanted Ilia to track down the mirror version of V’Ger; C’qer (pronounced Seeker, the ConQuERor VI probe. also referred to as The Other). Emperor Wesley plans to merge with The Other to ascend to godhood, and conquer the Prime universe. He starts by “digitizing” most of our solar system in the prime universe against a combined alliance of Starfleet, Klingons, the Romulan Republic, the Dominion, Cardassian Union, and some specific STO factions. Thanks to Ilia, V’Ger returns to the Sol System to aid, and you battle powered Wesley at the core until Bev gets in his head and talks him down. Then V’Ger & C’Qer, along with Ilia and Wesley go exploring and return all digitized planets and ships to normal space.

            Np.

            I mean, it’s possible they also made a live action movie out of the same plot, but I’m not sure. Haven’t come across it so far, though Axanar and Renegades show up from time to time.

      Wait, I recognize Milly Vanilly, but who’s the other girl smirking? I don’t remember her.
